Everyone's maxed out their glam this festive season, as we're sure your feed has been proof of. But now that we have a beat of rest, maximalism is giving way to balance. We're seeing controlled bronzing over heavy contour, à la Alia Bhatt, hydrated bases instead of glassy shine and neutral tones instead of blush blindness. The focus is on refining texture rather than adding layers, while hair and brows have been beautifully used to frame and lift the face with minimal interference.

Yami Gautam's skin has a natural, blurred finish that comes from using a fine-milled setting powder. There's minimal contouring, just subtle warmth through the cheeks. Brows are softly defined, lashes separated and eyes lined with brown kohl. The peachy-coral satin lips are a breath of fresh air amongst all the nudes and pinks we've been seeing.

Alia Bhatt's molten makeup emphasises controlled luminosity: a hydrated base layered with light foundation mixed in generously with a liquid bronzer and diffused highlighting on the temples and high points. The eyes followed a warm-toned palette with light brown across the lids and a touch of gold shimmer. The brows stayed full and the lips neutral. The result is a continuation of the glass-skin trend, but executed to look like a gorgeous, bronzed tan.
