Remember how Maheep, Bhavna, Seema, and Neelam reacted to Gauri Khan sashaying down the halls of her house in the second season of Fabulous Lives Of Bollywood Wives? Clad in a power-suit, and prepping for a shoot with the ladies, she set the sets ablaze. I recall Maheep saying, “When I say she’s a queen, I’m not saying it frivolously.” Truer words haven’t been spoken. Gauri extends this status to her makeup as well — as evidenced by her high-shine, boss-babe look on Koffee With Karan. BRB, gotta re-watch the episode. Until then — a step-by-step breakdown of her beauty look.
Understated Yet Statement Making — That’s Gauri Khan For You
#1: Glaze The Base
This look is dewy and luminous. To capture the aesthetic, laying the groundwork is important. Prep with skincare — double-cleanse your face, and rehydrate your skin with a moisturiser. You can mix your foundation with a little more moisturiser to further play into the dewiness of the look. Go over patches and pigmentation with some concealer; but don’t overload the skin with too much product. Minimal is the way to go.
#2: Pep Up The Peppers
Prime the eyes, and set the base with a brown shade. Drench your brows in dollops of mascara. You can opt for a set of falsies too for some snazz.
#3: Brush The Brows
Brush your brows sideways with a spoolie, and accentuate the arch of the brow with an eyebrow-pencil. Notice how Gauri’s brows are lifted and defined. Go on to fill the brows in, and tame the hair with an eyebrow-gel.
#4: Light It Up
This look isn’t as focused on blush as it is on highlighter. Douse your cheeks in a warm-toned brown, and layer it up with a liquid-based highlighter. Highlight the temples, jawline, nose, and cupid’s bow while you’re at it.
#5: Dip The Lip
Drench your lips in a matte-textured brown, and you’re done.
I don’t know about you but I loved how understated this look was.
