This week, the eyes did most of the talking. Priyanka Chopra’s return to Mumbai for Bvlgari’s Serpenti Infinito opening came with smoked kohl and feathered lashes against a taut bun and white drape. For Durga Puja, Alia Bhatt wore the same rimmed gaze, softened by washed lids and a bindi that pulled the look into tradition. Tamannaah Bhatia carried the thread into colour, blending lilac shadow with a glossy pink lip to mirror the bow of her gown. One feature, handled three ways, shapes the week’s strongest beauty looks.
Priyanka Chopra paired the sweep of a white draped gown with pulled-back hair, smoked kohl eyes and a muted rose lip. Her base was kept matte with light contouring to carve out cheekbones, lashes were feathered to give lift without heaviness, and brows brushed into shape. The stripped-back palette and taut bun gave her backlace the stage.
For the exhibition’s opening, Diana Penty paired a navy scalloped neckline with centre-parted S waves that skim the shoulders. The makeup sits warm against the cool set: a satin base with subtle warmth through the cheekbones, a light wash on the lids, black liner pressed into the upper waterline, lifted lashes and brows brushed to a natural arch. A tea-rose nude lip in a satin finish echoes the blush tones.
Sanya Malhotra’s skin was luminous with a natural colour along the cheeks, paired with a glossy nude-pink lip. Eyes were softly defined with blended-out kohl and feathered lashes, while brows held shape without looking overdrawn. A cobalt bindi pulled focus to the eyes and echoed the blue tones of her lehenga for a festive finish.
Kriti Sanon’s makeup builds around a luminous base with gentle sculpting through the cheekbones, lids brushed with a muted mauve and softly blended into the crease, and lashes left defined but not heavy. Brows are full and brushed upwards, giving structure, while the lips are a glossy mirror of the lids.
Ali Bhatt paid her respects at Kajol and Rani Mukherji’s families’ Durga Puja pandal in a classic look by Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla. Her hair fell in soft waves tucked behind her ear, drawing attention to the ornate drop earrings and hair jewellery that graze the neckline. Skin is left natural, the flush on her cheeks echoed by a pink-toned wash across the lids, paired with kohl-rimmed eyes. The lips are in a rosy beige, keeping the focus on the eyes and the bindi.
