If you’re looking to elevate your beauty game this season, Bollywood celebrities are the perfect source of inspiration. Known for setting trends that quickly become fan favorites, their signature styles often include everything from dramatic winged liners and radiant, red carpet-worthy skin to those irresistible nude lips we all love. These Bollywood-inspired makeup looks are not only glamorous but also easy to recreate, making them a must-try for anyone wanting to add a touch of star power to their routine.
1. Bold graphic holographic liners
Holographic liners with graphics are popular because they give any outfit a futuristic twist. Consider the striking, avant-garde eye makeup popular in Bollywood’s high-end music videos and red-carpet performances. An extended floating crease or a double-winged liner can immediately produce a striking, dramatic impression.
An emerald green, royal blue or brilliant purple lash line sweep creates a captivating colour shift for the eyes. If you wear graphic eye makeup, balance the look with neutral lip colour and keep the rest of your makeup simple.
2. 90s revival brown lips
Brown lipstick is making a big comeback and gives any outfit a touch of nostalgia. Gen Zers are closely following the ‘trend wagon’ that the 90s infants are drawn to, which includes colours like rich chocolate, warm caramel, and deep mocha. I advise applying a slightly deeper lip liner to brown lipstick to accentuate the curve and give the appearance of bigger lips. Gloss can detract from its historical look, but satin or matte finishes keep it sleek and contemporary.
3. Feathered brows for a lifted effect
Since feathered brows provide a softer and more natural alternative to elaborately sculpted arches, they are the new attractive standard. Bollywood has had enough of arched, naturally thick yet defined, and skinny, sharply arched brows. Today’s celebs embrace naturally framed faces with more prominent, feathery brows.
Its fresh and youthful charm contributes to the preference. A sturdy brow gel that lifts and fixes the hair is essential to getting this style. For a lifted look, brush the brows outward and upward. Use a pencil or powder if necessary to lightly fill any sparse areas.
4. Soft natural blush in warm tones
Bollywood has changed its approach to blush over the years to reflect the various movie eras. By experimenting with blushes, the beauty industry has produced some creative and modern styles, from the orangey bronze blush of the 1970s and the heavy pink aesthetic of the 1980s to the terracotta, grunge, and earthy tones that inspired the 1990s and early 2000s.
In today’s changing beauty scene, warm bronzes and peachy pinks are the colours to attempt. But don’t limit yourself to showcasing the positive aspects of life. For a naturally raised appearance, blend a little higher towards the temples. With options like cream or liquid formulas, you can effortlessly achieve a smooth finish that dissolves into the skin for a fresh look.
5. Subtle contouring for a soft sculpted look
The global beauty business has gradually shifted towards natural appearances, and many young people in Bollywood are following suit. Heavy contouring is no longer popular. They like softer, more organic sculpts that accentuate their features without being overtly noticeable. This can be accomplished using a cream contour for effortless blending in a shade close to your natural tone. For a faint definition, blend nicely under the cheekbones, along the jawline, and gently on the nose.
From glowing skin to bold lips, these Bollywood-inspired makeup looks offer something for every mood and occasion. Whether you’re heading to a festive event or just want to switch up your daily glam, let your favorite stars guide the way this season. Time to channel your inner diva!
