With Karvachauth just around the corner, married women and brides-to-be are gearing up to look their absolute best! As this special festival calls for stunning makeup and hair, Vidhi Arya from Professional Beauty India brings you a few Karvachauth looks that are sure to serve as the perfect inspiration for your celebrations!
The Heritage Glam
This look is perfect for all the ladies who want to adopt the various traditional elements into their look but still want to look smart and subtle. Here’s what to do:
Hair:
Style your hair in a sleek, low bun for a touch of elegance and sophistication. You can secure all fly-aways and baby hair with the help of a hair spray or a wax. To add a traditional touch, add a lovely, full gajra.
Makeup:
Opt for a well-balanced makeup look, emphasising soft glam. Keep the base minimal, smooth, and natural; highlighting high points for a natural glow. Define the eyes with kohl and use only neutral tones of eyeshadows, possibly using light brown or taupe. Additionally, choose a natural pinkish-nude shade of lipstick in a velvety matte finish. Complete the look with a bold bindi and voila, you’re ready to head out!
No-Makeup Makeup for The Celebrations
Perfect for the ladies who wish to steer clear of bold Karvachauth looks and want to let their natural beauty shine to its full potential.
Hair:
Let your hair loose with sleek, straight or slightly wavy hair, side-parted. Blowdry and use a serum to achieve a smooth and glossy finish that adds a modern and sophisticated edge.
Makeup:
Keep the makeup minimal. Go for a flawless base with a matte finish and top it up with a light pink blush and minimal highlighter. Shape your eyes with kohl, go for a neutral gloss, a tiny bindi and you’re ready for the celebrations!
Glam and Glitters
It’s the perfect look for all those who love a bold shiny look; for those who love their golds and glitters. Here’s what you need to do:
Hair:
Straighten your hair and tie them in a ponytail, with a few face-framing tendrils. With nice glittering makeup, such a hairdo will help you achieve a balanced look.
Makeup:
Here, the makeup is all about achieving a luminous shine that looks glamorous and classy. The key to perfection is balance. Go for a dewy, flawless base as well as a cream blush in a poppy coral colour. Choose a shimmering eye shadow and line your eyes with a thin liner on the upper lid and kohl on the lower waterline. Finish the look with a glossy or creamy lipstick in a nude shade and your bold, glam look is done!
Red is the Colour of the Day
This look is for all the ladies who love their reds and pinks and want to stick to these hues for their perfect Karvachauth looks. Let’s see how your makeup and hair can complement these lovely hues.
Hair:
Choose a sleek, pulled-back hairstyle to balance the boldness of your outfit’s colour. You can opt for a sleek back ponytail or bun, or you can also choose a soft wavy pony or bun.
Makeup:
If you’re wearing a red or pink outfit and want to match your lipstick to the outfit, the rest of the makeup needs to be muted. Opt for a clean, flawless base – you can choose to keep it dewy or matte. Go for a light pink blush, neutral eyeshadow, and a thin liner on your upper lid. Finish the look with a bold lipstick of your choice!
Shine With Minamilism
This look aims to be traditional but has a lot of glamorous elements to it, be it hair or makeup. It’s lovely for those who love to keep it low-key and glam.
Hair:
Style your hair in a voluminous, wavy bun, giving it a luxurious and glamorous feel. The waves at the front frame the face, creating a feminine and romantic look. Top it up with a minimalistic gajra and your hair is all set.
Makeup:
The makeup leans toward a more dramatic yet sophisticated style. Your base should have a luminous finish, with a highlighter placed strategically on the high points of the face. Go for a bold eyeliner, giving a cat-eye or winged effect and pair it with shimmery eyeshadow on the lids to enhance the eyes. Finish the look with bold red or deep plum lipstick, adding a pop of vibrancy for the festive feel.
