Get the look: Glam au naturel

With holiday parties in full swing, we think Anoushay's look will work perfectly with both family and friends.

Actor Anoushey Ashraf pulled off understated glam at the Brands Just Prêt event in Karachi.

With holiday parties in full swing, we think her look will work perfectly with both family and friends.

Between a stunning dress like this and au naturel make-up, you can bag the belle of the ball prize!

Hair and Make-up

 



Happening hemlines call for simple hairstyles, and Anoushey pulled hers off well. Poker straight, with just a hint of volume, her hair checks all the right boxes. We recommend a product for frizz control to keep your locks rocking throughout the night, especially in this dry weather.

Anoushey goes pastel with mint green smokey eyes, instead of the typical black. We recommend you invest in the Red Earth eye shadow to get what we think is a twist to the usual smokey eye. For lipstick, we suggest a nude shade by MAC, there’s a whole range to pick from. Finish it off with Bodyshop’s finishing gloss in pink for a natural shine to your pout. Use Bobbi Brown’s blush-bronzer palette to highlight those cheeks and you’re good to go!

Outfit

Anoushey wears a gorgeous Ayesha-Somaya kameez which flatters her physique. Flowing and floaty, the top gives Anoushey a dressy look without being too formal. The colours flatter her skin tone, while the cut draws attention to the collar detail and brooch. The irregular hemline gives the dress an interesting dimension. We recommend going for coloured instead of black tights however, as black can make your look too casual.

Shoes and accessories



Invest in a smart pair of black heels because they go with everything. Try these peep toes from Charles and Keith if you don’t want to break your bank. We can’t emphasise on their importance enough. For accessories, Anoushey has gone minimal, except for a white watch which was all the rage this year. This silver and white beauty can be bought from Anne Klein or New York & Co.



That’s one party down, what will you wear to the next?
