Trust Janhvi Kapoor to don big, voluminous curls and make them look glamorous. We saw the ‘strawberry girl’ makeup look come to life with pink on her cheeks, eyes and lips. While these soft pink tones brought out her natural flush, her glossy lips pulled focus to her pout.
Kubbra Sait
Matte is back–and Kubbra Sait showed us just how to perfect it with this look at the ELLE Beauty Awards 2023. Her look, complete with brown eyeshadow, defined eyebrows and coral blush, did justice to the sexy silhouette of her dress. Her hair was pulled into a 90’s style spikey bun with sleek sides.

Who knew a high ponytail would look oh-so-stylish when paired with sultry, smokey eyes and a nude lip? Well, take a look at Ananya Panday who won the ELLE Style Icon at the ELLE Beauty Awards 2023. She clearly also let her skin do all the talking with her natural, flawless base.

Red lips and winged eyeliner–this was Divya Khosla Kumar’s makeup look for the night. She played with shades of red by matching the red on her lips with that of her gown. And yes, her high doughnut bun was a big hit!
Shanaya Kapoor

Shanaya Kapoor’s fluttery lashes and glossy mauve lips made for the perfect makeup look to go along with her wet, pulled-back hair. And, if you look closely, her hair was sparkling just as much as her highlighter. The actress looked stunning as she walked to accept the ELLE Rising Star Award at the ELLE Beauty Awards 2023.
Bhumi Pednekar

Who better than Mira Kapoor to let her skin shine through her makeup? With an ultra-dewy base and highlighted cheeks, she walked the ELLE Beauty Awards 2023 red carpet with arched eyebrows and nude lips. She looked rather stunning while receiving her ELLE Beyond Beaty Award.

Glowy base was clearly the order of the day. Rakul Preet Singh wore shimmery copper tones in all the right places–her eyeshadow and across her cheeks. She finished the look off with nude on her lips that perfectly complimented her baby pink outfit.
Vaani Kapoor

Vaani Kapoor brought home her glowy goodness with a golden décolletage and flawless base paired with smoked-out eyes, muted lips and lifted blush that accentuated her high cheekbones. Don’t miss her hair styled into a French roll with side bangs softly framing her face.
Alaya F

Is this the year of pulled-back hair? Alaya F’s sleek, twisted braid surely inspires us to try one out for ourselves. Although her makeup was kept subtle with a soft mini wing, it perfectly complimented her hairstyle–complete with pearls going all the way to the end of her long locks.
