A tiny, delicate dot placed gently on the centre of the forehead or just above the eyebrows. With stone or crystal work. Or just plain. In red or maroon or matching the outfit one is wearing.
The micro bindi has become the hot new trend.
From red carpet events to casual Instagram selfies, it's the finishing touch that everyone is looking for.
Here's how you can effectively incorporate it into your look.
