5 Style tips and hacks to be party ready this Diwali
- Opt for Statement Accessories
Upgrade your Diwali outfit with statement jewellery and accessories. Big jhumka and stud earrings, chokers, layered necklaces, and bangles can elevate a simple traditional outfit into a show stopping one.
- Illuminate the face
For that gorgeous face glow on a budget, try dabbing an illuminating cream on the face, just before you apply foundation and blend well. When you are done with the makeup, the skin will start glowing from the inside out.
- For A Healthy Blush On The Cheeks
The blush is usually left for the last moment to get a rosy healthy glow. But did you know that you could actually make the skin glow nicer if you first apply the blush and then the foundation? Repeat the blush again at the end and set it with translucent powder; this will help enrich the cute Diwali outfit you wear.
- Apply A Little Shimmer Under The Eyes
A little shimmer under the eyes goes a long way. This technique would make the eyes look nice and bright, and big too. Use an angular brush to blend the shimmer under the eyes and to make the eyes glow.
- A Little Brown Eye Shadow For The Brows
For a defined set of brows, use a little brown eye shadow in matte tones. This wouldn’t make the eyebrows look stark and harsh and it would match up to the look you choose for Diwali.
