Make-up Trend: Dramatic Smoky Eyes

 

 Bipasha Basu's body may be in the best shape ever, but it's her dramatic eye make-up that stood on this month's issue of FHM India. To get her look, apply black eyeliner along the upper lash line, and bwon eyeliner along lower lashline and in the lower inner rim. Sweep a gray eye shadow (Pearly Black) over the lids up to crease and then wing it out towards the outter corners. Blend a bronze eye shadow (Brown) along the lower lash line. Add a metallic, iridescent effect by gently sweeping a blue eye shadow (Pearly Blue) over the lid, then a pearly white shadow in the inner corners. Apply multiple coats of mascara to finish off the look.

Make-up Trend: Clear, Flawless Skin

"Naturally gorgeous" are two words that come to mind when you think of this month's Cosmopolitan India cover girl, Genelia D'Souza. On this month's cover she shows off her gorgeous blemish-free skin. If stress tends to affect your complexion, try a two-pronged approach with a salicylic acid based cleanser and microfiber exfoliating pads. The acid will prevent blemishes from forming while the pads will buff away pore-inflaming dead skin cells.

Make-up Trend: The In-Between Pink Lipstick

Looking every bit of gorgeous on this month's cover of And Magazine, Chitrangda Singh wears a fun mid-toned pink lipstick. Rather than reaching for baby pinks or bright fuchsias, look for a rosy hue with a touch of brown, which is sophisticated and surprisingly flattering on every skin tone. Top it with clear balm to add keep your lips feeling moisturized and healthy.
