Holi doesn’t always have to mean oiled-up buns and makeup-free skin. Since I’m celebrating indoors with my friends, I’ve decided not to hold back in terms of my glamm. I’m ditching my barely-there approach for some bright pops of colour.
I’m talking about the dopamine-makeup trend. My favs have already jumped in on the bandwagon, and I’m ready to follow their lead.
What Is Dopamine Makeup?
Dopamine is a feel-good hormone that can enhance and lift your mood. Just like affirmations and acts of self-care, colours, particularly a bright colour-palette, can stimulate this hormone too. This trend follows the same logic. It involves embracing the reds, pinks, and blues. This is me, reclaiming colours after a year-long affair with the clean-girl trend.
Katrina Kaif’s Baby Blue Eyes
Kat’s greenish-blue eyeshadow was electrifying. The actress just applied it around the inner-corners of the eyes, and that was all she needed to make a statement.
The Ultime Pro Eyeshadow Palette in Make em Envy 05 has the prettiest hues of green and blue that you can mix and match to replicate the look.
Sonakshi Sinha’s Rosy Red Smoke Show
Sonakshi’s fiery-red eyeshadow is bright, hot, and sultry. Don’t forget to create cat-eye flicks on both lids to conclude the look. You can use the Nicka K Nine Color Eyeshadow Palette in Poison Apple to recreate the look.
Sonam Kapoor’s Yummy Yellow Lids
Sonam dabbed a pop of yellow on the centre of the lids and blended it outward. Don’t shy away from the brightness of the colour. Like Kapoor, balance it out with a soft pink lip colour and blush.
The Huda Beauty Wild Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette in Python features the poppiest hue of yellow that looks just like Sonam’s shade.
Disha Patani’s Purple Paradise Liner
Disha’s purple eyeliner floated around her eyes. Patani even added some rhinestones around the borders of the wing to further glamourise the look.

That’s it. I’m not holding back this time.
