The festival of lights is here! We adore dressing up in our finest Indian clothes and jewellery, but what we love the most is experimenting with our makeup. From cat eyes to deep lips, these 5 celebrities are here to give you major makeup inspiration.

1. Karisma Kapoor

Diwali makeup is often clubbed together with gold eye shadow. Which is exactly why we love Karisma’s shimmery teal shadow. Unexpected, bold and glamorous, a sweep of this hue is bound to brighten up any look. Finish off your look with a soft lip and fierce brows.

2. Sonam Kapoor

If classic, clean lines are more your style, then Sonam’s makeup is definitely for you. Her vivid, red lips go perfectly with that precisely winged liner. Try out an updo like hers to really highlight your makeup.

3. Alia Bhatt

Since winter hasn’t set in yet, we all run the risk of looking like a sweaty mess. Go with a minimal makeup look like Alia’s to avoid looking like a grease slick. The wow factor? Smudged, navy blue liner on your lower lash line.

4. Aditi Rao Hydari

Although we love glamming up, we can’t deny the beauty of natural looking makeup. Use a creamy pink blush and ample amounts of highlighter to imitate Aditi’s gorgeous, glowing skin. Don’t forget to finish up with two coats of black mascara!

5. Deepika Padukone

Is there any beauty list complete without Deepika? We don’t think so! Although this stunner had worn this look with a pretty gold dress, the makeup can be paired beautifully with your traditional outfits. Use a dark, oxblood shade on your lips and a touch of brown eyeshadow to get this look. Flushed cheeks are optional.

So, which look are you going to flaunt this Diwali?
