The silver screen is all about fantasy. You look at all those beautiful divas on the screen and wonder—‘why can’t I look this good?’ We all are floored by watching Bollywood stars on the screen. The way they look, the way they dress—it is all so ‘out of reach’. Come on, confess, how many times have you desired to look as gorgeous as them? Their ethereal, flawless beauty is something we all desire for. But those beautiful women you see on the screen are not just the work of God, they are the result of the work of a good makeup artist! You got that right—good makeup can transform the way one looks—from the ugly duckling into the beautiful swan!
Wish to recreate the same gorgeousness for you? No worries, here is a gorgeous, vibrant makeup inspired by our very own Bollywood! With this tutorial, you can give voice to the diva in you!
Start by applying an eye primer to prevent eyeshadows from creasing. Then, apply cello tape at the outer corner of your eye by connecting it in a line to the brow bone. This tape will act as a guideline in creating a sharp edge to the eye makeup. Then, apply a hot pink satin finished eyeshadow to the crease area and softly blend it out. Here, I used the Lakme Stylish eyeshadow in Pink Wink.
Then, apply a black gel eyeliner to the outer corners of the eye and then also follow your crease area of the eye. This step need not be neat as we will be smudging the eyeliner later. Here, I used the Lotus Herbals Kajal in black.
Apply a shimmery purplish pink eyeshadow in satin finish over the black kajal, which was applied earlier. Then, use a smaller dome shaped crease brush and blend the kajal with the eyeshadow to achieve a seamless finish. Here, I used a hot purplish ink eyeshadow from 120 eyeshadow palette.
Apply a shimmery yellow gold eyeshadow to the innermost corner of the eye and also bring it slightly towards the one third eye area. You can dampen your eyeshadow brush slightly with water to build up rich color intensity of the eyeshadow.
Then, choose a satiny peach-like coral eyeshadow and place it on the two third of your eye area. Pat the eyeshadow gently and avoid sweeping motion as usually done to get good color intensity. Then, use a blending brush and sweep it across the crease area to give a soft smokey look to the eyes.
As the eyeshadow in the crease will look slightly faded after blending, you can go back and take the same hot pink shade used earlier and define the crease again.
Apply the same shimmery gold eyeshadow to the innermost corner of the lower lash line and the purplish hot pink eyeshadow to the rest of the lower lash line. Complete the eye look with mascara and line your eyes to define your eyes. I created a dramatic winged eye liner look to bring in the bold and intense look seen in Bollywood actors. If you like subtler look, then you can go for a normal eyeliner look. Here, I used the same Lotus Herbals kajal and Loreal million lashes mascara.
And you are done. Wow, look at you! You look ready for the silver screen. But who needs the silver screen when our lives are full of dreams and hopes! With this makeup tutorial, you can be the goddess of your own life! That’s just the way it should be!
So, what are you waiting for? Try this bollywood eye make up today and become the diva!
