In our previous post, we gave you some ideas for Diwali makeup and hair styles. Here are some more ideas for a chic Diwali look.
Makeup idea 2: Hot lips
Reds, plums, rich coloured lips are in vogue right now. Try Lancome’s lipsticks for red-hot lips.
Speaking Chic tip: With lips the focus of your face, keeping the rest of the makeup to a bare minimum.
Makeup idea 3: Rainbow eyes
Confused what colour eye shadow to use: purple, cream or green? Use all three! I tried this idea last weekend, and the results were striking. It’s a bit tricky to pull off this look, but with the right choice of colour and a steady hand, you can rock it! (FYI: I got this idea from Lakme’s Gypsy collection.)
Speaking Chic tip: Choose eye shadow colours carefully. Rule of thumb: use one colour to match your outfit, one neutral, and a third that will blend well soften your look.
Hair idea 2: Sleek & chic
My meeting with TIGI’s Akos Bodi and the recent catwalk shows convinced me that sleek hair is tres chic this season. If you have straight hair like I do, you don’t need to use a straightener. Apply a heat-activated straightening product to wet hair, and blow dry your hair.
Speaking Chic tip: Tie a tight ponytail to sleek hair, set the style with hair spray, then enjoy the rest of the day with touching your hair again!
