* To make your contour more intense use bronzing powder on it.

* To create the perfect gradation, highlight the cheek bone with illuminator.
* With the help of fan brush, gently apply highlighter on the temples of your face.
* For eye:

Aashmeen Munjaal, Hair and Make-up Expert at Star Salon, shares tips:
* For eyes: Eyes can be kept minimal with just a stroke of kajal and matte finish eyeliner or can be decked up with a shimmery smokey eye look that makes your look more glamorous. You can also go for ombre eye makeup to make your look more soaked in festivity.
* For face: Do not use heavy make-up. Try to keep it minimal, simple, and natural waterproof is something you should go for according to your skin type. Use primer before applying the foundation to keep your skin hyderated.
* For hair: Hairstyles as in trend are preferred to be simple with curls, wavy and tongs but during humid weather they will become sticky and lose their composition. Go for braided hairstyles, side buns and low, messy buns, Victorian braids, either fully tucked or semi tucked as per your face cut in that case.
* For lips: If you are wearing monotone coloured outfits, then opt for matte deep red which goes with all skin types. With vibrant coloured clothes go for glossy nude shades.
