We didn’t think Nykaaland 2.0 could get any better than its first edition, but boy, were we wrong.

Paint The Town Red With Tara
Move over hot girl summer, it’s time for racing red autumn. The fallen leaves, the changing colours, and the winter season, all call for a touch of deep-tonned red. This look from Tara Sutaria is a head-to-toe fire look that needs to be recreated. This look is all about the lips and the eyes, so start by detailing your eyes with a waterproof and smudge-proof kajal from Bobby Brown that lasts up to 24 hours, ideal for the concert season. Next, add some volume to your brows with the Bobbi Brown Brow Pencil, the chiselled tip lets you softly fill in your brows with the flat edge. Lastly, go for the Bobbi Brown Luxe Matte Liquid Lip in the shade – Red Carpet for that intense, smooth, ultra-comfortable colour.

Kill It like Kriti
If there’s someone who can serve a flawless no-makeup makeup look, it’s Kriti Sanon. Her dewy lips, pristine base, snatched brows, and slick bun are game-changers when it comes to minimal makeup looks. Start with the water and sweat-proof airbrush foundation from Swiss Beauty that mattifies the oil and cream base for a blurred finish. Add a touch of care to your makeup with Hyphen’s Vitamin Infused Peptide Lip Balm. Finally, set your hair with the Moxie Finishing Hair stick to pesky flyaways and baby hair in place for the clean-girl slick back.
