8 Different Garba Makeup Looks to Glitz And Glam Your Way Through the Night
1: Golden glam
A special festive night calls for golden sparkly makeup. The touch of golden shimmer gives a dreamy and magical effect, especially on most Indian skin tones. To achieve this makeup for garba, you need 3 main products: A Highlighter, a shimmery Illuminator, and an Eyeliner.
Begin by making small dots of our dewy finish Illuminator on the face with the shades Caramel Custard or Sparkling Peach. Blend well, and then with a handy brush like our Swipe Right Blending Brush, you can add more shine to the high points of your face with the Highlighter Palette Sitara or Chandni, both including some beautiful gold, copper pink, and bronze hues. Finally, apply the Wings For Your Eyes eyeliner in a style of your preference, whether it’s a winged eyeliner look or a tightlining of your upper eyelid. This look is perfect if you want to feel like the star of the event!
2: Dramatic Eyes
Eyes can say a thousand words, especially when you make them shine. A traditional Gujarati makeup is all about making your eyes become the centre stage. Simply enhance the shape of your eyes with deep black eyeliner and kajal. This makes the eyes look bold and also adds depth to your face!
So, with our Nazar Na Lage Kajal, line your lower and upper eyelids by building it up to as dark a black as you would like it to be. Then with the Wings For Your Eyes, make a stroke of a dramatic (slightly thick) winged eyeliner shape to truly make the eyes pop.
LC Tip: When trying to highlight the eyes, wearing a subtle lip colour like our Sweet Supreme Matte Lipstick in nude pink tone can help to keep the attention on the eyes.
3: Back to the 90’s
The 90’s makeup look was all about the dark lip liner paired with light lipsticks. Recently the look is making a major comeback. This aesthetic is gaining popularity and many celebrities have also been pairing this with the traditional festive looks this season. So when it comes to navratri makeup looks that feel like a standout amongst the usual choices, try picking a dark lip liner like the Passport Pucker Sea Breeze in shade berry and fill in the lips with a light shade like Meetha. In fact, we have this very duo in Pink Lagoon Liner & Lipstick Combo to make this easier for you!
4. Bold, Smokey eyes
It’s not like we haven’t already spoken about bold eyes, but smokey eyes have their own charm. A good smokey eye look can add more dimension and a bit more mystery. Apply the black Nazar Na Lage Kajal on the lash line like you would for bold eyes and then blend it slowly with a brush to blur the line.
5. Soft Glow
If you want to keep your Navratri makeup fresh and natural, the Soft Glow makeup look is your winner. To get that glow right, start by applying our foundation for a natural shine. Add a subtle pop of colour with our Bubblegum Baraat Matte Blush and get the whole look together by applying our Buzz Kill 2.0 Lipstick to keep things light and breezy.
6. Turn Up the Glam
Give your garba makeup look a glamorous and bold twist by first applying our Lights Camera Foundation and Concealer Cameo which promises a matte and long-lasting finish. Define your cheeks with our Creme Blush with best-selling shades like Shocking Sharbat or La La Land blush. To finish the look, swipe a bold red lipstick like Twisted, and your Navratri Glam look is good to go!
7. Modern Look
If you are a makeup girlie who likes to stay up-to-date on the newest makeup looks while keeping things traditional, this dandiya makeup look idea is the perfect choice for you. Since modern makeup is all about making your eyes pop, start by lining your upper and lower eyelids with our Nazar Na Lage Kajal and then apply Wings For Your Eyes eyeliner to make an eye-catching statement. Polish the look with our Lights Camera Foundation and opt for a nude lipstick shade such as Soul Curry Nude Lipstick to balance out the bold look.
8: No Makeup Look
To get the perfect no-makeup look, use a dewy primer like our City-Proof Hydrating Primer to give you a smooth and natural-looking base. To keep it minimal, go straight for the concealer. As a part of the natural ‘no-makeup look’, either opt for a tinted lip balm such as the Marshmallow Fluff hydrating lip balm or nude lipstick like Clear The Lane to give your lips a subtle touch of colour and coverage.
