We’ve been keeping up with the Kapoors for a while now. No, we’re not talking about Kareena and Karisma. We’re not even talking about Sonam and Rhea. Our Insta-feeds have been all about Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor! The sisters have been in the news lately for all the right reasons. They have impeccable taste in fashion, makeup and all things beauty.
The youngest one of the Kapoor clan AKA Khushi Kapoor is celebrating her birthday today. And honestly, I never thought I’d be looking to an 18-year-old girl for hair and makeup inspiration!
Are you wondering why? Well, here are 6 lessons we’ve picked up from Khushi Kapoor!
1. Less is more but brows are bae
We might not always have the time to step out of the house with a full face of makeup, and well, Khushi seldom does. In fact, the bare-faced, minimal makeup trend seems to be something Khushi gravitates towards.

2. Blush and mascara instantly brighten up your face
If you’re in a rush and don’t have time to put on a full face of makeup, use a little bit of blush and mascara brighten up your face in a jiffy. Mascara makes your eyes look bigger, brighter and instantly relieves tired eyes. On the other hand, blush will give you that sun-kissed look.
Here are some affordable blushes and mascaras you should add to your collection.
3. Messy hair and all smiles
We absolutely love how Khushi is not afraid to let loose and have some fun. Her beachy waves are the perfect example of her ‘young, wild and free’ attitude.
Here’s a quick-n-easy beachy-waves tutorial inspired by Jahnvi Kapoor.
4. A little bit of lip gloss never hurt anyone
Khushi has naturally full lips and you know what makes plump lips look better? A hint of lip gloss. Don’t worry, even if you don’t have pillowy lips like Khushi and Janhvi, use a lip liner to fill in and lightly over-line your lips. Fill them in using a lipstick and use a high-shine lip gloss in the centre. This draws light and attention to your lips, making them look fuller and bigger than they are.

5. Don’t leave home without a blinding highlight
A blinding highlight is something Khushi is not afraid to flaunt. If you have clear, radiant skin like Khushi, don’t be afraid to drench yourself in some highlighter. It’s going to make for some really gorgeous Instagram photos. If you have large pores and problematic skin, pick a highlighter that has a sheen without the shimmer.
I’m a total highlighter junkie, it’s one of my absolute favourite makeup products to buy. Among the dozens of highlighters I own, these are 3 of the best highlighters for Indian skin.
6. Swap your Kohl pencil for a nude eyeliner
If you are attending a red carpet function and you want to be at your lady-like best; no eyeliner is the best kind of eyeliner. You could use a white or a nude eyeliner on your waterline. Nude eyeliner is one of those makeup artist secrets that instantly make your eyes look brighter and bigger. Use bronzer in the crease of your eyes for a hassle-free eye makeup look. Straighten your hair and part it down the middle for an elegant yet chic’ hairdo.
Happy birthday Khushi, may your highlighter always be poppin’!
