The Filmfare Pre-awards party was a treat for fashionistas everywhere. It was only once we’d had our fill of the outfits that we noticed the details of the hair and makeup. Considering that the styling of a look is half of any ensemble, we think that the hair and makeup that these ladies opted for richly deserve their very feature. So here goes.
Aditi Rao Hydari swept the hair on the crown all the way back, which put her face in the spotlight.

Her side swept curly ponytail was both elegant and chic. And her shade of light red lippie suits her skin tone so beautifully it may as well have been made for her.
Deepika Padukone went with a clear makeup palette. But don’t be fooled into thinking that it made her look plainer than her contemporaries that evening.

Her brown tresses were styled in curls and brushed over one shoulder while a thick layer of blue liner lit up her peepers. It was perhaps a bit too thick, but considering the dramatic dress code and the event in question we think she managed to pull it off.
Konkana Sen chose glossy lips and fake eyelashes that were meticulously mascarraed and lined.

Her hair was well set hair with curls at the ends. Despite the manicured look, she somehow fails to impress.
Now as for Madhuri Dixit, she was all aglow like nobody’s business.

She easily rivals Madhuri when it comes to inner glow. No mean feat that.

You can’t help but remark on it especially since the rest of her look was neutral. A simple updo and minimally defined eyes were all that accounted for the rest of her styling.
Fashion bee Sonam Kapoor’s deep maroon lippie vied for attention with her side updo.

Although not a bad look, there’s nothing overly great about it either and seems to be a step down from her usual flawless style.
Like many on the red carpet, Sophie Choudhry was blazing a trail with a come-hither look afforded by cat’s eye makeup set against an otherwise neutral palette.
