Disha Patani’s signature makeup look is all about enhancing her features and neutral tones, making it quite natural-looking and subtle. For those who like this kind of makeup, observing her beauty looks gives a lot of insight into how to create a look that is minimal and less obviously “made up”. Obviously, this doesn’t mean we don’t love makeup that looks like makeup. Everyone has a different style and approach to beauty, and this is simply a guide to Disha’s signature look. So, if you love her aesthetic, here’s what she and her makeup artist appear to do to make it seem simple.
1.Disha rarely uses products which are too matte or dewy, so the skin-like finish of her makeup looks more like actual skin

A heavy, pigmented set of products, be it in a matte formula or a dewy one, always covers a lot of the skin with its own texture. So it doesn’t look like skin, instead your face has the finish of the product you applied be it velvety-matte or dewy and shiny.
Disha’s makeup artist uses products with a skin-like finish which are increasingly becoming popular. These types of formulas, especially in foundations, are not too dry or glowy, and look quite subtle and minimal since they aren’t extreme versions of any particular texture.
2.Disha skips graphic black eyeliner and sticks to mascara and diffused neutral eyeshadows to keep her eye look natural

Stark visible lines look like ‘more makeup’ even though achieving a ‘no makeup’ look probably requires more makeup and effort. So, because Disha wears softer, more blended eye makeup, her looks seem more natural. There’s no thickly-winged liner, no kajal or any bright colours, and her eyes are defined with smudged kohl or smokey eyeshadow. Plus, she usually just wears brown or peach eyeshadow with mascara, which are hard to detect.
3.She usually wears pale and neutral lip colours in hues that naturally appear in her skin

Disha often wears paler nude lipsticks. She chooses shades which are extensions of colours naturally appearing in her skin, be it beige, brown or peachy-pinks. She avoids fuchsia, red, maroon, coral or anything which looks like it wouldn’t be someone’s natural lip colour. This makes it hard for an onlooker to know if she’s wearing makeup or if that’s just her natural lip colour.
4.Disha doesn’t wear loud contour powders or excess blush

Wearing or not wearing contouring products and blush is not necessarily good or bad, but it is just Disha’s style to go for a more soft and sun-kissed look which approaches cheek colour in a softer way. Rosy-pinks and mauve rouges are not her style. Her peachy blush and medium-toned bronzer, being closer to her natural skin tone than the loud oranges or pinks common in blushes, make her skin look more natural.
5.Her eyebrows are filled in a natural way, keeping them feathery instead of being penciled-in or very fluffy and bushy

Disha’s makeup artist’s approach to brow-filling is all about doing the optimum, not doing the most. The gaps are filled in and her brows are gelled back to give a lift, but there’s no over-lining and no painting of the brows Instagram-style. This makes them look like supporting characters framing the eyes and not a statement makeup element. The brows blend in with the rest of the face instead of standing out.
6.Disha’s foundation always matches her neck and chest, so her makeup looks very natural

Even today, many people wear foundation which is too light, so when you look at them, the colours of the arms, chest and neck don’t match their face. As we’ve mentioned, correct shade-matching is crucial, and you should swatch foundations on your chest to get a good match, not on the wrist or face. Since Disha’s foundation shade matches that of the skin on the rest of her body, her look appears seamless and natural. There isn’t a visible shade difference between the skin on her body and face.
