Taking from the debut of the 2024/25 Fashion X Beauty Lakmē Fashion Week Trend Edition Created by Peclers and presented by the House of Lakmē, forecasted radiant ‘Nighttime Sun’ in beauty that manifested incredibly on the runway. Creating a fusion of day and night, bringing together graphic tropical aesthetics and volcanic minimalism with glistening skin, these looks were all about being sun-kissed and carefree, transporting one to an atmosphere that vibrates with the heat of an endless summer. Imagine laid-back vibes and a touch of rebellion in the air, with bold statement colours and a sparkle of sun on their cheeks.

Structured, chiseled contour added to the drama, complementing the 3D applique and smartly tailored collections. Going beyond using makeup to cover up and pivoting towards creating sculpted confidence, the edgy makeup looks further defined the shapes, cuts and creases of the outfits.

Get The Look: The Lakmē MultiSlayer Contour Sticks that offer a non-cakey formula that results in a natural finish elevating the overall look. The streak-free and non-cakey application provides a sculpted contour effect, particularly enhancing cheekbones and offering definition to the jawline and cheekbones.

Trends may come and go but bold eyes that turn heads are here to stay. We're moving beyond the realm of everyday application and embracing artistry that will leave onlookers mesmerized. Graphic eyeliner takes center stage, soaring beyond the lash line in unexpected flourishes. A statement thick eyeliner, smokey eyes or a nude look – play up the eyes as the ultimate canvas.

Get The Look: The Lakmē Eyeconic Kajal that is smudge proof and waterproof. Pair it with the MultiSlayer Face Stick for a flawless foundation base.

 

DELICATELY ORGANIC BEAUTY
