How To Do Makeup of Radha Krishna Marble Statue

The marble statue of Radha Krishna holds great spiritual and aesthetic value. Most of the time, such statues are decorated with various makeup to enhance their beauty and bring out their divine charm and elegance. 

If ever you wonder how to do makeup on a Radha Krishna marble statue, then here is the way you can get your statue looking vibrant and devotional by maintaining all respect for its sanctity.

• Cleaning the Statue

First, one should clean the Radha Krishna statue before applying any makeup. This will involve cleaning dust and other particles off the statue using a soft wet cloth. Only where necessary should one make use of mild, non-abrasive soap. Cleaning would prepare the surface for the makeup to attach well.

• Applying a Base

Now, after the statue is cleaned and dried, one can begin with the makeup procedure by applying a base. Take a soft brush and gently apply talcum powder or any light, skin-friendly powder over the statue's face. The base acts as a preparatory layer to even out the surface and create a smooth surface for other makeup elements. Ensure that the powder doesn't lump together in certain areas.

• Highlight the Eyes

This makeup application further enhances the eyes, being the most expressive feature of the statue. Contour the eyes using fine kajal or eyeliner in black with a fine brush. You can add a tint of blue or brown to the eyelids for more originality. Bringing emphasis to the eyes will make the Radha Krishna marble statue alive and give depth, the figures being more divine and appealing.

• Color the Lips and Cheeks

You can also give it a more realistic look by adding a touch of red or pink to the lips. Use a fine brush or cotton swab to carefully apply the color, making sure it's very subtle and somewhat elegant. You can also give the cheeks a soft blush, blending well for an even application. This gives the face of the statue a soft warmth while adding to the serenity of the beauty.

• Dressing and Adornment of the Statue

Next will be dressing the statue in traditional attire and ornamentation after the makeup is applied. Bright and colorful garments depicting the divine aura of Radha and Krishna can be used. Ornaments may include necklaces, bangles, and crowns on the statue. Usually, these are handmade by custom statue makers based on the exact measurements and design of your statue.

• Decorative Tilak

Application of tilak is one of the most important and never-missing makeup for any Hindu god statue. Take a red or yellow tilak and give it on their foreheads, both Radha and Krishna. The tilak keeps up their inner spiritual energy and hence is a must in their makeup.

• Finishing Touch for the Other Deities

If you are preparing a set of statues with other deities, say a marble Ram Darbar statue, proceed with similar steps. The statue is first cleaned followed by putting a base and then highlighting its features. Each of the deities can be decorated with characteristic makeup, tilak, and clothes to give them that particular divine personality.

Conclusion

Putting makeup over a Radha Krishna marble statue is an art which requires a lot of care and devotion. Steps above will enhance the beautification and grace of your statue to make them completely fit for worship or display. In case you need a perfect fit, you can always go through the custom statue makers that create very detailed and personalized statues. This makes your statues not only beautifully crafted but also carriers of the essence of the divine figures that they depict.
