Richa Agarwal, the esteemed makeover expert and founder of the Cleopatra Chain of Makeovers and Salons, showcased a dazzling array of festive and Karwachauth makeovers in an exclusive preview event. Alongside beauty expert Harveen Kathuria, the presentation highlighted a seamless fusion of global beauty trends with traditional festive makeovers. The event also featured intricate hair styling, festive nail art, and stunning mehendi designs, each meticulously curated to suit the upcoming festive season.
During the event, models graced the stage, confidently showcasing the exquisite looks, making the trends come to life. From festive makeup donned skin to bold hairstyles, they embodied the spirit of festivity with every look.
Richa Agarwal explained how this year’s looks were crafted with a more daring approach. “This season, we reimagined traditional festive beauty, infusing it with global trends. The result was makeovers that were bold yet elegant, with subtlety that allowed each woman to shine. Every detail, from the hair to the makeup, reflected confidence and modern sophistication, perfectly blending with the spirit of the festive season,” she said.
The models displayed a variety of makeup looks that exuded both elegance and modernity. One of the highlights was the radiant **glass makeup look**, which made the models’ skin appear effortlessly smooth and glowing with a natural sheen. Another standout was the soft, feminine **rose quartz makeup**, featuring delicate pink tones with a shimmer that evoked the timeless beauty of the stone. The **ombre gold glow makeup** made a luxurious statement, blending warm golden tones to create a sun-kissed effect. Meanwhile, the **festive makeup for Karwachauth** combined dramatic eyes with bold lips, offering a refined yet striking look that was perfect for evening celebrations.
On the hair front, the Cleopatra Chain introduced seven of the season’s trendiest hairstyles, all elevated with bold accessories. This year saw a shift away from the floral touches used in the past. Instead, bold hair accessories such as jeweled pins, elegant chains, **gota patti**, and traditional **parandas** added a daring edge to each style. From sleek buns to soft beach waves, and metallic accents, the hairstyles were designed to be both versatile and captivating, complementing both traditional and contemporary festive outfits.
In discussing how this year’s looks differed from previous years, Richa Agarwal remarked, “Last year, the focus was on soft floral details and minimalist styling, but this year, we’ve embraced a bolder aesthetic. The makeup leaned into deeper hues and metallics, creating a more striking appearance while maintaining a subtle elegance. The hair accessories have also evolved from delicate floral touches to more elaborate statement pieces, adding drama and sophistication to every look.”
With its creative vision for the festive season, the Cleopatra Chain of Salons has once again redefined festive beauty. The makeovers presented not only highlighted the perfect balance between global trends and traditional styles, but also embodied the modern woman’s desire for bold, elegant and ultra glamorous looks
