In Maharashtra, Makar Sankranti celebrations are known for the gorgeous black sarees that the women don. Celebrity makeup artist, Ojas Rajani says, “The beauty lies in the beholder and the festive eye makeup look that compliments the black saree the best is the smudged kohl look. To achieve the same, take a kajal and apply a thick kajal on your eyelids, where you apply eyeliner. Take a brush or a Q-tip and just smudge it. It gives a nice smokey eye effect which makes you look very young. You can do the same on your lower water line too. It’s very similar to what Alia Bhatt did in Rocky and Rani Ki Prem Kahani. If someone likes to play with colours, the same look can be achieved with a blue or green liner too.”

Tamil Nadu, the land of Kanjeevaram sarees celebrates Pongal with a lot of zeal. All the ladies who sport a bright, crisp silk saree for this festival can go neutral with their eyes. One can apply a neutral shade of eyeshadow on the eyelid and add a nice winged eyeliner. After all, nothing compliments a silk saree and a gajra like a winged eyeliner.

Lohri, celebrated in Punjab, is a colourful event. With loads of shimmery gotas and bright colours, makeup plays an important role in balancing the look. Celebrity makeup artist, Aanchal Khanna suggests, “Winter is all about playing with warm tones. For Lohri, prefer keeping your eyes as the focus point. Go for kohled eyes and add a good layer of mascara for a perfect Indian-Punjabi look. And, adding a bindi will give you that perfect ‘Punjabi pataka’ vibe.”

For Basant Panchami, a vibrant festive eye makeup look complementing the yellow attire can totally enhance the festive spirit. Start with a soft, golden eyeshadow as the base, blending it gently across the lids. Define the eyes with a thin black eyeliner and finish with voluminous lashes. Opt for a touch of shimmery champagne eyeshadow in the inner corners to brighten the eyes. This look will totally radiate the warmth of Basant Panchami.
No matter what you wear, focusing on creating a gorgeous, festive eye makeup look can make you look as glowing as the winter sun of this season. Wishing you all a joyous harvest festive season.
