Get The “Bronzed Smokey look”

Janhvi Kapoor made a statement in a plain black saree and an embroidered blouse in the same shade at Agenda Aajtak 2023. She chose minimal accessories and her subdued make-up solely complemented the look.

The Decode

Prep & Prime

• Prep the skin by moisturising just right.
• Apply an even amount of Primer that gives a subtle glow and shine on the entire face.

Conceal the skin

• Use a concealer one shade darker than your skin tone.
• Use a soft concealing brush or your finger tips to cover the under eyes and the area required.

Tip – In a box Aim for a soft and classy look, let the skin breathe and hence let’s not build up a lot of layers. Using a fluffy brush/ fingertips would not only cover the surface but also ensure that it doesn’t look cakey.

Flawless foundation

• Pick a lightweight foundation as per your skin tone and add a few drops of skin illuminating Bronzer or highlighter for a seamless bronze goddess finish.

Soft Contour for Dimension

• Stick to soft contours overall.
• Use a Bronzer to add warmth to your look and blend it on the cheeks, jawline, nose and forehead.

⁠Sealing with Soft Powder

• To keep your makeup last long, seal your base with soft powdering technique.

Nude Bronze Blush

• Brush up your cheeks with an illuminating Nude Bronze Blush for that Au Natural Glow.

Highligher

• Brush up a warm Rose Gold highlighter up your cheekbones and Nose bridge for that soft glow.

Sharp Smokey eyes

Use a liquid/ Cream Brown lipstick on your eyelids and create a base

Use a Black Kajal pencil and apply it on the upper lash line, smudge it to give a smoked effect. Also, apply it on the inner lash line and as a kohl in the bottom lash line.

Use a Brown eyeshadow to seal the eye base and give a soft shape to the outer corners and blend it all the way to the lower eyes, creating a soft blended under eye effect.

Use a kohl pencil on the under eye area to create a soft smokey effect and blend it with your brown eyeshadow.

⁠Brush up some mascara and curl your lashes.

Brushed Eyebrows

• Use an eyebrow pencil and a spooli brush to brush, fill & shape your brows.

⁠Nude lips

• Use a nude brown, soft pink shade to create a beautiful dash of colour and top it up on your lips.
• Use a makeup fixer to fix your makeup and your Bronze Goddess look is ready!
