Malaika’s Glitter & Glam Look
Malaika Arora sported a romantic maroon lehenga with heavy embellishments designed by Varun Chakkilam. Her golden and bronze glitter makeup paired perfectly with the grandeur of her lehenga. Flawless base and light natural contouring were the highlights of her look. Nude lips, strobe glow and bronze glitter smoky eyes are what you need to get the exact look.
Tips to get this look
- While creating the eye look, opt for a black or brown kohl as base and add the bronze shimmer shadow on top of it.
- You can also opt for natural-looking false lashes.
Kareenas’s Nature-Inspired Look
This year Kareena appeared as designer Amit Aggarwal’s showstopper on the final day of LFW. She donned an emerald green plunge neck dress inspired by futuristic biomimicry. Keeping up with the naturalistic note, her makeup was muted and minimal. The main feature of the makeup is well-blended highlight and contour.
Tips to get this look

Bipasha’s Diva Look
Bips rocked the ramp hand in hand with her hubby Karan Singh Grover in a black and gold zari-work Assamese Mekhela Chador designed by Sanjukta Dutta. Her intense kohled eyes and bold red lips added retro splendour to her traditional delicate brocade-work silk attire. The makeup is kind of universal and you can wear it with any traditional dress.
Tips to get this look

Dia Mirza was seen in a light-work peach lehenga by House of Kotwara. The abstract foliage motifs in the lehenga brought a celestial glory and freshness to the look.

- Apply a fresh peach blush.
- Smear peach toned matte lipstick to bring a fresh vibe to the look.

To balance out the red and white layered and structured lehenga from Ira collection, makeup artist Tanuja Dabir went for a flushed cheek look with well-defined eyes.
