Along with beautiful outfits, women need to focus on the right make-up products to dazzle, says Bharti Modi
The festive season is just around the corner and there is a lot to happen in the coming months. This time of the year, people, especially women, start focusing on their wardrobe to stun the world. Along with beautiful outfits, you need right make-up to complement them. With the time approaching fast, our constant endeavour is to look even hotter than last year. For that, we are always in search of the right beauty products and make-up tricks. So to make it easier for you, we have shortlisted 10 must-have beauty essentials that you need to look your best:
Primer: To begin your makeup, primer is what you need to apply on your skin after the moisturiser. Many of you might not consider it a make-up essential, but when you will make late night visits to friends, relatives, or go shopping with family, you will certainly require a primer to get a smooth base and to hide your pours. It will also keep your make-up last long so you don’t have to worry about giving it a touch up again and again.
Foundation: If you are looking for a clear skin, go for medium to heavy coverage foundation with SPF. Just because summer is ending soon, this doesn’t make the sun rays any less harsh for your skin. Try to use products with SPF in every season. In case you are have a clear and glowing skin, choose sheer coverage foundation or a good BB cream as per your skin type.
Concealer: There is a possibility that you could have small or big dark circles and pigmentation areas. To make your overall look complete, concealer is the ultimate solution. Even though your foundation has given you a flawless skin, a little touch-up with a good concealer will make your appearance complete.
Pressed powder: After applying foundation on your face, it is extremely important to use a pressed powder. No matter what your skin type is, this will help in giving a base to the foundation and will remove the chances of white patches.
Blush: As festivals are all about a shimmery look and glowing skin, it is suggested to go with shimmers. But if you do not like the shimmery effect or you have acne, go for a matte pink blush to enhance your festive make-up look.
Kajal: It always goes well with traditional Indian look. Flaunt dark kohled eyes or line your waterline lightly if you don’t want a bold look. Just applying kajal makes one’s face look more appealing.
Mascara: This is pretty essential to complete your look. First curl your lashes and then give them volume using a mascara. Make sure to invest in high-quality mascara to give volume to your eyelashes.
Eyeliner: For the perfect festive look, go heavy on the liner and create a bold look with a cat eyeliner.
Shimmery eye shadow: Shimmery and glowing eye shadow go well with the festival make-up look. You can create a perfect eye makeup using gold or bronze eye shadow. Team it up with red lip colour. You can also try different shades or give a smoky effect to enhance the eyes.
lipstick or lip gloss: Go with loud and vibrant colours. If you prefer light and subtle colours, try to match it with a dark lip liner. It’ll give your lips a fuller look. lip gloss is a must to save your lips from dryness in the coming season.
