Drape it Right:
- Traditional Drape: The classic Nivi drape is always a safe choice. It’s simple yet elegant. Start by tucking the saree into your petticoat at the waist and wrap it around, making sure the pallu (the end of the saree) flows gracefully over your shoulder.
- Gujarati Drape: For a playful and festive look, try the Gujarati style. This involves wrapping the saree around your waist twice and draping the pallu across your front, showcasing intricate designs and patterns.
-
Accessorize Wisely:
- Pair your saree with traditional jewelry. Statement pieces like jhumkas or a chunky necklace can elevate your look.
- Don’t forget a matching clutch or potli bag to complete your ensemble.
-
Footwear Matters: Comfortable yet stylish footwear is key, especially if you’ll be dancing. Opt for embellished juttis or classic block heels that complement your saree.
Makeup Tips for a Stunning Navratri Look
-
Base Makeup:
- Start with a clean, moisturized face. Use a good primer to help your makeup last through the festivities.
- Choose a foundation that matches your skin tone and apply it evenly. A lightweight, long-lasting formula works best for all-day wear.
-
Eyes that Sparkle:
- Bold eye makeup is a must for Navratri! Experiment with colorful eyeshadows that reflect the nine colors of Navratri.
- Don’t shy away from eyeliner and mascara to make your eyes pop. You can even add a touch of glitter for extra glam.
-
Blush and Highlight:
- A natural flush adds life to your face. Opt for a rosy blush on the apples of your cheeks.
- Use highlighter on the high points of your face (cheekbones, brow bone, and the bridge of your nose) for that radiant glow.
-
Lips that Stand Out:
- Choose vibrant lip colors like deep reds, pinks, or even bold oranges to match your saree. A matte or semi-matte finish can add elegance to your overall look.
-
Finishing Touches:
- Set your makeup with a good setting spray to ensure it stays intact throughout the night.
- Consider adding a bindi or decorative hair accessories to enhance your festive look.
