Veteran actress and current social media icon Zeenat Aman has always made news for her bold and unfiltered opinions. She recently launched her latest collaboration video with beauty brand Charlotte Tilbury and Nykaa to announce a glamorous blast from the past.

Reviving retro beauty trends and iconic looks is such a fun way to celebrate timeless style and femininity, the actress made a stunning post highlighting two of her favourite lipstick shades in sultry red and vibrant pink.

Just like stepping into a vintage movie scene, Zeenat Aman can be seen re-creating vintage magic in sparkling red and white outfits to promote the latest beauty trends. “Wearing makeup should totally be a personal choice. Some days I don’t wear a scrap of it on my face, but on others I like to go all out,” expressed Zeenat in her latest post.

In the viral glam video, the witty actress wrote on her Instagram post, “Oh, it’s a good time on set when all you have to do is revisit your youth, “get ready” and dance! My crew and I spent an afternoon with @mynykaa playing with a selection of @charlottetilbury’s NEW! Hollywood Beauty Icon Lipsticks. That audacious, ‘aap jaisa koi’ shade of red lippy is my pick for days when I’m feeling exceptionally defiant. It’s called Hollywood Vixen. On the other hand, that coy, rosy “Majnu bana dun” lipstick whispers subtle glam. It’s called 90s Pink, and it’s my latest go-to for days about town.” (SIC)

Here are some tips to help you rock the pretty lip shades:

Keep it simple: If you are opting for red,  let the lip be the focal point of your makeup. Pair it with minimal eye makeup, like a neutral eyeshadow and a subtle coat of mascara, to allow the lips to stand out. Red and dark pink lipstick pairs well with neutral tones like black, white, beige, and gray. These colours provide a classic backdrop that allows the lip colour to pop.

Classic elegance: For a timeless look, pair your red and pink lipstick with a little black dress. This combination exudes sophistication and never goes out of style. The lipstick can also be paired with bold prints like leopard or floral patterns. Just ensure that the rest of your outfit remains relatively simple to avoid overwhelming the look.

Monochrome magic: Create a monochromatic look by matching your red and pink lipstick with a similarly toned outfit. This creates a cohesive and polished appearance. If you're wearing a statement outfit or bold accessories, consider opting for a slightly muted red lip color to maintain balance and avoid clashing.

Consider the occasion: Choose a shade of red or pink that suits the occasion and your skin tone. Deeper reds are perfect for evening events or formal occasions, while brighter reds or pink can add a playful touch to daytime outfits. Regardless of what you're wearing, the most important accessory to pair with lipstick is confidence.
