BEAUTY makeup mantra

Flaunted by popular icons such as Marilyn Monroe,

Rihanna, and Elizabeth Taylor among others over

decades, this shade of lipstick has proved to be timeless.

Be it a brunch, date, or an interview, the hue is a must-

have in a woman’s vanity. Sonam Kapoor Ahuja shows us

how to embrace this makeup trend with a retro spin.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

FOR WORK

Pick a matte beige

eyeshadow instead of

a shimmery one.

Choose a deeper

shade of red for

the lips.

FOR A WEDDING

Opt for a glitter gold

eyeshadow and

dramatic winged

eyeliner. Add some

gloss to your

red pout.

FOR A DATE

Strobe your face

with a rose gold

highlighter. Keep

the lids subtle with

nude shimmer

eyeshadow.

LIPS

Moisturise with hydrating

lip balm. Outline your lips

with a vibrant red lip liner.

Choose a similar toned red

lipstick in a creamy matte

finish to fill it in, and stand

out with a voluptuous pout.

FACE

Cleanse, tone, and moisturise

for clear and refined skin.

Apply primer to achieve

a flawless base; top it off with

a velvet matte foundation.

Cover up under-eye

discolouration and blemishes

with a concealer. Set the base

with translucent powder.

CHEEKS

Subtly accentuate features

by contouring and

highlighting with a creamy

bronzer and highlighter.

Blend matte pink

blush on the apples of

the cheeks.

EYES

Dab on a skin-toned

shimmer eyeshadow on the

eyelids and under the lower

lashline. Use a coffee toned

shimmer eyeshadow on the

crease. Create precise winged

lines with black gel eyeliner.

Amp up those lashes with

lengthening mascara.

Bold red lips are, and have always been, a beauty

staple. Take cue from this everlasting trend, and

turn up the sass, says Eden Noronha
