With India’s biggest birthday party underway, it comes as no surprise that Nykaa’s very own muse, Janhvi Kapoor, masters her makeup game. Clean and understated, yet très chic, the glam is right up my alley – and I’d like to speak on behalf of all minimal beauty girls. If you’ve been scrolling through the ’Gram in dire need of inspiration, we’ve got your back, birthday babe. Janhvi’s look is uber-glamourous and can be recreated in just a few simple steps; we walk you through it with her favourite Nykaa Cosmetics products.
Ace Your Base
Commence skin prep – a simple CSMS routine – before you begin your base makeup. For a flawless, spotless canvas that camouflages all your blemishes, opt for a mattifying, pore-minimising foundation, followed by a budge-proof concealer. Lock in your look and blot away excess sebum with a suitable setting powder.
Let Your Eyes Do The Talking
Janhvi opted for neutral eye makeup – which will pair well with any birthday outfit of your choice. A subtle smokey eye is just enough to make a stellar beauty statement without going overboard, and then some brown kohl along your waterline for that extra oomph.
Get Your Glow On
No look is complete without flushed cheeks and a lit-from-within glow. Nykaa Cosmetics’ Glow Getter Highlighting & Illuminating Duo Palette features two luminescent shades infused with light-diffusing pigments for a snatched look. Swipe the highlighter along the high points of your face to focus attention on your best features.
Lips Don’t Lie
A pink pout is perhaps the perfect way to complete your soft-glam look. In the era of high-shine lips, swap your lipstick for a plumping gloss to draw all attention to your pucker. For an ultra-defined appearance, rely on the modest lip liner in a nude shade.
