Lock Down Your Party Looks With These Make-Up Essentials Under INR 650
Step 1: Eyes

Yes, this is the first step, so you can create beautiful looks and avoid any colour fallout; all the Youtube tutorials are proving useful. For a party, I'd suggest going all out, but if you like to keep things neutral, a brown-ish smokey eye with eyeliner and kohl would look beautiful too. The 10-pan shadow palette has four variants, can be used wet or dry and has a smooth blendable formula for you to get creative. Don’t forget to add a good mascara at the end.

Primers are a must for a long night of partying so your makeup stays put for long and appears as smooth as possible. We've heard raving reviews of this Colorbar Flawless Finish Primer; it absorbs quickly, smoothes out your pores and can be used on all skin types.
Discounted Price: INR 374
Step 3: Foundation

The Maybelline Fit Me Foundation is a drugstore favourite. It's easy to work with, doesn’t become patchy. Many don’t know that it also has SPF 22, which doesn’t mean you can skip sunscreen, but the added protection doesn’t hurt. They have about 18 shades, which isn’t the most inclusive range but is good enough.

Step 4: Concealer

Shop On
The best thing about the L.A. Girl Pro Concealer is its texture; creamy, blendable, and lightweight on the skin. They offer 33 shades, 10 of which are corrector shades that really work. The coverage is decent and can be built without becoming too cakey.

Step 5: Bronzer And Contour

Bronzer and contouring help warm and define the shape of your face. Higher the intensity of your contour, the more sculpted you will look. I tend to always go for my-face-but-better type of a minimal look so, bronzer is enough.

Step 6: Loose Powder
₹799
Shop On
A loose powder would help set your base, and this one from Maybelline is tried and tested! The powder is very fine and has an instant mattifying and blurring effect. It controls shine and doesn’t let my base move, even after a long day. The only disappointing bit is the colour range, four shades, which would work well for light to dusky skin tones only.

Step 7: Blush And Highlight

If there were only one step to this entire look, I would choose it to be blush. It brings a nice flush of colour to the face, and even if you're new to makeup, you can't get it wrong. Highlighters are game-changing when it comes to accentuating your features. This palette gets you the best of both worlds. Users love the blendable, comfortable-to-wear formula and pigmentation.

Step 8: Lipstick!

The pigmentation on these transfer-proof matte lipsticks by Sugar Cosmetics is unreal. It's matte but still feels comfortable on the lips. If you want to go for a more glossy finish, I recommend using the Maybelline Lifter Gloss in the shade Pearl; a transparent gloss with silver glitter.
