Guess who’s giving us summer makeup goals already? None other than the gorgeous Hina Khan. If you’ve been keeping a close watch on Hina’s beauty game, you’d notice that the actress experiments with makeup and hairstyles like a boss. Her latest makeup look is always better than the previous. And, her uber-chic hairstyles keep getting edgier and quirkier.
The diva dropped another bomb look on the gram right in time for summers. The pink hues in her makeup and that bow detailing in her hair are making us drool over her beauty game.
Perfect for a summer brunch, here’s a step-by-step look decode to help you get started.
Face
Step 01: Switch your rich winter creams for a light, hydrating moisturiser before going in with your makeup. We suggest you use the Simple Kind To Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser which is free from baddies and leaves your skin feeling non-greasy and non-sticky; a boon for the summer season.
Step 02: Prep your skin with the Lakmé Absolute Blur Perfect Makeup Primer. This primer helps hide skin imperfections and pores, giving you a smooth matte finish.
Step 03: To create a perfect base, use the Lakmé Absolute White Intense Skin Cover Foundation enriched with Vitamin B3 that nourishes your skin and ensures that your fine lines and pores are concealed. You can skimp on concealer if you don’t want a very heavy-duty base.
Step 04: To add a rosy glow to your cheeks and achieve a subtly highlighted look, we suggest you get your hands on the Lakmé Face Sheer - Desert Rose. This pigmented face sheer is a multi-tasking product that adds a glittery glow to your cheeks.
Step 05: Highlight the high points of your face such as the forehead, chin, bridge of the nose and above your cupid’s bow using the Lakmé Absolute Highlighter - Moon-Lit.
Eyes & Lips
Step 01: Brush your eyebrows upwards and outwards with the help of a spoolie and fill it in with an eyebrow pencil. Reach for the Lakmé Absolute Precision Eye Artist Eyebrow Pencil for defined and evenly filled brows.
Step 02: Since it’s the onset of summer, you don’t want your eye makeup melting sooner than usual. Therefore, prep your lids with an eye primer before going in with any makeup. An eye primer will ensure that your makeup stays put for longer hours.
Step 03: Get your hands on the Lakmé Absolute Kohl Ultimate The Gelato Collection - 04 Candy Floss to create even wings close to your upper lash line.
Step 04: Define your eye makeup with generous coats of mascara. You can use the Lakmé Absolute Flutter Secrets Volumizing Mascara - Black for voluminous lashes.
Step 05: Finish off your summery look with a single swipe of the Elle 18 Color Pops Matte Lip Color - First Love.
Hair
Hina Khan’s chic summery hairstyle deserves a special mention—textured ponytail secured with a grey bow-tie is just too cute to miss.
First, brush your hair to get rid of any tangles. Then, reach for a tong or curling iron and curl all your hair. Don’t forget to curl your front flicks, it’ll add more glamour to your hairstyle. Pull all your hair together into a ponytail. Tug at the hair on your crown for a puffy, voluminous look. Secure your ponytail with a giant bow-tie. Alternatively, you can just use a ribbon and make a bow to complete your cutesy hairstyle. Finish off by spritzing the Toni&Guy Finishing Shine Spray for long-lasting smoothness.
