Mount Abu has only a few bridal makeup artists of its own, so most brides book artists from Ahmedabad, Udaipur or Palanpur – or the hotel's salon. Here is how to book the right bridal makeup artist in Mount Abu and a mehendi artist.

- Ask your artist for a hydrating primer and long-wear base.
- Keep lip balm and a moisturiser in your touch-up kit.
