Professional artists in salons can take this excellent opportunity to offer special karwa chauth makeup and hairstyle services to highlight their elegance and grace. In this blog, we shall cover the trending karva chauth hairstyle and makeup ideas that will leave your clients looking and feeling their best. Whether your clients are wearing sarees, lehengas or suits, you can effortlessly create stylish and elegant looks.
Waterfall Curls with Traditional Bold Eyes
Curls can exude elegance and also highlight facial features by adding a chic and romantic vibe to the overall look. Elevate the hairstyle by creating waterfall curls, a beautiful and cascading hairstyle that gently ‘waterfalls’ down. Pair this graceful style with traditional bold eye makeup.
- Brush the hair to detangle and ensuring it is smooth and easy to work with.
- Section the hair into two top and bottom parts wherein the top half is clipped to focus on the bottom layer.
- Use the Pro Curl Master Multi Tong Hair Curler to choose between the 4 different interchangeable barrels as per your client's hair type and karwa chauth hair style curls desired to wrap small sections of hair 1 inch away from the root.
- Once done, gently run your fingers through the curls to loosen them and give them a natural look.
- Start braiding the hair above the ear (try French braid) by dropping the bottom strand after each crossover instead of pulling it into the braid to create the waterfall look.
- Pick up another section of hair from directly below the braid to add it to the top strand before crossing over again. Repeat for another section until you reach the back and secure with a clear elastic band.
- Set the style with a light hold hair spray and accessorize with flowers or decorative pins.
For the karwa chauth makeup:
- Apply a bronze or golden shimmer eyeshadow on the lids and create depth in the crease with warm orange or brown.
- Add definition to the eyes with black eyeliner to create a slight wing followed by kajal on the lower waterline.
- Finish with false lashes to add more volume and make the eyes truly pop.
Crimped Low Ponytail with Rosy Blush and Contouring
- Start by straightening the hair of your client using a professional hair straightener to create a good base. You can skip this part if your client is blessed with sleek and healthy hair.
- Create a middle parting and divide the hair into multiple sections using Section Clips by Vega Professional for easy styling.
- Start crimping the hair, one section at a time using the Pro Titanium Micro Crimp Hair Crimper with 44mm wide titanium microplates, adjustable temperature from 80°C to 250°C and 30 seconds ultra-fast heat up.
- Once done, tie the hair into a low ponytail at the nape of the neck and finish the look with a maang tikka or heavy accessories that match with the attire.
For the makeup:
- Create the base by blending foundation.
- Lightly contour the face with a bronzer using our professional makeup brushes under the cheekbones, sides of the nose and jawline to add definition.
- Apply a rosy or peach blush on the apples of the cheeks to create a pretty look.
- Complete the look with a bright lipstick and slight shimmer eyeliner with a nude eyeshadow base.
Classic Bun (Juda) with Flawless Base and Dewy Glow
The classic bun is a timeless karwa chauth hairstyle that goes perfectly well with flowers and a dewy makeup look. You can give it a modern twist by adding volume, intricate braids or accessories like pearls, flowers and more.
- Start by blow-drying the hair with a professional hair dryer and a round brush to give texture.
- Lift the crown area using a teasing comb and create a low or high bun that is neatly pinned with bobby pins.
- Add fresh jasmine flowers or sparkling hairpins to give a festive touch that matches with your client’s traditional saree, suit or lehenga.
For the makeup:
- Prep the skin with a hydrating primer and apply a liquid foundation ensuring it is properly blend.
- Set the foundation with a translucent powder and focus on the T-zone more while also making sure that the rest of the face has enough glow.
- Apply concealer using Vega Professional Concealer Buffer Brush to the required areas such as above and below the brow, inner corners and under the eyes, chin and areas around the mouth.
- Gently tap a liquid highlighter on the cheekbones, nose bridge, brow bones and the cupid’s bow to give a luminous effect.
- Finish off this natural karva chauth makeup look with nude lipstick, winged eyeliner and light blush.
