Festive Makeup Trends for Diwali 2025

This Diwali 2025, makeup trends are set to dazzle with glittering eyes, glowing skin, and bold lips that perfectly match the festive spirit.

Bold Eyes with Glitter & Shimmer

Eye makeup for Diwali is all about sparkle. Metallic eyeshadows in bronze, gold and emerald green are also in fashion this year following the international fashion weeks. Combine them with strong winged eyeliners with Lakme Absolute Shine Liquid Eye Liner black to give a sharp and precise look. All you need is adding a hint of glitter accents to the inside corners or along the lash line to lighten your eyes like Diwali diyas.

Statement Lips in Festive Reds and Maroons

Classic red and deep maroon lip shades are making a huge comeback in 2025’s Diwali makeup ideas. Choose long-lasting, smudge-proof Lakme lipsticks so you can enjoy laddoos and chats without constant reapplication.

The Dewy Base Craze

The glass-skin trend is here to remain! A sparkling, blazing foundation provides your face with a natural, yet celebratory look. Lakme Absolute Argan Oil Radiance Oil-In-Creme is a product that can be used to prep your skin with hydration and the Lakme 9 to 5 Mousse Foundation is a product that can last hours of rituals and celebrations.

Step-by-Step Diwali Makeup Look

The perfect Diwali makeup look can be achieved by following these few simple steps-

Step 1– Prep Your Skin

The secret to long-lasting makeup is hydrated skin. Start with a light facial or skincare routine and moisturise your skin well. A primer is essential to smooth the base and ensure your makeup stays intact through the day.

Step 2– Create a Radiant Base

Use Lakme 9 to 5 Mousse Foundation all over your face to even out your skin. Use Lakme Absolute Instant Airbrush Concealer Pen to cover any blemishes or under-eye circles. Seal everything with a compact or setting powder so your base doesn’t crease during long hours of Diwali pujas and parties.

Your eyes are the centerpiece of your Diwali makeup look. Line them with Lakme Eyeconic Kajal for bold definition. Use shimmer or peachy shades from the Lakme 9 to 5 Eye Color Quartet Eye Shadow to add festive depth. Do not forget layers of mascara for voluminous lashes, and finish with Lakme Absolute Shine Liquid Eye Liner Black for that dramatic flair.
