One look at birthday girl Aditi Rao Hydari and the first thing you’ll notice is her naturally beautiful and glowing skin. She’s one actress who prefers wearing less makeup, and when she does, she mostly always opts for her statement no-makeup makeup look.
Aditi is a pro at acing the no-makeup makeup look and often does a thing or two to amp up the look depending on the occasion. On her birthday today, we’ve collated five ways to amp up no-makeup makeup look ft. the stunner.
- 1. Try different shades of nudes
- 2. Define your brows
- 3. Skip eyeliner, but not mascara
- 4. Blushadow is the way to go
- 5. Line the outer half of your eye
1. Try different shades of nudes

Nude lipsticks don’t always have to be basic. Take a cue from Aditi and try a deeper shade with red undertones to switch things up. We love how this brick red shade complements her outfit without looking too stark or bold.
BB picks: Lakme Forever Matte Liquid Lip Color - Nude Dream
2. Define your brows

Whether you follow an elaborate makeup routine or like to keep things simple — never forget to define your brows. We love how well-defined brows enhance your facial features and add definition, tying the whole look together.
BB picks: Lakme Absolute Micro Brow Perfecter - Coffee
3. Skip eyeliner, but not mascara

Aditi is rarely spotted wearing eyeliner, but never without mascara. Her fluttery, voluminous lashes elevate the no-makeup makeup look a step further. Apart from making you look wide awake, two strokes of mascara can make you look great even if you keep the rest of your look subtle.
BB picks: Lakme Eyeconic Curling Mascara
4. Blushadow is the way to go

The actress sure knows how to incorporate makeup trends into her statement look. Sporting the most subtle version of blushadow in this look, Aditi shows how to amp up the no-makeup makeup look effortlessly.
BB picks: Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Blush Duos
5. Line the outer half of your eye

Instead of applying eyeliner on your entire lash line, take cues from Aditi and apply the liner starting from the centre of the lid and flick it out slightly for that sultry winged eyeliner look. Keep the rest of your makeup muted to let your eyes do all the talking.
