From red sindoor to the colour of your mehndi, red has been an inseparable part of Karwa Chauth. It's not necessary to doll up from head to toe in red, but just red pouts can work. Keep your makeup minimal and straightforward so that your lips remain the highlight. Apply some concealer and highlighter.

Are you not going for the traditional look? Fret not. Pink lips are here to enhance your not so traditional attire. Apply simple, basic makeup with a light blush. Pair the pink lips with a winged liner. Be careful not to overdo the blush as it might take over the entire pink baby lips look. 

Extra Tip:

Hair down or tossed in a bun, both will slay the pink lip look.

Gold Shimmery Eyes

Pair this golden match with red, pink or nude lipstick. You can also create a stunning smoked effect with a light pink blush.

No Makeup Look

Follow the trend of a no-makeup look that gives you naturally-looking dewy skin, bright eyes and flushed cheeks. Yes, it's the most minimal look you can get, but to ace this one, you need a bit of extra precision from the start till the end. After you've dab on concealer, create a natural-looking contour with light skin shade blush for an angular bone structure without making it look drastic. Go for rosy, not red cheeks that give the appearance of perfectly pinched cheeks. 

Keep your eyes minimal and drop that oh-so natural look. 

Extra Tip:

Small bindi will add charm to this no-makeup look

Play up your lips with a nude lipstick that will keep the eye simple
