    There is a reason Deepika Padukone is the reference point whenever wedding guest beauty comes up. She never looks overdone, never looks like she is trying too hard, and yet she always stands out. It is that rare balance of polish and ease that only comes from knowing your face, your features, and what actually works for you. On her birthday, it feels only right to revisit her beauty look that makes a striking wedding guest look, especially if you are looking for a timeless and soft glam makeup look.

    For an event, Padukone wore a handwoven Navratan Patan Patola by artisan Bhawar Singh, reimagined through Anamika Khanna with mulmul blooms and a handmade Banaras border. The jewellery was unapologetically bold, yet her beauty look stayed grounded and deliberate. Glowy bronzed skin, softly sculpted cheeks, and nude lips that never distracted from the eyes. Her hair was parted clean down the middle and styled into a braided ponytail finished with a gota patti parandi.

    The makeup was where the real mastery lay. Kohl-rimmed eyes anchored the look, layered with deep brown eyeshadow, precisely lined eyeliner, and generous mascara that added intensity without heaviness. The rest of the face was kept warm and minimal. Peach-nude lips, bronzed cheeks, and softly highlighted skin created balance, allowing the eyes to remain the focal point. A micro bindi and her signature arched brows added the final touch, subtle details that quietly sharpened the entire look.

    If you want to recreate this for your next wedding invite, think less about piling on products and more about editing. Choose one feature to amplify; here, it is the eyes, and let everything else support it. Keep the base luminous but natural, skip harsh contouring, and opt for warm tones that photograph beautifully under evening lights!

    For Manifest to become one of Cambridge Dictionary's most viewed words of 2024 — 1,30,000 hits and counting — it means some of us must have Googled it at least once. I know, I hit that search button over and over again
    because each time I looked at it, I saw a new meaning.

    Putting together a homegrown title at a time when the demise of print has been long announced may seem surprising...
    ...but it has long been a dream of mine to give India a magazine it deserves. A magazine that is the country.

    And nothing, absolutely nothing, represents India more than our weddings.It is a time when families are brought together. Traditions come alive as they are adapted to each couple's beliefs. And lives are joined in a way that the romantic in me still enjoys.
