Diwali, the festival of lights, is the perfect time to dazzle with radiant makeup that enhances your festive outfits. Whether you’re attending family gatherings or hosting a Diwali party, your makeup should reflect the joy and elegance of the occasion. Here are 5 must-try Diwali makeup looks for 2024 that will help you shine brighter than the fireworks.
1. The Classic Golden Glow
Golden hues never go out of style, especially during Diwali when gold complements the traditional ethnic attire perfectly. Here's how to achieve this look:
- Face: Start with a luminous primer to create a flawless base, followed by a radiant foundation like Lenphor HD Foundation for a dewy finish.
- Eyes: Opt for a shimmery gold eyeshadow with a touch of bronze in the crease. Define your eyes with Lenphor Stare Me Kajal and a flick of the Lenphor Ink It Eyeliner.
- Lips: Balance the glow with a subtle nude lip. Try the Lenphor Colour Me Up Liquid Lipstick in a muted peach or soft beige.
- Highlight: Add a highlighter on the high points of your face (cheekbones, nose, and brow bone) to catch the light and give your skin a radiant glow.
2. Bold Red Lips & Smoky Eyes
For those who love a more dramatic look, pairing bold red lips with smoky eyes is the way to go.
- Face: Keep the foundation matte and use a bit of contour to define your cheekbones.
- Eyes: Go for a classic black or deep brown smoky eye. Blend well to avoid harsh lines. Use Lenphor 9 in 1 Eyeshadow palette for a variety of smoky shades.
- Lips: A bold red lipstick, such as Lenphor Lush Up Matte Lipstick, adds the perfect contrast to the dark eyes. Opt for deep, rich reds that suit the festive mood.
- Finishing Touch: Finish with long lashes using volumizing mascara and don’t forget to set everything with a matte setting spray.
3. Subtle Glam with Soft Pink Lips
If you prefer a more natural and soft glam look, go for soft pink lips and a neutral eye. This look is perfect for daytime celebrations.
- Face: Use a lightweight foundation and concealer to even out your skin tone. A soft blush in pink will add a fresh look to your face.
- Eyes: Use neutral-toned eyeshadows like browns and beiges. A hint of shimmer in the inner corner of the eyes will add dimension.
- Lips: Opt for a pink or peach lipstick. Lenphor Creamy Matte Lipstick in shades like "Rose Pink" or "Peach Blossom" works beautifully with this subtle look.
- Finishing Touch: Keep it soft with a natural brow and add a bit of gloss on the lips for a fresh, dewy finish.
4. Glamorous Winged Liner with Bold Berry Lips
For an ultra-glamorous Diwali look, pair winged eyeliner with bold berry lips. It’s a timeless combo that brings out both elegance and festivity.
- Face: A matte base is key for this look. Use a powder like Lenphor Flawless Matte Compact to set your foundation and keep your skin shine-free.
- Eyes: The winged liner is the star of this look. Use Lenphor Ink It Eyeliner for a sharp, precise line, and extend it out for a dramatic cat-eye.
- Lips: Opt for a bold berry lipstick such as Lenphor Matte Crayon Lipstick in a shade like "Plum Crush" or "Berry Bliss" to create a statement look.
- Finishing Touch: Highlight the inner corners of your eyes to open them up and make them pop.
5. Golden Smokey Eyes with Nude Lips
This look is perfect for evening Diwali parties. The smoky golden eyes paired with nude lips create a stunning yet sophisticated appearance.
- Face: Use a medium coverage foundation and a radiant concealer to brighten up your under-eyes.
- Eyes: Create a soft smoky eye using golden eyeshadow as the main shade, and deepen the crease with a darker brown or black. Use Lenphor 9 in 1 Eye Shadow palette for blending.
- Lips: Keep the lips understated with a nude shade from the Lenphor Lush Up Matte Lipstick collection, in tones like "Nude Brown" or "Soft Beige."
- Finishing Touch: Add false lashes for extra drama, and top off your look with a light dusting of highlighter for a golden hour glow.
