Before my Instagram turns into a behemoth of sari-clad, lehenga-appareled celebrities, I’m doing a pre-Diwali edition featuring this week’s best beauty moments. Here’s what you need to know before you do any scrolling: Alia has endowed us with a sun-drenched selfie in honor of completing ten years in the industry, and Janhvi’s back to canvassing the app’s algorithm with head-swiveling snaps from her new movie’s promotions. That’s all I’m going to say. Scroll to catch up.
6 Note-Worthy Beauty Moments Of The Week
Megan Fox
Megan Fox’s nails have stopped bleeding blue — the actress has retired the manicure for a neutral-toned base punctuated by a blood-red drip on the tips. Though the lacquers assert themselves boldly in the carousel, a siren-eye-like aesthetic claims centre-stage while rose-tinted flushes declare the cheekbones their territory.
Janhvi Kapoor
Janhvi Kapoor’s lashes have never faltered. Their sky-skimming ambitions are commendable — determined to declare falsies of no value. The Milli actress’ dewy-dumpling aesthetic reigns supreme as brushed-out brows, rose-flushed cheeks, and heavy-handed flicks of highlighter make themselves apparent on the face. Long, voluptuous waves cascade down the shoulders playfully — further epitomising the sultriness of the look.
Shanaya Kapoor
Shanaya Kapoor’s making a case for warm-toned lipsticks. The 22-year-old has doused her lips in a shade of brown, and accented the choice with cat-eye flicks on the lids. Her high-shine look is courtesy free-handed strokes of highlighter migrating to almost every crevice of the face dexterously. Her cascade of waves roll past her shoulders without a stutter in all of their side-parted glory.
Malaika Arora
Malaika Arora’s power-packed strides this week were further fueled by decadent-looking brushes of star-studded eyeshadow on the lids. Arora armed her aesthetic with razor-thin flicks on the lids and anchored it with flushes of pink on the cheeks as well as the lips. Highlighter lent itself to the cheeks and temples before receding to the bridge of the nose quietly — thanks, Lakmé Fashion Week.
Doja Cat
Doja Cat’s wig has entered the chat — micro-fringe meets bob is what’s happening here. The singer continues treating her shaved-off brows as canvases for experimentation, and extends the principle to the eyes this time. They boast a kaleidoscopic iridescence that only Doja can pull off. A new neutral-toned manicure, sans the mile-long tips, prove to be a welcome switch-up from her graphic, multi-coloured ones.
Alia Bhatt
Alia in all of her sun-drenched glory has saved our week. The mother-to-be’s skin is enough to do all the show-stopping for her — rendering blushers and lipsticks almost unnecessary at this point. A puckered-up pout, brushed-out brows, and rosy-red cheeks unravel themselves lazily all over the face. Looove.
