Indian festivals are a lot about colours, and what’s better than incorporating that in your look? This look defines the richness of the Indian festive season. Festivals are a great time to revisit the rituals, deep-rooted in our family culture. Therefore, this look for me reverberates what festivals mean to us—traditions, joy and celebrations. It has all the shimmer and glamour that we look for while getting dressed for the celebrations. The coloured glitter eyeliner brings a touch of modern-yet-traditional appeal to the look. The bronzed skin perfectly complements that happy vibe. It is complete in its own; it reflects that inner joy we feel during the celebrations.

ILLUMINATED RADIANT SKIN: During the festive season, make your skin your most important accessory. Wear a dewy glowing base, which means less powder (loose translucent powder). One can mix cream-based highlighters to their foundation for a glowing skin, or apply a light-weight primer with the highlighter evenly on your face and neck before your foundation. This gives a subtle glow, and there is no accessory better than a glowing skin, specially for the festivities. Contour and highlight your skin softly, this will give your face a much-needed definition.
