She’s the first Indian to win the Miss Supranational pageant and will soon appear on the silver screen alongside Janhvi Kapoor and debutant Laksh Lalwani in the upcoming Bollywood rom-com Dostana 2. Yes, we’re talking about the stunning Asha Bhat.
The beauty is known for her striking good looks, impressive acting chops, and flawless makeup looks. A cursory scroll through Asha Bhat's Instagram, and you'll immediately be met with desi looks, each one better than the other. And since her birthday is so close to the festive season, what better way to celebrate than to list down our favourite traditional makeup looks by the actress?
Ahead, we're listing down our favourite traditional makeup looks by Asha Bhat. Take notes!
01. Basic browns

When in doubt, do what Asha Bhat does — turn to neutrals! A minimal, contoured base with a thin stroke of eyeliner, brown eyeshadow, and matte brown lipstick can add just the right flair to a simple desi outfit.

02. Glammed up

Even if it's a small family gathering, don't let it deter you from becoming the star of the show! Take notes from Asha Bhat's red carpet look, and bring in the fireworks with kohl-rimmed, eyeliner-heavy eyes, a contoured, glowing base, and of course, some trusty old blush.

03. Muted and minimal

If you're someone who wants to stay away from heavy makeup, don't you worry because we've got an Asha Bhat look to match up. Keep the lids bare, and use a simple, dewy CC cream as a base to even out the skin tone. Finish the look with a bright pink lip, and you're good to go.

04. Old world charm

There's nothing wrong with going a little old school when prepping for festivities — in fact, your fam might just go gaga over it. Let Asha Bhat be your inspiration for this one. With a perfect winged eyeliner and a touch of shimmer on the cheeks for that oh-so-subtle glow, she's got this look nailed down. And how could we ever forget the perfect red lip to go with it?

05. Just peachy

An all peach makeup look, even if it doesn't match your outfit? Trust Asha Bhat to pull it off! To make it your own, use pink eyeshadow colours on your lids, and top it off with a little bit of eyeliner. Use matching peachy shades for the apples of your cheek, and finish the look with warm-toned pink lipstick. And that's it!
