Wamika Bajaj, a professional makeup artist and educator, shared that to achieve a perfect Diwali look, all you need to know is how to balance your makeup. "Dark lips look really nice in the winter season. So, if you want your lips to be bold, then prefer keeping the eyes muted, with a simple winged-eyeliner and nude eyes," she said. (Unsplash)

For those interested in experimenting with their looks this Diwali, Wamika suggested playing with their eye-makeup.

For those in a rush and with no time on their hands, Wamika suggested, "Just do your CTM (cleansing, toning, moisturising), use a concealer and set it with powder. No foundation is required. Top it with a blush, highlighter, lipper, a little shimmery eyeshadow and you are good to go. Set it with a spray or a mist. It will only take five to seven minutes to achieve this look." (Unsplash)
