Retro look: Dos and Don'ts
Retro curls and sun-kissed skin are safe bets for any occasion. We list out looks that work and those that don’t.
DO UBER GLAM
Sridevi
Hair: Sridevi channels old Hollywood glamour in this retro faux bob. It accentuates her jawline and is a welcome break from her usually casual hairdos. Lips: She nails the oxblood lip trend with élan without screaming for attention. Face: Her face has got a great balance of textures. When you go this dark on the lips, it’s better to leave your cheeks bare, but she pulls it off with this colour.

Neha Bhasin
Hair: We get what Neha is trying to do, but it’s just not working. Matching your hair colour to your dress is not the way to go. Lips: Red is probably her favourite colour. Ours too—but not in combination with all the reds from the spectrum. Face: The rest of the makeup is not as much of a letdown, barring those too touched eyebrows.
Yukta Mookhey
Eyes: What happened to former Miss World Yukta Mookhey? Looks like she gave away her makeup skills along with the crown. Sky blue eyeshadow on an almost white base complements her jacket, but does nothing for her. Face: She should have at least made an effort to match her neck and décolletage. Hair: Her hair deserved a little more volume. A partial bouffant or a high ponytail would have helped a little.
