Dussehra 2024: Guide to outfits, makeup, drama

Dussehra is here and it’s time to bring your fashion A-game! Whether you’re attending a celebration or just vibing with family, getting ready for this day requires some major style and beauty prep. So, let’s break it down: from outfit to makeup, here’s your ultimate guide to slaying Dussehra like the queen you are.

Outfit: Traditional, but make it OTT

First things first—your outfit. Dussehra screams traditional, so we’re talking sarees, lehengas, or anarkalis . But let’s be clear: you don’t need to look like you’re straight out of a wedding. Think effortless, breezy, and still serving looks. Opt for vibrant colours— reds, oranges, golds, and deep blues are perfect to channel those goddess vibes. If you’re going saree, go for a silk or a light organza drape, pairing it with a modern, sleeveless blouse or one with quirky cutouts. Draping it a little less conventional? Yes, please. For a lehenga, keep it minimal but glam . Think flowy skirts with edgy crop tops or jackets.

Pro tip: Mix and match to give your look a fresh spin.

Want something more comfortable? An anarkali with a belt can elevate your look from “I tried” to “I nailed it.”

Makeup: Glowy, but with a side of drama

Now, let’s talk about makeup, because who doesn’t love a little extra drama ? This is the perfect excuse to go bold but keep it chic.

Base: Glow up, don’t cake up. Start with a hydrating primer and go for a dewy foundation or BB cream. Remember: less is more. You want to look like you’ve got that post-facial glow, not like you’re auditioning for a role in Anupamaa.

Eyes: Wing it out. Dussehra is the time to go bold with your eyes, so bring out that black liner and create a killer wing. Top it off with some golden or shimmery eyeshadow to add that festive sparkle.

Brows & Lashes: Bold brows and fluttery lashes are essential. Don’t shy away from using a volumizing mascara or even falsies if you’re feeling extra.

Lips: Go bright or go home. Pick a bold lip color— deep reds, berries, or even a poppy orange. Balance it out if your eyes are already dramatic, but let’s be real, Dussehra is the time to experiment.

Hair: Goddess-level glam

Loose waves, slicked-back buns, or even a messy updo—the choice is yours! If you’re wearing something heavy on the neck, a low, sleek bun can really accentuate your neckline. Add some gajra (flower hair accessory) if you’re going full-on traditional, keep it wavy and flowy for that carefree, boho vibe.

Accessories: Less is more, but not on Dussehra

Dussehra is the time to pile on the glam—so get those chunky earrings, statement bangles, and bold necklaces out of the closet! But remember, if your outfit is already OTT, pick one statement piece and let it shine, and jhumkas or chandbalis are a no-brainer with sarees or lehengas.
