This week’s beauty looks featured a variety of styles, from understated makeup seen on Alia Bhatt and Samantha Ruth Prabhu to more defined features, whether it was statement eyes sported by Khushi Kapoor or a bold red lip embraced by Aditi Rao Hydari. Paired with traditional outfits, tailored silhouettes and more contemporary interpretations of festive dressing, each look offered a different take on festive beauty. Whether you prefer a softer approach to makeup or like to make a statement with your eyes, these celebrity appearances offered plenty of inspiration for styling your hair and makeup for the upcoming celebrations.
Taking a minimalist approach to traditional beauty, Alia Bhatt opted for a classic look centred around kohl-rimmed eyes. Her base was kept almost flawless, with a skin-like finish and a subtle rosy flush lending a fresh touch to the face. Soft neutral tones defined the lips, while a hint of golden shimmer on the inner corners of the eyes added brightness and dimension. A milky translucent manicure complemented the understated aesthetic. Her lips were outlined with a pink liner before being filled in with a glossy nude pink shade that added a hydrated finish. Her hair was left loose, with soft movement lending a relaxed touch to the otherwise polished festive look.
Rakulpreet Singh opted for an orange monochromatic look, with soft peach eyeshadow blended into deeper brown tones and enhanced with shimmery gold across the lids and lower lash line. A soft coral blush added a youthful flush to her cheeks while complementing her orange sari. Her base had a matte yet luminous finish, with highlighter accentuating the high points of her face. A creamy pink lipstick tied the look together, while her long, voluminous hair was styled into loose cascading waves. The warm colour palette made for a balanced pairing with her traditional festive ensemble.
For a dramatic yet understated beauty look, Khushi Kapoor paired her desi ensemble with sleek hair and warm toned makeup. Her hair was slicked back into a bun, finished with a clean middle part. The base had a warm satin finish, while terracotta blush added colour and softly sculpted her features. Warm brown and bronze eyeshadows lent depth to the lids in a smoky finish, complemented by long wispy lashes. A brown lip liner defined her lips before being filled in with a muted brown shade, keeping the focus firmly on her eyes. The combination of smoky eyes and a sleek bun made for a modern take on festive beauty.
Samantha Ruth Prabhu opted for a soft, no-makeup makeup look that complemented her contemporary take on traditional dressing. Her hair was styled in its natural form, falling into long, loose waves. Her skin had a dewy, hydrated finish, with a soft peach blush that paired beautifully with her orange outfit. Neutral beige and brown shades were blended across the lids, while a light brown liner subtly defined her eyes. A nude pink lip completed the look, making it an understated alternative to more elaborate festive makeup.
Against an otherwise minimal makeup look, Aditi Rao Hydari’s bold red lip stood out as the defining feature. Her outfit balanced a contemporary silhouette with traditional embroidery, a contrast that carried through to her beauty look. A luminous base was complemented by a peachy pink blush swept across the cheeks and lightly over the nose. The rest of her makeup was kept neutral, allowing the red lipstick to take centre stage. Her hair was styled in loose waves, adding movement and softness to the otherwise structured look. The bold lip also made a case for letting one statement feature do all the work.
