On days when you aren’t in the mood for putting on too much makeup or simply want to let your outfit take centre-stage, you can always rely on the no-makeup makeup look. Follow your CTM routine, conceal problem areas like under eyes circles, pigmentation, etc., apply some blush on the apples of your cheeks, apply 2-3 coats of mascara and sweep on a nude lipstick and you’re good to go.
02. Smokey eye and red lip

The smokey and red lip combo is truly a match made in heaven, especially for evening events. The best part about this classic makeup look is that it looks amazing with a shimmery dress or an LBD as it does with traditional Indian outfits. Don’t you agree?
03. Dewy skin

Girls, whenever you are in doubt, remember, dewy skin is always in! And guess what? Recreating this makeup look is easier than you think. Start with properly prepping your skin with a good hydrating moisturiser, mix a few drops of liquid highlighter or illuminator with your and blend with a damp makeup sponge to fake that goddess-like glow.
04. Kohl-rimmed eyes

As Indian women, we are naturally blessed with beautiful big eyes, and kohl-rimmed eyes are the perfect way to accentuate this feature. If you are recreating this statement eye makeup look, then ensure that you keep the rest of your makeup simple to balance it out and allow your eyes to do all the talking!
05. Winged eyeliner

This is one makeup look you can simply never go wrong with. The classic winged eyeliner is such a beautiful way to accentuate your eyes and add instant drama to just about any look. We love this particular look because you can pair it with just about any lip colour and still slay!
