If subtlety was never your strong suit, chances are, you’re always on the lookout for all things bold and loud. Fans of the no-makeup makeup look won’t relate, but there is a rush of excitement when you put on a whacky shade of eyeshadow or do your lips an intense glossy red. Our favourite celebrities are no different because they do step out of their comfort zones from time to time and give us something exciting to gawk at. Here are some of those bold looks that you can create on days when you’re feeling extra brave!
- Deepika Padukone’s inverted kohl
- Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ embellishments
- Diana Penty’s adventures in fuchsia
- Sonam Kapoor Ahuja’s electric blue peepers
- Amyra Dastur’s colour play
Deepika Padukone’s inverted kohl
2019 was the unofficial year of Deepika breaking out of her safety shell and evolving on her approach towards fashion and makeup. The actress served up quite a few eccentric looks that year, one of which was this total knockout at the Cannes Film Festival. It was so statemented that the rest of her face didn’t need any zhooshing up and yet she looked absolutely stunning!

Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ embellishments
PeeCee turned quite a few heads with her MET gala look last year. From the metallic bindi to that afro teased till frizz-heaven, the whole thing was an event. But it was her makeup post the gala for the afterparty that we couldn’t take our eyes off!
Bringing the hair down into an old-Hollywood glam twist-and curl, the colourful eye and embellishments remained. Upgrade your makeup game by dabbling into embellished makeup staples like beads, stick-on glitter and maybe even pop-art stickers!
Diana Penty’s adventures in fuchsia
Diana had a fabulous Cannes debut last year and served up some glamorous makeup looks on the way. Our favourite was this fuchsia themed look that is a dream-come-true for lovers of unconventional hues. We love how the makeup on her lids and lips complements her outfit; now that’s an artistic vision right there!

Sonam Kapoor Ahuja’s electric blue peepers
When it comes to pushing the envelope on how much you can experiment with your look, no one can beat Sonam. Her fashion game is best in the business and the beauty bravado is just catching up. She is moving on to more graphic details and this electric blue eye look is giving us so much life!
Amyra Dastur’s colour play
When was the last time you were brave enough to step out of the house in orange lipstick? Amyra’s colour play with the citrus lips and yellow lids is so easy and fresh. With just a handful of pigmented and coloured products, you too can create a fun summer look!
