For your face: 6 minutes
- First and foremost, wash your face with a face wash that suits all skin-type. .
- Now, moisturize your skin. Gently massage the areas around your eyes and neck.
- Conceal your skin for a flawless look. Go in with your favourite foundation, a good thing would be to use a light weight foundation something like the Maybelline Fit me or L'Oreal mat magique .
- Apply a pink or pink blush. Opt for a neutral shade as it goes well with light as well as bright colored outfits. You could try: Colorbar Pink Pinch Blush OR Rosey Peach blush OR Bronzing Glaze Cheek Illusion Blush.
For your eyes: 7 minutes
- You can never go wrong with a bit of golden on this day. Gold glitter eyes create a dramatic effect which is so needed on a day like this one. We recommend a subtle – gold eye shadow on your upper lids and a bit of a shine with a darker tone, perhaps a matte brown on the outer corners. The Maybelline Nudes Palette is amazing.
- If you are looking to experiment with the liner which you must, then go for baby winged style. It’s quite easy to do and doesn’t take much time. Besides, it accentuates your eyes giving them a lift. Draw a thin line, where the top and bottom lid meets. For thicker version, line the bottom lash-line. You can also opt for a colour (like white and green). This will make your eyes look even bigger. We recommend: L’Oreal Paris Super Liner-24 Hour Water Proof Gel Liner – Black
- Curl your lashes and apply mascara. We recommend: Lakme Lash Artists Mascara & Lakme Curling Mascara Eyeconic
- Put some black kohl on the waterline We recommend: Lakme Absolute Kohl Ultimate.
For your lips: 2 minutes
- Go bright. Try red, coral, brown or peachy pink. Whatever be the color, definitely line your lips with a lighter hue from the chosen lipstick-shade family. Needless to say that you will keep the color of your attire in mind.We recommend: Maybelline Color Sensational Bold Matte Red 688/M.A.C Lickable/M.A.C Plumful
Hands & Nails: Get this done a day prior to Karwa Chauth
- Karwa Chauth is nothing without the tradition of wearing mehndi. You can choose from three main categories of henna designs, Indian, Arabic and African. Each one with its peculiar motifs, e.g. Indian mehndi ranges from simple dots to complex floral designs. Arabic design comprises of super extended shapes (leaves, veins and flowers) which are not filled. Whereas, African mehndi is all about geometrical shapes. Lines, arrows, squares and dots, which are often arranged in an increasing/decreasing pattern.
