Diwali is one of the most exciting, fun and happening festival of the year. While the houses are being decorated and outfits are being decided, it’s also necessary to decide what your beauty look would be like. For some, like me, who like to keep it simple but statement-worthy, it comes down to accentuating just one area of the face—be it the smokey eye, highlighted cheekbones, coloured liner and so on.

So, if your eye makeup and base will be more towards the natural and subtle route, try one of these lip colours to make you stand out this Diwali and be your own phataka!

1. A burgundy red
