To begin with, know your skin tone. Usually, earthy colours look good on Indian skin tones. Pick colours that have orange or yellow tint as they go well with most of Indian complexions. To make sure you look your best this party season, we`ve put together a list of colours that are hot right now.

Go deep: Matte colours will be a rage. Go for hues like maroon, deep red, plum and more. They give perfect wintery look and rustic charm. Use coral blush to highlight cheekbones.

Electric hues: Dazzle the party with a little drama and excitement. Choose eye makeup colours in electric shades like cobalt blue, emerald green, ostentatious orange, etc. Wear these on the upper or lower rim. To highlight eyelids use colours like brown, beige, gold or pastel.

Neon pops: These shades flatters Indian skin very well. Experiment with hot pink, orange, lime, green and red hues.
