Janhvi Kapoor recently wowed fans by embracing her South Indian roots in traditional outfits and glowing makeup looks. The actress wished her Tamil and Malayali fans a heartfelt “Happy Vishu and Happy Puthandu” on Instagram, dressed beautifully in ethnic wear with stunning jewelry and makeup that gave total goddess vibes.
Want to recreate her look? Here’s a simple guide to getting Janhvi Kapoor’s South Indian glam in just 5 easy steps.
1. Prep Your Skin
Before applying any makeup, it’s important to prep your skin well. Start with a good moisturizer to keep your face soft and smooth. This helps the makeup sit better and last longer. After moisturizing, apply a primer to reduce the appearance of pores and keep your makeup in place all day.
2. Create a Glowing Base
Go for a foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly. Use a sponge or brush to blend it well, including down your neck. To brighten up your face, apply a concealer that’s one shade lighter under your eyes and blend. Light contouring can help define your face, and finishing with a light powder will help your makeup stay fresh for hours.
3. Define Your Eyes
Kohl is a must for any ethnic look. Janhvi used kohl on her waterline and lash line for a dramatic eye effect. She also blended some brown eyeshadow to soften the look. In her second look, she kept it subtle with just a hint of eyeshadow and mascara. For your ethnic glam, try nude eyeshadows on the eyelids, lots of mascara, and a little kohl to define your eyes.
4. Add Blush and Highlighter
Blush adds a fresh, healthy glow to your face. Lightly dab some on your cheeks for a natural look. Highlighter, on the other hand, adds that radiant shine that pairs beautifully with traditional outfits. Apply it to your cheekbones, nose, forehead, and chin for that perfect festive glow.
5. Finish with the Perfect Lip
Choose a lip color that matches your outfit and jewelry. If your outfit is heavy with embellishments, go for softer lips like Janhvi did. She wore a nude pink lipstick lined with brown lip pencil and topped it off with a bit of gloss. This gave her lips a soft and natural finish that didn’t overpower the rest of her look.
Jewelry Inspiration from Janhvi’s Looks
In her ivory saree look, Janhvi wore a stunning choker with micro pearls, a gold chain with a green pendant, and bold, traditional earrings. She completed the look with a maang tikka, a temple jewelry waist belt, and gold bangles – all perfectly matching.
For her second look, she kept the jewelry minimal. A simple red and green choker, matching earrings, a maang tikka, and some colorful bangles completed her festive mauve saree outfit.
Whether you’re dressing up for Vishu, Puthandu, or any celebration, Janhvi Kapoor’s ethnic glam is the perfect guide to glowing in traditional style!
