International Makeup Day 2025: International Makeup Day is celebrated on September 10 every year to celebrate beauty, creativity and self-expression through the art of makeup. This day focuses on boosting confidence, embracing individuality and showcasing makeup trends across the world. This year, the beauty world is abuzz with a whole lot of internet trends of makeup hacks across social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. These makeup trends have emerged as makeup hacks that redefine the way people play with beauty. However, not all viral makeup hacks work best for the distinct undertones, textures, and shades of Indian skin. On this International Makeup Day 2025, let’s take a look at some of the viral makeup hacks that work best on Indian skin tones.
Indian skin tone ranges from dusky and wheatish to fair, with warm undertones that need certain techniques and products to shine at their best. A makeup hack that works on Western skin tone may not work on Indian skin complexion. Thus, we have curated certain viral makeup hacks that suit the Indian skin tones perfectly.
Viral Makeup Hacks For Indian Skin Tones
Colour Correcting
Indian skin often deals with dark circles and pigmentation. A peach or orange corrector applied under the eyes and around the mouth can help to neutralise the blue or grey undertones when applied before concealer. This helps prevent the under-eye area from becoming ashy, providing a balanced base.

Using Lipstick
Not all lipstick shades suit the Indian skin complexion. Warm pinks, corals and brick-red lipsticks look stunning on Indian skin tones and can also be applied as a blush. They provide a natural flush and also last longer than powder blushes.
Banana Powder
Loose banana powder (yellow-hued) works best on Indian skin. While translucent powders leave a white cast, banana powder sets makeup. Banana powder also cancels the dullness and provides a smooth, highlighted look.

Layering Kajal
This is a traditional kajal hack where you smudge kohl along the lash line and mix it with a brown or black eyeshadow to produce a smoky eye. This gives a soft, smoky look that is gorgeous on Indian eyes. Besides, it is low-maintenance and doesn’t require a dozen makeup products or tools and enhances the overall look of the eyes.
Soap Brows
Brushing the brows with clear soap or brow wax is a trick that helps lift the face immediately. For Indian face shapes, fuller brows are flattering with bold lips and eyes. This hack defines brows without them being too heavy and maintains the attention on natural shape and lift.
