Kiara Advani’s New Look Is A Love Letter To Y2K Trends

Kiara Advani’s New Look Is A Love Letter To Y2K Trends

Kiara Advani’s versatility isn’t just limited to her profession. The 29-year-old actress dabbles in extravagance as much as she experiments with minimalism in terms of her looks—and much of her aesthetic boasts a proclivity for Y2K trends. This look testifies to that—what with micro-braids sprouting out of her hair, and complementing her cascade of waves effortlessly. We’re decoding this hair and makeup look for you—step-by-step. Read on.

How Kiara Advani Channels Y2K Trends In Her New Look

Step One: Soft Shoulder-Grazing Waves

Before you start weaving your hair into microbraids, you must add a few waves along the length to play into the softness of the look. Layer your hair with a heat-protectant to minimise damage. Clip the top-half of your hair back, and retrieve your curling-iron. Begin by curling one chunk around the iron—from the top to the bottom—and hold it for a few seconds before letting it go. Do this section-wise throughout the hair to create Kiara-like waves.

Step Two: Face-Framing Micro-Braids

Kiara is fashioning two sets of micro-braids in this look—one set grazes her forehead, and the other is place toward the centre of her head. Start off by running a few drops of your go-to serum through your hair to soften the strands, tame flyaways, and repel frizz. Make sure you’re recreating this look with a middle-part. Proceed to pull two small sections of hair—not too thin or thick—from the front, and start braiding them. Twirl these chunks into a standard three-way braid, secure them with elastic-bands, and you’re done with one out of two sets. Mimic this process by braiding same-sized chunks toward the centre of your head like Kiara, and you’re fashioning a trend right out of the 90s.

Step Four: A Radiance-Inducing Foundation

Set the base of your makeup with a light-coverage ultra-hydrating formula that doesn’t just do the work of a foundation but moisturises and hydrates the skin to play into the dewiness of the look. You can go over any imperfections with a concealer, but don’t over do it. The base is minimal and light, and you want to keep it that way.

Step Three: Rose-Tinted Blush

A flush of rose punctuates the vibrance of this look. Just sweep a few drops of a liquid-based blush onto the apples of your cheeks for a perfect sun-drenched selfie for Instagram.

Step Four: Illuminating Highlighter

Dust a highlighter across the high-points of your face—cheeks, temple, jawline, and the bridge of the nose—and blend. You can even dab some onto your Cupid’s Bow to further justify the aesthetic.

Step Five: Delicious-Hued Eyeshadow

Drench your lids in a shade of orange-red like Kiara, and you’re done.

Step Six: Fluttery Lashes

For fuller-looking lashes, lift your eyelids before pressing an eyelash-curler down on your lashes. This lift will, literally, lift your lashes like never before. Make sure you’re coating your lashes in a volume-inducing mascara only after you’ve curled them. Pause for ten seconds between each coat for better results.

Step Seven: Defined Brows

Brush your brows outward, and fill them in with a brow-pencil to define them like Kiara’s. Notice how they descend upon her forehead boldly.

Step Eight: Peachy Lips

To balance the pop of orange packing into the lids, paint your lips a shade of peach.

And that’s how you do it.
