Sonam Kapoor Ahuja has been leaning into soft glam make-up. Think understated elegance defined by soft brown eyeshadows, luminous highlights on the high points of her face, and pink-nude lips.


The actress has often been spotted doing this look and the key to ace it is to simply ditch the black eyeliner. This is because brown eyeliner offers a softer, more natural finish as compared to black. Hence, making this look also versatile. Her make-up was done by celebrity MUA Namrata Soni's and believe this is a take on a classic cat-eye.

A brown eyeliner is a great choice for those who find black eyeliner too harsh or dramatic. The actor was styled by her sister Rhea Kapoor and was seen in an unreleased piece from couturier Ritu Kumar. Her mane was neatly done, and she wore golden accessories. While the slim Cartier watch caught our eyes, we think her make-up looks amazing and would be easy to recreate. Ahead, check out the steps below.

Begin by using a light CC Cream for a skin-like finish. Blend it using your fingers or a beauty blender. Tip: Ensure that you apply a product which has ample sun protection too. Once done, spot conceal using a heavy-duty concealer, which cancels out your blemishes and dark circles.

Add colour to your face using a powder bronzer, lightly brush it on your forehead and the temples of your face to bring back warmth and colour. Using the same bronzer, use a fluffy eyeshadow brush and add a wash of colour to your eyelids. Add a hint of peachy blush to mimic the natural flush of your cheeks.

Next, use a deep brown gel eyeliner and take an angled brush to draw a wing. Once done, connect it to your lash line and add two coats of lengthening mascara for wispy lashes. Don't forget to fill in sparse areas in your brows.

Use a dark brown lip liner to outline your lips and smudge into the inner corner of your lips for an ombre effect. Use a muted, mauve pink lipstick to add colour. Ensure it has a satin finish because we want the lips to look plump.
