The Biggest Bridal Makeup Myth (Especially South Asian Brides Still Believe!) With Shebah Chirackal

So many brides, especially those who don’t usually wear makeup, fall into the same trap: “Makeup is just makeup.” They think it’s not that important. That it’s just about putting on a little foundation, some lashes, and moving on. But the truth is, bridal makeup isn’t about products; it’s about the impact it has on your confidence, your photos, your family’s approval, and your entire wedding experience. In this episode, Jenny Torry, international makeup artist and educator, sits down with her bride Sheba to break down why this myth is so dangerous, especially for South Asian brides who balance family traditions with their own vision. Sheba shares her honest fears, from worrying about looking “too made up,” to not wanting heavy foundation, to hoping her parents would love her look. What happened instead? Two iconic bridal looks she’ll never forget, plus peace of mind on the most important days of her life. Inside this episode: • The myth that “makeup is just makeup” and why it leads to regret. • Why the experience with your artist matters just as much as the look. • Sheba’s story of going from scared to empowered in Jenny’s chair. • How premium artistry delivers confidence, calm, and cohesion across all events. • Why investing in the right artist protects your legacy in photos for decades to come.
