August 04, 2022 09:15 IST

The month of August brings with it the gift of festivals.

On August 11, India will celebrate Raksha Bandhan.

Janmashtami falls on August 19 and Ganesh Chaturthi begins on August 31.

In between, you have Kajari Teej on August 14 and Hartalika Teej on August 30.

It is also a landmark year in India's history; on August 15, we will celebrate 75 years of India's Independence.

On all these days, we are sure you will want to look your best.

To help you stand out, here are some make-up and accessory tips that we've culled from the FDCI's recently concluded India Couture Week.
