There are a million reasons why we love Mouni Roy and her superior acting chops is just one of them. Every time the actress posts something on her Instagram page, we are bowled over by her impeccable fashion sense and beauty game. This is exactly why you’d find us stalking the actress every time we’re running low on makeup inspiration.
Just recently, the actress posted a picture of herself wearing a simple beige tank top with a tasselled denim jacket. She paired this casual day-time outfit with a fresh base and a subtle smokey eye. If you’ve always wondered how to pull off a smokey eye during the day, then this makeup look on Mouni is all the inspo you need. Scroll down for a quick guide on how to recreate this smokey eye makeup look in five simple steps. Read on…

Step 01: After your CTM routine, dot your entire face with the Lakmé 9 To 5 Primer + Matte Perfect Cover Foundation and blend it with a damp makeup sponge. Enriched with the benefits of primer and foundation, this will give you a flawless, natural-looking base like Mouni’s.
Step 02: Next, add a flush of colour to your face by applying some of the Lakmé Absolute Face Stylist Blush Duos – Rose Blush to the apples of your cheeks and the tip of your nose.
Step 03: Create a rough line on your eyelids using the Lakmé Absolute Kohl Ultimate Kajal – Black and smudge it out using the smudger at the other end of the pencil. Extend the line outwards to create a small wing. Repeat the same process on your waterline.
Step 04: Brush your eyebrows with a spoolie and fill in the sparse areas using the Lakmé Absolute Micro Brow Perfecter for bold and defined brows just like Mouni.
Step 05: Balance out the bold eye makeup look with a soft, nude pout similar to Mouni’s. Simply swipe on two coats of the Lakmé Cushion Matte Lipstick - Pink Blush to achieve this quick and simple daytime smokey eye makeup look.
