Tricolour makeup

The key to patriotic makeup is balance. Start with a fresh, natural base and let one element stand out. For the eyes, you can create a soft tricolour effect by blending saffron, white shimmer and green along the eyelids, keeping the colours diffused rather than bold. If that feels too dramatic, opt for a neutral eye look and add a tiny Ashoka Chakra or tricolour stripe near the outer corner using eyeliner. Nude or peach lips work best to keep the focus on the eyes, while a hint of saffron or coral blush adds warmth.
