With beauty ever-changing, eye makeup has been one of the most expressive parts for anyone. This year, an unpredictable array of eye makeup trends were in the limelight, varying from smokey and dramatic eyes to simple, clean looks. Let's see the prominent trends and how they are shaping eye makeup trends for the future. Smokey eyes have been around for centuries. Earlier, smoky eyes used to mean mixing darker shades like charcoal or dark brown into a smudged effect. However, this season, smoky eye involved pops of color as well as innovative reinterpretation.Greens, blues, and purples are dominant, providing rich, whimsical alternatives to the looks. Artists loved how the colors produced soft, airy, and dramatic, show-stopping effects.Eyeliner was a strong trend, especially in dramatic, deep blacks. Black eyeliner is used to shape the eyes in bold ways, be it smudged around the eyes for a lived-in, grungy effect or defined into sharp, graphic points. Makeup enthusiasts aligned everything from gentle, smudged lines to more formal, detailed designs, so there was room to interpret.On the other hand, minimalist eye makeup also made a strong presence, with sheer, effortless beauty in pale neutral colors and delicate sweeps of eyeliner. Natural Eye was all about making them look beautiful without loading them up with heavy products or dramatic finishes.This style adopted the elegance of minimalism, with models sporting nearly bare faces that were highlighted to bring out their natural beauty. A thin layer of mascara, well-defined brows, and soft matte eyeshadow were applied to outline the facial contours, bringing attention to the natural beauty of the model.The makeup was all about accentuating the physical attributes with a light, elegant touch. Minimalist make-up for eyes epitomized the need for simple beauty; the focus was on barely touching up one's features and not altering them.Whether the dramatic smokey eyes were complemented with bold colors or the graphic liners were applied with precision, painting-like strokes, it was clear that eye makeup is quickly becoming an important means of self-expression in fashion.In the future, it's evident that eye makeup is not so much about a single trend but about numerous trends that allow one to enjoy their look.: Mr. Bikash Goyal, Co-Founder Glam21

Patna ISKCON temple turns Vrindavan on Janmashtami with 8 tons of flowers from Bangkok & Mauritius, offers 18-hour darshan for devotees to welcome lord Krishna
This year, Patna's ISKCON temple on Buddha Marg has pulled out all the stops to make Janmashtami feel like a magical trip to Vrindavan. Think 8 tonnes of fresh flowers – yes, literally tonnes – flown in from Bangkok, Mauritius, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Pune, all to deck up Banke Bihari's court. The temple smells like a florist's dream and looks like a Pinterest board of divine décor. The theme this year is Vrindavan itself, giving devotees the illusion of stepping straight into Krishna's playground. Patna gets its own Vrindavan vibes with 8 ton imported flowers to welcome lord Krishna on Janmashtami 2025 If you think darshan is just a morning-evening thing, think again. The temple doors opened at 7 am and will stay open till 1 am, a full 18 hours of Krishna love. Devotees are flocking in from every corner of the city and beyond, with temple authorities expecting a record-breaking 8 lakh visitors. That is a lakh more than last year. Clearly, Banke Bihari has upgraded his fan base. Patna's ISKON temple will remain open for 18 hours darshan for devotees From Mayapuri to Vrindavan, musical troupes have taken over the stage with continuous bhajan-kirtan that refuses to let the festive beats die down. Imagine the atmosphere: dhols, cymbals, soulful voices, and a crowd that cannot stop clapping along. It is the kind of music that gets into your bones and makes even the shyest devotee want to dance. Patna's ISKON temple's royal treat to lord Krishna When it comes to pampering Krishna, the arrangements are fit for royalty. Picture this: a grand abhishek with 251 silver urns, a lavish spread of 501 dishes for Mahabhog, and a special Dakshinavarti conch abhishek that continues throughout the day. Add to that a cradle where devotees can swing the baby form of Krishna – cue heart-melting vibes. It is not just worship; it is divine theatrics. 8 lakh people expected at Patna's ISKON temple With 8 lakh people expected, things could have turned into chaos, but the temple management has levelled up. Waterproof pandals are up (because monsoons love drama too), bamboo barricades have been set to guide queues, and men and women have separate lines all the way from Ashok Cinema Hall and Maurya Lok. For those worried about endless waiting for prasadam, the fix is here: multiple priests instead of just one, ensuring smoother distribution. Basically, divine project management 101. To keep the vibe festive but safe, heavy police deployment, barricading, and private bouncers are all part of the scene. The queues may be long, but the organisation is tight, keeping things secure and seamless. Janmashtami 2025 The temple spokesperson has made it clear, this Janmashtami is not just about rituals, it is about love and devotion in technicolour. The fragrance of imported flowers, the ceaseless kirtan, and the spectacle of silver urns create a sensory overload designed to touch every heart. The goal? That every devotee walks away with peace, joy, and a slice of Krishna's eternal charm.

Bipasha fires back at Mrunal Thakur's 'manly muscles' jab—says 'strong women win' Bipasha was seen wearing an all-pink three-piece lehenga-choli with intricate embellishment, which looked absolutely stunning. She was seen adorning a heavy mirror-embellished sweetheart neckline sleeveless blouse with plunging detailing and added a matching dupatta, which was attached to her dhoti-style lehenga skirt featuring minimal drapes all over the bodice. On the other hand, Cristiano Ronaldo was seen in a clean and sleek black suit. 10 Indian saris every woman should have in her wardrobe The 'Raaz' actress kept her hair down in small curls and opted for balanced shimmery makeup, which was a hit in the mid-2000s.
