From bold black saree glam to forest green elegance, Manisha Chopra, Beauty coach, an entrepreneur, and the Founder of SeaSoul Cosmetics shares her step-by-step guide to mastering radiant Diwali ready looks with skincare and makeup synergy.
As the festive season lights up, it’s time to shine with looks that celebrate both tradition and trend. Beauty expert Manisha Chopra shares two distinctive Diwali-ready transformations, one bold and timeless, the other chic and modern. Each look begins with the foundation of good skincare, followed by thoughtful makeup layering with essentials products. Whether you prefer classic glamour or a monochrome twist, these looks are designed to inspire confidence and radiance this Diwali.
Look 1: Black Saree Glam
This Diwali, go bold with a look that balances depth and vibrance. Begin by prepping your skin with the CTTMS routine, cleansing, toning, treatment/serum, moisturising, and SPF. Manisha recommends Seasoul’s Dead Sea range for hydrated, glowing skin. For the base, she uses foundation (shade LF07), then defines the eyes with the Magnetic Eyeshadow Palette in shades Gold Ochre, Burnt Brown, and Choco Black, paired with a gold holographic pencil for subtle sparkle. A sweep of Cheek Sheek blush, fiery red lipstick (shade LL08), and false lashes complete the look. Add a red bindi and hints of green in your accessories for contrast.
Finish the look with smooth blow-dried hair styled into soft, heatless curls, set using Kerasoul’s Cryo Seal Spray.
Style Takeaway:
When wearing black, pair the depth of the outfit with a pop of colour on the lips or accessories to keep it festive and bright.
Look 2: Forest Green Monochrome
For a fresh and modern Diwali look, embrace the elegance of a forest green monochrome palette. Start again with the CTTMS routine and Seasoul’s Dead Sea range for a luminous base. Apply foundation (LF07) for an even finish, then layer Magnetic Eyeshadow Palette shades Love Stuck, Raw Sienna, and Lilac for soft colour play. A pink holographic pencil and black gel mousse liner add brightness and definition. Top with long-lift mascara, a hint of Pink Frost blush, and Seasoul’s nude lipstick (LL21) for subtle charm. A touch of Liquid Highlighter enhances the glow.
Style your hair in tonged curls for bounce and seal with Kerasoul’s Cryo Seal Spray. Complete the look with gold jewellery for festive flair.
Style Takeaway:
Metallic or shimmer accents on the eyes elevate a monochrome outfit, adding instant festive appeal.
