Skincare plays a key role in achieving the radiant glow that’s almost synonymous with Durga Puja.

Drinking plenty of water and including hydrating serums and moisturizers also helps you to maintain radiantly glowing skin. Besides, weekly face masks like clay masks or DIY masks made of turmeric and yogurt or oatmeal and milk can work wonders.
Next, the author shares her makeup drills, starting with a good primer for a smoother canvas for the foundation. She recommends medium to full-coverage foundation for an even complexion, a concealer to brighten the under-eye area and cover any blemishes, and a setting spray to ensure your makeup stays put all day.
For vibrant eye makeup, Don’t be afraid to experiment with colors. You can create vibrant eye looks using bold eyeshadow palettes with traditional favorites like golds, coppers, and reds. For the lips, choosing bold and festive colors like reds, maroons, and deep pinks are perfect. Remember, long-lasting and matte formulas can keep your lips looking perfect throughout all the festivities.
To make sure that your hair matches the rest of your glamorous look, she suggests using hair masks regularly leading up to the festival, which can keep your hair healthy and shiny. Ingredients like coconut oil, aloe vera, and yogurt can nourish and hydrate your hair. Also, experimenting with different hairstyles that complement your outfits could add to the charm. Traditional buns adorned with flowers or loose waves can look stunning.
Finally, to complete the look and to feel confident throughout the celebrations, finish your prep with a spritz of your favorite perfume.
