Makeup & Skincare Ideas for Karva Chauth 2025

Karva Chauth isn’t just about fasting from sunrise to moonrise; it’s about celebrating love, tradition, and of course, looking like an absolute queen while doing it. Between juggling sargi, picking the perfect outfit, and planning that Insta-worthy thali shot, one thing that can’t be missed is your beauty prep. After all, glowing skin and a stunning Karva Chauth makeup look are as much a part of the festival as the moon sighting itself.

But no amount of heavy contour or bold lipstick will truly shine if your skin isn’t happy underneath. That’s where a smart mix of skin care products and make-up products swoops in to save the day. And with The Body Shop’s skincare and makeup must-haves, you can glow through the day, keep your glam intact through the rituals, and still look fresh enough to snap a post-fast selfie without filters.

Ready to prep, pamper, and slay? Let’s dive into some beauty ideas that’ll keep you glowing long after the moonrise.

Pre-Glam Prep: Skincare for Your Swoon-Worthy Glow

Before diving into that Karva Chauth makeup, let’s talk skincare because glowing skin is the ultimate makeup accessory. Begin with a gentle cleanse using, say, The Body Shop’s Camomile Jelly One Step Cleanser. Layer on a feather-light moisturiser like Aloe Soothing Day Cream that hydrates and relieves dryness.

If you’re a night owl wrapping things up just before Karva Chauth, let a rich overnight cream like the Oils of Life Sleeping Cream work its magic while you snooze. Holy grail-level glow on wake-up? Check.

That Foundation, Baby: Base Is Everything

On D-day, skip cakey foundations and go for a skin tint or foundation: layerable, breathable, and totally friendly to your skin. Choose between The Body Shop Fresh Nude Foundation or Second Skin Tint, depending on your vibe. Always match foundation shades to your unique skin tone. The Body Shop offers guides to find your perfect match so you look like a glowing goddess, not a painted canvas.

Eye-Candy: The Drama’s in the Eyes

Now onto make-up products that bring all the feels. Eyes? Girl, they’re the window to your “I’ve been fasting” soul. Grab our Freestyle Multi-Tasking Crayons that come in a variety of fun, flattering shades and a mix of matte and shimmer finishes.

Maybe you want a soft, dreamy vibe or want to channel your inner Bollywood glam queen; the choice and colours are yours. Blend with army-level precision using our Eyeshadow Blending Brush.

Lip Service: Kiss-Proof Your Karva Chauth Look

Let’s talk lips because your smile is the real showstopper of Karva Chauth. Think skin care products like a nourishing lip butter or a long-lasting, tinted balm like Swipe It Moisturising Lip Balm that keeps your pout soft but stay-worthy.

If you’re looking for something that caters to your Karva Chauth makeup look and takes care of your lips, too, then check out our Sheer Touch Lip & Cheek Tint. Smart glam, right there.

Fast-Break Facials & Post-Festive Skin TLC

After all the shenanigans and that meal under the moonlight, don’t forget to de-glam just as fabulously. Use our Camomile Sumptuous Makeup Cleansing Butter that dissolves makeup in under 30 seconds (yes!).

Follow up with a hydrating face mask like the Mediterranean Almond Milk with Oats Instant Soothing Mask. It helps your skin recover from makeup and hunger pangs, too (JK). Keep it light, keep it kind, like always.

Closing Thoughts

With skin care products that really work, make-up products that your skin can trust, and that dreamy Karva Chauth makeup look powered by The Body Shop's thoughtful lineup, you’re not just glowy, you’re gathering all the compliments (and love, too).
