How to recreate Sara Ali Khan’s lit-up makeup for your next wedding do

Our favourite Bollywood celebrity beauty looks from last week, decoded

Sara Ali Khan might still be due for her big screen debut, but she’s leaving no stone unturned when it comes to making news away from the movies. Case in point: her makeup at Sandeep Khosla’s niece’s wedding. We also loved Disha Patani’s nude hues and Sonam Kapoor’s dramatic eye look from last week. Here’s how you can recreate each of their beauty looks.

Sara Ali Khan’s glowing makeup

We spotted Sara Ali Khan at Sandeep Khosla’s niece Saudamini Mattu’s wedding reception over the weekend in a high-glam makeup look that was show stealing to say the least. Though she stayed away from bright colours and intense eyes, her glowing complexion made sure that our attention never wavered from her face.

How to get the look

The secret to getting your glow right for this look lies in the base makeup. After prepping your skin with a moisturiser, use a glow-boosting primer to get an even tone—preferably one that promises to give you a pearlescent finish. Top it up with a creamy foundation that’ll give you the radiant skin you desire. For the eyes, use a dull gold eyeshadow for your lids, tightline your upper and lower lash lines and apply multiple coats of mascara to your lashes as a finishing touch. Dab on some highlighter on the high points of your face and use a creamy brown lipstick for your pout. Keep your hair look simple by opting for a blowout.

Patani stepped out this weekend in a nude bodycon dress and went with makeup from the same colour family to complement it. Her beauty look comprised of light shimmery eyes and a glossy lip, complete with side-parted wavy hair.

How to get the look

For Patani’s look, start with a lightweight, dewy finish foundation for your face—mix it up with a moisturiser and apply it on your neck as well—to make sure your skin tone looks uniform. For your eyes, correct and conceal any dark circles and dust on some silver shimmer eyeshadow on your lids with a light touch. Then, coat your upper and lower lashes in mascara. Follow with a faint, matte pink blush for your cheeks and a shiny brown gloss for your lips to complete the look. Keep the hair simple by styling it in large, open waves with a side part.

Sonam Kapoor’s defined eyes

While Kapoor belted out multiple standout beauty looks in the past week, this one was a particular favourite. The defined eyeliner and eyeshadow made for impactful makeup that balanced well against her fluid outfit.

How to get the look

For Kapoor’s makeup, start off with a matte foundation as your base; make sure you colour correct and conceal any blemishes beforehand, so that your skin looks even. Brush your brows so that the hair is all in place, and looks defined. For your eye makeup, apply light brown eyeshadow on your lids and pull it till just before your brow bone. Apply a matte beige shadow on your crease line to give your eyes some definition. Then, choose a cream coloured eyeshadow and apply it on your eyelid. Using a gel eyeliner for maximum impact, draw on a winged eyeliner in a line that thickens as it extends outwards. Take a small eyeshadow brush and blend a dark brown shadow on your lower lash line. Use a soft pink blush for your cheeks and a matte, coral nude for your lips to finish.
