DIWALI 2019: 12 Makeup and Beauty Look Breakdowns

Diwali is round the corner and like every year I am here with some Diwali special makeup and look breakdowns. But this year I’ll be doing a compilation post instead of doing just one or two looks. The options are many, so that you can experiment and mix and match to create your own Diwali looks. I want everyone to feel amazing, look beautiful and their best selves on this day and always. So I try to come up with these tutorials, all in the hopes of making the beautiful you even more beautiful.

Most of these looks are already covered on the blog. Just click on the links given under each section for the tutorials.

So, lets begin…

BLACK AND GOLD HALO SMOKEY EYES:-
This remains one of my most favorite looks till date. Spotlight/ Halo Smokey Eye makeup is in trend now. I am kind of obsessed with golden eye shadows and I feel that no Indian festive or traditional makeup is complete without a touch of gold on eyes. This is a very glamorous, sophisticated makeup look. However, with this eye makeup, instead of the burgundy lipstick, you can tone down the lips and go for a peachy neutral lip color. I believe there is no rule book, it is about whatever you are comfortable in.

SIMPLE HALO EYE MAKEUP:-

Another halo/spotlight eye makeup, but a simpler version. I went for silver this time, you can go for the color you want. This eye makeup really opens up eyes and gives the illusion of bigger, rounder eyes.

ROSE GOLD SMOKEY EYES:-

STROKE OF GOLD

A thin stroke of golden liquid liner can amp up any eye makeup in seconds. Try it. Go with silver instead if your attire has silver work or is silver toned.

FINGER SMUDGED SMOKY EYES:-

Last, but absolutely not the least, if you don’t want to or have enough time to spend doing makeup, this can be your savior. Soft, smudged smoky eyes look with just Kohl and without any brushes. I love this look, so easy to create and doesn’t even take a minute, yet looks tremendously sexy and alluring.
