Know how to look beautiful on Raksha Bandhan 2020

The celebratory times to rejoice the bond you share with your brother(s) have arrived. The times are difficult but it is for you to realise the true value of your relations with other people. So you must celebrate Raksha Bandhan and bless your brother with health, wealth and prosperity.

Celebrations must happen with a glamorous celebratory look. It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to visit beauty parlor or make-up studio for the purpose but you can add to your grace and beauty, all by yourself.

In order to help you enhance your looks and style, we got in touch with Celebrity Makeup artist Samaira Sandhu and she helped us prepare a step-by-step make-up guide. It will help you to be at your personal best at the Raksha Bandhan 2020.

1. Clearing and Cleansing the Skin
Before putting on any form of make-up, it is necessary to have a clear and clean skin. For this purpose, you can make use of skin cleansers.

You must clean your skin thoroughly but gently.

2. Maintaining an Optimum Moisture
Bringing the moisture in your skin to an optimum level is a must before you apply any other beauty products. This step should be taken care off especially during the monsoon season when the humidity in the air is quite high.

If you have a dry skin, then you may apply moisturizer. On the other hand primer will serve you the best if your skin is oily.

Once your skin has the right amount of moisture, you can start applying the concealers, foundation creams etc. as mentioned below.

3. Making Use of the Concealer
Once optimally moisturized, your skin is now ready for concealers. Put on the one which goes perfectly with your skin tone.

In case there are dark circles, an orange corrector can be used before the application of concealers.

4. Covering the Flaws with Foundation

At home, you wouldn’t need a very thick and showy coat of the foundation cream. You can rather apply a thin coat of fluid foundation on your skin.

5. Illuminating the Lips and the Eyes
Eyes and lips are a matter of your choice. For either of them, you may go dark or light. However, you should try and maintain a contrast. For instance, if you’re making use of a light lipstick shade, then you must keep your eyes bold and heavy.

The contrast between light eyes and dark lips or bold eyes and light lips brings out the best of looks. For the eyes, you can put on kajal on both the upper and the lower lid and then smudge it a brown matte eye shadow.

Since you’re home, you don’t need to do anything for your lashes. However, if you so wish to do something, you may apply two coats of mascara for a voluminous effect.

6. Keeping the Cheeks Light
At home, your cheeks wouldn’t need a lot. You can simply use a blusher to highlight the cheeks and highlighter for the temples and other highlighting points of your face.

While using a pink or peach blush, you may skip the lipstick and use a lip gloss instead.

Fill your brows with the powder products or an eye-shadow and you’re good to go!
