Get The Look: Radhika Merchant's Smokey Brown Kohl Eyes
Radhika offers every reason as to why you should go for smokey brown eyes this season...
Unless you've been living under a rock, you'd agree that brown is the MVP of the season. Not only has the hue translated in the most sophisticated manner in fashion but the same has also proven to be a mainstay when it comes to beauty.
Case in point: Radhika Merchant's recent look where she was spotted in a Sabyasachi sari with an emerald choker and smokey brown eyes done by bridal make-up artist Mausam Gandhi.

Mausam created a radiant, lit-from-within base for Radhika which naturally lifted her features. For her lips and cheeks, she opted for a soft matte muted pink shade that added a natural flush to her complexion. The MUA then blended a soft bronze shade across the lids, adding a touch of brown eyeshadow for a smoky effect. The look was completed with a few generous coats of mascara on the upper lashes. The softly defined brows pulled the look together while the light shimmer on the centre of the lids added just the right amount of intensity.
