It is that time of the year again, when people from different parts of the country come together to celebrate the spirit of unity; a unique amalgamation of varied religions, cultures, beliefs and ideologies.  Enter the 66th year of independence by embracing your patriotism and making a style statement like never before.

Aakriti Kochar, Make-up and beauty Expert, Oriflame India brings to you, two exciting ways to wear the Indian flag. Here’s how you go about it:

Look 1:

• Prep your eyes with a little concealer and powder it to bring out the colors and make them stay longer.
• Take matte orange eye shadow and dab on the inner 1/3rd part of the eye lid. Make sure the quantity is enough to highlight the orange tone.
• Next, dab matte green eye shadow on the outer 1/3rd portion of the eye lid, going up till the crease. Blend the edges on the crease; do not leave a harsh line.
• Add white eye shadow to the centre of the eye lid. This completes the tri color flag, as well as adds as highlights the centre of eye lid, eventually making eyes look bigger.
• Add some highlighter to the arch of the eye brow. Later, soften the edges of the colors using a fluffy brush.
• To add definition to the eyes, use eyeliner and mascara. Defining the eye brows will complete the eye makeup.

Look 2:

• To carry the Indian flag in a different style, wear the colors how you normally wear eye makeup.
• Contour the eyes using a green/emerald eye shadow softly blended all through the crease.
• Add orange to the eye lid, perfectly blending with the edges of green eye shadow.
• Add a dash of the  green eye shadow to the lower eye lid. 
• Add hints of white at the arch of the eye brow, inner corner of the eyes.
• Apart from completing the tri color look; this also makes your eyes look bigger and brighter.
• Define the eyes with an eye liner extend outwards to lift the eyes.
• Add eye kohl to the water line and finish with lots of mascara to the lashes.
• Groom your brows with an angular brush using a dark brown eye shadow.
