Your girl loves the festive season and dressing up for Pujas. As we get ready to celebrate the festive season, I decided to put together this easy to recreate festive make up look, with one of my favourite colours for the festivals - Red, dominating the overall look.
This look is easy to recreate and takes just 10 mins! How about you give it a shot during the upcoming festivities, shaadi season and events?

Festive / Wedding Special Look Book + Make Up Tutorial | Feat MAC Cosmetics
Seasons greetings to one and all! Tis' the festival of lights, joy, happiness and warmth. We hope you've had a wonderful Diwali weekend with your loved ones, making each moment a memorable one. While on one side, we have got festivities on in full swing, we are also ushering in the wedding season, which will be at it's peak in the coming months. The last season (early 2016) was an important one for most friends, as they tied the knot and welcomed a new phase in their lives. Once again, the time to celebrate great Indian weddings is upon us and most of us can do with all the inspiration possible to look elegant (and get some good pictures with our besties, while we are at it). So, I recently created this simple Indian festive / wedding special look using products by MAC Cosmetics (including a few products from their festive range). Read on to get a step-by-step tutorial to achieve this look.
Look: The Festive Emerald - Gold Eye
Step 1 - Face: Start off by hydrating your skin with a moisturiser. With winter setting in, you definitely don't want any dry skin patches. Then, add a few spritz of MAC Prep + Prime Fix+
Step 2 - Foundation: Use a foundation brush and apply MAC Studio Sculpt SPF 15 foundation. I use the shade NC 40. Blend well, to ensure you get a natural finish. Since I also have a slightly oily T-zone, I used the MAC Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation to set a few areas.
Step 3 - Concealer - Use a concealer to cover blemishes, if any. I used the MAC Select Cover Up for the spots, in NC 35.
Step 4 - Eyes: Start off by contouring the eye with Embark (eyeshadow - part of the Light Festival Eye Shadow x 9 palette). Tightly line the eyes with Modern Twist Kajal Liner in Squid. Next, use Embark again; this time to the outer corner of the eye. Smudge it slightly for a soft, smoky look (optional). Use Amber Lights (a soft gold eye shadow, part of the same palette) across the lid. Then, use Humid (a gorgeous emerald eye shadow in the palette) on the lower lash line and smudge it out slightly for a dramatic, smoky green effect (optional). Lastly, curl your lashes and apply a coat of MAC Haute and Naughty mascara. Since I didn't want to opt for a heavily smoky look, I smudged Embark and Humid a little less, and highlighted my eyes more using Amber Lights.
Step 5 - Brows: Groom your eyebrows well. I used the MAC Eye Brows Pencil (mechanical) in Stylized.
Step 6: Cheeks - Use Powder Blush in Pinch Me to add a subtle, flushed cheeks effect. Apply a bit of MAC mineralize skin finish in Soft & Gentle for a soft yet glamorous highlight.
Step 7: Lips - Hydrate your lips a few minutes before using the lipstick (use a good non-scented / flavoured lip balm). Then, outline your lips using MAC lip pencil in Cranberry, and finish with lipstick Mehr (matte).
Step 8: Finally, a light spritz of MAC Prep + Prime Fix+ is all you need to seal your make up and look festive / wedding ready!
For accessories, I chose a pair of traditional jhumkas (originally from Chennai). Since the outfit had some interesting pearl embroidery on the neck and collar, I did not opt for any necklace. Instead, I opted for a ring bracelet, which added an ethnic touch to the overall look. For those who don't own a pair of jhumkas, a pair of statement earrings would also work. You can also chose some unique finger rings or other accessories for your hand, especially if your outfit is sleeveless.

Anushka Sharma - Festive Style for Ae Dil Hai Mushkil promotions | Style Files
With her latest release Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, running successfully across the globe, Anushka Sharma is winning hearts and earning praises for her flawless portrayal of Alizeh. We are quite sure the actress is enjoying a truly happy Diwali. While her on-screen role continues to earn accolades, off screen too, the actress hasn't disappointed us with her sartorial choices, especially during the promotions of ADHM. One stunning look after another, Anushka gave us some major festive style goals. We take a look at some of our favourites.
Anushka for ADHM promotions - Sabyasachi
Anushka attended a popular comedy show, along with her co-actors from the film. We are head over heels in love with this black and gold Sabyasachi outfit (earlier seen on the runway at Lakmè Fashion Week W/F 2016). Her stylist, Allia, accessorised the look with a studded necklace by Kishandas Jewellery. We love how the overall look has been kept simple, with sleek centre parted hair and subtle make up, allowing the necklace and gold detailing on the outfit to stand out.
Anushka for ADHM promotions - Manish Malhotra
Earlier today, the actress was spotted celebrating Diwali with the media at a suburban multiplex. After a short press conference, the actress was seen lighting diyas and distributing sweets, in this beautiful Manish Malhotra saree. She accessorised the look with a pair of jhumkas and a gold bangle. Her MUA, Puneet Saini, has done a great job with all of Anushka's looks for ADHM promotions. Here, she has opted for a natural look, with slightly flushed cheeks and rose pink lips. Centre parted updo and a pair of metallic flats completed her look.
Anushka for ADHM promotions - Anita Dongre
For the second episode of the same comedy show, where she earlier sported a Sabyasachi outfit, Anushka chose a gorgeous ivory Anita Dongre outfit, with a long gold embroidery jacket. A pair of earrings by Curio Cottage and ring by Kishandas Jewellery added a nice touch of festive bling to the look. Smokey eyes, nude lips and hair tied into an updo; Anushka was ready to glam it up!
Anushka for ADHM promotions - Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla
One of our favourite looks on the chirpy actress, Anushka chose a canary yellow areesa kamarband multi-kali by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla for a reality show. The hand embroidered outfit, with mirror and zardozi work, looked like a dream on Anushka, who ditched accessories and opted for a natural look with tousled waves.
Anushka for ADHM promotions - Manish Malhotra
For a promotional event, Anushka chose a midnight blue Manish Malhotra anarkali, with gold sleeves, dupatta and embellished buttons. We like how the actress opted for statement earrings by Isharya, a neat, centre parted bun, minimal make up and a tiny bindi to go with the outfit. This 'Diwali' ready look is flawless. Perfect for those who like to keep it simple, yet make a strong impact with their outfit.
Anushka for ADHM promotions - Sukriti & Aakriti
Just a few days before the big release, Anushka and her co-star Ranbir Kapoor, were spotted visiting the sets of some popular television shows. For one such appearance, Anushka picked a salmon pink dress with metallic detailing by Sukriti & Aakriti. She accessorised this look with a pair of statement earrings (clearly, her favourite accessory this season) by Amrapali Jewels. Once again, the make up was simple, with eyebrows on fleek and rose pink lips. Oh, and we love that crown braid!
Have you seen Ae Dil Hai Mushkil yet? (psst! go read our review to know more about the film) 2016 is clearly Anushka's year, with two powerful and completely different performances as Aarfa (Sultan) and Alizeh (ADHM). More power to you, girl!
