Parveen's video: Chikankari Suit and Makeup Look In Punjabi

Jee aayan nu! Back with another Punjabi makeup video, this time wearing a new Lucknowi Chikankari suit! I've never wore this type of suit before, what do you guys think? What is chikankari suit you may ask? Well, it's is a traditional embroidery style from Lucknow, India. Literally translated, the word means embroidery. Believed to have been introduced by Nur Jehan, the wife of Mughal emperor Jahangir, it is one of Lucknow's best known textile decoration styles. The market for local chikan is mainly in Chowk, Lucknow. Chikan work in the recent times has adapted additional embellishments like Mukaish, Kamdani, Badla, sequin, bead and mirror work, which gives it a rich look. Chikan embroidery is mostly done on fabrics like cotton, semi-Georgette, pure Georgette, crepe, chiffon, silk and any other fabric which is light and which highlights the embroidery. The fabric cannot be too thick or hard, else the embroidery needle won't pierce it. This of course, is a Punjabi makeup tutorial, which you all love so much.
