Use a larger brush to apply a dark green eyeshadow to the outer corner of your eyelid. Blend the colours together by using a blending brush, ensuring that there are no harsh lines between the colors. Apply a coat of mascara to your lashes, and you’re done!
2. Tricolour nails
A tricolour nail design is a great way to show your patriotism on Republic Day. Firstly, apply a base coat to protect your nails and help the colours to adhere better. The Indian flag’s three colours can be used to make whatever pattern you like. You can also use tape or stencils to create clean lines between the colours, or use a dotting tool to create a dotted pattern. If you want to make your nails more interesting, you can add some glitter or rhinestone on top of the nails. Remember to use high-quality nail polish and a steady hand for the best results.

Apply a highlighter or illuminator to the tops of your cheekbones and blend it in. Add a touch of bronzer to your temples and jawline to add more dimension to your face. Remember to choose colors that complement your skin tone. You can also experiment with the placement of the colors to find a look that works best for you.
