India, May 5 -- When it comes to subtle beauty, few ace it like Mrunal Thakur. She believes makeup should enhance, not mask, one's natural features. The actor, known for films including Super 30 (2019), Sita Ramam (2022), Hi Nanna (2023), and Son of Sardaar 2 (2025) spills her makeup and skincare secrets. Hydration is key both for your skin and your fragrance. I always moisturise well before applying perfume because it helps lock in the scent. I also do a light layering, like using a body mist or lotion with a similar note and then spritz on pulse points. And a quick mid-day refresh never hurts! So many! One that I swear by is using a damp beauty sponge for a more natural finish; it really melts the makeup into your skin. Also, less is more. Good skin prep can do half the job before makeup even begins. I've been loving a mix of some classic nudes and soft pinks. They're easy, versatile, and work for both day and night. I'm really loving the dewy, skin-like makeup trend. It feels fresh and real. I would probably skip anything too heavy or overly contoured because I personally like to keep things more natural. A good lip balm, a nude lipstick, compact powder, mascara, and a tinted moisturiser. These are my absolute essentials; they can take you from a simple day look to something more polished in minutes....
