Roses are so winter! Your skin looks instantly brighter and livelier with peach blush. Complement a neutral smoky eyes like Asin, by dusting a rich apricot color on cheeks. If your skin is fair, sweep a peach blush over areas the sun would hit (cheeks, nose, forehead and chin) to warm up your face.
You don't need falsies to get ladylike lashes like Kareena Kapoor's. Use a lash tint instead of mascara, which can often lead to clumps and clusters. Apply Tarte 4 Day Stay Lash Stain, which coats the lashes in a long-lasting pigment that keeps them soft and separated.
Priyanka Chopra rocked a smoldering, sexy red pout in the pages of Harper's Bazaar without a hint of smudging, bleeding or fading. To give your lips a lasting flash of red, fill them in entirely with MAC Lip Pencil in Cherry, which is waxier than lipstick and less likely to slide off the lips. Then top it with M.A.C Pro Longwear Lipcolor in Lasting Lust to finish.
Don't wait for your next dentist visit to get perfectly bright chompers like Deepika Padukone—try Crest Weekly Intensive Cleaning Toothpaste that smooths and polishes the surface of your teeth. You can also help the matter by avoiding tea, coffee, wine etc. To help them looking bright munch on vegetables, they're known to help lifting stains off of the teeth.
Check out Priyanka Chopra's long luscious lashes on this month's cover of Harper's Bazaar. To give your eyes a bit more of a pop, place three or four single lashes, close to the outer corner of each eye. A full band of fake lashes don't look natural. To make your lips the focus of attention, use a flattering color of red that doesn't scream "red lips". For something like Priyanka's pucker apply NARS Rouge d'Enfer Lipstick.
Priyanka Chopra is on Twitter gorgeous ones! She recently posted a picture of 'A Few of Her Favorite Things' I definitely see a bottle of Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, Marc Jacobs Eau de Parfum, a M.A.C Brush Roll with M.A.C Brushes inside and tons of M.A.C all over the table. If you've been reading this blog, y'all should know Ms. Chopra is quite the M.A.Caholic.
For a gorgeous flush like Sonam Kapoor, use a sheer cheek stain. Sweep two strokes over the apples of each cheek and gently blend into the skin with two fingers using a circular motion, with the warmth of your fingers, the stain blends well and will stay on longer. Apply the same cheek stain on the lips, and finish off with some tinted lip balm and you're all set.
Diya Mirza's make-up artists Bharat and Doris Godambe, gave her frosted lips an elegant update by toning down the icy element of her satiny pink lip color. To get this look, apply your favorite frosty lipstick then blot your lips with a tissue to remove some sparkle. Finally, smear Vaseline over your lips to give them a creamy (not shiny) appearance.
Kareena's eyes are well accentuated with different colors throughout the movie, make-up artist Mallika Bhatt added. ''For her glamorous look, I used metallic liners in colors like charcoal, blue, green, gray and played around with a lot of shimmer on her eyes. But what remained permanent for Kareena throughout the film was the creamy baby pink lip color that I have not used on anyone yet,'' Bhatt said.
Ready to get naked? There's nothing indecent about it, at least not when it comes to a flesh-tone lip color like Neha Dhupia rocked on this month's FHM cover. Apply a lip gloss like NARS Turkish Delight and get creamy nude lips right away! The undertones of pink and peach make it a universally flattering nude lip on even the most pigmented lips.
Lines, wrinkles, crow's feet; nobody wants to hear those words when it comes to their skin. One way to get smoother and tighter looking skin like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's is to increase the amount of your anti-wrinkle cream by applying it using a zipper method. Separate the area you're targeting with your thumb and forefinger of one hand, then apply the cream onto the wrinkle with the other hand using a back-and-forth sweeping motion.
Wouldn't it be great to return to our flawless pre-puberty skin? No zits, just a gorgeous, clear complexion like Twinkle Khanna's. Well, thanks to a new generation of anti-bacterial products, your pores can stay unclogged without the overly drying alcohols and tonics frequently found in acne products.
Sun-savvy beauties know that while sunglasses block harmful rays, they can also leave us with an unsightly pale ring around the eyes. If you want to sport wayfarers like Amrita Arora without getting raccoon eyes, evenly coat your face with a UVA/UVB-protecting self-tanner before leaving the house. This way you're in control of your tan while also protecting the exposed skin.
Face
We're all prone to the greasies, especially in the summer, but reaching for the powder puff can leave you with a matte, muddy mess, along with a breakout. Instead, get a soft, natural sheen like Katrina Kaif by priming skin with an oil-absorbing lotion, like Smashbox Photo Finish Light Primer, which contains light diffusers to camouflage imperfections, along with ingredients that soak up oil before you look too shiny.
