Nora Fatehi sets the stage on fire as she grooves with actor Siddharth Malhotra to the latest chartbuster Manike from ‘Thank God’ which is a remix of the viral "Manike Maga Hithe" song by Yohani. While you may think that this sultry siren look is only for the theatres, Marianna Mukuchyan, the makeup artist behind the now-viral glamorous look, shares how flawless glam is only a dash of glitter away.

A word of caution though: If you don’t use glitter the right way, it runs a high risk of looking OTT and theatrical. Ahead, pro tips on how to glam up this holiday season.

All that glows is glitter

If you are confident of your makeup application skills and would like to turn the spotlight wherever you go, go for the angelic Manike look. The Nora look can be referred to as celestial; it’s like walking through a cloud of glitter with fairy dust all over. “When it comes to glitter, size matters. If you work with large glitter particles, it’s (more) difficult to handle, and the chances of it looking tacky are high. However, if the glitter particles are fine, you can’t go wrong with it. So, go for the finest particles available,” says Mukuchyan.
