There are weeks when celebrity glam feels all highlighter and no heart, but this wasn’t one of them. Whether it was Malavika Mohanan’s monochrome depth, Janhvi Kapoor’s harmonious petal-pink palette or Bhumi Pednekkar’s twin bindis, this round of beauty looks hit emotional notes without going overboard. There was shimmer, but never sparkle for sparkle’s sake. Flush, gloss and definition served feeling rather than formula.

Bhumi Pednekkar’s beauty look walked the tightrope between classic and contemporary. Her skin caught the light with a glassy sheen, lids dusted in champagne shadow and lined with a clean flick. The rose-toned lips and barely-there blush added softness, while the twin bindis brought back a vintage drama—refined, not retro.

Malavika Mohanan’s beauty look played out like a study in tonal depth. Her base was luminous without slipping into hyper-shine. On the eyes, a smudged brown pulled outward softly and was layered with mascara. Her lips were the standout: a matte, cinnamon-toned brown with a deep liner that deepened the monochrome mood and resisted the usual nude-pink default.

Janhvi Kapoor’s base leans toward matte-satin finish that avoids over-glow or sculpt-heavy techniques. A soft wash of peach-pink sweeps across the eyes and cheeks in harmony. Her eyes are defined by winged liner with a petal pink nude lip

Proof that the skin-first, no-makeup makeup look still reigns supreme. Sanya Malhotra’s base had the kind of dew that reads more ‘face mist’ than foundation, letting her natural texture breathe through. Brows were softly defined, eyes washed in nude tones, and the liner flick kept subtle. The blush and lip colour played in the same barely-there pink zone—enough to signal freshness, never effort. It’s a lesson in less-is-everything.

Glossy, lit-from-within skin. Full, softly feathered brows. That just-right nude lip. Suhana Khan’s look offered a modern take on the girl-next-door glamour. Her makeup leaned into warmth without weight, with subtly sculpted cheeks and a gleam that caught the light in all the right places.

Genelia Deshmukh leaned into tradition with her base flawlessly set, creating a background for her intensely defined eyes. Kohl and liner were used generously, while muted-soft shadows added a subtle step. Sculpted brows and a rosy gloss lip enhanced her features, but it was truly the cultural accents, a bindi and nath, that carried the emotional weight of the look.
