Go all quirky with an exaggerated wing and a strong brow to complement this fashion style. Smoke out the wing further to make it bolder. You could also stand out and complement the bold brows by contouring your face with shimmer. Choose a nude lip colour to complement the eyes.
Ruffles
Chic looking ruffles were designer favorites on the runway this season. From dupattas to skirts to sleeves, ruffles added glamour to all the attires. Designs showcased by Kaveri, Gauri and Nainika and Divyarajvir among others were seen using ruffles.

Go for a thin eyeliner and mascara. The stained lip in a pop color will add the much needed vibrance while keeping the overall look very fresh and minimal to contrast the flowy outfits. A coral lip would go best with it.
