Day Events: Fresh & Youthful

For fests, college parties, or orientation events — keep it simple and natural.

✨ What You’ll Need:

  • BB Cream or Light Foundation (for even skin tone)

  • Concealer (just for under-eyes or blemishes)

  • Neutral Eyeshadow (peach, nude, or gold shimmer)

  • Brown Kajal or Liner

  • Mascara

  • Tinted Lip Balm or Nude Lipstick

  • Blush (peach or rose)

Pro Tip: Avoid heavy contour or dark lipstick — keep it fresh and skin-like!

Farewell Party: Soft Glam with Elegance

Your farewell is your time to shine — go for a slightly elevated look without going OTT.

✨ What You’ll Need:

  • Primer + Medium-Coverage Foundation

  • Defined Brows

  • Soft Smokey Eyes (brown, copper, or plum)

  • Winged Eyeliner (optional)

  • Blush + Highlighter

  • Matte or Satin Lipstick (rose, coral, or mauve)

Pro Tip: If your outfit is bold (like sequins or velvet), go for a balanced makeup look — either bold eyes or lips, not both!

👗 Match Your Makeup to Your Outfit:

Outfit Type

Makeup Suggestion

Pastels (peach, lilac)

Nude tones, glossy lips

Dark colours (navy, maroon)

Matte base, bold lips

Floral/Printed

Soft pinks and peach tones

Saree or Lehenga

Winged liner, shimmer eyes

Bonus Tips from Awadh Blush:

  • Always prep your skin with moisturizer + sunscreen

  • Use a setting spray if your event will last long

  • Practice once at home — don’t try something new at the last minute

  • Keep a mini touch-up kit: compact, lip tint, blotting paper
