Sonakshi Sinha is easily one of the most experimental actresses when it comes to her beauty game. Just like most of us, you’d seldom catch the actress not wearing her trusted eyeliner. While this pretty actress prefers subtle, no-makeup-makeup looks on screen, her personal style is a lot more dramatic and edgy.
Sonakshi, who is the jury on a reality show, recently revealed a super sassy makeup look that has us all drooling. From futuristic eyeliner to a dramatic rope braid, there is nothing about the look that we don’t love to bits. This is why we couldn’t waste time in decoding this gaw-juss look so that you can recreate it too!
Bas(e)ics matte-r!
Despite all the rage around dewy skin, Sonakshi is one actress who still prefers a matte base over a dewy one. To achieve a similar look, start by using a primer and then applying the Lakmé Absolute Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse 16hr using a beauty sponge. Hide any added imperfections using the Lakmé Absolute White Intense Concealer Stick SPF 20 and blend well for a smooth base.
Contour game on point
We are absolutely in love with Sonakshi’s contour game. It is giving her entire face a super chiselled and sculpted appearance. Start by contouring your face using the Kareena Kapoor Khan Lakmé Absolute Cheek Contour in Rose Gold under your cheekbones, along your jawline, on your temples as well as on the sides of your nose. Using the highlighting shade from the Lakmé Absolute Highlighter - Moon-Lit palette, apply it to the high points of your face. Sweep a little bit of the Lakmé 9 to 5 Pure Rouge Blusher - Ginger Surprise on the apples of your cheeks for a pop of colour.
Dramatic eyeliner, FTW
Sonakshi’s eye makeup is hands down, the highlight of this entire look. This graphic eyeliner, also known as the negative space eyeliner, is definitely not for the faint-hearted. For a similar eye makeup look, start by sweeping a little bit of the pink shade from the Lakmé Absolute Illuminating Eye Shadow Palette - Royal Persia all over lid. Just grab the Lakmé Eyeconic Liner Pen Block Tip – Black and draw a broad ‘V’ at the outer edge of the eye. Use the Lakmé Absolute Kohl Ultimate Kajal on your waterline and smudge it using the attached smudger.
Subtle and soft lips
Complementing the dramatic eye makeup, Sonakshi has kept her lip makeup extremely subtle by wearing just a pretty mauve hue. To achieve a similar look, start by lining your lips with the Lakmé Kareena Kapoor Khan Absolute Lip Definer - Salmon and then swiping two coats of Lakmé Absolute Matte Melt Liquid Lip Color - Rose Love.
Big hair don’t care!
This article would be utterly incomplete without a special mention of that stunning hairdo. Here’s an easy tutorial on how to achieve this glamorous rope braid hairstyle. Remember to finish this look with oodles of TONI&GUY Glamour Moisturising Shine Spray to keep those annoying flyaways in check!
