Sonam Kapoor’s monochrome makeup is a masterclass in tone-on-tone beauty

When Sonam Kapoor and Namrata Soni reunite, the beauty stakes are high. Styled in tonal rose by and layered in heirloom jewellery, the actor’s makeup echoed the rich textures of the Dior ensemble.

Instead of fighting the pinks, her beauty look leaned in: softly flushed cheeks, rose-taupe lids and a creamy nude-rose lip that mirrored the satin shirt. The eyeliner was present but not theatrical, used to shape and lift, rather than dramatise.

Her skin was even and lightly luminous, with a flush of peach-pink on the cheeks. Softly set hair and a centre part added ease to the otherwise regal styling. It was glam done with a soft hand; the kind of look that flatters without feeling costume-y.

To recreate the look on Sonam Kapoor, follow the steps below:

1. Begin with a gentle cleanse and follow up with a hydrating serum and moisturiser to create a smooth, supple canvas. Add a lightweight, glow-boosting primer to subtly illuminate the high points.
2. Use a medium-coverage foundation with a natural finish—nothing too dewy or flat. Blend it in with a damp sponge for a seamless effect that still looks like skin. Apply concealer where needed under the eyes, around the nose and any areas that need brightening.
3. Choose a cream or powder blush in a muted pink or rose shade and blend it across the apples of the cheeks, pulling it slightly upward for lift. Avoid intense contouring; instead, use a neutral-toned bronzer just under the cheekbones and along the perimeter of the face for some warmth.
4. Brush brows upward and fill in sparse areas with a brow pencil or powder that matches your natural tone. Set them in place with a clear or tinted gel. Keep the shape natural but clean.
5. Sweep a taupe-rose eyeshadow across the lids, blending softly into the crease. Line the upper lash line with a brown or black gel liner, flicking it slightly upward at the outer corners for lift. Tightline the upper waterline to subtly enhance depth, and finish with a few coats of lengthening mascara.
6. Line the lips with a nude-rose pencil for structure, then fill in with a satin or cream-finish lipstick in a soft pinky-nude. A touch of gloss at the centre of the lips adds fullness without shine overload.
7. Use a finely milled setting powder only on the T-zone to prevent shine, keeping the rest of the skin radiant. Finish with a spritz of setting spray to meld all the layers together.
