She completed the look with lush lashes and a nude pout. Plus, her red bindi takes this look to another dimension.
Too Pretty For Words!
For a festive makeup look that’s low effort yet high on style, take a leaf out of Tamannaah Bhatia’s book. Nude pink hues applied on lips, eyes, and cheeks create a look that’s guaranteed to break the internet. Apply a nude pink shadow all over your lids. Dab on a pink blush on the apples of your cheeks and complete the look with a pink gloss.

The makeup look stopped us dead in our tracks and we’re itching to copy it for the upcoming Diwali celebrations. All you need to do is apply a deep brown shadow to define your eye sockets as well as the outer corner of your eyes. Then, fill in the inner third corner of your eyes with a champagne gold eyeshadow. Pair it with cherub cheeks and nude lips.
Left On Red
There’s nothing we love more than a red-lip moment. If there’s ever a hall of fame for classic makeup looks, this look donned by Kangana belongs in it. The beauty look is hella-stunning but super easy to create. Just prep your skin with moisturiser and primer. Apply a lightweight foundation and concealer to give your skin an airbrushed finish. Curl your lashes and coat them with a lengthening, volumising mascara. Finish the look by swiping on your fave red lippie. This look gets a 10/10 from us.
One For The IT-Girl Books

Just apply a creamy shimmery gold eyeshadow all over your lids after applying your foundation and concealer. Tightline your eyes with kohl. And complete the look with nude pink balmy lipstick and flushed cheeks.
