An Exclusive Look At SheerLuxe’s Annual Diwali & Bandi Chhor Divas Dinner

Bringing together make-up artists, musicians, models and influencers, the night began with guests sipping on champagne by Moët & Chandon and enjoying mini makeovers at the exclusive Armani Beauty station.

As for the food, Gunpowder outdid itself. The meal started with french bean pakoras followed by aloo chaat, miso cabbage skewers and Karawari soft shell crab. For mains, guests tucked into perfectly spiced tandoori chicken chop, maa’s kashmiri lamb chop as well as sea bass samphire pakoras. These show-stopping dishes were clear crowd-pleasers, while vegetarians enjoyed a seriously flavourful saag tandoori paneer alternative with fragrant saffron jeera pulao and refreshing kachumber raita. To finish, guests were treated to Old Monk rum pudding – a rich, indulgent dessert with a warming hint of spice that rounded off the evening perfectly.

Finally, our friends at Armani Beauty generously gifted guests goody bags filled with the fruity, addictive Sì Passione Eau de Parfum, Vertigo Drama Mascara, Prisma Glass Lip Gloss, Prisma Flash Lip Balm as well as the insider-approved Eye Tint in ‘Tea Rose’ and Luminous Silk Glow Blush in a flattering raspberry shade.

“For SPECIAL OCCASIONS like these, Luminous Silk is my holy-grail foundation. It’s one I always recommend because of the INCLUSIVE 44-STRONG SHADE RANGE.” 

– Sapna Rao, deputy editor

“When I need my MAKE-UP TO LAST through cocktails and several delicious courses, I RELY ON ARMANI BEAUTY. Its formulas layer beautifully and look fresh both on and off camera.” 

– Saroop Sangha, broadcaster
