The Ultimate Jewel For Your Eyes
Any festive season is incomplete without you adorning yourself from head to toe with exquisite ornaments and embellished outfits. So naturally, when it comes to makeup, every part of your face has to be gilded with pigmented sparkles that make you look brighter than any diyas you light. But if you are a minimal girlie who’s looking to add that touch of glitz and glam without the intense multi-digit routine, then the newly launched Lakmē Be-Jewel Satin Eye Tints are for you. These eye tints are no less than fine jewellery, but for your eyes. It costs a lot less than gold, but the undeniable je ne sais quoi is what makes it the perfect addition to a festive makeup vanity. The best part? All you need is one swipe of these eye tints to create any look that’s on par with the vibe of the night.
4 Jewel-Toned Eye Makeup Looks For The Festive Season
At the Nykaa HQ, we experimented with the Lakmē Be-Jewel Satin Eye Tints and created four looks that you can re-create with just two of the tints each. Simply dab, swipe, and smudge, and there you have it, an eye makeup look that comes to life in just a few seconds. You don’t even need brushes or heavy eye primers; these highly pigmented, light-catching, diffused shimmers leave a lasting, buildable, and lightweight finish that makes your eyes pop like illuminating jewels.
Bejewelled Cat Eyes
This look is a no-brainer. If you have a warm undertone, this cat eye look that pairs the soft hues of peach with a striking accent of gold is just for you. Start with the Quartz eye tint in the inner corner of your eye and stretch it towards the middle, creating a sort of halo effect, followed by the Gold Rush eye tint on the outer corner of the eye and the top of your eyelid just under your brows. Use your fingers or a small, soft eyeshadow brush and gently blend the two to create a seamless gradient. Add some mascara and a faint line of eyeliner for that extra depth and definition.

Pink Smokey Eyes
If you have a simple outfit and you want your eyes to do the talking, then this pink smoky eye look is just what I would recommend. If you have a neutral or cool undertone, this look is going to complement your skin and make it look more even and thus brighter. Start with Opulence; her vibrant pink tones will set the mood for this look. Make sure you apply a thin layer of this shimmer all over the lid. Next, pick up Moonstone, which may appear white to the untrained eye, but the subtle lilac undertones perfectly balance the loudness of the pink. Dab this eye tint on the inner corner of your eyes and some on the centre, don’t blend the pigment, simply use an eyeshadow brush and soften the edges, but let that Moonstone shine. Pro Tip: Add some of that Moonstone eye tint on the bridge of your nose to tie the whole look together.

Latte Jewel Eyes
This is a softer look if you want to keep it low-key with your eyes. If you have almond or upturned eyelids, this look is perfect because there is already so much focus on your lids; this subdued colour combination will immaculately bring out your naturally elegant eyes. Start with the Goddess for a rich, deep brown tone, ideal for Indian skin tones. Follow it up with a touch of Hazel for warmth and depth. You can also add some of the Hazel pigment under your water line for a more defined look.

Blurred Festive Smudge Eyes
This has to be hands down the easiest look you can recreate. No matter what your undertone is, eye shape is, this look is a girl’s girl, she never disappoints, and always delivers. Start with Sepia, it’s a soft peachy, coral hue with a rich and earthy smudge, it’s subtle, it’s opulent, it’s old money. Finish it off with hints of Stardust between the inner corners of your eye and the bridge of your nose. It adds that much-needed festive, glittery effect that’s going to make heads turn.

FAQs

How to use an eye tint?
Eye tints are the easiest eye makeup product to use. Unlike eye shadows and eyeliners, you don’t need a brush or precision. Just dab, swipe, and smudge the product on your lids for the pigment to settle on your skin and crevices for a naturally radiant look. The best part about eye tints is that they are buildable, so you can start with little product and make your way into a bolder look with more pigment.
