Make-up Trend: Bronze Skin

Perfect tans are all about the application. To get glowing like Deepika Padukone, apply self-tanner to your face and neck using a makeup wedge to help spread the formula evenly. On your body, start from your feet and work your way up to your neck. Always use a moisturizer first to banish any dry patches, and apply the product in circular stokes. The perfect fix for any streaks is a lemon wedge—run it over the mistakes and the color will fade away.

Make-up Trend: Black Eyeliner

To give your eyes a smooth, continuous black line like Kareena Kapoor's pull skin taut from the outer corner of your eye with one hand, and with the other hand, gently draw a thin line from the inner to the outer corner, resting the tip of the liner along your lashes. Use the same technique to get a thin black line along your lower lash line too.

Make-up Trend: Peachy, Summery Cheeks

Roses are so winter! Your skin looks instantly brighter and livelier with peach blush. Complement a neutral smoky eyes like Asin, by dusting a rich apricot color on cheeks. If your skin is fair, sweep a peach blush over areas the sun would hit (cheeks, nose, forehead and chin) to warm up your face.

Make-up Trend: Wispy Lashes

You don't need falsies to get ladylike lashes like Kareena Kapoor's. Use a lash tint instead of mascara, which can often lead to clumps and clusters. Apply Tarte 4 Day Stay Lash Stain, which coats the lashes in a long-lasting pigment that keeps them soft and separated.

Make-up Trend: Long-Lasting Red Lips

Priyanka Chopra rocked a smoldering, sexy red pout in the pages of Harper's Bazaar without a hint of smudging, bleeding or fading. To give your lips a lasting flash of red, fill them in entirely with MAC Lip Pencil in Cherry, which is waxier than lipstick and less likely to slide off the lips. Then top it with M.A.C Pro Longwear Lipcolor in Lasting Lust to finish.
