**Pretty in Pink**
Soft Pink Tones
Soft pink makeup is a perfect choice for those who love modern takes on the traditional Ao Dai, especially with feminine details such as puffed sleeves or bows. Bright pink hues not only add a touch of youthfulness but also brighten up the face, creating a sweet and charming look for any occasion.
Experiment with different shades of pink, from blush pink and pale pink to lilac pink, to find the one that suits your skin tone and personal style. This look is especially stunning when paired with white, cream, or pastel-colored Ao Dais.

This style is particularly flattering when paired with white, cream, or pastel Ao Dai.
Stand Out with Contrasting Eye Makeup
If you’re looking to refresh your traditional makeup look, try experimenting with contrasting eye colors. This style adds a touch of youth and modernity while maintaining the elegance and sophistication that go hand-in-hand with the Ao Dai.
Start with a neutral eyeshadow base, such as light brown, and then play with contrasting colors like green and lilac pink, yellow and orange, or blue and light purple to create a bold effect. Finish the look with a thin eyeliner wing and a coat of curling mascara to draw attention to your eyes. This makeup style is ideal for creative photo shoots that blend tradition with a touch of edginess.
Subtle “No-Makeup” Makeup
The “no-makeup” makeup look is all about enhancing your natural beauty, and it pairs perfectly with the graceful Ao Dai. This minimalist style focuses on a light hand and natural finishes, creating an overall elegant and harmonious appearance.
Opt for a light base with a cushion foundation or a dewy finish liquid foundation to highlight healthy skin. For a subtle definition, use light brown eyebrow powder and neutral eyeshadows in shades of terracotta or rose. Finish the look with a lip color of your choice.

Bold and Beautiful: Red Lips
Red lips are a timeless symbol of glamour and a must-have for the festive season. When paired with a soft makeup look, red lips add a touch of sophistication and balance to your overall appearance.
For this look, start with a matte base to conceal any imperfections. Groom and define your eyebrows, and use brown mascara to soften the eye look. The star of the show is, of course, the red lip. You can use a lip liner to define and shape your lips before filling them in with your favorite red shade. Cool-toned reds are universally flattering and will make your lips pop, especially when paired with a red Ao Dai or other vibrant colors.
