Ayesha Thapar's Beauty Secrets

Ayesha Thapar, Industrialist and Socialite

HOME REMEDY: Drink virgin coconut oil every morning to keep your system well-moisturized from the inside and your skin glowing from the outside.

CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT: Benefit Benetint, Skinceuticals Serum 20 AOX +, and Lancôme Waterproof Protective Undereye Concealer in Medium Bisque.

DAILY RITUALS: I use Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser every morning and night, then use cream and apply make-up.

IN-FLIGHT RITUALS: Drink a lot of water, wash your make-up off on the plane and apply a moisturizing night cream like SK II Signs Treatment Totality; take a melatonin tablet an sleep.

GET GLAMOROUS TIP: I use an egg-white mask with a tightening powder as a quick fix before bad nights. I also ice my face before applying make-up as a quick pick-me-up

Make-up Trend: Full Pouty Lips

If you want lips that scream to be smooched, take a cue from Sonam Kapoor who accentuated her cupid's bow with subtle lip liner. For added oomph and sexiness, draw light to the peaks of your cupid's bow using a shimmery white pencil, like Lancome Le Crayon Khol in Blanc.

Manish Arora for Nivea Soft

Manish Arora who came out with the gorgeous Circus collection earlier this year has designed three limited edition Nivea Soft jars with the same kitschy patterns his clothes sport.

I believe these cute jars will make their way into stores in Summer 2009.

Make-up Trend: Clear Skin

Don't cover up your blemishes, correct them! Even though summer presents a host of skin issues, from oiliness to blackheads, you can get Kareena Kapoor's angelic complexion by using a potent, oil-absorbing treatment like Dr. Brandt's Pores No More Vacuum Cleaner. Just apply on problem area, let dry completely, rinse and pat dry.

Make-up Trend: Aqua Eye Liner

Follow Priyanka Chopra's lead on March's L'Officiel India Cover and subtly brighten your eyes with aqua liner. Rim just your bottom lash line with a waterproof pencil, like Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes in Turquoise. Aqua enhances any eye color and looks best with neutral eye shadow.

Make-up Trend: Lavender Eye Shadow

Try out a subtle purple hue on your lids this summer, team with baby pink cheek and lips to keep the look simple. If you're a brown-eyed girl like Aarti Chabbria, follow her lead and stick with pastels. If you have gray eyes, opt for a more intense lilac to make your eyes really pop; for green or hazel eyes, go with a deeper plum.

Make-up Trend: Hot Pink Lips

What used to be over the top is now summer's hottest makeup trend: hot pink lips. The gret thing about this trend is it is so wearable with jeans and a shirt or a shalwar kameez as we see what Yukhta Mookhey opted for. She chose a vibrant bubblegum pink hue at the Bombay Times Super Mom 2009 Pageant, which contained a hint of blue to brighten her smile. If that is too bright for you, try a more sheer pink gloss.
