Ganesh Chaturthi is a festival of devotion, joy, and celebration. Houses and streets are brightly coloured and energized. So when you are dressing up for pujas, family gatherings, or festive processions, your makeup may play an important role in supporting your look and creating more festive moments. Whether you want to have a natural glow, or you like bold, making statements, here are the must-have makeup trends for Ganesh Chaturthi to make sure you look radiant and elegant during all the festivities.
- Dewy, Luminous Skin
This year, the focus remains on healthy, glowing skin that looks fresh and radiant. Dewy makeup is wonderful for the festive season as it underlines your natural beauty to give you a youthful aspect.
How to Achieve It:
Hydrating primer: Good foundation for a smooth, seamless canvas
Lightweight foundation/BB cream: Natural finish only.
Liquid highlighter – to apply on cheekbones and brow bones along with the bridge of the nose, that luminous glow.
Prep tip: Apply facial moisturizing cream or sheet mask at least one day before Ganesh Chaturthi for a flawless look.
- Earth tones for the eyes:
Gentle earth tone– shimmery shades which reflect off the skin like sparklers.
Neutral and earthy shades of eyeshadow such as bronze, copper, and gold are a must during Indian festivals. These colours add warmth and depth to your eyes without looking overdone.
How to Get It:
Apply a warm bronze or gold eyeshadow on your eyelids and blend it well.
Add a hint of shimmer on the inner corners of your eyes to brighten them.
Finish with a winged eyeliner or a subtle smudge of kohl for a soft, smoky effect.
Pro Tip: For a modern twist, pair earthy eyes with a pop of coloured eyeliner, like teal or burgundy, to add a unique touch.
- Bold, Defined Brows
Well-defined brows frame your face and add a polished look to your makeup. Bold brows are trending this season, striking a perfect balance between traditional and contemporary styles.
How to Get It:
Spare sparse areas by filling them with a brow pencil or powder.
Brush brows upward to give them a lift using a clear brow gel.
Pro Tip: Never fill in your brows so heavily. Instead, work around the natural shape of the brow, making it look soft and elegant.
- Vibrant Lips
Festive occasions are the best days to try bold colours such as bright reds, juicy oranges, and hot pinks statement lip can work it all together.
How:
Choose a matte or satin lipstick in shades like crimson, fuchsia, or coral.
Use a lip liner to define your lips and prevent the colour from smudging.
For longer wear, blot your lips with tissue after the first application and reapply a second layer.
Pro Tip: If you’re going heavy on the eyes, opt for a nude or peachy lip to balance your look.
- Subtle Shimmer on the Cheeks
A hint of shimmer on the cheeks can enhance your festive glow and tie your look together.
How to Achieve It:
Use a warm-toned blush, like peach or rose to add a natural flush to the cheeks.
Apply a subtle shimmer or highlighter over the blush for dimension.
Pro Tip: Avoid over-applying the shimmer to prevent your makeup from looking messy and rather elegant and classy.
- Traditional Bindis and Accessories
No festive look is complete without a bindi. A small, classic bindi can instantly add charm to your Ganesh Chaturthi ensemble.
How to Enhance It:
Opt for a red, maroon, or gold bindi that complements your outfit.
Pair it with traditional jewellery like jhumkas, bangles, or a maang tikka to complete the look.
Pro Tip: If you’re wearing a modern outfit, experiment with decorative or crystal bindis for a contemporary touch.
- Long-Lasting Makeup for All-Day Festivities
Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations often involve long hours of rituals and gatherings, so your makeup needs to last throughout the day.
How to Achieve It:
Use a setting spray to lock your makeup in place.
Opt for waterproof eyeliner and mascara to prevent smudging.
Keep blotting papers or a compact powder handy to touch up any shine.
Pro Tip: Choose makeup products with a lightweight, breathable formula to stay comfortable during the festivities.
- Hair and Makeup Coordination
Your hairstyle should complement your makeup for a cohesive look. Traditional hairstyles like buns adorned with fresh flowers or loose waves with a festive hair accessory work beautifully.
