Manushi Chhillar’s shimmery monochrome look on the cover of Femina
Manushi Chhillar recently sizzled on the cover of Femina and we loved her summer-perfect makeup look and hair. Loosely styled wavy hair and subtle, glittery eyes with mauve-brown lips may not seem like much, but the former Miss World made it speak volumes and scream glamour.
Sweep a shimmery eyeshadow all across the eye lid and along the lower lash line. Dab the same shimmer on the inner corner for highlight. Line your eyes only on the upper lash line and finish with mascara.
Tip: apply a golden or champagne eyeshadow just below the brow bone for an instant face lift.
Loosely styled, wavy hair is just perfect for summer and gives I-woke-up-like-this vibes. You don’t have to run to the salon to get the waves.
Tip: after you wash your hair, air dry it and braid it tightly. Make two braids, much like a school-girl’s. Run a flat iron over the braids. Remove the braids and run your fingers through the hair to get loose wavy beach hair.
When you are aiming to get a monochrome look, you have to be extra careful about creating an even base. Apply foundation, concealer and then use a darker shade of foundation or concealer to trace a shape ‘3’ starting at your temples, going just below your cheekbones and then ending beneath your jawline.
Tip: this trick of contouring can help if you have a long face and want to balance the dimensions of your face. Just take the contouring close to the hair line on your forehead.
Perpetually has OCD. Obsessive contouring disorder. Her idea of dressing to walk the dog includes cleanse-tone-moisturise-serum-primer-sunscreen-concealer-foundation-contour-powder-highlighter-bronzer-eyebrows-eyes. (Catches breath) She loves perfectly constructed sentences as much as she loves perfectly blended contours. Enough said.
