Femina Magazine - October 2022

In this issue

As we usher in the festive season, join us with your families, friends and communities as we explore the joys of festivities. In this festive-themed issue, The Big Story gives you the best tips for getting your home ready for guests, and how to decorate accordingly. The Big Story Plus dives into various rituals across India and how they truly benefit your body, face, hair and health. The festive mithai experiments in this issue will give you many delicious ideas. Every section is a guide on how to get things right for the season. Fashion guides you with festive outfits and styling tips for both clothes and jewellery. Beauty has a large focus on skin and how to get it to behave despite the celebratory sweets and drinks you will definitely be consuming. And let’s not forget all that makeup you’ll be putting on and off, which can strip the skin or clog your pores – we’ve got the fix for that too. Speaking of makeup, all that glitters is not gold… or bronze. Want to know how to explore different metallics or colours on your face this season? We have you covered.

We’ve kept the biggest firecracker for last. We’re talking of the actor whose stardom is sky high – Rashmika Mandanna. Beloved in Tamil and Kannada cinema, and feted by Bollywood, her next big release hits this month, with none other than Amitabh Bachchan. Read more about who she is, and what she’s up to in The Cover Story.
