Makeup tips to ace the Karwachauth look:
Primer for the base
A perfect makeup base not just elongate your makeup, it preps your skin for the long Karwachauth rituals. A primer comes to your rescue. It minimises pores, smooths out fine lines, and creates a flawless base, so your makeup lasts during your ritual. Stay fresh and radiant throughout the day without touch-ups.
Foundation that does not look cakey
For Karwachauth glow, a long-lasting foundation is your best friend. It evens out skin tone, hides imperfections, and provides buildable coverage while keeping your skin breathable. Perfect for achieving a natural yet luminous festive look.
Blush for a rosy glow
Bring a pop of color to your cheeks with a soft, blendable blush. Ideal for Karwachauth, it adds a healthy flush that complements traditional attire. Choose shades of rose or coral to highlight your natural charm and elegance.
Highlighter to dazzle a little
Shine as bright as the moon with a silky highlighter. Sweep it across cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose for that radiant Karwachauth glow. A perfect way to enhance your festive makeup with a luminous finish.
Eye Makeup to perfect the night
Complete your Karwachauth look with defined eyes. From kajal to eyeliner and shimmering shadows, eye makeup adds depth and drama. Whether you prefer a subtle shine or a bold festive smokey eye, let your eyes do the talking.
Lipstick that makes the difference
A bold lipstick is a Karwachauth essential. From deep reds to elegant maroons, it adds grace and completes your traditional look. Choose a smudge-proof, long-lasting formula that stays perfect through fasting and celebrations.
Setting Spray for the makeup to stay put
Lock your makeup in place with a refreshing setting spray. It ensures your look stays flawless throughout the day, resisting sweat, humidity, and long rituals. A must-have for Karwachauth to keep your glow intact until the moonrise.
