We hope you colored yourself colorful this Holi! Our #NothingIsHolierThanThyBody blogs have already demonstrated how Grace & Glamour salon services allow you to color Holi without any hair and skin damage.
Now that the festival is done, it’s time to revive and refresh! Holi colors drain your skin, dry it out, and leave it patchy. Fear not, though—Grace & Glamour experts are here with the best post-Holi makeup tips to restore your glow!
After-Holi Makeup: Revive & Refresh Your Skin
Holi color and sun might have left dullness on your skin, but there is a simple way to regain the shine with proper makeup techniques.
Step 1: Begin with a Fresh Foundation
Wash your face properly before applying any makeup to clean your skin off all the Holi colors. Grace & Glamour experts recommend:
✔ Gentle scrub to remove dead cells.
✔ Then, a hydrating toner to calm your skin.
Step 2: Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!
Holi color and chemicals dry your skin out. To bring it back to shape:
✔ Use a rich penetration hydrating moisturizer.
✔ If your skin is very dry, use a hydrating serum before makeup.
Step 3: Apply a Color-Correcting Primer
Holi color also deposits color or redness on the skin. A color-correcting primer smooths out your skin.
✔ Green primer cancels out redness.
✔ Peach/orange primer wipes out blue or purple undertones (such as circles around the eyes).
Step 4: Select a Light Foundation
After Holi, your skin must breathe. Replace heavy foundations with:
✔ A light, lightweight foundation or BB cream.
✔ Blend well to look fresh and natural.
Step 5: Cover Chronic Blemishes
If Holi colors caused dark spots or redness, cover them up with a concealer.
✔ Apply only where needed to avoid a cakey effect.
✔ Mix nicely to get that flawless, uniform complexion.
Step 6: Add a splash of Colour!
Your skin would look dull and pale post-Holi. Pump it up with:
✔ Subtle blush or bronzer for the natural radiance.
✔ Highlighter along cheekbones to brighten them up.
Step 7: Define Your Eyes
Make your eyes stand out by:
✔ Applying eyeliner for a sleek look.
✔ Mascara to give your lashes more thickness and length.
Step 8: Finish with the Ideal Lip Colour
A beautiful lip colour will finish the whole look!
✔ Choose a moisturizing lipstick or lip stain to give it a fresh, natural finish.
How to Camouflage Nasty Holi Stains with Makeup
Regardless of how much one scrubs, some Holi stains are here to stay. Fear not! Professionals at Grace & Glamour provide these makeup tips to hide lingering Holi marks:
