The holiday season unfolds with non-stop celebrations, from early morning pujas with tradition to night-long partying with glamour. Yet, balancing your makeup and skincare routine through such long, eventful days can sometimes seem like an uphill task. With the right beauty tips, it is feasible to have a glow that lasts from dawn till night without endless touch-ups. Balancing morning soothing looks and evening dramatic transformations is an art that can be perfected with some expert tips.

Festivals are all about feeling and looking your best, but extended hours of makeup, travel through varied environments and busy schedules can play havoc with your skin. Therefore, knowing the right skincare prep and quick makeup tricks is important. In conversation with The Daily Jagran, Dr. Blossom Kochhar, Pioneer in Aromatherapy and Founder, Blossom Kochhar Group of Companies, shares skincare and makeup hacks for the festive season to achieve a healthy-looking skin.

Skincare And Makeup Tips For Festive Season

Morning Matters Most

A clean face and light hydration in the morning set the base. Dr. Blossom Kochhar states, “Wash with a gentle cleanser, apply moisturiser, and yes, don’t forget sunscreen.” It may sound boring, but skipping sunscreen is the reason makeup often fades fast.

Keep It Soft For The Puja

Daytime look should feel light. A BB cream or tinted moisturiser, little kajal, some blush and a nude lip shade, that’s all you need. It looks fresh in natural light and doesn’t feel heavy when you’re moving around with family.

Small Reset Before Stepping Out

By evening, skin can look a bit oily or tired. Blotting paper or even plain tissue works to take away shine. Dr. Blossom Kochhar advises, “A quick spritz of rose water or mist gives instant freshness. A little compact powder on the T-zone is enough to revive your base.”

Add The Party Sparkle

Now comes the fun part. Switch the nude lipstick to red or plum, add eyeliner or shimmer shadow, and highlight your cheekbones. These two or three small changes turn a simple day look into a festive night look. Carry just a mini kit with lipstick, compact, and eyeliner so it doesn’t feel like a task.

Don’t Crash With Makeup On

The biggest mistake is sleeping with your makeup. However tired you are, remove it. Dr. Blossom Kochhar states, “Cleanse properly and apply a night cream or serum. Your skin will recover and be ready for the next day of celebrations.”

Day puja to night party doesn’t have to be stressful. Prep well in the morning, refresh in the evening, add a few bold touches, and always cleanse at night. That’s all it takes to stay glowing right through the season.
