The week that is most awaited by Indians everywhere, every year is finally just around the corner.
I have been counting down days to Diwali and I know you have been too, especially this time around. Diwali could not come any sooner, with everything happening around and I know you have been itching to just unwind, dress up, and finally celebrate with loved ones- with all precautions, of course.
There is no better holiday than the festival of lights to get dressed in your best clothes, bedazzling jewellery, and of course a full face of makeup.

If you are wondering who is going to see all that makeup beneath that mask of yours, I am here to remind you that wearing makeup is not just for others to see, but also for yourself- for you to feel beautiful and confident in your skin. Plus, do not underestimate the power of good eye makeup.
Being a festival that’s celebrated all over the country, Diwali comes with many different and exciting traditions in each place. While selecting your outfit and festive makeup look should complement your style of celebrating Diwali, this does not have to be as intimidating as it seems. With the right guidance and the perfect Makeup Products, getting that exquisite look for your Diwali parties should be a breeze. Being a long-time makeup geek, I have come to find out which products are best suited for my Indian skin, and makeup and skincare products from Colorbar Cosmetics tops my list.
Since your eyes are going to be getting the most attention this festive season, let us focus on eye makeup, while being careful to not neglect the rest of your face. Nothing screams festive look as Smoky eye makeup does. Let’s take it up a notch this time by adding a bit of a shimmer to your classic smoky eye, because why not, it is Diwali after all.
Before we get lost in the nitty-gritty of our new smoky-shimmery festive look, let me guide you through the most important part of your makeup routine- prepping your skin!
Preparing your skin before applying a full face of makeup is important, because not only does your makeup sit well on a fresh face, but it also protects your skin from unwanted side-effects. If you are a newbie to this routine, I have got you covered. Start with cleaning your face with your cleanser. If you find yourself short of one, check out Fresh Start Water Cleanser from Colorbar Cosmetics. Follow this up with a toner of your choice, to remove any remaining dirt and prep your skin for makeup. Complete this with your favourite moisturizer. Moisturizing is especially important as it helps your skin stay hydrated throughout and gives you that beautiful, dewy look. Pay attention to the needs of your skin and pick a moisturizer that suits you best.
Onto the makeup- let us start with a primer. Using a primer helps you smoothen your skin out, tighten those pores, and hide any blemishes you may have. Check out the Flawless Finish Primer for a luminous start to your Diwali makeup.
Moving on, choose a shade of foundation that complements your skin tone the best and apply them in spots over the skin of your face and neck, and blend it in uniformly using Blend-itude makeup sponge. Next, pick out a shade of the Flawless Full Coverage Concealer that matches your skin, and apply it in areas where you think you need to hide away slight imperfections- like under your eyes, around your mouth, on your forehead and such. Again, blend it in smoothly. Lock this in using a setting spray.
Lets finally get to the eyes, our stars of the week. Start by filling in your brows using Browful Shaping and Defining kit to get perfectly sculpted looking eyebrows. Filling in eyebrows helps you frame your face better and complements any look. For eyeshadows, use a combination of Smokey Eyeshadow Palette and Glitter Me All Dreamland Eyeshadow Palette for the ultimate smokey-shimmery festive Diwali look. Start by choosing a sober shade for your eyelids, and apply it thoroughly across both your lids. Pick a slightly shimmery eyeshadow, and use it to highlight the brow bones and the inner corner of your eyelids. Next, choose a shade from the palette to blend in your outer corners and the crease and apply a soft layer on them gently smoking it out, following this up by using the same shade for the lower lash line. To complete the smokey eye, pick a dark shade from the palette using a clean Q-tip, or a thin brush and carefully pull out a wing from the inner corner through the outer corner of the eyelids. Lock this wing in using the Just Smokey Kajal. Use this same shade of eyeshadow to smoke out this wing, and on your lower lash line to finish it off.
