Calling all indian/pakistani girls - wedding stuff

My first cousin is getting married very soon and you know how asian weddings are like, they last forever (week) and there are so many events to go to. Anyway, I need some help on stuff.

My cousin's family are very close to us, I'm like best friends to his sisters, who are about the same age as me. The thing is, they are a rich family, so his sisters will be wearing clothing that are over a grand, and there's abit of a competition going on on who looks the best :redface: dont ask why.

Anyway, I'll get to the point, I'm abit stuck on hairstyles and makeup, because there are so many events and I cannot afford to get the hairdresser to do it everyday for me, unlike them :frown:

So could you give me afew ideas/tips on how to have my hair and makeup to match my suits. I just thought because you girls will know the skin colouring and what makeup colours will suit me best. But anyone is welcome to give me tips :smile:

1) Here's details of what I will wear and its event: yes spelling's are wrong :rolleyes: Need to know what makeup colours to wear.

Girl's family mendhi - Royal blue trouser suit with black/silver shine
Our family mendhi - Red and gold shalwar kameez
Nekkah/ruksitee - Cream and maroon/gold fishtail lengha
Veleema - Dark blue with shiny black embroidery sari

2) My hair right now. Dark brown and 4 inches past my shoulders. A couple of layers and feathered in the front with a side fringe. I have big ears that stick out, so I cannot tie my hair up or back :frown: That's why I'm stuck on hairstyles.

:smile:

cant u get a few highlights put in your hair before the occasion then u can curl and straighten it on different dayz or even do an updo, which will look effective and pretty.
about the makeup try different stuff and see wot suits best.
id personally say gold eyeshadow with maroon in the corners 2 giv shade and a good base . also liquid eyeliner looks good on dark eyes
anythin else just ask:smile:
I'm not really into highlights and stuff, it will just dry my hair out and I dont like the look of it. Gold eyeshadow and maroon sounds nice :smile:

I was thinking of using a different colour mascara/eye liner such as blue :blush: would that look ok, my mates say it looks tacky, but I'm sick of black.
Try things like different coloured make-up out beforehand
