This week, beauty went back to the classics with Old Hollywood cues in the form of softly defined shimmery eyes and vintage-inspired rose nudes, Indian classic beauty touches like kohl-rimed eyes and elegant hair styling. Kareena Kapoor Khan set the mood with her signature glow and contour-first makeup, while Alaya F leaned into warm neutrals. On the other hand, Shanaya Kapoor served snatched modernity and Mrunal Thakur kept it effortless and breathable.
Rakul Preet Singh’s complexion was evenly perfected with pinpoint highlight on the cheekbones. Her eyes were shaped with minimal caramel and taupe shadows, blended outward to elongate without going fully smoky. Lash definition was feathered out and a peach-rose lip and coordinated blush brought some colour and freshness to the look.
With her hair doing most of the talking, Shanaya Kapoor’s look leaned sharply modern. The base was just the right amount of dewy with light contour carving the cheekbones and jaw for structure. A classic thin liner and tight liner added depth. Her brushed-up brows created lift and glossy coral. lips lent the glam factor.
Kareena Kapoor Khan’s classic glam carried a hydrated finish layered under breathable medium coverage. The eyes were defined with kohl and softly diffused grey shimmer shadow, keeping the shape strong but not heavy. Highlighter sits high on the face to enhance bone structure. Blush is placed to look natural and sheer, while a creamy nude-pink lip seals the evergreen look.
In a pink monochrome moment, Malaika Arora sported bubblegum pink tinted cheeks, lips and eyelids. The complexion paired glow with a warm bronzer and her hair in a classic chignon gave the face strong dimension.
Clean evening glam was the brief for Alaya F. The base was a luminous matte, creating contrast against statement accessories. Cheeks were subtly lifted with high placement of contour and a peachy taupe blush. The eyes featured a diffused smoky liner and fuller lashes that added some drama. Brows were sharply shaped and cooler apricot nude lip kept the palette fun.
Freshness led the mood in Mrunal Thakur’s skin-first makeup look. Coverage was sheer and breathable, letting natural tone and texture show through. A cream blush melt gave the cheeks a super subtle flush and eye definition stayed minimal with a matte grey eyeshadow all over the lids, tightlining and a touch of elongating mascara. Full, brushed brows added structure and a classic pink lip tied the look together.
