Left On Red
There’s nothing we love more than a red-lip moment. If there’s ever a hall of fame for classic makeup looks, this look donned by Kangana belongs in it. The beauty look is hella-stunning but super easy to create. Just prep your skin with moisturiser and primer. Apply a lightweight foundation and concealer to give your skin an airbrushed finish. Curl your lashes and coat them with a lengthening, volumising mascara. Finish the look by swiping on your fave red lippie. This look gets a 10/10 from us.
