Make-up Trend: A Gold Look

Lara Dutta got into her 'Apsara' character mode flawlessly, on the latest issue of Hi Blitz. To get her golden-bronzy look, brush a peachy-gold eye shadow all over your lids, stopping at the creases, and diffuse the color toward the outer edges. Starting at the creases, blend a bronzy eye shadow up to your crease. Apply a black eye liner along your upper lash line and wing it at the ends. Swipe black mascara over your upper and lower lashes. Using a blush brush, apply a golden highlighter on your cheeks, nose, forehead. Apply a nude lipstick with golden undertones to your lips.

Make-up Trend: Smoldering Eyes

I'm absolutely loving Giselli Monteiro's smoldering eye shadow on the latest issue of Femina. Get a similar look by skipping precise liner and instead reaching for a slate eye shadow. Smudge it along your lashlines with a soft brush, dragging the pigment all the way to the inner and outer corners of your eyes. The look is easy and alluring!

Vogue India: The Blush Factor

Come fall and most of us worry about bidding goodbye to rosy cheeks and brighter hues. Fall doesn’t necessarily mean pale complexions and muted tones raining on your make-up parade. Take a cue from our lovely ladies, and make blush your new best friend. If you’re blessed with a flawless milky white complexion a la Kareena Kapoor, peach or pink blush tones would infuse a youthful tint to your face. Dusky beauties like Deepika or Chitrangada should opt for blushes with brown or orange tones, just perfect to bring a warm glow to those cheeks.  Cream or powder, sheer or matte, this season mimic a rosy glow and a luminous complexion and get prepared to show some of those chiselled cheekbones with a hint of blush of course.
