This week, beauty took a back seat to nuance—stepping away from bold dramatics and embracing quiet elevation. These looks favored grounded tones, satin finishes, and soft washes of color that feel more lived-in than painted on. Skin-first beauty anchored the aesthetic, while touches of contrast on the eyes and lips created compelling moments.
Ananya Panday: Undeniably Fresh with Precision
Ananya Panday served dewy, gravity-defying skin punctuated by sheer peach tones across her cheeks, lips, and lids. The makeup was applied with the kind of restraint that reads as effortless—less makeup, more radiance. The true showstopper? A razor-thin liner that hovered precisely along her lash line, hinting at definition without shouting. It’s the kind of beauty that feels like the glow came from within—and maybe just a dash of good genes.
Kajol: Vintage Glam with a Moody Twist
Kajol opted for a more dramatic palette, pairing a matte foundation with softly smoked taupe and kohl on the eyes. Her brows, shaped but not sculpted, anchored the look. But the standout was her lip—the rich, deep berry hue exuded old-Hollywood glam, standing in sharp, cinematic contrast to the base. A whisper of blush and delicate contour completed the look with vintage allure.
