The festive season is around the corner, and every woman wants to look gorgeous and stunning. Lohri is the harvest festival celebrated in northern India with great enthusiasm and joy. The festival marks the end of winter and the onset of the spring season. The festival is celebrated by lighting bonfires, eating festive food, dancing, and collecting gifts.
To start, it is important to follow some steps in your skin care regime to make your skin feel rejuvenated, fresh, and glowing. A good skin care routine is essential and should be followed both day and night.Use products free from harmful chemicals, parabens, and sulphates. Do not skip applying sunscreen.
Effect of Dewy Skin: Use a primer after skin care to get a long makeup stay.Mix a liquid highlighter or crush a bit of powder highlighter into your primer for a dewy skin effect. Use a hydrating foundation with sheer coverage. Add highlighter on the high points for that extra sheen. Add a pink lip balm to the lips for a plump effect.
Go monochromatic- one can easily create this look. Use neutral eyeshadow colours such as pink, peach, or beige.Apply eyeshadow primer to your eyelids and blend them well with your fingers. Blending a brown eyeshadow on the creaseOnce done, apply a pink eyeshadow to the entire lid. Smoke brown kohl on the lower lash line. Define the brows and finish the eyes using a volumizing mascara. Use the same shade of pink for the blush on the cheeks and lipstick to create a uniform monochromatic effect.
Golden Glow with Bronze Eyes: As you bid adieu to chilly winters, throw on some darker shades of eyeshadow. Adding some colours to the eyes will accentuate their beauty. Add kohl or eyeliner to flatter different eye shapes. Using a bronze shimmer eyeshadow creates a smokey effect on the eyes. Finish the eyes with mascara. Apply a nude shade of lipstick along with it.
Bold Red Lips: This is the most simple yet elegant look. A red lip never goes wrong for any occasion. Try a deeper shade of red. Such colours look perfect with a flawless base and well-groomed eyebrows. Let the eyes be bare; apply a nude eyeshadow in shades of brown or beige. Use the same colour to smoke the undereye area.To achieve a glam look, apply a generous amount of volume mascara.
Natural Look: Get a flawless base. Use a BB cream instead of foundation for the face. This is one product that adds hydration and colour to the skin without looking layered. Dust loose powder over it to set it in place. Add a soft pink blush and hydration mist. Use a matte eyeshadow in a pink or beige shade and mascara to keep the eyes bare. In the waterline, use a nude eye pencil. Finish the look by applying a gloss or creamy lipstick in neutral.
