Subdued hues, sultry eyes, flushed cheeks – this week’s beauty Instagrams saw A-listers putting their best foot forward, channelling ‘too glam to give a damn’ main character energy. The likes of Alia Bhatt, Sonakshi Sinha, and Sonam Kapoor rose to the occasion to serve us noteworthy looks, embracing trends that are reigning supreme in the beauty landscape. Let’s break it down for you, shall we? With our luxe recs, we trust you can cop these coveted makeup looks without a hitch.
Sonakshi Sinha: Neutral Glam
Doused in nudes and soft browns, Sonakshi took the minimal beauty trend up a notch with a neutral palette that complemented her gilded, black attire. Besides a perfectly arched, sculpted set of brows, she swiped on the nudest of nude lipsticks, mascara for fluttery lashes, and a soft, smokey eye makeup look that didn’t draw attention away from her ethnic outfit.
To recreate this look, we recommend Bobbi Brown’s Smokey Nudes Palette, which features a healthy mix of matte and metallic earthy tones, M.A.C’s revamped MACximal Silky Matte Lipstick in the shade Viva Equality that promises all-day hydration, and Huda Beauty’s 1 Coat Wow! Mascara for lifted, long, and voluminous lashes.

Janhvi Kapoor: Snatched Skin
In the midst of movie promotions for her upcoming film Mr. & Mrs. Mahi, Janhvi Kapoor hasn’t shied away from experimenting with her beauty looks or even her sartorial choices, for that matter. Recently, the actress was spotted sporting a snatched makeup look with chiselled cheekbones, a sculpted jawline, and perfectly filled-in brows.
To recreate this look, we recommend Benefit Cosmetics’ cult-favourite Goof Proof Eyebrow Pencil, Fenty Beauty’s Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer that’ll deliver irresistible shine, and Smashbox’s Step-by-Step Contour Kit to put the spotlight on your best features.

Alia Bhatt: Nod To K-Beauty
Everyone’s favourite Bollywood girl has gone global – and recently, for the Gucci Cruise 2025 Show at the Tate Museum in London, Alia Bhatt showcased global influences in her subtle yet striking look. Drawing on top K-beauty trends, Alia opted for glass skin, barely-there eye makeup, and bold oxblood lips to make a stellar statement. Dramatic lips warranted soft eye glam, and to recreate such a look, we recommend Anastasia Beverly Hills Magic Touch Concealer for touch-ups on the go, Guerlain’s highly pigmented Rouge G Velvet Metal Lipstick in the shade Noble Burgundy, and Dear Dahlia’s glow illuminator for the high points of the face.

Sonam Kapoor: Flushed Perfection
This soft-focus glam look celebrates the colour pink in all its glory – flushed cheeks, blush pink lids, and the perfect pink-ish-nude shade swiped across the lips. Pairing seamlessly with her cream attire, this makeup look is ideal for a casual brunch or fun weekend with the girls.
To recreate this look, we recommend the Dior Forever Glow Veil Hydration Radiance Primer for a dewy finish, Givenchy’s Prisme Libre Blush for a healthy, rosy glow, owing to the photochromic pigments, and the Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Luxury Palette for low-key, albeit sophisticated eye makeup.

Rakul Preet: Dewy Glow
Nothing screams subtle glam quite like a dewy finish featuring hints of shimmer. Newlywed Rakul Preet recently upped her makeup game with kohl-rimmed eyes, illuminating cheekbones, and a fresh, flawless base.
To recreate this look, we recommend Lancôme’s Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation, enriched with hydrating hyaluronic acid, the Estée Lauder Double Wear Infinite Waterproof Eyeliner with a soft smudge tip and built-in sharpener, and the Too Faced Moon Crush Highlighter for a dash of luminescence.
