Make-up Trend: Shimmery Eyes and Bold Lips

On the latest cover of Grazia, Sonam Kapoor showed off some shimmery silver eyes and bold brows and lips. To get her look, apply silver powder shadow along the upper and lower lash lines. Blend color over the entire eyelid, diffusing it into the crease and the outer corners to create metallic smoky eyes, apply a thin line of black eye liner on your top lid only. Curl lashes; apply 1-2 coats of mascara. Fill in your brows with a shade darker than you usually do, and make sure every hair is in place by apply brow powder in uplifiting strokes. Prep your lips with a moisturizing balm to keep color from bleeding. Working out from the center of the mouth, use a lip brush to apply creamy, tomato red lipstick.

Make-up Trend: Plum Smoky Eyes

In the latest issue of Hi! Blitz, Kangna Ranaut wows us with some gorgeous plum smoky eyes. Plums are a universally flattering color to every eye color, it makes them pop when used correctly! To get her look, brush a plum eye shadow on your lids, extending the shadow around the outer corners of your lids. Blend a black eye shadow on your outer corners and in your crease. Rim your lower lash line with white eye liner. Add black mascara just on the top lashes. Swirl a peach blush on the apples of your cheeks and blend well. Apply a coat of a light pink-violet lip gloss for fullness and shine.
