Kiara Advani’s Festive Beauty Formula: Mascara and a Bold Berry Lip
Kiara Advani shares her non-negotiable skincare step, the long-wear trick she learned on set, and the Maybelline Berry Bulfi shade she loves.
Kiara Advani’s latest beauty interview is a reminder that a reliable festive look doesn’t need a ten-step routine. Speaking with Lifestyle Asia India, the actor shared the one skincare habit she refuses to break, the makeup trick she picked up on set, and the lipstick shade she is reaching for this season.
It’s a low-effort beauty philosophy that lands at a useful moment: festive invitations are filling calendars, and many of us want a look that survives late dinners, dancing and back-to-back functions.
Makeup removal is her non-negotiable
Long shooting days can make an elaborate evening routine feel impossible, but Kiara keeps one rule simple. No matter how late she gets back, she removes her makeup before she sleeps.
“Taking my makeup off. Like no matter how late it is, I have to take my makeup off and then sleep.”
It’s a small discipline with an outsized payoff: skin gets to repair overnight, and issues like clogged pores and dullness get less room to build up.
The on-set trick for makeup that lasts
Her other backstage lesson is even simpler. Instead of chasing late-day touch-ups, Kiara credits good skin preparation as the reason a look stays flawless through demanding schedules. She pairs that prep with a long-wear lipstick, which means fewer reapplications and less product breakdown under lights.
It also reframes the long-wear conversation: before reaching for a stronger foundation, she starts with the base underneath it.
Her festive formula: mascara and a bold lip
For festive events, her answer is deliberately focused. She leans into expressive lashes and a statement lip, letting those two features carry the face.
The shade she calls out is Berry Bulfi, part of the Maybelline New York Vinyl Mithai Collection. In her words, it is a bold berry that brings out the features, especially on Indian skin.
“I mean right now for me, it’s the Maybelline New York Vinyl Mithai Collection. It is like the yummiest, yummiest, yummiest colours.”
For readers, that translates into a festive look that is easy to copy: defined lashes, well-prepped skin, and one high-impact lip.
The Toxic look that let her experiment
Kiara also pointed to her character Nadia in Toxic as an opportunity to push makeup further. Because Nadia is a circus performer, the look called for bold lips and bold eyes, and Kiara says the team leaned into the theatrical side of beauty.
It’s a contrast worth noting: her personal routine is built on restraint and reliability, while her on-screen work lets her play with drama.
What to borrow for your own festive routine
- Remove makeup before bed, even after the longest nights.
- Prep skin well and use a long-wear lipstick when the look has to hold.
- Keep festive makeup simple: lots of mascara plus one bold lip.
And if you need a smile-sized beauty affirmation, take Kiara’s: “May my concealer never crease.”
