This week in beauty embraced long, voluminous curls and loose waves, as seen on Lara Raj and Huma Qureshi. Smokey eyes took on different forms, from softly diffused outer corners to deeper, more concentrated definition along the lash line. Champagne tones emerged as another recurring favourite, while nails spanned everything from understated nude manicures to statement chrome extensions. Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your next haircut, hair colour or festive beauty look, there’s plenty to take cues from.
A soft glam look was created by Tara Sutaria in her blue traditional sequin ensemble. Her hair was deeply parted to the side and styled into large brushed-out waves, with plenty of volume concentrated around the part. The ends curled inward to frame her face. Her base had a skin-like finish with subtle warmth added through a warm peachy pink blush and soft contouring around the cheekbones and jawline. A soft champagne eyeshadow washed over the lids before diffusing into beige and warm brown tones. A fine black eyeliner with a small flick completed the eye look. The eyebrows and lashes were defined while retaining their natural shape. Her lips were lined with a nude lip liner and finished with gloss. Long almond shaped nails were painted in a nude pink shade.
Straight out of a jazz club was Huma Qureshi’s evening glam. The complexion had fairly full coverage with an even appearance and a soft satin finish. The eyes were dominated by a smokey combination of deep brown, charcoal and black, with the shadow concentrated along the lash line and outer corners for an elongated effect. A muted terracotta blush sat high on the cheeks, keeping the focus on the eye makeup. A soft pink nude lip complemented the overall look. Her long brunette hair was styled into loose waves with a centre part.
Manushi Chhillar picked jewel toned makeup to match her outfit. Her complexion was kept extremely natural while taupe and brown shadows were diffused around the eyes, particularly through the crease and along the lower lash line. A terracotta brown blush subtly blended into the eye makeup for a tonal effect. Highlighter was placed along the bridge of the nose while the lips were finished in a mauve nude in a blurred finish. Her hair was swept into an updo with face framing strands deliberately left loose around the face.
Caramel brown hair was the focus of Lara Raj’s fun look, who styled it with a wispy fringe and loose, voluminous waves. Her skin had a bronzed, radiant finish while the under eyes were kept bright to add dimension to the look. Champagne eyeshadow covered the lids with silver sparkle was concentrated at the inner corners. Black kohl hugged both the upper and lower lash lines before fanning out into defined lashes. A rosy pink blush brought a fresh flush to the face, while warm bronzer and contour sculpted the cheekbones, temples and nose. Metallic highlighter was placed along the cheekbones, bridge of the nose and inner corners of the eyes. Her brows were kept skinny and the lips were slightly overlined for a fuller pout using a warm brown lip liner and a soft nude shade on top. Long golden chrome nail extensions completed the look.
A festive beauty look with a slightly modern finish came through on Nushrratt Bharuccha. The base was kept light with a lit-from-within glow, while a peach blush was swept across the apples of the cheeks. The eyes remained the main feature, with neutral brown and taupe shades softly layered across the lids and slightly deeper definition through the crease. A traditional black liner defined the upper lash line with a subtle extension towards the outer corner. Dark, lifted lashes added definition without overpowering the face. A muted peachy pink lipstick with a satin finish completed the makeup. Her hair was left open with plenty of volume at the crown and loose waves through the lengths.
