Glam-up like firecrackers

Diwali is a festival that is filled with joy and quality time spent with family. It is also a time to rock various makeup looks along with your festive outfits. ‘Gone are the days when the simple matte look ruled the roost’. With glittery makeup doing the rounds, Sweta - productmanager, Spinz BB Fairness cream from CavinKare, shares tips to achieve three smoldering DIY makeup looks inspired from firecrackers to bring out your glow amidst all the lamps and lights this Diwali.

Rose Gold Glitter: Always start by applying your everyday cream/BB cream to your face as a base for your makeup. Choose a foundation shade as close to your natural skin colour and apply a thin layer evenly over the face. Once the face is covered, it’s time for the eyes. Make sure you apply a generous coat of primer on your eyelids so that the eye makeup would last all night long. Select a metallic rose gold shadow and apply it all over the eyelid with a help of a brush. Finish off your eyes with a thick line of kajal and a generous coat of mascara to your lashes. Go bold with a warm red lip colour to bring together the glam diva look.

Copper Craze:  After prepping the face with basic everyday BB cream, apply evenly a natural shade of foundation suiting your skin colour. Prime your eyelids before applying eye shadow to make the product last longer. Take a metallic copper eye shadow and apply it evenly on the creases of the eye lids and blend it for soft dreamy eyes. Apply a thin lash - line with a black eyeliner and coat your lashes with ample amount of mascara to make your eyes stand out. Don't forget to groom your brows with an eye brow pencil to pull the eye makeup look together. To emphasise your cheekbones, go for a metallic highlighter for that illuminant goddess look. Finish off the look with a dash of light pink to your lips.   

Aluminium Allure: In order to create this Diwali Metallic Aluminium eye makeup look at home use a good primer on the eye lids to ensure that the makeup is long lasting. Create a smokey eye by filling in the base of the eyelids with black gel eyeliner while smudging the same quickly. Then, start by lightly blending in a matte brown eye shadow on the crease followed by a dark brown eye shadow. Apply a medium toned grey shade of shadow over the darkened black eye lid. Follow up with aluminium shaded glitter eye liner and spread it over the eye lid and blend well. 

Again, gently blend in the brown shadow on the crease to the upper eye lid to create a defined transition. Dab the inner corner of the eye with a touch of highlighter and finish off the eye makeup look with a black lined cat eye on the upper eye lid as well as define the lashes with mascara and artificial lashes. Use a foundation and primer for the rest of the face and conceal pigmentation using a colour corrector. Gently contour highlight to enhance the facial features. Further add colour to your cheeks with a warm pink blush and a coral pink lipstick.
