Krystle D'Souza, Pond's Brand Ambassador, gives five easy tips to get ready for Dussehra!

* Step 1: Prep the skin: Prep your skin with a good BB + cream for a light and non-oily texture.

* Step 3: Blush much? t's the festive season after all so why not add a little shimmer in your life? Use a little dust of the blush to accentuate the cheekbones and bring out your best features.
