The Prettiest Of All
How good does this monochrome makeup look on Neha Sharma? All we’ve got to say is, Neha, please share your skincare routine with us. We need every last detail. The actor lets her eyes do the talking with a subtle pink eyeshadow and completes the eye makeup with a few coats of mascara. If you’re exacting, just like us, match your lips with your lids for an elevated look. Not to mention, the bun that’s less structured but just as romantic is perfect to take your style game up a notch.
To Turn Up The Heat
Let your eyes do the talking. If you’re not into taking risks with your makeup, this can be your go-to style to switch up your style game. There’s nothing like bold smoked out eye makeup – it’s fuss-free yet fashion-forward. Your social circle will definitely notice a work of art like this as it’s perf for Raksha Bandhan. You can get this look just right with this kohl eyeliner pencil.
A Total Classic!
This makeup look is straight-up art. If you’ve been considering trying soft smokey eye makeup, now is the time to do it. Whatever hue you decide on for your Raksha Bandhan look, be sure to grab an eyeshadow brush to blend your shade out on the outer crease of your eyes and below your lash line too. Tight line your water line using a kohl and then, use a dark brown or black eye shadow for a smokey effect. Coat your lips in your favourite nude lip shade to make an eye-catching statement.
The Gram-Worthy Look
With radiant skin and textured ponytail, Alia Bhatt keeps things interesting in the beauty department. We love everything about this look- sticking to her penchant for minimal beauty, Bhatt chose fresh and dewy makeup looks to complement her many ethnic ensembles and this one is no different. Plus, These textured ponytails are flooding our Instagram feed at the moment as it instantly injects a dose of style to almost any hairdo. This ponytail can easily be created with minimal effort and is on-so-stylish.
To Turn Heads
This one is subtle in its approach and edgy enough to help you make a head-turning statement. The one thing that we love about pink eyeshadow is that it legit works for everyone. If you want a fresh and effortless vibe? Go for a softer rose shade like Ananya. To take your look to the next level, sport a cutesy braided hairstyle like Ananya’s. Just middle part your hair, take a two-inch face-framing strand on either side, style it into a braid, and tie it at the back for a celeb-like look.
Perf For Trendsetters
Have fun with your Raksha Bandhan makeup this year and play around with glittery and glam iteration. Take cues from one of our fav B-town divas aka Malaika Arora, the look donned by her is downright stunning. The beautiful glow and glitter eyeshadow are simply too pretty for words. You can’t go wrong with this one, you’ll need a nude eyeshadow shade for the outer crease and a highly pigmented glitter eyeshadow for your lids. Also, you can create those beach-y waves by using a salt spray on your hair.
