Festive beauty is about more than just makeup. For Navratri, your skincare routine, hairstyle and choice of beauty products all play a role in creating a look that lasts through hours of celebration. Whether you’re planning a bold Garba-night look or prefer understated festive glam, a little preparation can help you feel comfortable while keeping your look fresh.

For long celebrations, waterproof mascara , smudge-resistant kajal and comfortable, long-wearing lipstick are best, according to Riya. “I also love layering powder blush over cream blush for extra staying power,” said Riya.
