We have all gone through this – struggled hard to put all the cosmetics together for the bridal makeup kit. Since there is not much option for bridal makeup kits in India, we all run those necessary miles from one cosmetic store to another to put together the essentials. In this post, I am putting together bridal kit with products from the brand Lakme. You can pick according to what suits you after checking out the products out at the counter. So, let’s start:
