Jazz Up Your Festive Look With Ethnic Wear and Right Makeup

Experiment with your look this festive season and ditch heavy ethnic attire for palazzos and layered kurtas, say experts.

Rajesh Jain, Business Head at Rangriti, says a combination of classic kurta and a palazzo never fails to impress.

* Pair floral palazzos with a super simple white kurta.

* Accentuate your look with the trendy earrings, watch and sandals.

* You can also go for a minimalistic look, with just a neck piece or a long earring or a broad bracelet.

* The best option is to keep your neck bare and just go for bright colour studs or earrings with your outfits.

* You can also opt for layered kurtas. Team an embroidered or any printed kurta with plain cigarette or 3/4th length pants.

* Ignore long or heavy and difficult to manage duppattas. Rather go for jackets or stoles to jazz up your look.

* Fabric like pure cotton, silk, mul, chiffon, nylon, georgette are the easy go fabrics for this festive season.

Rozar Lobo, Make-up Artist, The Body Shop, suggests easy ways for make-up

Face:

* Prep your skin with a skin care regime (cleansing, toning, moisturising) according to your skin type.

* Use a primer 'All in one Insta Blur' to make a perfect base for your make-up.

* Conceal the imperfections with a concealer

* Dab foundation (Fresh nude foundation/ cushion foundation) with make-up brush or a sponge. Wait till it settles.

* Take the two shades of compact - one lighter and darker; the lighter one for the T- zone and the darker one on C -Zone to get the perfect sculpted look.

Cheek:

* Contour with shimmer wave, bronze with blusher brush on hollow of the cheek.

* For perfect application, highlight cheek bone with honey bronze dome with appropriate colour.

Lip:

* Before the application of the lipstick, remove the dead skin using a lip scrub for smooth effect.

* Define and fill lip with a lip definer.

* Add a pop of colour of your choice with the help of lipstick concealer brush.
