1. Have fun with quirky colours
Let the overworked millennials worry about putting together no-makeup makeup looks! Playing around with quirky colours in your makeup can bring out the best in your outfits. Adding fun colours to your makeup collection also comes in handy while creating a variety of eye looks — a new one for every single one of the cropped tops in your wardrobe.
2. Accessorising never hurt anybody
No matter what your hair length or style, you can always add some accessories to the mix! Some of Ananya’s major hair moments consist of accented ponytails, silver ringlets, rubber band hairstyles and fancy-schmancy headbands. We suggest you invest your allowance on accessories rather than pricey hair styling gels and creams — you will get more for your dough that way!
3. Let your skin show under the makeup
Do not cake layers of foundation on your face — stick to sheer formulas so that your skin can show from underneath the makeup. Stock up on colour correctors and concealers to cover up visible imperfections and save full coverage foundations for special occasions.
4. Elevate the basics
You do not have to shell out on elaborate eyeshadows or pigmented contour palettes to turn up the drama of your makeup looks. Upgrade the basics — swap your black kajal pencil with coloured kohls or matte lippies with lip glosses to switch up your look.
5. Add your unique spin on popular trends
Gen Z is single-handedly responsible for coming up with the best TikTok and Instagram hair trends we have seen this year. However, don't just blindly follow trends, add your own unique twist to it. Ananya let out some face-framing tendrils with her space buns — making the trend her own in a unique way.
