KEEP IT SUBTLE

You don't have to go all out this festive season; opt to keep it simple yet stunning instead.

- Karen Alfonso

We tend to go all OTT on Indian festive occasions, and that goes for our makeup choices too. Let us tell you this: keeping things monotone can make a bigger impact.

GET THE LOOK

1 Start with skin prep: cleanse your skin and then tap a serum onto it. Follow this with a moisturiser, massaging it in with circular motions. Apply a mattifying primer and then gently buff a lightweight foundation onto your skin with a damp beauty blender.

2 Move on to your brows. Using hairs upwards; this will allow yourself to see the sparse areas. Fill them in with a brow pomade

3 Using a flat eyeshadow brush, gently tap a shimmery dull gold hue all over your eyelid. Blend it out with a fluffy brush upto the outer corner of your lids. With a liquid liner, gently draw a thin line on your lash line.
