NYFW S/S 2011 Make-up Trends: Prabal Gurung

“The collection is very rich and full on, all about the architecture of the clothes to the silhouette so the face is pure, soft but graphic — playing with textures in white.” — Tom Pecheux

FACE  

Select Moisture Cover Concealer – applied as needed.  

Mineralize Skinfinish Natural – lightly applied to even out the skin tone.

EYES  

MAC Pro Pure White Paintstick – blended on the eyelids as a base.  

Gesso Eye Shadow layered with Fascinating Eye Kohl – to create a “matte white lid”.

LIPS

MAC Pro Lip Erase in Dim – to make lips the same base color. 

Supremely Confident Sheen Supreme Lipstick – layered over lip erase to give a “true sensuality to the lips”.

Make-up Trend: Berry Stained Lips

If you've always avoided red lipstick because it feels too severe, try a berry stained hue like Freida Pinto did at the TIFF Festival. She went for a hint of berry tint, giving a berry punch to match her gorgeous dress. It looks puckery and stays on pretty well. To make the look stay-put, apply balm once the stain sets in to bare lips.

Make-up Trend: Simple Make-up

At the launch of Audi's car showroom, Bipasha Basu turned heads with incredibly simple—but downright perfect make-up to compliment that forest green Nandita Mahtani dress. The key to pulling off such a no-fuss look? Even your skintone by touching up shadowy areas around your mouth and nose with concealer, smooth and groom your brows, apply a sweep of eyeliner to your top lids and finish with a swipe of pinky nude lipstick. The result was understated and sweetly polished.

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.
