Best beauty Instagrams of the week: Ananya Panday and Athiya Shetty

This week, stars like Kriti Sanon and Athiya Shetty made it clear that a little clever contouring or a new lip colour can really elevate your look 

Makeup can be transformative for your look and your mood, and this week, celebrities made it clear that a swipe of lipstick or a daub of blush could totally make or break it. Scroll down to see some of our favourite pretty and feminine beauty picks.

Shanaya Kapoor and Kriti Sanon prove that there's nothing like a swipe of bold lipstick

Even if there's no other makeup you still want to wear, keep a tube of your favourite lipstick on hand to zhush things up and improve your mood at the same time. Take cues from Shanaya Kapoor, who wore a bold red matte lip to match her party dress. She kept the rest of her makeup pretty minimal (save for a little kajal around the eye) and left her hair in a tousled blow dry. Kriti Sanon shared a photo of herself while on set, wearing a burgundy lipstick and almost nothing else. Sushmita Sen celebrated her award wins by applying a matte pink onto her lips, while Sonakshi Sinha took a similar hue out with her while she went for a walk.

Athiya Shetty and Ananya Panday add definition to their base makeup

Athiya Shetty proves that you don't have to make time for a full-on contouring job to really bring out your cheekbones. Instead, the actor added warmth to her skin by applying a malleable, super creamy blush in a draping technique across her cheeks. The end result? A fresh diffused approach that looks like second skin. Ananya Panday went the same route but used a warmer copper shade on her lids, cheekbones and lips to tie things together. Just a touch of highlighter on the highest points accented her natural bone structure perfectly. Mira Rajput Kapoor attended a wedding and dialled up her beauty look by adding bronzer into the hollows of her cheeks, which added shape and sun-kissed finish. Ahead, take a look through some of the best beauty looks served up by your favourite celebrities.
