Stepwise Makar Sankranti Makeup Look 

1. Base makeup 

For every makeup look to stand out or look perfect, you need to ace your base makeup. The first step is to cleanse and moisturise your face well. Once that is done, use a primer to create a smooth canvas for the rest of your Sankranti makeup. Then, apply foundation to get an even complexion and smooth texture. Say goodbye to tired-looking eyes by highlighting certain parts of your face like your eye contours and the top of your cheekbones and banish the blemishes with a concealer. Finally, lock your base makeup and control shine, oil and sweat with powder. If you are not sure of your foundation, concealer, or powder shade, try the Maybelline Foundation Finder tool and find your perfect match by answering a few simple questions.

2. Face Makeup 

Your Makar Sankranti makeup will be incomplete without a blusher. Use blush to give your skin a naturally flushed look or a pop of colour that makes you look fresh and healthy. Go for a bold look or just add a hint of colour if you are someone who loves the no-makeup makeup look or wants it to look natural. Further, enhance your natural radiance, add a glow to your face makeup, and spotlight to your features with a highlighter. This will help you enjoy a luminous glow from within and create a show-stopping Makar Sankranti makeup look. 

 

Our picks -  

 

• Blush – Maybelline Fit Me Mono Blush 

• Highlighter – Maybelline Facestudio Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter 

3. Eye makeup 

Believe it or not, your eyebrows tie your entire makeup look together and they can also make or break your final Makar Sankranti makeup look. From light and natural-looking to a defined and thick brow, the eyebrow pencil is everything you need. So, start by filling in sparse or uneven brows. Then, colour your eyelids with a nude, or shimmery eyeshadow. If you wish to go a mile extra, create the smokey eye look or the cut-crease look. To define your eyes and create a dramatic eye impact, use eyeliner or kajal or both. Finish off your eye makeup by adding a few coats of waterproof mascara to your lashes.  

 

Our picks -  

 

• Eyebrow – Maybelline Fashion Brow Cream Pencil 

• Eyeshadow – Maybelline Nudes Eyeshadow Palette 

• Eyeliner – Maybelline Colossal Bold Liner 

• Kajal – Maybelline Colossal Kajal 24 Hr

4. Lip makeup 

Applying lipstick isn’t enough, you need to prevent your lips from feeling chapped or dried. Begin your lip makeup by using a nourishing lip balm to heal, soothe and protect your pout from the sun. For a soft “your lips but better” look, you can go for a tinted lip balm. Next, colour your pout with nude lipstick or go full glam with bold red lipstick. Choose a shade that will complement your skin tone and undertone to rock your Makar Sankranti makeup look. 

 

Our picks -  

 

• Lip balm – Maybelline Baby Lips Lipcare OR Maybelline Baby Lips Loves Color Lip Balm 

• Lipstick – Maybelline Sensational Liquid Matte Lipstick OR Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lipstick
