P.S. - You can bookmark this and even treat this as your personal festival makeup kit checklist!
- PRIMER
A flawless makeup look starts by creating a flawless base. A primer is a must-have if you want your makeup to stay put throughout the day, while you’re busy hopping from one social engagement to the other. From smoothening out uneven skin to blurring out your pores, a good primer will do it all for you. When choosing a primer keep your skin type in mind. For dry skin, opt for a creamy, hydrating primer; for oily skin, choose a mattifying primer, preferably a gel or silicone-based one; for acne-prone or sensitive skin, choose one that contains skin-calming ingredients and is non-comedogenic. You can even opt for an illuminating primer to get that lit-from-within glow.
- CONCEALER
An essential makeup item for celebrations of any kind. Whether it’s a bad case of blemishes or faking a good night’s sleep, a trusty concealer’s got your back. For the festive season, it is best to opt for a creamy, full-coverage concealer to give you an even-looking complexion. Keep 2 concealers handy at all times, one that is a shade lighter than your foundation and one that is the exact match of your skin tone.
- FOUNDATION
Discolouration, uneven complexion, dark spots, you name it and a full-coverage foundation will conceal it all for you. A full-coverage foundation is the go-to choice of most people when curating their makeup kit for the festive season. But those who like to keep it light can also opt for BB creams or tinted moisturisers to create a smooth base for the rest of your makeup. Use a makeup sponge or a brush to apply it evenly across your face and get ready to create a flawless makeup look for your celebration.
- BLUSH
What’s a makeup look without a hint of blush? A blush adds the perfect touch of colour to your face and helps to instantly brighten up your look. Place the blush on the apples of your cheeks, if you want your face to look well-rounded, or keep it snatched with blush placement that moves upward from the cheekbones to your eyebrows. If you love the feel and ease of application of a cream blush then the Simply Nam Velvet Cream Magic Blush collection is the go-to pick for you. With a range of shades that are made for Indian skin tones, pick one and blend it however you like. For those who still love the feel of a powder product, the Simply Nam Radiant Powder Magic Blush has got you covered with two gorgeous shades. Both these festive makeup essential blushes come in travel-friendly packaging that makes it easy to carry them in your purse for a quick touch-up whenever, wherever!
- MASCARA
Sleepy, droopy eyes are never a good look, especially during the festive season. But nothing a good ol’ mascara can’t fix! So add the Simply Nam Clean Lashes Waterproof Mascara to your makeup kit for the festive season and get lifted, fluttery lashes with just one coat. Available in 2 shades, a natural brown, and an original black, pick the one you love for your look of the day and evenly coat your lashes with its nourishing formula. An essential makeup item for celebrations, this mascara adds length & volume to your lashes and stays put for hours thanks to its waterproof & smudge-proof formulation.
- KAJAL
A makeup kit for the festive season is incomplete without a kajal because nothing beats the charm of beautiful kohl-rimmed eyes! With shade options to choose from Simply Nam The Ultimate Kajal collection, you can create multiple looks using just these. Whether you want neat, tight-lined eyes, a subtle smokey eye, or a sharp winged eyeliner, these kajals will do it all for you. These kajals come with built-in smudgers that can help you create absolutely any eye look with just one product.
- TINTED LIP BALM
A year-round essential that can save the day during the festive season because nothing saves the day like a trusty tinted lip balm. Between all the munching and drinking, your lipstick may fade, that’s where the NEW Simply Nam Sweet Kisses Hydrating Lip Balm can save the day. Swipe it on and enjoy the moisturising goodness of the balm along with a hint of tint. You can even use these to add a touch of gloss over your lipstick. A must-have in your makeup kit for the festive season this year, and for your bag throughout the year!
- LIPSTICK
Nothing says finishing touch like lipstick, and lucky for you the Simply Nam Lip Collection has something for everyone’s needs. Whether you’re looking for a hydrating lippies, an ultra-matte one, a rich creme, or a glossy one to finish with, this range has got it all. Just pick a shade (or more) that matches your vibe for the season and add it to your makeup kit for the festive season!
- SETTING POWDER/COMPACT POWDER
While you’re busy celebrating and making the most of the festive season, you don’t want your makeup budging or melting down your face. That’s where this festive makeup essential steps in. After you’re done with your makeup, make sure to set it with a loose setting powder. For an on-the-go touch-up, keep a compact powder in your shade handy to just dab and go, with extra attention on areas that are prone to creasing. These essential makeup items for celebrations will keep your makeup looking flawless 24x7!
- SETTING SPRAY
Yes, a setting powder is good, but if you want to ensure your makeup stays intact the entire day, a setting spray is your best bet. Just spritz your face with a few pumps of a setting spray and you’re good to go. Another way to make the best use of this festive makeup essential is by spraying on your makeup sponge when blending your base makeup. This helps dampen the sponge while also offering the setting power of the setting spray from the go-get.
And there you have it, a complete festival makeup kit checklist that has everything you need to look your glowing best this celebration season!
