Karwa Chauth is here, a day when devotion meets glamour. As you fast from sunrise till moonrise, you want your makeup to stay as radiant as your spirit through the long rituals, puja preparations, and that magical chand darshan moment. Fasting can make the skin feel dull and dehydrated, but with a few clever tricks, you can lock in that festive glow all day long. Here’s how to make your makeup last, effortlessly and beautifully.
Even though you’re fasting, your skin shouldn’t feel thirsty. Begin your morning with a hydrating skincare routine, a gentle cleanser, followed by a lightweight moisturiser and a few drops of serum if needed. This step helps your makeup glide on smoothly and prevents it from cracking later in the day.
A primer acts like a bridge between your skincare and foundation, keeping everything in place through the day’s heat and humidity. Go for a mattifying primer if you have oily skin, or a hydrating one if your skin leans dry.
Since you’ll be fasting all day, a heavy foundation can make your skin feel weighed down. Instead, use a long-wear, lightweight foundation or a BB cream that evens out your complexion while letting your skin breathe.
As per Lakmē Academy, “Karwa Chauth involves prayers, rituals, and sometimes even a few emotional moments, so waterproof products are a must! Choose a smudge-proof eyeliner and mascara to keep your eye makeup flawless throughout the day.”
Fasting can make your face look a little pale as the day progresses. Bring back warmth with a cream or tint-based blush in shades of coral or rose; it lasts longer and blends seamlessly into the skin.
Your lipstick should be as long-lasting as your devotion today. Go for a matte or satin-finish lipstick with hydrating ingredients so it doesn’t dry your lips during the fast. Shades like deep red, berry, or maroon are perfect for the festive vibe.
If your makeup starts feeling dull, avoid layering more product. Instead, use blotting papers to absorb excess oil and lightly mist your face with rose water. This instantly revives your makeup and gives your skin a fresh, dewy finish without caking.
As evening sets in and it’s time for your puja, spend just five minutes for a soft touch-up. Reapply a hint of blush and lipstick, and dab a little highlighter to bring back your glow.
