So, get ready to take your makeup game to the next level by recreating these gorgeous Navratri makeup looks.  

9 Navratri Makeup Looks

1. No-makeup makeup look

To nail the no makeup makeup look, use a dewy primer to add a luminous glow to your complexion. We recommend skipping foundation and going straight in with concealer for a natural finish. Get a flawless Dandiya makeup look by finding your perfect concealer shade match with the Maybelline Foundation Finder tool. Next, give your skin a natural flush by adding the tiniest amount of blush to the apples of your cheeks. Also, go easy on the eyes, try to keep them simple and almost bare. Keep your lip makeup subtle by applying a tinted lip balm to enhance the natural colour of your lips. 

2. Orange monochrome look

Monochrome makeup is universally flattering as you can play around with a lot of different shades to create magic. Start by doing your face makeup as usual and then add a pop of coral to your cheeks using the Maybelline Fit Me Mono Blush. Next, simply reuse your blush and sweep it across your eyelids and finish off your monochrome Navratri makeup look by wearing orange or coral lipstick. 

3. Shimmery eyes

Keep your base makeup simple and take your eye makeup a notch higher by adding lots of shimmer. Start by shaping your eyebrows and then use the Maybelline City Mini Eyeshadow Palette to create a shimmery touch. Complete your look with kajal to define your eyes and enhance their beauty. 

4. Dramatic eyes

Add drama to your eyes by using dark eyeshadow shades such as blacks and browns from the Maybelline Blushed Nudes Eyeshadow Palette. Complement this intense Dandiya makeup look by lining your upper lash line with Maybelline Tattoo Studio Smokey Eye Black Eyeliner to brighten your eyes. Use the Maybelline New York Lash Lift Waterproof Mascara to flaunt lifted, thick, and long lashes with no clumps, smears, or flakes! Complete your Navratri or Dussehra makeup by adding some Maybelline New York Sensational Liquid Matte Nude Lipstick that flatters your complexion. 

5. Colourful eyes

Use vibrant green eyeshadow from the Maybelline New City Mini Eyeshadow Palette – Central Park Brights to create a show-stopping eye makeup look and pair it with a Tattoo Studio Sharpenable Gel Pencil Blue Eyeliner on your lower lash line if you want to go the extra mile. You can pair this Navratri makeup look with Color Sensational Creamy Matte Fuchsia Lipstick and have fun with contrasting colours. 

6. The 90s look

Bring back the 90s with the Maybelline Colossal Bold Liner and pair it with the Maybelline Colossal Waterproof Mascara. SuperStay Ink Crayon Brown lipsticks were all the rage back in the day, so complete your Navratri special makeup by picking the right brown lipstick shade that suits your skin tone and undertone, and you are all set to be a 90s diva. 

7. Modern look 

For creating a modern Navratri, Durga Puja or Dussehra makeup look, get your glow on by using a highlighter for some dazzling shine. Next, use the Maybelline Hyper Glossy Liquid Liner to experiment with some unique graphic eyeliner styles and finish this look with a Maybelline Color Sensational Ultimattes Soft Matte Lipstick in your favourite shade. 

8. Traditional look 

Rule the night by adding gold to your eyes! Customise your eye makeup with the glistening shades of the Maybelline Nudes Eyeshadow Palette, which consists of dazzling colours infused with metallic gold pigments. Add a regal touch to your lips by wearing classic red lipstick and get ready to be treated like royalty all night.

For a glamorous Dussehra makeup look, use bronze and deep brown eyeshadow shades from the Maybelline New City Mini Eyeshadow Palette – Brooklyn Orange and add intense drama to your eyes by outlining them with the Maybelline Colossal Kajal Super Black. Next, use the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara for thick and voluminous lashes that won't leave streaks down your face as you dance the night away.
