From Diwali pujas and card parties to wedding festivities, this time of the year usually means packed calendars, delicious indulgences, and days filled with loved ones and bonhomie. The slightly less enjoyable part of these few months? Figuring out what exactly to do your hair and make-up for the many soirées lined up.
If you’re in need of some beauty inspiration, you only have to look to Bollywood’s leading ladies. Sonam Kapoor and Jacqueline Fernandez nail traditional low buns heaped with strings of fragrant mogra, perfect for a formal event like the pheras or Laxmi Puja. Athiya Shetty, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Sonakshi Sinha and Esha Gupta keep it fresh with light make-up, a pop of colour and blow-drys; a great look for family brunches and mehendis. If traditional is not the way you want to go, Deepika Padukone’s oxblood lip, Neha Dhupia’s faux bob, or Karisma Kapoor’s twisted ponytails will be completely in place at a card party or a friend’s cocktail.
