Long Lasting Makeup Tips for Festive_Indian Makeup Looks

Hello, hello, hi guys! Welcome back to my channel

If you are new to my channel, I'm Akanksha. So, in this video, festivities are around the corner

If you don't already know that, it's all over Instagram. Literally, everybody is doing a Navratri series

And I think everybody, like even on YouTube, I don't know. I've not seen anybody do it on YouTube

It's not like I'm doing it. But then, yeah, Instagram is flooded with it. So, you know, it's festive season

And I just wanted to give you an updated, good makeup tutorial for festivities

That will last throughout anything. We do pujas, we do dance, we do so many things

So, you sweat, you get oily. So, to minimize that as much as possible, I thought I'll give you guys some tips

And I thought, kind of, give you a makeup look as well, which might work for you

Let's get started. First of all, we need to hydrate. Then mattify

Never just mattify your skin as is. Like, you know, I know people kind of just don't apply moisturizer or sunscreen

Or like anything that basically needs to hydrate your skin. Thinking like, you know, if I apply that and if I go in with makeup again

then I'll look like a mess. So, I'm going to do a makeup look

And I'm going to do a makeup look. Thinking like, you know, if I apply that and if I go in with makeup again

then my skin will get more oily. That is not true. Always, always hydrate your skin

Skincare is an unskippable step. You have to do everything for your skincare even if you are doing makeup

Always remember that. So, like, hydration is the key. I did my skincare, but to just refresh it, I'm going in with Love Child by Missha

Face mist. If you don't hydrate your skin, your skin will produce even more oil

and that will compensate the dryness which you've left behind without hydrating it. So, your makeup is going to look even more oilier at the end of the day

So, always make sure you hydrate. I put so much spray. Okay, the mist is dried down

Now, I'm going to apply a little primer. Now, I know I generally, like, don't do primer

But on the days when I want to fill the pores, make my makeup last for longer, I do go in with one

And today, I am using the Tracme Absolute Blur Perfect Primer. I really like their gel one to fill in the pores as well

But this one, it kind of mattifies my face a lot more

I'm not applying it all over. You can just see only right here. This is the area where I tend to get the most oily, you guys

Like, the nose and this part is where I get oily the most. So, I'm just applying it right there so that, you know, it kind of doesn't get oily

What else to say? If you have dry skin, you might not want to do this

I mean, if you have dry skin, you would not get oily that quickly. So, probably you're like, I don't even need this video

But, you know, this is for my oily chick girls, my sweaty girls. That's it

Next, another more important step. This is all about skin prep, you guys

Literally, like, makeup depends so much on how you prep your skin

So, next what I'm doing is, again, I'm going in with my powder. This is my Laura Mercier Translucent Powder

Now, I, again, do this when I want my makeup to last for hours together

And I know, like, I don't do this every time I'm going out. Because every time, generally, if I'm going out, like, I'll go to a restaurant and say

there's AC. I'll go out and say, like, it's not like a much of activity when I sweat or do anything

But, I know, like, it has to stay for longer. I might sweat. I might dance

I might, like, you know, do everything. This is when I do that. So, I just, like, lightly go ahead and tap my translucent powder, again, on the areas

where I generally tend to get oily. If you want, like, a breakdown of why and how I do this, I will leave the link right here

You know, for tips for oily skin makeup. Here, see, now, you can see my skin is nice and matte

But, my skin is not dehydrated or dry, okay? So, that is important

Okay, so, we're going to keep the base as light as possible. Because, remember, the lighter the base, the more it's not going to, you know, move around

or look heavy, cakey, oily, everything. For foundation, I'm going in with the L'Oreal Infallible 24-Hour Fresh Wear Foundation

I love this one. Like, it is a very universal foundation. Again, it can be used

All skin types can use it. And, I love the finish it gives

I love its coverage as well. But, even, like, even though it covers everything, it does not really make my skin, like, look really heavy

I'm going in with my brush. This is the Dufa Beauty RB23

So, one thing, again, I only apply foundation first on the areas where I think I need it the most

which is on my cheeks. Like, you can see I have a lot of blemishes. So, you can see I concentrated the foundation a lot there only

Then, I start dabbing, dabbing, dabbing. And, only what is left on the brush, once the area is covered, I go over and I apply

And, I go over and tap that on the rest of my face. This way, you make sure, like, your entire face is kind of evened out, but not, like, heavy at the same time

So, can you see my face now? Like, I have foundation on, but it is a very thin layer

And, you can see it's, like, really lightweight. But, also, it did cover everything which I wanted it to cover

So, like, you know, it's all about the application, you guys. Makeup, a good product also can be bad if you use it the wrong way

And, a bad product can be really good if used the right way, you know

You can see now, even after applying the foundation, this area is still pretty matte

So, next, I'm going in with a cream blush. I'm using the Tarte Earth Lip and Cheek Tint in Coral Nude

The reason I'm using a cream blush is because if you wear makeup, you know, the first thing which disappears from your face is blush

So, I kind of load it as much as possible because I know it's going to diminish, like, throughout, like, the hours

And, using, like, cream and powder kind of makes sure, like, it's intact

And, I cannot function without a blush, really, because, like, it just adds so much to my face

Otherwise, I just feel, like, so dead once I apply makeup and, you know, look at myself

I love this one so much and I'm using it after so long. Now, one more thing is, for foundation, you can go with a more mattifying one if you have, like, extremely oily skin

But, I can get away with this one and I really like it. Next, for concealer, I'm using the LA Girl Pro HD Concealer and this is the shade Medium Beige

I'm just going to let that sit. Now, you need to know your concealer to know whether you can make it sit or not

