Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been an international beauty icon for well over a decade now, but she’s clearly not done marking milestones in her career graph yet. A global ambassador for L’Oréal Paris for more than 15 years, the actor was recently announced as the face of the brand’s festive makeup collaboration with Sabyasachi Mukherjee, and was seen channelling a simple but sharp beauty look throughout the campaign—clean, black eyeliner with a swipe of a bold lip colour. For the launch of the collection too, she chose the same look, wearing it with a black dress by the couturier. The man behind Rai Bachchan’s makeup was none other than her go-to (and one of the country’s best) makeup artist, Mickey Contractor, while her hair was styled to perfection by Marianna Mukuchyan. Here’s how you can recreate the star’s fuss-free festive makeup look now.

To recreate Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s makeup, prep your skin with a brightening and moisturising face mask—you can use the Clarins Beauty Flash Balm as a 10-minute mask, or apply it in a thin layer to leave on as primer. Then, use a mattifying foundation like the Natasha Denona Transformatte Pore Vanishing Matte Foundation to get a poreless, blur finish. Give your face a soft contour around the forehead, under your cheekbones and along your jaw line for a naturally defined look—try the Nudestix Nudies Tinted Blur Stick in a hue that is two shades darker than your skin tone. Then, dust a cool-toned brown eyeshadow on your upper eyelid for a hint of colour, pick a black liquid liner like the Faces Beyond Black Eye Liner and draw a neat line from the inner corner of your eyes to the outermost edges. Coat your lashes with a lengthening mascara and fill your pout with a classic red lipstick like the L’Oréal Paris Color Riche Moist Matte Lipstick Sabyasachi Collection in Pure Rouge to complete your festive makeup look.
