How to: Pull off the retro look

They say you can never go wrong with a classic look. Old-school glamour is back with a bang and we spot the celebrities who hit the bull’s eye with these classic trends. Take some inspiration ladies!

DO BOLD RED LIPS
Kangana Ranaut

LIPS:  Nothing screams retro like a juicy pair of red lips. Channelling her inner-Marilyn Monroe, Kangana looked pout perfect with a high gloss vibrant cherry red lip colour. You can always count on Kangana to execute a trend perfectly.

EYES: There is a moment of major well-defined eyebrows, but all of that is balanced by softly smudged-in bronze eyeshadow backstage, and a hint of mascara. Kangana rocks a red lip and little other makeup (nude eyes and glowing skin) look for a striking red carpet look.

HAIR: Wear it left, right, up, down, wet or dry, it’s hard to overlook the classic super deep side-part hair trend. And who says gel is just for men?  In this case, Kangana’s gelled slick hair in the form of a side-part looks like she just walked out of an old Hollywood movie.

 
DO FELINE FLICKS
Anushka Sharma
EYES: Anushka has embraced the ’60s mod-inspired cat eye-shaped liner trend with élan. This perfectly-crafted retro cat eye accompanied by major lashes makes an impact and is super-simple to pull off. So don the sassy wingtip trend and watch heads turn as Anushka did.

HAIR: This super bouffant with a French twist and side parting is elegant and a classic look. Anushka has piled the right amount of hair on her head and the height of this updo is just right. It’s also a great way to keep hair off your neck and back.

LIPS: Anushka rightly paired a sassy cat eye and retro bouffant with a bright red pout.


DO FAUX CURLS
Dia Mirza
HAIR: The faux bob has been bobbing up and down the red carpet and Dia carries it off with panache. What’s obvious with this elegant, feminine look is that Dia didn’t try too hard—and that has worked to her advantage.

EYES: The eye makeup is neat and classy. No false lashes and no heavyduty kohl—the metallic eyeshadow gives her eyes that iridescent touch and the simple makeup make her eyes pop.

LIPS: Dia finishes her look with baby pink gloss that is understated and chic. Her lip colour complements the healthy, rosy flush on her cheeks.
