From pretty pastel eyeshadows to summer soaked skin with a golden glow, discover the best beauty inspirations from Lakme Fashion Week. Twenty-five years ago, India's leading cosmetics brand Lakme joined forces with Fashion Design Council of India (FDCI) with the vision to collaborate and co-create an event that empowered fashion designers in the country. As India's premier fashion event that has been bringing together the best artists across the country since the last twenty-five years now, Lakme Fashion Week continues to redefine the future of fashion in India. Not to take away from the brilliance of fashion designers who are now global identities and acclaimed design houses, this is where it all started. Over the course of the last four days of fashion that packed the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai with the best creative brains in the country, we've rounded up every iconic beauty look that surfaced at this centre of action.
01Rockstar Chic at AK-OK Anamika Khanna
I still cannot stop obsessing over Ananya Panday's showstopper look. Her eyes lightening up with smudged blue kohl and lots of mascara, were the elements that pulled the entire look together. From her flawless skin, perfected further with Lakme 9to5 HyaMatte Foundation and nude lips that allowed her eyes to own the spotlight, with Lakme Hya Matte Liquid Lipstick in the shade Vacation Nude , she served the absolute dramatic and cool vibe on the runway. Deep nourishment and hydration are key to achieving a runway ready look. In addition to using skin quenching makeup, prep your skin well with a skin care routine that focuses on that skin plumping hydration.
02Romantic Pastels at Eka
Romanticising life in relaxed silhouettes, keeping it easy like a Sunday morning with soft and rosy makeup to match this cottage core aesthetic, Eka reminds us to float through time in pastel eyeshadow. From ice blue and soft pink to lilac – create any look you love with Lakme Glitterati Chroma Chic Eye Shadow Palette.
03Effortlessly Sultry at Falguni Shane Peacock
It wasn't just Tamannaah Bhatia's bejewelled corset that drew all eyeballs in. Maximalist fashion was balanced with minimalist beauty looks on the runway this season. Her soft smoked glam eyes and a perfectly nude lip shade became the quintessential casual glamour style.
04Colourplay at Lakmē Salon x Satya Paul presents Alchemy
Liquid matte lipsticks, bold liners and versatile cuts and hair colours that let you seamlessly transition from day to night, Lakme Salon x Satya Paul presents Alchemy unleashes fearless spirits onto the runway. The soft glossy waves, whether let down or tied back – self-expression at its best is possibly the most iconic beauty look of any season.
05Sunkissed & Effortless at Saaksha & Kinni
As we enter summer's sweltering heat, fortifying skin barriers and applying sunblock become primary concerns. At Saaksha & Kinni, velvet skin reigned supreme and luminous skin sealed the deal. No, I'm not just talking about Ishaan Khatter's swoon worthy show stopping moment alone. However, the travel friend sunscreen stick is clever.

06Sexy & Bold at ASOS ‘A Summer of Style’
When Tara Sutaria walked the runway for ASOS 'A Summer of Style', she stunned in more ways than one. The sleek straight hair, siren eyes and an all-black ensemble was sexy and bold to say the least. The trick to silky, straight hair that is also heatless and less damaging on your strands is trying the new Tresemme Silk Press Range. Promising 100+ hours of silk pressed perfection without using your styling tools, it's ideal for everyday when heat styling is simply time consuming and you still want frizz free, sleek hair.
