In the most recent season, Indian celebrities have not been shy to pull out all the stops in terms of beauty trends. With an array of colorful, daring, and distinctive looks to choose from, anyone eager to update their look has a wealth of inspiration to draw upon. Some of the most noticeable trends of the season, spotted on some of India’s hottest stars, include glossy lips, dewy skin, statement brows, dark lip shades, and smudged kohl.
Glossy lips have made a triumphant return to the beauty scene and they have found quite a few fans among Bollywood’s leading ladies. Janhvi Kapoor, for example, was recently spotted rocking glossy, rose-pink lips that aligned perfectly with her naturally glowing skin at a recent awards ceremony. Sonam Kapoor, always the trendsetter in the fashion world, was seen flaunting high-shine, dark brown lips at a major fashion week event, pairing it perfectly with a minimal makeup look.
Stunning glossy lips can be achieved with a lip color suiting your skin tone, topped up with a clear gloss for added shine. A pink shade will give your lips a soft fresh vibe while darker options like brown or plum provide a more dramatic impact.
Meanwhile, dewy, glowing skin continued its reign in celebrity beauty circles. Kiara Advani, for instance, posted a picture of her glowing skin on social media, using minimal base and allowing her natural glow to take center stage. Ananya Panday also sported the dewy skin look at an awards show, subtly highlighting her cheeks and nose with a shimmer. Achieve this radiant skin look by hydrating your skin and using primer and light foundation. A touch of liquid highlighter on your cheeks, nose, and cupid’s bow will give that radiant final touch.
Statement brows are also having a moment, with celebrities leaning into even bolder versions of this enduring trend. Bollywood queen Deepika Padukone, renowned for her strong brow game, displayed full, structured brows at a high-profile event. Kriti Sanon followed this trend at a major awards ceremony, with unmistakable, defined brows that added edginess to her overall look.
To achieve this look, use a brow pencil or powder to fill sparse areas, then brush the brows to impart a feathery, natural finish. The idea is to enhance the natural shape of your brows, not to over exaggerate them!
In addition, intriguing dark lips and soft pastel eyes were spotted on the scene, bringing back memories of the film, Wicked. Yes, expect moody greens and dramatic liners! Shruti Haasan, unafraid to explore darker drown tones, also jumped on this trend.
The smudged kohl look, a perennial favorite of effortless chic, also gained more momentum this season. Bhumi Pednekar wore smudged kohl alongside a deep berry lip at a recent fashion show, presenting deep, captivating eyes. Kangana Ranaut favored smudged kohl-lined eyes with nude lips at a promotion.
This look can be replicated easily by lining your eyes with kohl and then smudging the edges with a brush or your finger.
These trends, while stunning on the page and on our screens, are also accessible for anyone to try. Whether for a party or a regular day out, you can take cues from these Bollywood beauty trendsetters and give your beauty routine a fresh new twist. Taking inspiration from these trends is like having your very own celebrity stylist, helping you stay in tune with the fashion-forward world while adding a personal touch to your look.
