Whether it’s a Sanjay Leela Bhansali saga or the warmth of an Imtiaz Ali film, there’s nothing our Bollywood queen, Deepika Padukone can’t pull off. Over the years, she has embodied several roles and each time, it’s been a treat for her fans. As we eagerly wait for Padukone’s looks for her upcoming sports drama film, 83, let’s take a moment to look back at some her most iconic looks through the years.
1. Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela
Deepika Padukone’s Ram-Leela look is one of her most impressive ones so far. Her casually tied-back hair helped accentuate her features. Whether it’s her perfectly filled eyebrows or the subtle pink flush on her cheeks, her makeup is spot on. Instead of a typical eyeliner, Padukone is seen wearing, kohl and brown eyeshadow that helped enhance her eyes.

5. Cocktail
Admit it or not, we’ve all been enamoured by and wept for Deepika in Cocktail. Her outfits in the film were glamorous and her makeup was flawless. If you wish to try this makeup look at home, you’ll need to ensure that you go heavy on the eyes by tightlining with a kohl eyeliner. Mascara, too, is essential but don’t forget to use a good eyelash curler before applying it. Lastly, what really stole the show was Deepika’s eyeshadow, so make sure to get yourself a palette with some shimmer.

6. Chandni Chowk to China
In Chandni Chowk To China, Deepika Padukone’s winged eyeliner, along with the nude eyeshadow, added depth to her face. Her magenta lips and her sharply defined eyebrows went well together. None of this could have been possible without a good base. To create one you’d need a primer, a full coverage, long-lasting foundation, and a concealer that promise to cover problematic areas.

7. Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Who can forget Deepika Padukone’s iconic saree look from Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani? Exactly. That blue saree and black sleeveless blouse was a breathtaking combination. Since this look involves minimal jewelry, it’s very important to get the makeup right. Make sure you start with a flawless base and then move on to some mascara for the eyes, some undereye concealer, a light pink or nude lipstick, bronzer for a warm glow, and a little bit of blush.
