Having a hard time deciding what makeup look you should try on next? Read this article to take inspiration from top celebrity makeup looks!
Makeup is not an easy job for everyone. Even if you master the skills after years of practice and finally learn all the names of the products and procedures, you still run out of ideas from time to time. There are so many things to consider, and it’s absolutely fine to get overwhelmed and confused. Even professional makeup artists run out of inspiration. And the easiest source of inspiration is celebrity makeup looks. What are our favourite celebs wearing, how are the stylists styling them, and how are they doing their makeup – these all can help you get your perfect look for any occasion. Let’s jump right into eight of our top picks from celebrity makeup looks that you can try at home and ace.
Kohl Rimmed Eyes
Kohl rimmed eyes are perfect for accentuating your big beautiful eyes. We Indian women are blessed with big eyes, and traditionally Kohl has been our top beauty product forever. So if you’re after the classic statement eye makeup look, just like actress Alia Bhatt in the movie Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, a thick and water-proof kajal will be your go-to makeup staple.
Tips: Keep your lips nude and cheeks light, let your eyes do all the talking.
Sultry Smokey Eyes
Another classic makeup look is smokey eye makeup. Tested and trusted for evening events, smokey eye makeup is effortlessly sexy, and adds just the right amount of drama to your face. Celebrity makeup stylists swore by smokey eyes to effortlessly make them look gorgeous without overpowering their outfits. Take a look at actress Zendaya in a Bvlgari event with her sultry smokey eyes.
Tips: Go for shimmery skin with nude colours to match the night glam.
Fresh Dewy Makeup
Multicoloured, dual-toned makeups make a round through seasons, but the classic monotone natural look hasn’t gone anywhere. The fresh out-of-shower skin with flushed cheeks and soft pink lips is a favourite on celebrities’ Instagram. The best thing is that this natural-looking makeup trend is being flaunted on the red carpet now too, like actress Aditi Rao Hydari on the Cannes red carpet.
Tips: Skip the eyeliners and keep your eyes natural with long natural lashes.
Red Pouty Lips
Red lips for the win! This old Hollywood glam look is a classic and celebs also love it. It’s glamorous, flirty, feminine. Whether it’s a brunch or a dinner, if done correctly then red lips can make any outfit look better. There’s a shade of red for everyone, find yours today. Take a note from model Gigi Hadid’s recent appearance at the Met Gala, where her fiery red lips complimented her vintage glam.
Tips: Avoid heavy or colourful eye makeup, go with sleek clean eyes instead.
Double Winged Eyeliner
If you have mastered applying matching eyeliners on both eyes, we have a new task for you. Celebs are flaunting double-winged eyeliners and they look amazing. Don’t let your long wing eyelids get lonely, add a smaller one under it, or over it. This makeup trick can make your simplest makeup look bold and dramatic, just like actress Deepika Padukone.
Tips: Experiment with the liner, go classic and elegant with black, or add quirkiness with colours.
Nude Glossy Lips
Juicy, glossy lips are always a summer favourite. Especially if you are a Y2K girl, high-shine lip glosses are probably always in your purse. Get over the soft matte lip trend of last year and wear tinted lip gloss or oil to finish your effortless makeup. It’s a favourite of model Hailey Beiber, whose Instagram is filled with glowy skin and tinted juicy lips.
Tips: Best choice for your everyday natural makeup look, with a touch of pink on the cheeks.
Emerald Green Eyes
Fan of a big bold drama on your eyelids? Get gorgeous jewel-toned eyelids like actress Kriti Sanon. The emerald green colour on your eyes makes your look a perfect combination of classy and edgy. It’s just on the line between classic and quirky, giving you the best of both worlds. You can try this artistic look with both evening formals as well as day casuals.
Tips: Use primer on your eyelids to avoid any crease in the liner and shadow.
Greige Lip Shade
Grey+Beige = Greige. The latest colour trend in makeup is taking over celebrity red-carpet looks. Our celebs love this shade because of the subtle edginess it gives without much effort. The greyish lipstick offers a contrast to your typical warm summer colour palette and adds an overall edge. Like singer Lana Del Rey, you can also try a soft goth look with greige lips.
Tips: Pair it with nude lipstick and a slightly grey lip pencil for more defined lips.
Now that you have learnt the makeup tricks of our favourite divas, it’s your turn to try and ace these celebrity makeup looks for your next big event. Or on a regular day, you can do makeup anytime. Glam it up!
