Independence Day sparks patriotism in almost every Indian yet we've metamorphosed into this global citizen who still loves to embrace their roots every day, and not just on August 15th. When it comes to expressing this feeling, why not elevate your celebration by adding a patriotic twist to your makeup routine? It's all about bold colour play and innovative styles that let you wear your love for the nation right on your eyelids. Whether you're attending a festive gathering or simply want to showcase your love for the nation, these sparkling eye looks will have you turning heads. This year's best beauty looks have been all about embracing unconventional eyeshadow hues. From coloured eyeliners to sparkly smokey eyes and cool-tone shadows, they're all having a major moment in 2024. Don't take my word for it. It was Paris Hilton who created a buzz with blue eyeshadow in the early 00's, and years later the same indigo blue hue remains a makeup trend in 2024. Fashion icon and singer Dua Lipa opted for a retro vibe at the Grammys 2020 with a full white ensemble complemented by blue eyeshadow. And who could forget Emma Chamberlain's dreamy powder blue smokey eye at the Met Gala? Looking closer to home, global icon and Bollywood celebrity Aishwarya Rai Bachchan mastered smouldering blue smokey eyes that made headlines at Cannes 2016. Sara Ali Khan and Disha Patani have both been spotted flaunting daring coloured eyeshadows perfecting their ensembles. More celebrities have experimented with and embraced bright-coloured eyes like Kriti Sanon championing emerald eyes and Ananya Panday with green graphic eyes for the Pinkvilla award earlier this year. As you celebrate freedom and let your eyes talk, why not give your festive look a modern twist this Independence Day? Here's a comprehensive guide to perfecting your look. It's a nod to tradition while keeping it on trend because jewel-toned eyes are here to stay.
