If you’re searching for a consistent source of beauty inspiration, look no further than Khushi Kapoor’s Instagram. Recently, she posted a look created by makeup artist Riddhima Sharma that featured flawless, dewy skin, full brows and long, defined lashes (all recurring elements in Kapoor’s makeup looks). The minimal look is definitely one to master if you like to keep your makeup simple but also enjoy your fair share of glow. Acing the base is key—choose a foundation with buildable coverage and apply a little at a time to avoid going overboard. Another tip: keep a hydrating mist handy at all times and give your makeup a quick spritz every now and then to keep it looking fresh. Interested in trying your hand at Kapoor’s whole look?

- First, prep your skin with a moisturising face primer. Then, with a flat foundation brush, apply a light layer of a velvet-finish liquid foundation like the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation. Add another thin layer around your nose, chin or any areas that may require more coverage. Dab a creamy concealer under your eyes to brighten shadows.
- For fluffy, glossy brows like Kapoor’s, use a brow pencil to fill gaps and define the brows. Then, brush and coat them with a clear gel like the BBB London Clear Brow Gloss to hold them in place and add a bit of shine.
- Warm up a creamy highlighter like the Benefit Cosmetics Watt's Up! Cream Highlighter on the tips of your fingers and lightly pat the product on the high points of your face for extra glow. Then, set the makeup on the centre on the forehead, around the nose and chin with a translucent powder.
- To copy the minimal sheen on Kapoor’s eyelids, you could apply the same cream highlighter on your lids with your fingers. Or, dab a drop of eye gloss like the Morphe 2 Gloss Pop Face & Eye Gloss all over the lids. Then, curl your lashes and apply two coats of a lengthening mascara like the NYX Professional Makeup Doll Eye Mascara on the top and bottom lashes. To ensure your glossy eyelid doesn’t smudge your mascara (it can be a smudge-magnet), choose a waterproof formula.
- Gently exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub (or even a soft bristle toothbrush will do the job) to get rid of any dry patches. When your lips are prepped and smooth, apply a few layers of a creamy lip tint like the Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint in Bare Pink for rosy, balmy lips.
