Eid al-Fitr 2020: All the celebrity-approved makeup looks you can try for the festive day

This weekend marks the third edition of me attending a birthday party from my Macbook screen. For the last one, I went bare-faced, right after my nourishing night routine, so the face oil did all the glow-work. I did put on a lipstick though, a bricky nude to show that I care (I really do). Gentle reminder: your makeup does expire. So use it. Not-so-gentle reminder: staying-in party invitations will continue to pour in. And before you know it, there will be festivals. If you’re planning a big Iftaar feast with your family, now’s the right time to initiate yourself into the world of lockdown makeup. Your face deserves a party too. We picked five innovative looks from Bollywood stars for your starter module—it's playtime. 

Try a graphic eyeliner look like Sonam Kapoor Ahuja

If failed attempts from your past held you back from painting those beautiful cat-eye wings, it’s time you give yourself a second chance. And add a little surprise element to it. Practise makes perfect (wings). Sonam Kapoor Ahuja's playful version couldn’t be for a better time. The little pearl at the tip of your wing is just the touch of glamour your eyes have been craving. Get creative and dig into your bindi stash for fun ways to accessorise that curve.

Work all-over glow like Deepika Padukone

You can make my favourite beauty swap: skincare for makeup. Padukone’s otherworldly glow comes with great prep. Start with a cleansed, thoroughly moisturised face, and add on a face oil to highlight all the high points of your face. Fill in those brows, put on your favourite red lipstick, and hoops. But if, like me, this isn’t enough, dab on an illuminator down the nose, across the cheekbones and on the brow bone. 

Apply glowy makeup like Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma’s dreamy makeup pairs perfectly with a shimmery outfit, so it's the perfect choice if that's the ensemble you've picked for the party. A delicate dusting of a rose-coloured blush on the apples of your cheeks, a dab of tinted lip balm on the lips, and the softest smokey eye you’ll ever have attempted—a few quick steps and you're ready to celebrate. 

Get messy with your braid like Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt’s makeup is a refreshing change if you're looking for something a little boho or minimal: clean matte skin, skinny mascara swipes, a balmy lip and a messy braided hairdo to wrap it all up. Fuss-free and fun, just how we like some of our days to be.

Dabble in a bold lip like Priyanka Chopra

But of course, at the end of the day, it’s essential to take a break from routine. Mix it up—try a bold lip tint like Priyanka Chopra's that'll brighten up your look but stay comfortable on your pout for all the food you'll be enjoying. For a real pop of colour, try a bright eyeliner to switch things up.
