So to achieve the perfect Navratri look it requires a balance of bold colors, glowing skin, and long-lasting makeup to withstand hours of celebrations.

​Step 1: Prepping the Skin for a Flawless Base

Now, let's start with the first step: prepping. Before applying makeup, it’s essential to prep your skin to stay fresh throughout the day.

Go with the Caffeine Berries Brightening Coffee Face Scrub. This product is available online. It will nicely remove the dead skin cells from your face and give you glowing and smooth skin for Navratri.

3. Moisturize—After you are done with exfoliation, apply a lightweight and hydrating moisturizer to keep the skin soft and supple. For this, let's go with Pond's Super Light Gel Oil Free Moisturiser, available online. This cream is lightweight, hydrating, and infused with Hyaluronic Acid.

2. Concealer: After applying the foundation well, apply concealer to hide the blemishes and dark circles. Go with e.l.f. 16HR Camo Concealer, Full Coverage on Amazon. This concealer hides your dark circles and blemishes. But the catch is that you must be very smooth and focus on the points you want to hide.

This powder will set everything in place. Now, you can enjoy the garba and pooja without being tensed about makeup fading away.
