What Are the Stunning Garba Makeup Look Ideas for 2025?

In this quick Garba makeup lookbook, we have collated different makeup looks focusing on face, eye, and lip. Pick any of this look or combine to have all eyes on you this Navratri.

1. No-makeup makeup look

Face Makeup

To nail the ‘no-makeup’ makeup look, use a dewy primer to add a luminous glow to your complexion. We recommend using skin tint and covering blemishes with concealer for a natural finish. Next, give your skin a natural flush by adding the tiniest amount of blush to the apples of your cheeks.

Eye Makeup

Go easy on the eyes and apply only mascara. You can also tightline your upper lash line with kajal as an optional step.

Lip Makeup

Keep your lip makeup subtle by applying a tinted lip balm to enhance the natural colour of your lips. You can also use a cheek and lip tint to add a subtle flush to your traditional Navratri makeup.

2. Orange Monochrome Look

Face Makeup

Monochrome makeup is universally flattering, as you can utilize one colour to create magic. Start by doing your face makeup as usual with your go-to foundation, and then add a pop of coral blush to your cheeks.

Eye Makeup

Next, simply reuse your blush and sweep it across your eyelids.

Lip Makeup

Finish off your monochrome traditional Navratri makeup look by wearing orange or coral lipstick.

3. Ethnic Look

Face Makeup

Keep your base makeup glowy. Get the golden hour glow with a multi-tasking highlighter + blush

Rule the night by adding gold to your eyes! Customise your eye makeup with the glistening nude eyeshadow shades. Top it off with metallic gold pigments for that festive vibe.

Lip Makeup

Add a regal touch to your lips by wearing classic red lipstick and get ready to be treated like royalty all night, thanks to your traditional Navratri makeup.

Face Makeup

Prep your skin and apply primer. Add a thin layer of full-coverage foundation, concealer, blend well, and set with powder.

For a full-glam traditional Navratri makeup look, use bronze and deep brown eyeshadow shades.  Add intense drama to your eyes by outlining intense black kajal. Next, use the volumizing + lengthening mascara.

5. Shimmery Eyes

Face Makeup

Keep the base for your Garba makeup simple. Apply foundation, concealer, and highlighter as usual.

Garba makeup calls for some extra shine and glitter. Prep your eyelids using concealer or eyeshadow primer.
