1. Smokey eyes
Night-time festivities and smokey eye makeup go hand-in-hand. For your perfect Lohri makeup look, a smokey eye paired with nude lips is sure to steal the show.
• Start by prepping your eyes with some primer to create a smooth base
• Apply a matte brown eyeshadow shade to add a base colour to your eyes
• For the next step, whip out your kajal and draw a thick line on your eyelid. With the help of a small brush, blend out the kajal across your lid to create a smokey look
• Once you have blended your kajal well, use the same brown eyeshadow to deepen your crease slightly. Blend all this well to eliminate any harsh lines
• To add more drama to your Lohri look, you can apply some kajal to your waterline as well
• Add some mascara to your lashes to complete your eye makeup
After applying a light layer of face makeup, add some colour to your pout with your favourite nude lipstick shade. You can pair this smokey and dramatic Lohri makeup look with your colourful Indian outfits!
2. Flushed base
If you are someone who prefers dewy and light base makeup, then this can be an ideal Lohri makeup look for you. Instead of loading your face with foundation, opt for a more luminous and flushed face makeup.
• Start by using a dewy primer to add a slight glow to your skin
• Dot foundation across your face and blend it out. Make sure you use very little product, to attain that luminous base
• Give yourself a facelift with concealer and apply it under your eyes, by swiping it towards your temples
• It is very important to choose the right shade of foundation, concealer and powder while doing your Lohri makeup. Not sure how to do so? Head to the Maybelline Foundation Finder tool to find the shade that fits you perfectly
• To get that perfect flushed look in your Lohri makeup, apply some blush to the apples of your cheeks. Slightly dust it on your nose as well for a rosy appearance
• Lightly contour your cheekbones and apply some highlighter to add glow to your Lohri look for women
• Spritz some setting spray to lock your Lohri makeup look in place.
To finish your Lohri makeup, apply shimmery eyeshadow, eyeliner, and lengthening mascara to your eyes. Colour your pout with your favourite lipstick and your ravishing Lohri look is ready!
3. Lipstick shades that Pop
If you’re bored of the same old nude lipsticks, Lohri is a good time for you to experiment with different shades! Opt for different shades of red lipstick, bright orange or a poppy pink lip colour, as they will pair perfectly with your colourful Lohri outfits. If you are confused about which lipstick to pick, you can use the Maybelline Virtual Try-On tool to find a shade that suits your occasion and mood and finalise your lip makeup for the day.
4. Colourful eyes
Any Lohri makeup look for women seems incomplete without adding vibrant colours to your eye makeup. This will make your eyes pop while adding a dramatic flair to your Lohri makeup look. You can either use green eyeshadow to create a colourful eye look or use brown or blue eyeliner on your waterline. This will add dimension to your eyes while making sure they do all the talking. If you want to draw more attention to your eyes, wear a bindi. This will surely elevate your Lohri look effortlessly!
