Start with setting proper base. First use concealer to hide blemishes and then use a foundation suiting your skin tone.
Next, choose a nude or peachy blusher. Then apply it on the apple of your cheeks. After this, use a highlighter to enhance the shape of the face.

Eyes are a significant part of the overall makeup. Therefore, work on making the eyes as expressive as possible.
Some Orissi Girls opt for small red and white bindis surrounded all above the eyebrows.
Then, use a primer to set a base for the eye makeup. Now choose an eyeshadow of your choice and apply a thin stroke of eyeliner on the outer line and water line.
Complete the eye makeup with kohl kajal and mascara.
