It's a makeup lover's paradise on Sonam Kapoor's Instagram profile and we simply cannot get enough of it.
1. Red Lips Are Always A Good Idea
There's a red lipstick for everyone. You may have to find your match keeping in mind shades and undertones but once you do, there's no coming back. Sonam Kapoor's frequent red lipstick looks are proof that no matter what the ensemble, you can't go wrong with a red lip.
2. Focus On One Feature
It can be exciting to go all out when you're putting together a makeup look. Sometimes it even sounds appealing however, when pieced together it can look excessive and over the top. Sonam has shown us that whether it's the lips, eyes or cheeks, choose one feature and run with it.

3. Match Your Makeup To The Ensemble
One of the highlights of Sonam's spectacular makeup game is how easily she transforms her look and how she keeps all factors in mind. Whether she's attending a wedding in a glitzy lehenga or turning heads in a sleek pantsuit, her makeup look is always crafted keeping the outfit in mind.
4. Pared Down Is Never Boring
Even on days when you don't want to wear a bright pink lipstick or black smokey eyes, that doesn't mean makeup has to be dull. Sonam has shown us that even the combination of a perfected complexion with defined brows and a flush of colour on the cheeks is enough to make an impact.
5. Have Fun With Your Look
Let yourself run wild with your makeup looks from time-to-time. Whether it's a graphic eyeliner or crystal studded lids like the star, there's so much of freedom to play around with the canvas that is your face.
6. Neutral Tones For The Win
Regardless of the outfit you choose, the colour palette you select or your skin tone, picking neutral toned makeup is a smart choice. Sonam often sports copper, bronze and brown toned makeup which works well for day or night looks easily.
