Hydrating Primer
To start off, apply a hydrating primer for a hydrating base. This ensures that your makeup stays in place without turning cakey. It also acts as an anti-pollution shield, giving you the ideal base around the clock. Whether you’re creating a festive look or going for everyday glam, this primer is the perfect Diwali makeup buddy. It keeps your skin fresh and radiant throughout the celebrations.
Full-coverage Foundation
Next, select a foundation shade that closely matches your skin tone. To do so, simply refer to our foundation shade finder and pick a shade that suits your skin type.
Make small dots of the foundation on your forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin. Use your fingers and a brush, such as our Swipe Right Blending Brush, to blend everything in for a flawless finish. Make sure to smooth it down to your neck for a seamless look.
Concealer Magic
Up next in your Diwali makeup look is a concealer that leaves you with a flawless finish. Pick the facial regions you wish to conceal. The undereyes and the area around the nose are the regions that are usually concealed the most. Apply the concealer in dots with the applicator wand as per your desired coverage. Blend it in with your fingers or a makeup sponge.
Use your regular foundation and concealer. Make sure your base is natural and not very cakey. Use very little to give your skin the natural look. Apply the concealer properly and spread it finely with your finger tips. Based on your skin type, use a face powder to set the base evenly all through your skin.
Eyes
Go for golden eyes with a smokey look at the corners. OR simply choose the neutral eye makeup and add a little magic with a smokey look at the outer ends.
In case you want to look bold and play with colors, use colors like ivory and gold and use colored eyeliner to finish the look. Add a little shimmer in the edges for a more dramatic and festive look.
Brows
Thick and finely shaped brows are in vogue. So, simply color your brows with a black or brown shadow using a fine brush. Avoid using pencils for their unnatural looks.
Eye Lashes
Use long lasting, waterproof mascara on your lashes. Make sure you use enough to give your eyes the most beautiful look ever. Mascaras open up your eyes, making them look bigger and prettier.
Eye Liners
Choose the eyeliner you are most comfortable with. However, the winged eye liner shape looks classy these days.
Blush
Use a blush that adds a more glowing effect to your skin. Choose the color that highlights your cheeks perfectly. (Not very light colored)
Highlighter
Use a highlighter on the cheekbones and also the bridge of your nose.
Lips
Lip color is absolutely your choice. You can keep it light or even bright colored, based on your choice.
In case you are opting for a nude look, add a lot of gloss on your lips to add a little sparkle on them.
And if you are opting for colors, go for Pinks, Reds and Corals. And Lastly, Don’t forget to carry your makeup essentials where ever you go for a final touch up.
