Get it right with the expert
- Start by applying a thick layer of kajal so that you can get a clear shape of the eye before using an angular brush to make the arch.
- Make sure you apply a nude eyeshadow on your lids and don't leave them bare. Contouring eyes with a light brown or dark brown powder works best as you want the liner to be the centre of attention. Avoid shimmery eyeshadows and stick to matte even when it comes to this.
- Dark green or blue are great eyeliner colour options for this style as Indians usually have brown black eyes. For a softer and less dramatic look, go for matte brown. Of course, black works best, but not if you are really fair as that can get a little too jarring.
- If you want the eye make-up to last longer, lock it in using a powdered eyeshadow of the corresponding colour. This also makes the matte more pronounced.
- Don't forget to apply mascara on your eye lashes and fill in and shape your eyebrows.
- Make sure your lips are subtle, as is your skin. Opt for a basic, healthy look.
- Do this on your own only if you have big, almond-shaped eyes. Rope in a professional for smaller eyes.
