From killer smokey eyes to dramatic bindis, these are a must-have this Navratri.
So, grab those dandiya sticks, serve intense looks and twirl like Leela, (Deepika Padukone in Ramleela)! Whether you’re a Garba queen or just doing it for Instagram, make sure your makeup is on point! So, have a look at how you can get the ultimate Garba/Dandiya makeup look in 2024.
Smokey Eyes: The Main Character
Your eyes are the real star of the show; for a bold, captivating look, go full smokey drama. Begin by applying a deep brown or black shadow to your lids, smoothing it out so it merges easily with black eyeliner, then smoking out the lower lash line for an appealing look.
Finish it off with winged eyeliner, but don’t stop there. To make your eyes stand out, add little bindis or just draw some designs with eyeliner. (Yes, you read it right!) Make it look like Indian Maddy coded (Euphoria), perfect for those Instagram selfies.
BBG: Bold bindi game
No Garba outfit is complete without a statement bindi. Keep it traditional but stylish by opting for bold ways such as round bindis with detailed liner detailing on the sides; little rhinestones can also be added to increase the glam factor. Just trust the process and make sure the bindi is in the centre of your forehead, or not, maybe you can do it differently and become the trend yourself!
Nude lips for the win
When the eyes are doing all the talking, your lips might relax a little. If you still don’t know, it means doing nude lips with bold eyes. Choose a matte nude lipstick that is close to your natural tone with a hint of gloss. It’s all about balance; you don’t want your lips to compete with your eyes.
Game changer silver jewellery
Okay, this is where we bring the drama. Pile on the silver jewellery – large statement earrings, huge necklaces, and all the rings you can find. Silver oxidised accessories are everything when it comes to the Garba look, making you feel like a Leela straight out of Ramleela.
Pro tip: Always make sure to use numbing cream before wearing those big chunky earrings, otherwise after day 1 you won’t even feel like wearing them and that’s exactly how you will ruin the most exciting days of the year.
