THE MUST-HAVE DIWALI VANITY KIT THAT EVERY GIRL NEEDS

Diwali is a pray a little, eat more and look your best festival—and when you know that the last of those three—looking good—is a big part of the program you’ve got to ensure you’re well-armed with a vanity kit that can do that festive wardrobe some justice! Here is our list of the few make up essentials that will see you through multiple poojas, temple visits and family dinners…

The Fair and Lovely BB Cream

Diwali is those five days of the year when you must look #festiveselfie ready at all times. But then you can’t possibly live in makeup through the day, that’s why you need to rely on something that will give you the same pay off that makeup does without having to cake your skin. Our suggestion? The Fair and Lovely BB Cream that has max coverage, is super light and also comes with SPF 15 which means your skin looks good and also stays protected, something that the BeautyonDuty beauty bloggers Kritika and Priyal discovered just in time for Diwali!

The Lakmé Absolute Gloss Artist 

If there is one product that can single handedly take your look from drab to fab it’s eyeliner—and the Lakmé Absolute Gloss is your best bet. It’s the darkest black that renders a glossy finish in just one stroke and with a super fine tip you can experiment with as many looks as you want. Hello Diwali party, hello dramatic winged eyes!

The Lakmé Absolute Drama Stylist Shadow Crayon 

Lakmé’s Absolute Drama Stylist Shadow Crayon is custom made for occasions like Diwali when you will have your hands full with the poojas and the guests while wanting to look your best. This easy to carry, smudge-proof dramatic pop of colour, glides across your lid to leave you with a long lasting shine and matte finish. The best part? Depending on the occasion, the crayon doubles up as an eye shadow and an eye liner! Perfect to add that much needed zing to your festive look!

The Lakmé Absolute Gloss Addict

But when it comes to wearing red lips, picking the right shade for your skin tones is key (read our full guide here.)Our personal favourites are the Lakmé Absolute Gloss Addict in Red Delight and Berry Cherry, the Lakmé Absolute Creme Lipcolor in Red Carpet and Brick and the Lakmé 9to5 Matte Lipstick in Red Coat.
