Make-up Trend: Nude, Mauve-y Lips

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looked flawless in red lips that she was seen sporting on the Longines Swiss Watch Launch runway, but at a party celebrating the launch of Longines Primaluna Collection, she went with a more natural look that included nude, mauve-y lips. For a similar effect, choose a chubby lip pencil in a shade that closely matches the actual color of your lips, then top it with a lip gloss in the same shade. It's perfect for the daytime—and even better at night.

Make-up Trend: Forest Green Eyes

In the pages of Filmfare's latest issue Sonam Kapoor went green-- with her eyes. Rather than blending a metallic forest green hue across your entire lid, keep it below the crease, then brush a shimmery chestnut shadow just above for a slightly sculpted effect. (The brown accent also prevents green shadow from looking garish.) To finish off the look add a pop of pink on the lips and cheeks, to balance the eyes.

Make-up Trend: Bronzy, Luminous Skin

On the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar India, Lara Dutta shows us that you don't have to look like a porcelain doll to have glowy, reflective skin. Smooth a few drops of liquid foundation over your entire face in a shade one touch darker than your natural skin tone, then top the look off with a slighty shimmery translucent powder. The effect has plenty of color and plenty of light.

Make-up Trend: Sheer Violet Shadow and Plum Lips

Usually I don't like match your eyeshadow to your clothes, but Isha Koppikar changed that make-up no no in a second. She wore a gorgeous Neeta Lulla lehnga—and had coordinating shadow and lips. To try violet colored lids, choose a shimmery formula and apply with your fingertips—the oil from you hands will keep it looking sheer, not heavy. To compliment the lips apply a plummish-brown stain with a coordinating lip gloss.

Make-up Trend: Fuchsia Lips

From Anamika Khanna to Manish Arora, fall runways are jam-packed with acid-bright neon colors. We could add a flirty neon dress or a pair of funky stlettos to our wardrobe. But instead, why not stick to basic black and add a burst of color on your lips like Genelia D'Souza did on the latest issue of Filmfare? If bright lips are not your thing, try a tinted lip balm to get a hint of brightness.
