Whether it was Alia Bhatt’s base that looks like candlelight instead of full coverage, Sreeleela’s blush that melts into matching lipstick or Khushi Kapoor’s liner that’s smoked just enough to elongate the eyes; across red carpets and festive nights out, the mood right now is high-glam. Voluminous blowouts that lift the features, soft-focus shadows in taupe and bronze, and cohesively put together looks dominated the week. If you’ve been itching to update your routine without reinventing it, this week’s looks are your reminder that the best glam often comes down to a few well-placed brushstrokes and elevations.
Sleek, centre-parted lengths set up a clean frame for Alaya F’s brushed-up brows, softly defined eyes with taupe lids, classic winged liner and fluttery lashes. A warm wash of nude-peach on the lips and cheeks ties everything together, emphasising her sharp bone structure.
Mimicking a candlelit glow, Alia Bhatt’s base is dewy but not greasy, with a peach-rose flush that melts into rose-gold shimmer on the lids. The eyes are ringed with diffused kohl and bronze shadow so they look defined rather than heavily lined, while a blurred nude lip keeps the whole face soft and luminous.
A rich, rounded blowout gives Bhumi Pednekkar’s face instant lift, while a precise feline flick and tightlined lashes sharpen the gaze. The skin is softly contoured with subtle highlight on the high points and that cool-toned, ’90s-inspired brown lip is the star of the look in a way that feels confident but not loud.
Khushi Kapoor leans into night-out makeup with a brushed-out blowout and easy movement, paired with a smoked-out liner that elongates the eyes without hiding them. A mix of brown and charcoal shadow hugs the lash line, finished with a caramel nude, lightly glossy lip that feels playful but still polished.
Karisma Kapoor’s makeup is classic and camera-ready. Her complexion is smooth with a soft-focus finish, paired with taupe and mink tones and kohl smoked around the eyes to pull out the cool grey in her irises. Defined lashes and a precise brow shape do the heavy lifting, while a beige-rose lip keeps the whole look elegant and very her.
With a gentle peachy-pink blush and matching creamy lip, giving that monochrome, “petal” effect, Sreeleela has a fresh, young take on classic festive glam. A fine, flicked eyeliner, champagne shimmer on the lids and lengthened lashes bring soft definition to the eyes. The loosely tied hair, dressed with fresh gajra frames the face beautifully.
