Why are we celebrating Janmashtami?

Janmashtami, also called Gokulashtami, is a very important festival that is joyfully celebrated mainly in India. He is believed to be a special form of God who came to Earth. Krishna was born in a jail cell because an evil king named Kamsa had imprisoned his parents. The story goes that he was born to stop Kamsa and bring goodness back to the world. Many people look up to Krishna because of his brave stories and wise words found in a book called The Bhagavad Gita. On Janmashtami, people remember these teachings and celebrate Krishna's life. 

List of Celeb-Inspired Janmashtami Makeup Looks for Indian Skin

While traditional attire is popular during this festival, complementing it with the right makeup can enhance the overall look. Taking inspiration from celebrities, here's a list of 7 makeup looks suitable for Janmashtami, especially tailored for Indian skin tones:

1. Deepika Padukone's Dewy Look

Deepika Padukone, a leading Indian actress, is renowned for her trendsetting 'Dewy Look'. This style radiates a fresh, youthful glow, blending natural and glam aesthetics. Accentuated with subtle highlighters and soft hues, this dewy finish mirrors Deepika's elegance, becoming a sought-after beauty standard for many. It epitomizes the allure of understated beauty.

How to Create Deepika Padukone's Dewy Makeup Look

1. Start with a moisturized face. Apply a hydrating primer to ensure a smooth canvas and longer-lasting makeup. Consider using a primer with light-reflecting particles for added glow.
2. Use a lightweight, dewy-finish foundation. Apply sparingly and blend well with a damp beauty sponge to achieve a natural, luminous finish.
3. Apply a liquid or cream highlighter to the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, brow bone, and cupid's bow.
4. Opt for cream-based blushes and bronzers. Apply them to the apples of your cheeks and the perimeters of your face respectively. Blend well to ensure there are no harsh lines.
5. Instead of setting your entire face with powder, just dab DE’LANCI Matte Loose Powder on areas prone to excessive shine or creasing, like under the eyes and around the nose. This will maintain the skin's natural glow.

2. Priyanka Chopra's Bold Lips

Priyanka Chopra is synonymous with style and confidence. Among her signature style statements is her iconic bold lip makeup. Marrying Hollywood glamor with contemporary flair, her vibrant lip shades exude empowerment and charisma. Let's delve into the allure of Priyanka's standout bold lips.

How to Create Priyanka Chopra's Bold Lips Makeup Look

1. Start by gently exfoliating your lips using a lip scrub or a soft toothbrush. This will remove any dead skin and create a smooth canvas. After exfoliating, apply a hydrating lip balm and let it absorb.
2. Lightly dab some foundation or concealer over your lips. This neutralizes your natural lip color, allowing the bold lipstick shade to stand out and also helps in prolonging the lipstick's wear.
3. Choose a lip liner that matches your bold lipstick shade. Carefully outline your lips, starting from the cupid's bow, ensuring precision as bold colors are less forgiving to mistakes. You can also fill in your entire lip with the liner to act as a base for your lipstick.
4. Use a lip brush for precision, and apply bold lipstick shade from the DE'LANCI Matte Lipstick set, starting from the center and moving outwards. Make sure to fill in every corner and edge for an even application
5. Use a clean, flat makeup brush or a cotton bud dipped in makeup remover or concealer to clean up any smudges around the lip line. This step will also help define the lips and make the bold color pop.

3. Alia Bhatt's Fresh-Faced Look

In the glitzy world of Bollywood, Alia Bhatt stands out not just for her stellar acting skills but also for her impeccable style statement. Among her many iconic looks, her fresh-faced appearance is a testament to her belief in minimalism and natural beauty.

Deep, intense, and reminiscent of ancient Indian beauty rituals, Sonam's kohl-rimmed eyes are a testament to the timeless allure of this classic makeup artistry.

 How do you achieve a traditional kohl-eyed look?

1. Start by applying an eyeshadow primer or a dab of concealer over your eyelids to ensure the kohl stays in place and doesn't smudge excessively.

3. Now, focusing on how to apply liquid eyeshadow; gently apply the eyeshadow using a brush or your fingertips on your eyelids, blending it evenly. The color should complement the kohl, creating a harmonious look
4. Gently line the upper lash line with the kohl, starting from the inner corner and moving outward, thickening the line slightly as you reach the outer corner.
5. Now use a smudging brush or a cotton swab, and softly smudge the kohl on the lower and upper lash lines for a slightly smokey and blended look. This gives the traditional, slightly smudged appearance.
6. Finish off with a coat of volumizing mascara on your lashes to add drama and enhance the kohl effect.

5. Anushka Sharma's Earthy Tones
