What Are The 5 Festive Makeup Looks To Try This Season?

Choosing a festive look often comes down to your preferred colors, the occasion, and the finish you want to achieve. If you too have wondered, “How can I do festival makeup that suits Indian skin tones?”, start by considering how warm, rosy, berry, and neutral shades complement your complexion and outfit. These festive makeup looks range from fresh and effortless to polished and statement-making, with Maybelline's celebrity- and creator-inspired looks offering different ways to approach your festive beauty.

 

 

1. Kiara’s Festive Glam: How To Create The Look?

Whether you are getting ready for a family celebration, festive party, puja, or night out, the right makeup for festivals can set the mood. Kiara’s Festive Glam brings together the polished details that make festival makeup looks feel instantly dressed up. Think an even-looking matte base, warm cheeks, softly defined rosy eyes, lifted lashes, and a glossy berry lip.

 

Begin with a smooth, even-looking base makeup using Maybelline Superstay Matte Max Cushion Foundation. Then add warmth with Sunkisser Highlighter + Blush – Downtown Rush for an instant golden hour glow. For the eyes, sweep in rosy definition with The New City Mini Eyeshadow Palette – Westside Roses and finish with Lash Sensational Sky Tubes Mascara for a subtle eye look.

 

For the finishing touch of this festival makeup, reach for Superstay Vinyl Ink Mithai Limited Edition – Berry Barfi. Part of the limited-edition Mithai collection, the shade is inspired by Indian mithai and brings saturated color with a high-shine vinyl finish to the look. The 16-hour Mithai-proof formula is designed to resist transfer, fading, feathering, and smudging, making it a fitting choice for a celebration that keeps going. The berry color works beautifully with traditional silhouettes, embellished details, and evening celebrations.

2. Desi Girl Glow With Ishani: How To Create The Look?

If softer festive makeup look is more your style, take inspiration from Ishani Mitra’s Desi Girl look. The makeup look keeps things fresh, rosy, and effortless, with a polished complexion, defined lashes, and a soft lip instead of dramatic color or intense definition.

 

Create a polished-looking complexion with Super Stay Lumi Matte Foundation and add definition to the eyes with Lash Sensational Sky Tubes Mascara. Complete the look with Superstay Vinyl Ink Mithai Limited Edition in Rose Rabri, one of five limited-edition Mithai shades inspired by Indian sweets. Its vibrant color and vinyl shine add a festive touch without taking away from the soft, rosy mood.

3. Leisha Patidar’s Bold Showstopper Look: How To Create The Look?

For festival makeup looks with a little more attitude, Showstopper Bold puts rich color at the heart of the look. Rather than relying on elaborate eye makeup, the statement comes from the contrast between polished skin, warm cheeks, defined lashes, and bold cherry lip.

 

Start with Superstay Matte Max Cushion Foundation for a polished-looking full-coverage matte base and bring warmth to the cheeks with Sunkisser Highlighter + Blush – Shades On. For the festive eye makeup, go for defined eyelashes with Lash Sensational Sky Tubes Mascara, then make the lips the focal point with Superstay Vinyl Ink Mithai Limited Edition in Cherry Ras. Its saturated color and high-shine vinyl finish bring an instantly striking quality to the look, while the Mithai-proof, sweat-proof, transfer-proof, and smudge-proof positioning makes it suited to celebrations that go on for hours.

4. Kayan’s Festive IT-Girl Look: How To Create The Look?

Kayan A’s Festive IT-Girl Look takes a more fashion-forward approach to festive makeup, using sharp definition and warm dimension without making the overall look feel heavy. The defining detail is the eyeliner, paired with polished skin complexion and a sophisticated lip makeup.

 

Apply Super Stay Lumi Matte Foundation for a fresh-looking glowy base and follow with Sunkisser Highlighter + Blush – Midnight Shimmer for radiant sheen on the cheeks. Use Tattoo Liner 48h Liquid Pen to give the eyes a clean, defined edge, and finish with Lash Sensational Sky Tubes Mascara.

 

Complete the look with Superstay Vinyl Ink Mithai Limited Edition in Nutty Halwa. The limited-edition shade brings the Mithai collection's festive color story into the sharper eye definition and gives the look a refined finish that works beautifully with contemporary festive dressing.

 

Create this makeup during festival and pair with a contemporary lehenga, sleek saree, or statement jewelry. It feels festive without looking overly traditional - a little more fashion-forward, a little less expected.

5. Desi Girl Glam: How To Create The Look?

Rida Tharana’s Desi Girl Glam brings just the right amount of definition for festive evenings, pairing warm cheeks and softly blended eyes with lifted lashes and a rich berry lip.

 

Start with a polished-looking base using Superstay Matte Max Cushion Foundation. It offers 30H of full coverage without oxidizing or settling into fine lines. For a ‘lit-from-within glow’, apply Sunkisser Highlighter + Blush – Downtown Rush. Build softly blended warmth on the eyes with The City Mini Eyeshadow Palette – 5th Avenue Sunset, and finish with Lash Sensational Sky Tubes Mascara for defined lashes.

 

Make the lips the finishing statement with Superstay Vinyl Ink Mithai Limited Edition in Berry Barfi. Its saturated color and high-shine vinyl finish add a festive touch that works especially well with traditional outfits, statement jewelry, and evening celebrations.

 

There is no one way to get festive-ready. Maybe it is a swipe of bold color, softly defined eyes, a warm cheek, or a lip that does all the talking. Now that you know how to wear makeup during festivals, take inspiration from these looks and explore Maybelline’s festive collection to create your own.
