Diwali reminds me of all the wonderful memories I have from my childhood, when we would all get together, burn firecrackers, eat delicious food, and then get dressed up for all the parties and get-togethers. I bought a few fuchsia and blue outfits for the festival this time and had no idea what makeup to wear. I kept thinking about the old gold, but I also wanted something bright to contrast with it. That's when the idea of combining plum and gold for the eyes came to me. Makeup artists say that if you have well-made-up eyes, you've already won half the battle. This look will be completed with a magenta or pink lip colour and bronzer.

1. Cover your eyes with concealer or a primer of your choice, whichever works best for you. Maybelline Dream Lumi Touch Highlighting Concealer was applied to the under eye area to conceal as well as add a subtle highlighting touch.

2. I applied the Revlon Colorstay Shadow Links Eyeshadow in Plum, which is slightly less pigmented, to my crease area with the Zoeva 234 brush, covering only two-thirds of it. I then blended the colour into the upper portion of the crease with the 227 brush to achieve a soft diffused look.

3. I applied Rebel (a dark plum) from the Sleek Divine Palette Bad Girl to the outer V and half of the eyelid with the Zoeva 231 pencil brush. Apply with caution because you don't want to go overboard. Begin with a small amount and build up the pigmentation gradually.

4. I then applied the Coloressence Pearl Effect Eye Shadow Pencil ? Antique Gold to the rest of my eyelids to create a base. I wanted the gold to stand out, so I used a gold base to highlight it.

5. Using the Colorbar Brush, I applied the Tuskan Gold eyeshadow to the top of the eyelid, where the golden base had been applied. I then blended the two colours together in a light back and forth motion with the Zoeva 227. This is the crucial step in which you must blend the colours properly without completely blending them.

6. Using the Zoeva 322, I added a layer by lightly lining the eyelid with black eyeshadow. On the lower lashes, I used the Faces Long Wear Eye Pencil Navy Blue and smudged it with the same brush.

7. Finally, I highlighted my brow bone with a thin layer of highlighting concealer and a white eye pencil. I filled in the brows with a soft brown eyeshadow and coated the eyelashes with three coats of Maybelline Volume' Express the Falsies Mascara.

Finally, here's a look for Diwali eye makeup.
