Shanaya Kapoor, the 21-year-old daughter of actor Sanjay Kapoor and Maheep Kapoor, will soon be making her big Bollywood debut. However, the upcoming actress has already managed to amass a considerable following on social media. Her feed is filled with a fun mix of bold and soft everyday makeup looks that can be easily recreated and worn all year round.
Ahead, five makeup tips we picked up from Shanaya Kapoor.
- 1. Soft strobing for a sculpted look
- 2. Sassy wings over regular eyeliner
- 3. Old school glam is always in vogue
- 4. When it doubt, sport a pink pout
- 5. There’s no such thing as too much glow
1. Soft strobing for a sculpted look
Strobing is a sure shot way to sculpt and define your face. Shanaya Kapoor shows us how to do it right. With her chiselled cheeks perfectly done with a mix of shimmer blush and an illuminating highlighter — she looks absolutely stunning. We love how she’s kept the rest of her makeup minimal and swept on a glossy lipstick to complete the look.
2. Sassy wings over regular eyeliner

Take cues from Shanaya Kapoor and ditch your regular eyeliner for this sassy wing eyeliner. It’s perfect for when you’re looking to play up your eyes without looking too OTT. We love how the inner corner highlight adds more oomph to the overall look.
3. Old school glam is always in vogue
Shanaya Kapoor gives us major retro vibes in this glam look. We love the overly defined lips and smokey wing eyeliner that take the look several notches higher. It’s the perfect look for a date night with bae or your girl pals.
4. When it doubt, sport a pink pout
When you cannot figure out what lip shade to go for — take a cue from Shanaya and opt for a pretty pink lipstick. It’s not muted like a nude and not OTT like a red — it sits perfectly in-between. Be it a no-makeup makeup or a full-on glam look, pink lips are always a good idea.
5. There’s no such thing as too much glow
We are obsessed with how effortlessly Shanaya Kapoor pulled off this dewy makeup look. This look is high on shine, and we love how Shanaya hasn’t shied away from dabbing some gloss on her lips to tie the look together. The trick to pulling off the dewy look without looking oily is to use a liquid highlighter and apply it only on the high points of your face.
