It’s officially that time of the year when you can go all out. Yep ladies, the festive season has begun knocking on our doors and we’re more than ecstatic to welcome it with open arms. With celebrations one after another, we’ve got multiple excuses to deck ourselves up in the most striking and dazzling outfits of the season. And with glitzy outfits, comes along glitzy makeup. Yes yes, we’re aware that minimalistic and soft makeup is having its moment in the limelight. However, don’t you think so some shiny, over-the-top makeup deserves the limelight too? Cue, festive makeup!
Well, I don’t know about you, but I often find myself in an endless loop of stalking my favourite celebrities on Instagram, just so I can get some makeup inspo. I mean, who better to give us makeup inspo than them? Creating the ultimate festive makeup look could seem like a daunting task, but fret no mo!
Here’s some sizzling beauty inspo right in time for the festive season, brought to you by our stunning B-Town divas!
Kohl It Stunning

Glowing Glam
Festive season automatically means amping up your glow quotient in ever way possible. After-all when else are you going to get the chance to channel your inner glowing goddess. Take some cues from the stunning Janhvi Kapoor, as she goes all out with the glow. Some shimmering pink eyeshadow on the lids and a cream highlighter to make those cheekbones pop is all you need!
Statement Eyes
Alright, let’s be real. No makes a makeup statement better than Deepika Padukone. She never shies away from exploring and having fun with all things makeup, and that’s one of the many reasons why we adore her. This sultry, statement eye makeup look is the intense version of a classic smokey eye. Wanna be the centre of all attention? Go in with the smoke and leave everyone breathless!
Brown Drama
Is there any makeup look Kiara Advani can’t master? She’s channelling the classic ethnic vibe with those bushy brows and brown-hued eyes. If you’re someone who doesn’t like experimenting with makeup too much, let brown come to your rescue. Don’t forget to sculpt your cheeks as Kiara has. Pair it with a nude lip, and you’re ready to go.

Coral Touch
The credit for Dolphin Skin being all over our feeds should be given to Tamannaah Bhatia. She never misses a chance to flaunt some of that ethereal glow. However, here she’s seen sporting a monochrome makeup look with one of the most versatile hues ever— Coral!The perfect shade of orange that will definitely add that festive oomph to your look. Go over your eyelids with some light coral eyeshadow, pair it with a cream coral blush and a glossy coral lip.
Red Hot
Um, does anything make heads turn at a party like a striking, red lip does? We think not! Aditi Rao-Hydari is a massive fan of subdued makeup, and why shouldn’t she be? She carries it oh-so-gracefully! However, she’s often seen pairing her subdued makeup with a bold lip, and here we see a stunning red. Red is definitely the colour of this season, so if you happen to be walking down the soft makeup path, choose a bold red lip and watch everyone’s jaws drop in awe.
