For your eye makeup, kohl-rimmed eyes are a classic choice. Line your upper and lower waterlines with the Lakmé Eyeconic Insta Cool Deep Black Kajal for an intense black stroke, then gently smudge it outward using the Lakmé Dual Ended Eyeshadow Brush. This creates a soft, smokey eye look—perfect for enhancing your eyes but still letting the intensity of your henna be the darkest.

To add a touch of glam, use the Lakmé Ultimate Glam Eyeshadow Palette in Sunkissed and dab a golden eyeshadow onto your lids. Complete the look with a coat of the Lakmé Lash Boost Extreme Mascara to define and add volume to your lashes.

Finish with a natural yet elegant brown lipstick like the Lakmé Rouge Bloom Powder Matte Lipstick in the shade Cocoa Carnation. This timeless combination ensures you’ll glow with understated glam throughout the event.

To match this vibrant atmosphere, a soft glam makeup look is the way to go. Here’s how you can achieve it:

Begin by creating a radiant base with dewy skin and enhance your look with soft, bright tones. Sweep vibrant shades of peach or pink from the Lakmé Ultimate Glam Eyeshadow Palette in Sunkissed across your lids. For some shimmer, dab a touch of light gold on the inner corners of your eyes.

Add a natural glow to your complexion by applying Lakmé Absolute Facelift Palette soft bronzer shade along your cheekbones, temples, and jawline. This will give you a warm finish for that golden hour glow.

Next, define your lips by lining them with the Lakmé Ultimate Glam Lip Liner. Then let them rise and shine with a glossy, pink shade from the Lakmé Lakmé Glitterati Lip Glaze collection for a fresh look.
