It was a week of beauty looks that balanced bold statements with more effortless details. Deep, blurred lips set the tone, with Aditi Rao Hydari and Bhumi Pednekkar making a case for richer shades, while Sanya Malhotra embraced her natural curls and Madhuri Dixit Nene opted for a textured updo. Metallic eyeshadow and defined eyeliners were recurring themes, with touches of body shimmer, faux freckles and gold French tips adding playful details to the season’s continued festive beauty inspiration.
Sanya Malhotra embraced her natural curls, styled into a side part with voluminous, slightly undone texture that gave the look a flowy, desi inspired appeal. Her skin had a smooth, even finish, with gentle definition along the cheekbones and jawline lending a sharper appearance to her naturally defined features. A warm, earthy flush added colour to the cheeks. The eyes remained the focal point, with deep brown and black eyeshadows softly blended across the eyelids and lower lash line to create a smoky effect. Dark liner defined both lash lines, with a softly winged finish along the upper lash line. A berry brick lip colour, paired with a lighter lip liner, completed the look. A sheer white manicure served as the final detail.
To balance her Indo-western ensemble, Madhuri Dixit Nene opted for a beauty look with evergreen appeal. Her hair was pulled back into a textured low ponytail, allowing her jewellery and makeup to shine through. A refined satin matte finish kept the complexion polished, while a pink, rosy flush added colour and lift to the face. Warm brown and muted pink eyeshadows were paired with champagne shimmer and finished with a fine line of black eyeliner. A nude lip liner defined the lips, followed by a mauve lipstick with a natural satin finish. Her pale pink manicure added a neat and elegant finishing touch.
Aditi Rao Hydari let her red lips take centre stage, keeping the rest of her makeup understated. Her hair was styled in her signature loose, tousled waves with natural-looking volume. The base remained fresh and luminous, while a muted pink blush added a natural flush to the cheeks. Soft neutral shades brought subtle depth to the eyes, with a hint of shimmer and highlighter lending a diffused glow to the face. The look paired particularly well with her sparkly outfit. The lips were the defining feature, lined in a dark pink shade and filled with a bold red that had a blurred, blotted effect.
Khushi Kapoor leaned into a glowy, festive beauty look, with her hair styled into a neat bun that allowed her backless blouse to stand out. Her base was radiant and polished, with a warm peachy rose blush adding colour and a lifted effect to the cheeks. The eyes were washed in warm bronze and brown shades that created a metallic finish, while an elongated, softly diffused eyeliner complemented the eye shape. Highlighter accentuated the high points of the face, adding to the overall luminosity. A warm brown lip liner outlined the lips, which were filled with a creamy nude lipstick that left behind a subtle glossy finish. Body glitter and oil added another layer of glow, bringing the festive look together.
Staying true to the warm tones of her sari, Rakulpreet Singh opted for a traditional beauty look with a cohesive, sun-kissed colour palette. Her base was kept warm and radiant, with peach blush complementing the orange toned makeup. Coral eyeshadow was blended into terracotta tones, while copper toned metallic shadow and brown eyeliner completed the eye look. A golden sheen across the cheekbones gave the skin a luminous finish, paired with a peachy nude lipstick in a creamy texture. Her nails were kept short and painted brown. Soft, loose curls and face framing strands added texture and movement to the hairstyle, which was loosely pinned back and accessorised with ear-chain jewellery.
