Base

Step 1: Use cold Rose Water to soothe your skin. Give it a few moments for your skin to absorb it.

Step 2: Use a good moisturizer. Give your skin some time to soak in the moisturizer.

STEP 3: Find a good primer to hold your make up in place and to give the perfect finishing. Smash box primer is a good choice and perfect for being photographed. But do keep in mind to use just a tiny bit.

Step 4: Use a foundation that suits your skin. And remember to blend…blend and blend… Otherwise, you will see distinct tones on your skin, making your skin look unhealthy.

Step 5: Set the foundation with a light dust of translucent powder.

Eyes

Now for the eyes, since its Diwali, it’s all about Sparkles And Glitters!

Step 6: Use your favorite gold or silver eye-shadow in the inner corner of your upper and lower eyelid. In the middle of your upper eye lid use a color that goes with your clothes (greens and blues work wonders for Asian skin tone.). And in the outer corners, smoke it out with a darker shade (a black, grey or a dark brown will look perfect). Once again, don’t forget to blend!! Now to add that sparkle, use your favorite glitter all over. But make sure to use just a tiny bit.

Step 7: This season is all about glitter. Find glitter eyeliners (black, green, blue, grey, gold) and use it to line your lower and upper lash lines. Add a black line to your waterline.

Step 8: Curl your lashes and add a few coats of mascara. For more Drama, use false lashes and don’t forget to add mascara to it to.

Cheeks

Step 9: For your cheeks use a powder blush and to add a different dimension use a cream blush on top of it. Sweep whatever is left on your brush on your temples, forehead, nose and chin. Always remember to use a light hand while doing your makeup. To finish off, use a Shimmer brick on top of your blush. (Start by using a little amount of all your products! It`s easier to add more than to remove.)

Lips

Step 10: Use a two toned lipstick. But do keep in mind if your eyes are dramatic it`s best to use a lighter color on your lips to balance your look (But hey… there are absolutely no rules in makeup). Add a gloss to your lips. This season is all about glossy lips.

Concealing

Step 11: Now is the time to conceal. Use your concealer under your eyes, and where ever needed. Always set concealer with a powder.

Step 12: An illuminator or highlighter will complete your look for this festive season. Use a little bit on you cheek bones, on the cupid`s bow of your lips, and middle of your nose. It will catch the light perfectly and give a beautiful glow to your skin.
