VJ Anusha is a fashion, makeup and lifestyle influencer. But that’s not the only things she’s known for. Anusha’s gorgeous skin, which she loves flaunting on Instagram, is simply breathtaking. She’s one of the few celebrities who is often spotted without makeup or in minimal makeup looks that highlight her best features.
And since minimal makeup is all the rage in 2021, we decided to turn to birthday girl Anusha Dandekar for lessons on minimal makeup. Here’s what we learned….
- 01. Ditch the nude and embrace pink
- 02. Look wide awake with a coat of mascara
- 03. Get glowing
- 04. Use lipstick as eyeshadow
- 05. Wear shimmer eyeshadow like it's NBD
01. Ditch the nude and embrace pink
Nude lipsticks are the ultimate minimal makeup staple, but when you decide to go bare-faced like Anusha, a warm pink lipstick is the way to go. Gorgeous long locks and a pink pout is a lethal combination and perfect for a day look.

02. Look wide awake with a coat of mascara
A bare face can sometimes make you look like you’ve overslept or not slept at all. An easy way to look wide awake is by applying a few coats of mascara to your lashes like Anusha. Pair it with your favourite nude lipstick or lip balm, and you’re good to go.
BB picks: Lakme Eyeconic Curling Mascara
03. Get glowing
Another way to embrace minimal makeup is by investing in a good highlighter. It can completely change your makeup game and highlight your best features. We love how Anusha looks like a glowing goddess with a nude lipstick, mascara and lots of highlighter.
BB picks: Lakme Absolute Highlighter - Moon-Lit
04. Use lipstick as eyeshadow
Whether you decide to go bare face or apply light base makeup, here’s a minimal makeup trick from Anusha that will give you the perfect no-makeup makeup look. Simply use your favourite nude lipstick and dab a little bit of it on your eyelids for a subtle monochrome makeup look!
BB picks: Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Matte Mousse Lip & Cheek Color - Nude Cushion
05. Wear shimmer eyeshadow like it's NBD
You’re allowed to go a little OTT once in a while, even if minimal makeup is your new style. Take cues from Anusha and dab a little bit of shimmer eyeshadow on the inner corner of your eyes to elevate the look in seconds.
