• Primer—  Choose a primer that is matte based for oily skin and hydrating for dry skin, and apply it to your T-zone and cheeks and wait for a minute before applying your foundation to ensure it has the correct finish.

• Liquid foundation— Test the colour against your jawline under natural light and not on your wrist. Medium coverage will be suitable for parties, whereas sheer coverage will work fine for regular use.

• Concealer— Choose a concealer that is slightly lighter in tone than the foundation shade and apply it using a wet sponge instead of pulling it.

• Setting powder— Apply a translucent setting powder over your T-Zone and carry a compact size of it in your purse for touch-ups during the day.

• Blush—Peach and soft coral colours will complement wheatish skin tone, whereas rose pink will complement fair skin and berry or brick colours will be visible on deep skin tone.

• Cream blush for dry skin—Apply it with fingertips before applying any powder, as it blends easily and retains moisture in the skin.

• Highlighter—Use champagne colour for fair skin, use gold colour for medium skin tone, while bronze for deep skin tone and apply it on cheekbones, brow bone, and bridge of nose.

3. Eye Essentials: Kajal, Eyeliner, Mascara and Eyeshadow

• Kajal—This is a smudge resistant black pencil that will help define the waterline, so smudge it under the upper lash line using a small brush to create a smoky effect.

• Eyeliner—A liquid or gel liner helps in making sharp winged eye makeup for an evening look so make the wing with small strokes towards the end of the eyebrow rather than drawing one straight line.

• Mascara—A waterproof black or dark brown formula will help in making your eyes appear bigger in a few wiggles from the lash root to the tips.

• Eyeshadow Palette—Keep a palette having matte brown, shimmery colour and bronze/copper colour. This will be useful for most of the Diwali attire.

4. Lip Products: Lipstick and Lip Liner

• Lipsticks—Traditional red, brick or rust shades, nude pink, and plum that go well with every outfit and matte versions that stay on for the entire evening, whereas cream lipsticks are better to be used during the early morning prayer puja.

• Lip liner—Use lip liner before applying lipsticks to avoid feathering and make your dark lipstick last longer.

• Eyelash curler—Curl lashes before applying mascara, and hold for ten seconds at the lash line.

• Micellar water and makeup remover towels—use micellar water, cleansing balm or oil, then remove makeup with gentle pressure.

Conclusion: Your Makeup Kit in One Look

You do not require dozens of cosmetic items to make an effective makeup collection but you need to have a base, cheek colour, eye definition, a beautiful shade of lips and some clean brushes to make makeup for puja, parties, and even daily use. All that you need is to select colours that match your skin and apply them in layers and that is how your collection will remain relevant well after Diwali.
