Fall festivities are around the corner. From Dussehra and Diwali to Christmas, a period of feasting, lights, and glam celebration has begun. Like every year, this season also demands looks that will turn everyone blind(quite literally) and, of course, the who’s who of Instagram approves it.
To create an exclusive look, testing, vetting, and reviewing the latest in outfits, hairdo, skincare, fragrance, and makeup is a must.
Before you start scouring the internet for a viral moment, we've covered the makeup bit to keep you in the know. Whether your beauty vibe is minimalist, maximalist, or somewhere in between, check out some classics for starters.
Dewy base for blinding glow
Nourish your skin with a hydrating moisturiser, then use a lightweight foundation to create a natural glow. This makeup will give a radiant and fresh effect, especially at night.
How to achieve a perfect red wine lip?
Red lips are classics yet demure. A bold pop of colour, symbolising energy, passion and festivity. You can choose a shade that complements your skin tone while line with one shade lighter.
Classic Y2K wing eyeliner
Winged eyeliner is a drama-filled and sophisticated makeup that brings a bit to your overall look. It is recommended to use a liquid or gel eyeliner for precise and long-lasting application.
More is less when it comes to shimmers
A shimmery or bold-coloured eyeshadow is a fun way to incorporate some festive spark.
Create Korean berry blush
To add a healthy and rosy look to your face. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks in a shade that matches your skin tone (pink, coral or melon) for a fresh flush.
If not liner, then mascara can be your BFF
Not a liner girl? You don't need to worry, try waterproof mascara for that extra drama and definition for your lashes. Try coloured mascaras if you want to man up your makeup game.
While this piece was all about makeup, a bonus we are giving for the formal or cultural festivities. Go with sarees, lehengas, or kurta sets, while for the casual festivals, you can wear boho dresses or matching sets. Choose fabrics like silk for grand events or cotton for comfort, and add accessories to elevate your look.
