Dewy Makeup
First it was matte in the last decade, then came glass skin, and now ‘Dewy’. Expect to get make up products that make your skin glow. The fresh and healthy feeling is something that most want. Serum base makeup, spot concealing, and highlights on the high points is in. Skin tints are going to rule, instead of heavy, waterproof makeup or foundation.
Bold Lips
Lip colour is also getting bolder this season. Plums, chilly reds and maroons are going to rule the year. Lip stains are also going to occupy most shelves at the market. The trick is to blur them a bit, giving that soft edge.
Experimental Eyes
Eye makeup will be bolder and brighter. Statement dark kohled eyes are going to be back. Bold graphic liners on the inner corner is also something to look forward to. The best part is that such eyes complement Indian attire very well. So, do it more often, while wearing salwar suits and kurtas.
