Malaika Arora’s moody lip and Sushmita Sen’s shimmery lids lead this week’s best beauty looks

This week’s beauty looks clearly swung across a spectrum of moods. The lineup felt like a study in how different interpretations of glamour can coexist, pared back or lit up with colour. A refreshing reminder that beauty doesn’t have to move in one direction.

Sushmita Sen leaned into warmth and natural glow. Gold lids, glossy yet muted rose lips and ever-so-slightly sculpted skin lit with a golden highlight created a look that was glamorous, but evergreen. Her high ponytail tied everything together, giving the whole moment a neat finish.

Malaika Arora went with drama this week. Golden lids paired with a bold maroon lip and strong eyeliner brought in that unmistakable, high-impact glamour she wears so well. Subtle bangs softened the look.

Vaani Kapoor’s beauty moment was all about that lit-from-within radiance. Her hair in waves, ultra-dewy base, lots of blush mixed in with a liquid highlighter and a pink lip stain worked together to create that beachy flush. It was understated and wearable.

Kriti Sanon let a bolder, perfectly executed smoky lid play against a softer lip. Her half-up hairdo framed her face neatly, highlighting her cheekbones and giving the otherwise traditional look a modern feel. It had edge and elegance.

Tamannaah Bhatia embraced colour and whimsy. The sky blue shimmery eye (which felt like a classier take on the infamous Y2K blue eyeshadow), paired with nude lips and super natural pink blush delivered a high-impact contrast. A sleek bun grounded the look, keeping it contemporary and chic without losing the sense of fun.

Ananya Panday went for sultry and precise. Smudged eyeliner, nude lips and contoured-to-the-gods skin created a smouldering aesthetic. It moves easily from day to night, without needing adjustments.

Below, a closer look at the standout beauty moments from the week.
