5 Tips For Lightweight And Long-Lasting Diwali Makeup Ft. Kripa Patel Joshi

Here are the five tips for lightweight and long-lasting Diwali makeup as per renowned makeup influencer, Kripa Patel Joshi:

What Is The Ideal Type Of Makeup Look For Diwali That Suits The Indian Climate?

Kripa Patel Joshi recommends opting for a "natural, dewy, skin-like look." She suggests avoiding heavy makeup and instead focusing on enhancing your natural features. “I’d go for a ‘your skin but better’ effect with a glow-from-within vibe,” says Kripa. The key is to skip unnecessary layers of skincare products and just use a good moisturiser to keep your makeup in place, preventing it from sliding or melting away due to the humid conditions.

How To Keep Your Base Long-Lasting Without Using Many Products?

Maintaining a flawless base without going overboard on products is a common concern. Kripa advises starting with a mattifying primer to control sweat and minimise the appearance of pores. "A lightweight foundation or skin tint in waterproof formulas works best," she says, noting that these options offer durability without feeling heavy on the skin. Kripa also recommends using setting sprays between applications and focusing powder application on the T-zone and under the eyes to lock in the base. "Seal everything with a fixing spray," she emphasises, explaining that setting sprays and fixing sprays serve different purposes. Setting sprays helps the makeup adhere better while fixing sprays locks everything in place for hours.

How To Do An Easy And Lightweight Smokey Eye?

If you want a glamorous yet effortless look, Kripa suggests a simple hack for creating a lightweight smokey eye without relying too much on eyeshadow. “I start by applying bronzer all over my eyelids,” she explains, offering an easy alternative to traditional eyeshadow palettes. For the smokey effect, she uses a brown or black eyeliner pencil, smudging it lightly for that soft, blended look. "I do the same on the lower lash line and finish with a light touch of glitter," she adds, cautioning that the glitter should enhance, not overpower, the smokiness. This method creates a striking yet subtle smokey eye, perfect for Diwali.

Try This Hack To Ensure Your Makeup Doesn’t Melt Away During Diwali Festivities

Diwali often means long hours of celebration, so keeping your makeup from smudging or melting is essential. Kripa shares her foolproof "sandwich method" to combat this issue. “I apply foundation first, followed by a setting spray with water as the first ingredient,” she says. After layering on all powder products, Kripa finishes with a fixing spray containing alcohol, ensuring the makeup stays intact for hours. This method helps to "lock everything in place," making it ideal for Diwali’s long celebrations.

How To Create A Lip Look That Will Last During Diwali?

Between the sweets and snacks, keeping your lipstick in place can be a challenge. Kripa offers a simple yet effective hack for long-lasting lips for this Diwali. “I start with a lip tint, which tends to last until the next day,” she reveals. After applying the tint, she layers on a comfortable matte lipstick that isn’t too drying, allowing it to set before finishing with a clear gloss. “Even if your lipstick starts to fade, the tint remains underneath, so you really won’t need to touch up at all,” she says. This trick ensures that your lip look stays fresh, even through multiple Diwali snack breaks.
