Ambika Pillai has earned and held onto the reputation of being one of the countrys best make-up artists for almost three decades. Her understanding of beauty goes beyond current fads and instead, explores the context of the beauty world and its evolution. Crowned Best Make Up Artist by Vogue, and awardee of Bharat Nirman Super Achievers Award, Ambika Pillai, forecasts the make-up trends for this season and tips on how to recreate them
1. Au Naturel
Enhance your features with a minimal look that will leave you looking fresh and radiant. Add a hint of colour on the cheeks and complement it with subtle contouring to amplify the dimension of your face. Fresh and clean eyes with a hint of colour to the lips will guarantee a look of understated elegance.
2. Colour Craze
Add a splash of colour with shades of bright berry, pink or fuchsia on the lips or a bright blue eyeliner for the eyes. For a statement look, wear a touch of vivid green eyeshadow on either the upper lid or the outer corner of the eye.
3.Give me wings
From Twiggys signature hooded look to Monroes classic wing, the eyeliner has singlehandedly created memorable looks through periods of history. This season, wear a dramatic eyeliner and pair it with a soft and neutral colour on the lips.
4.In the Pink
Think pink this season by adding a bright shade on the cheeks for a fantastic flush of colour. The versatility of this colour that ranges from a dusty pink pastel to its shade that borders on coral, pink will illuminate the face instantly.
5.Lash Out
With generous use of mascara, create an exotic frame for the eyes with luscious lashes. Go a step further and experiment with a variety of mascaras and subtle false lashes.
6. Lady in Red
For time immemorial, the red lipstick has been the savior of many looks. Take this age-old hack a step ahead by pairing luminous skin with a bright matte lipstick in the shade of brick red, fuchsia, orange, dark cherry or the classic scarlet.
