Ananya Panday’s clean-girl, no makeup-makeup image is thanks to some tricks of the trade that she’s picked up over the past couple of years. The hacks and tips give her an au naturel finish that many of us covet. But don’t worry. Panday never gatekeeps.
That’s why I have put together some of her all-time favourites in this story. You’re going to want to check ’em out.
Tip #1: Colour Your Waterline White
Ananya lines the inside of her waterline with white/nude-ish eyeliner to give her the appearance of bigger, doe-like eyes. Panday learned this hack from MUA Stacy Gomes. This trick will make you look wide-eyed on days you’re exhausted and sleepy.
Tip #2: Put Your Concealer To Work
Panday forgoes foundation too. The actor simply dabs some concealer onto the under-eye area and blemishes on the rest of her face before setting it with powder. This prevents the skin from looking overdone or cakey; imparting a soft-focus, no-makeup-makeup effect to your skin. It’s also perfect for the summer.
Tip #3: Apply Blush All Over
Ananya loves blush. She blends it onto the high points of her face: cheeks, chin, nose, and forehead. These are spots that catch the light beautifully; giving that flushed, sunkissed look.
Tip #4: Carry A Spoolie Everywhere
Ananya constantly brushes her brows upwards even if they’re not filled in. That’s why you’ll find a spoolie on her at all times. This makes the brows look thicker and more natural. If you don’t have a spare spoolie lying around, an old mascara wand will work just fine.
I know I’m putting these to the test ASAP.
