Instagram was quiet this week — relatively. Doesn’t everything feel a little dull post-celebrating back-to-back festivals anyway? Up until last week — most A-listers celebrated Halloween by supplying their millions of followers with envelope-pushing aesthetics, and up until last month — Diwali had B-Town donning some show-stopping above-the-neck creations. But five of our favourites made sure to compensate for all the post-festival inertia, and truly served. Ahead — the display.
5 Note-Worthy Beauty Moments Of The Week
Shraddha Kapoor
Is there anything prettier than a makeup-free Shraddha? The Internet spent days nourishing the behemoth of compliments that was Shraddha’s Instagram after she posted the clip from Thumkeshwari; but there’s something about the Stree actress’ clear-skin brushed-out-brow aesthetic that has us admiring her beauty even more. On that note — let’s congratulate her on her 75M followers. Yay!
Gigi Hadid
Gigi Hadid might have embellished her photo with a veil of black and white — but the updo is enough to do all the talking. Hadid’s slicked-back centre part is pulled into a pretty top knot that sits high on the head like a halo. The ‘do complements the septum nose ring that she’s sporting — making her look badass and chic all at the same time.
Kendall Jenner
Thought the clean-girl aesthetic was going anywhere? Kendall just said no. The 27-year-old supermodel celebrated her birthday with the subtlest flushes of rose on the skin. Notice how the colour flourishes all over the cheeks before trickling down to the lips softly. Love. And the silky-soft cascade of waves framing the face minimally? Stunning.
Malaika Arora
Okay — we’ve no idea what Arora said yes to (check: caption); but our second guess would be that she’s jumping in on the jet-black mani bandwagon. Everyone’s surrendering their lacquers to a splash of jet-black, and it’s a welcome switch-up from all that colour and glitter.
Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian’s never one to say no to a wet-glamm moment. The socialite’s peroxide-bleached mane is slicked back into submission — trickling down the waist glamorously. The aesthetic’s piece de résistance? The monochromatic makeup — from dousing the lids in a glitter-studded purple to drenching the lips in a similar shade, the contour-heavy aesthetic is complemented by brushed-out brows, milky-white nails, and mascara-coated lashes.
Which one of these looks topped the list for you? Spill.
