Ananya Panday’s Soft-Glam Wedding Look Is a Keeper This Wedding Season
Soft-Glam Wedding Guest Makeup Is the Only Festive Beauty Formula You Need
Ananya Panday just offered a reliable blueprint for wedding-guest beauty on Instagram. Wearing an embroidered corset, skirt and cape set by Anamika Khanna and styled by Priyanka Kapadia, the actor balanced ornate couture with a luminous, understated makeup look that works across functions, from a sundowner mehendi to late-night pheras.
Captioning her post, “Is wedding season ending or just beginning? Or is it always wedding season?”, Panday made a strong case for mastering a repeatable glam routine that feels polished but never overdone.
Here is a step-by-step breakdown to recreate her soft-glam wedding makeup.
Begin with well-hydrated skin. Massage in a moisturiser and follow with a luminous primer so the base looks naturally lit rather than layered.
Choose a skin tint or light coverage foundation and blend it thoroughly with a damp sponge for a fresh, breathable finish. Conceal only where necessary, under the eyes and around any redness, and add a touch of liquid highlighter on the cheekbones and bridge of the nose.
Warm the face lightly using bronzer along the cheekbones, jawline and hairline, then add a soft peach blush sweeping upward toward the temples. The aim is dimension, not contour.
Keep brows natural by filling sparse areas with a fine pencil that mimics hair strokes.
For the eyes, wash a blush-pink shadow across the lids, deepen the crease with a muted rose tone, and tap a soft gold shimmer on top. Finish with slim black liner close to the lashes and generous mascara, adding minimal falsies only for lift.
Line the lips with a brown-nude pencil, apply a soft pink lipstick and finish with a clear gloss to keep the look youthful.
Seal everything with a dewy setting spray so the makeup stays luminous through long ceremonies and longer dance floors.
Soft-glam is becoming practical for wedding functions because it lasts longer and looks consistent across indoor lighting and harsh flash photography. Ananya Panday’s look works for day and night events, sits well with heavy outfits and does not need constant touch-ups, which is exactly why guests are choosing lighter bases over full coverage now.