Like, the Inside Cosmetics one I really like. I cannot make that sit for longer because once it dries down quickly and it does not blend

Like, this one, even if I keep it on for longer, it blends off and it gives me more coverage the longer I make it wait

Meanwhile, I'll do my brows and for brows, I'm going in with the Makeup Revolution Brow Pencil

Next, I'm again going in with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush. I'm going to blend that concealer off

Next, I'm going in with my translucent powder and setting everything in place before it starts creasing

Now, I go really heavy-handed with the powder because I want my makeup to, like, be completely transfer-proof, oil-proof, all kinds of proofs and I don't want it to stay longer

Now, again, I do this only when I want it to last longer. I just use a compact these days. I'm so into compacts

Because, especially, you don't get any flashbacks and all with compacts and I really like it

So, first, sometimes I go in with a compact and then I use this translucent powder

But today, because I anyways wanted to stay really matte, I think I should have applied a little more concealer here

It's starting to look a little off but we shall manage. We will do it

Like, a legato is possible, you know. It's always possible. I don't know why suddenly whenever I want to talk something funny, I get this accent

But, wow! I love my base. It looks so nice. Again, going in with my blush. I think I should start buying new blushes because, honestly, you guys must be tired seeing this

And I use this so much and I'm so surprised I still didn't hit pan. You guys have been using this since it launched. I use it almost every time

Almost every time I do my makeup but it's still, like, there. This is the K-Beauty blush and this is in the shade Sugar Candy

One of my favorite blushes, favorite shades. Just adding that on top. I told you, right

Like, it's a safety cushion. Like, double assurance. Did you guys watch that movie Revenge

Double assurance, baby. You can do your nose if you want. I just, like, I don't know. I just don't do that anymore

Next, I'm gonna do a little bit of bronzer. This is the Kiko Milano bronzer

As long as you have blush, like, even if you don't have bronzer, you can kind of get away with it

But you cannot, like, have bronzer and not have blush. It'll just make you look so plain

So, even, like, if I just apply powder and it's, like, not going to stay, it's fine because I do have my blush which is going to stay

Like, this will just give me a lot more dimension. But I can skip it if I want. I know a lot of people don't do it

Like, you know, just, like, a little blush moment also looks quite cute

Why there's so much powder on this? Cute, so you can definitely do that. I just, like, I'm a little extra, like, hello, like, you've been watching me

It's not like I go anything like simple makeup, hello. No, it's always the full glam, okay

I think we'll do eyes and then we'll come back to the base again

Okay, for eyes, I'm going to go in with this gorgeous palette from Makeup Revolution. I got this palette recently and I've been dying to dive into this

So, we're going to do, like, a nice brown smokey eye today. But, like, if you are not into colors and you just do makeup every day with, like, a lot of neutrals, this will be your dream palette

Given that it works well, this will be, like, a, you know, tutorial plus to see if this actually, this palette is actually going to work

I think it will. Most of my Makeup Revolution palettes perform pretty good

So, let's see. First, I'm going to go in with this and this and add that as a transition shade

This is that kind of color you would want to wear when you're doing that no makeup makeup kind of thing

Because look at, it did a lot to my eye, but it's not very evident

I love this shade. It's more like, you know, if when you use your bronzer as your eye shadow, like, beautiful

I love this shade. I love this shade. Next, I'm going to go in with a little deeper brown

I'm probably mixing this and this. Just dabbing that on the lid

If you're a beginner, first suggestion, do this before you do your makeup, not after

Especially when you're using, like, browns and blacks, because eye shadow will fall on your skin and then it will not look nice

I always, like, take my eye shadow and tap it and then I slowly build it up

Going ahead and blending those edges. You don't have to do much. It's just getting blended on its own

Just going to go in with this darker shade and add it as a wing. You can do this with normal black liner also if you want

I just like it smoky, so. For the waterline, I'm going with the kajal and I'm going with the Lakme Iconic

But not the black one, the brown one. I really like brown kajal. Like, it gives you the dimension you need, but it's not, like, as intense as black or looks

I feel like black kajal all the time does not suit me

There are certain looks that look wonderful, but sometimes it's just not my vibe

So, like, for that time, I just go in with brown and then I blend it off. So, it's like, there's dimension, but it's, like, again, not too much

Going to go ahead and blend that brown out. I spray it as a NYX Matte Finish One

Again, you don't want to, like, you know, at times like this, I don't use, like, MAC Fix Plus

Because once I spritz this on, it does leave me a little bit of that dewy effect

And I do not want that because, again, I want my makeup to last longer

Face is set. Going in with some highlighter. I'm going in with a Becca one

I am just going to add a little bit. Not a lot. Very, very lightly

Like, a lot less than what I usually do as well. Because, again, you shall sweat, honey, and your face will glow naturally

It's an advantage of having oily skin. ���

And this is the final look, you guys. I tried to do something with my hair

But I obviously failed. Like, I wanted to do the twisting thing and then, like, you know, tying up thing

But, I don't know. It just, like, ended up this way. But, yeah, overall, I like how the makeup is looking though

Like, again, this look is very universal. If you wear any color except, like, pink, you can do this look

Because it goes off. But mostly, like, with pink, the brown kind of does not sit

So, you can use, like, more, like, warm, mauve, maroon shades if you want

But, like, with brown, this brown, like, goes with, like, greens, blues, reds, oranges

Any color. White, black, of course. Like, every color with this eye makeup and, like, this entire makeup goes well

It's like that neutral brown glam. And I really love how this looks

You can see, like, nothing on my face. It's, like, not shiny or glowy or greasy in any way

And, yeah, that is about it for this look. I really hope it was useful for you
