With fashion week appearances and events in full swing, this week’s beauty looks had incredible range. There were nostalgic moments, like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s burgundy red hair, alongside the luminous base seen on Alia Bhatt. Hair colour, sculpted blush, statement eyes and manicures all had their moment, while Kareena Kapoor Khan offered her own take on the clean girl aesthetic. Cherry flushed cheeks came through on Avantika and Alaya F, while Tara Sutaria made a case for dramatically kohl’d eyes. Read on for a beauty line-up filled with looks to bookmark and experiment with.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made a return with her iconic burgundy red hair, pairing her rich new colour with a bright red lip for fashion week. Styled into long, loose curls with a deep side part, the hair brought a touch of old-school glamour to the look. Her base was kept fresh and lightweight, with naturally groomed brows allowing the rest of the beauty look to stand out. Beige and deeper nude shades were softly diffused across the lids, while long, wispy lashes were separated with mascara. A touch of contour subtly sculpted her features and a clean, square-shaped French manicure finished the look.
Avantika’s base was skin-like, with a brighter centre that added dimension to the face. A berry pink blush was swept across the cheeks for a lifted effect, matching the hydrated finish of her lips. Light beige eyeshadow was placed in the inner corners before being blended into a dusty rose shade, with shimmer layered over the lids. Sleek black eyeliner added definition to the eyes, while glowing inner corners and highlighter on the high points of the face added luminosity. Her hair was parted in the middle and styled into a long, braided low bun.
Draped in an ivory sari, Alia Bhatt leaned into luminous beauty with a pearlescent base that gave her complexion an almost lit-from-within glow. Light pink blush was swept across her cheeks and nose for a delicate flush, while dusty brown eyeshadow was diffused across the lids and lower lash line. Champagne shimmer was pressed over the matte shadow for added luminosity. Highlighter across the high points of the face and a wash of body shimmer complemented the outfit and her hair was parted down the middle and slicked back into a low bun. Pink chrome nails added to the elegance, while a matte pink liquid lipstick kept the finish understated.
Eyes remained the defining feature of Tara Sutaria’s look, set against a matte, barely-there base. Beige and taupe eyeshadows created a soft smokey effect, with brown diffused towards the outer corners and along the lower lash line. Dark kohl traced both lash lines, extending slightly into a short wing for added drama. Warm terracotta blush was swept across the cheekbones and lightly over the nose, bringing warmth to the otherwise matte complexion. A nude lip liner defined the lips before they were filled in with a nude lipstick. Her textured low bun completed the desi look, leaving the neckline of her outfit visible, while long white almond shaped nails added a crisp finishing touch.
In an all white formal look, Kareena Kapoor Khan embraced a sharper take on clean girl beauty. Her base was kept fresh and skin-like, allowing her natural skin texture to show through. Brown kohl was tightlined along the lower lash line, while a winged brown liner gave the eyes subtle definition. Cool-toned pink blush was swept across the apples of her cheeks for a natural flush and paired with a nude lip. Her hair was pulled back into a slick, textured bun, leaning into the clean girl aesthetic. Long, sparkly white nails added a subtle touch of glam without taking away from the simplicity of the look.
