What’s your way of expressing love? Do you write sweet notes to your partner? Do you plan adventures or is your love language cooking a special meal? Does exchanging gifts make you both truly happy? We all have special ways of celebrating our unique relationships, which are captured beautifully in Nykaa’s Karva Chauth special, Sorry Sorry. Starring Adah Sharma and Rohan Mehra, the video captures a young couple’s rituals of love and their own take on Karva Chauth celebrations. If her beauty look has inspired you to try it for your own celebrations, our breakdown and product recommendations will help you DIY.
Bath & Body
Rituals of love should always begin with you. Spend some time relaxing and pampering yourself with an invigorating shower or bath. Use fragrances and bath products that instantly lift your mood. Prep your skin with a face scrub, clay mask, and aromatic cleansers.

Moisturise
Indulge in some deep hydration with natural facial oils, scented lotions that truly moisturise your skin, and serums or gels that will add radiance with ingredients like vitamin C. Glow up before you start your makeup!

Face
Start with a primer and a concealer. Pick a shade of foundation that fits and apply as you need. You can mix the shade with a moisturiser that will seep into your skin for a dewy look. Add some blush for some colour and pat on some highlighter for an instant glow. Keep a compact handy, just in case.

Eyes
You can choose a dramatic route for your eyes or stick to a subtle smoky look. Start with a base eyeshadow moving to darker shades as you need. Add some shimmer at the edges. Fix your brows with a eyebrow shaper and pencil. Finish with a volume-building mascara to accentuate your lashes.

Lips
Shades of red are a classic pick for Karwa Chauth. From a deep oxblood to a coral with a pinkish hue, go with one that best suits your mood and ensemble. Prep by first dabbing your lips with a tinted balm for some nourishment and base colour, then swipe on your favourite hue in a texture of your choice; we love liquid mattes for the lasting finish and saturated colours.
