Here are a few makeup and dressing tips to help you get ready fast and beautifully:

Base: Opt for a tinted moisturiser instead of a full-coverage foundation. It helps to even out your skin tone and provide a natural glow without feeling heavy. For a quick fix, use concealer only on areas that need attention; under the eyes, around the nose, and on any blemishes.

Eyes: The eyes are the focal point of any festive look. Apply a neutral eyeshadow all over your lids and define your eyes with a smudge-proof kajal or eyeliner. To add a festive flair, swipe on a coat of mascara to open up your eyes and make them look bright and awake.

Lips: For a quick and easy application, opt for a lip tint or a creamy lipstick that doesn’t require precise application. If you’re in a rush, dabbing on some lipstick and blending it out with your fingers can give you a soft, natural look in seconds.

Hair: A low bun on the nape or a high ponytail works well with most traditional outfits and takes just a few minutes. If you prefer leaving your hair down, add some loose curls or waves for a soft look that pairs beautifully with festive wear.

Outfit: Pick an outfit that’s comfortable and easy to wear, like a flowy kurta with palazzos or a saree with a pre-stitched pallu. If you’re short on time, go for outfits with minimal embellishments that don’t need much accessorising.

Accessories: When you’re pressed for time, choose statement accessories that require minimal effort. A pair of jhumkas or a choker can instantly amp up your look without the need for layering multiple pieces. For a final touch, slip on a thick bangle (kada) or a fancy watch to complete your ensemble.
