Brilio.net - Luna Maya successfully stole the public's attention when she appeared charming in her wedding ceremony with Maxime Bouttier. She chose Yogyakarta customs as the main concept of the wedding, but still maintained a modern and flawless impression in terms of facial makeup.
Her appearance at the sacred moment also received a lot of praise. In addition to the touch of makeup that looked smooth and graceful, many were captivated by the right blend of tradition and modernity in Luna's makeup.
Behind her appearance, Luna was made up by makeup artist Andy Chun who is known for his glamorous makeup style but still maintains the character of the client's original face. In her wedding, Luna asked for makeup that was not flashy but still emphasized an elegant and fresh impression.
Andy Chun explained that Luna wanted a simple makeup look but still gave a natural glowing impression on the face. He also adjusted his makeup technique so that Luna looked charming without looking excessive.
On the other hand, the makeup that completes Luna's traditional look is done by Mamie Hardo . Mamie is known as a traditional makeup artist who does a lot of Paes makeup with a distinctive touch and remains aesthetic.

This time, Mamie applied the Paes Ageng style but in a modified version. Luna chose not to use traditional makeup elements in full in order to maintain a light and modern impression on her face.
Paes Ageng which is usually equipped with prada or gold dust is not visible in Luna's makeup. She also avoids the deer-like eyebrow shape, and does not use centhung and sumping as in the traditional pakem paes style.
Long jasmine garlands were not used in Luna's appearance. Instead, she wore a white veil that gave a soft yet elegant impression in her sacred moment.

Luna's stunning appearance with flawless makeup apparently sparked the curiosity of one of the TikTok creators, @naniekyuliati585. She then tried to re-edit Luna's appearance with a Paes Ageng makeup version that truly follows traditional Javanese rules.
To produce the edited version, she started by collecting references for the original Paes Ageng makeup. After that, she added all the traditional elements that are usually used, such as prada, sumping, centhung, and the sharp menjangan eyebrow shape.

Not stopping at the face, the creator also changed the white kebaya worn by Luna during the ceremony to a black velvet kebaya. The dress was combined with a stacked necklace and a typical paes bracelet that made her appearance even more classy.
This edited version shows a bolder version of Luna Maya with a stronger touch of tradition. The aristocratic aura is increasingly radiated from the face and clothes worn in the edited version.

Paes Ageng itself is a classic makeup style that was once only used by the nobility or palace. This makeup is synonymous with luxury because it uses materials such as gold leaf that are difficult for the general public to reach.
As time and the world of beauty develop, Paes Ageng is now more flexible and can be used by anyone. Many makeup artists adapt this makeup style to keep it in line with modern aesthetics without losing the inherent traditional meaning.
