With Mary Jo K, you can choose from all things glam and serve looks for any saree type. From foundation and eye shadow to blush, we have affordable makeup that suits your style and budget.

Choosing the Right Base Makeup

A flawless base makeup is a must for any makeup look, especially for saree makeup. Start with prepping your skin with a hydrating primer that will help your glam last longer. A primer will also help blur out pores, fine lines, and textured skin to make your skin look smooth and spotless.

Next, choose an HD full coverage foundation in the shade that matches your skin tone. Choose a matte formula for evening events and a dewy formula for daytime looks. Use a concealer to hide dark circles and blemishes and highlight the center of your face.

Make sure to lock in your base makeup with translucent setting powder. Setting your base will ensure it stays sweat-proof, crease-free, and fresh for hours.

Eye Makeup to Match Your Saree Style

A stunning saree deserves eye makeup that says it all. Matching your eye makeup with your saree style is essential. For a classic banarasi saree go for gold tones and shimmer eyeshadow with winged eyeliner and kajal on your lower lash line. Apply a volumizing mascara for dramatic eyes.

Modern sarees like ruffled or organza look best with soft pastel or nude eyeshadows. Use a lengthening mascara to create long, fluttery lashes, and use a kajal pencil to tightline your eyes.

Eye makeup for partywear saree should be bold and red-carpet ready. Create a smoky eye using charcoal, bronze, or burgundy eyeshadow. Use waterproof eyeliner and mascara to survive the dancing all night.

Lip Colours Based on Saree Type & Occasion

Your lipstick shade can significantly enhance your entire makeup and saree outfit. Lipstick will tie the whole look together, so it is important to pick the right shade. 

Pastel Sarees

Pastel sarees are often styled for festive and daytime events. So go for coral, peach, nude, or rose pink shades. Use a creamy lipstick formula to match the dewy daytime makeup.

Bold-Coloured Sarees

Bold and vibrant sarees are often worn for traditional and cultural occasions. A classic red or maroon lipstick pairs well with traditional saree styles. Use a matte formula for a regal look.

Evening Sarees

Sarees worn to weddings, parties, and fancy events need balanced makeup with bold eyes and subtle lips. Nude brown, dusty pink or plum shades of matte lip gloss create a chic look. 

Blush & Highlighter for a Balanced Look

Paying attention to your cheeks will make your saree makeup more charming. Choose soft pink, peach or coral tones of blush based on your skin tone. Apply the blush on the apples of your cheeks and blend it upwards for a lifted look. Add a golden or champagne highlighter on your cheekbones, brow bones and bridge of your nose to create a naturally radiant appearance.
