DP’s Beauty Look Will Help You Make A Show-Stopping Statement This Festive Season
Step 1: The Prep Step
Acing the base is key to get the look right. First, prep your skin with a glow-boosting primer. Then, buff a little layer of an illuminating serum-infused primer to retain max glow. Make sure you don’t forget the neck area. Use a damp sponge to get a flawless finish. Dot and blend concealer under the eyes and on any scars or blemishes you wish to cover.
Step 2: For Statement Brows Like Deepika
Fill in any gaps in the brows with your eyebrow pencil and brush them in place with a spoolie. If you’re blessed with fuller eyebrows, you can just use a brow gel to set it in place.
Step 3: To Ace Those Kohl-Rimmed Eyes
Prime your eyelids with primer to set the rest of the eye makeup products up for success. Next, choose a neutral eyeshadow in a medium to light brown shade, and apply it all over your lids, crease, and along the lower lash line. Blend the edges using a clean fluffy blending brush. Then, use a chocolate pencil kohl to tightline the eyes and swipe it along the upper and lower lash line as well as the water line. Grab a clean pencil brush to smudge the kohl. You can take a dark brown shade on the pencil brush to intensify the definition. Next, curl your lashes and coat them in mascara.
Step 4: Soft Contouring FTW!
Take a cool-toned brown powder and use an angled brush to contour your face. Apply it along the hollows under your cheekbones, then flip the brush over and use the clean side to blend away the harsh edges to ace a modern-looking contour.
Step 5: For The Pretty Flush
Blend a peachy powder blush on the apple of your cheeks, directed towards your temples. Then, use a highlighting powder on the high points of your face.
Step 6: Perfect That Pout
To ace the look, all you need is a peachy nude lip liner to outline the lips. Then, use a lip gloss in the same hue to get the look.
