Make-up Trend: Brushed Brows

On the latest issue of Grazia India Preity Zinta showed off bold and well-groomed brows. Rather than overplucking your arches to thin lines, tweeze out only strays and brush the rest in place with a clean mascara wand. Neat, shapely, thick brows give your entire face a balanced and sophisticated look.

Make-up Trend: Lilac Cheeks and Lips

Chosen as the newest face to represent Lux Purple, Katrina Kaif sported some lilacy-feminine makeup at a recent photoshoot. To create her look, layer a moisturizing pink-lilac lipstick on the your lips—and on your cheeks. The key point is as long as your lipstick formula is creamy and soft, not dry, it will double as a cheek stain. Dab it on the apples of your cheeks and blend with your fingers for a natural, girlish flush.

Make-up Trend: Warm Metallic Eyes

Lara Dutta lighted up Vogue India's March cover with metallic eye shadows, creamy peachy cheeks and baby pink lips. To her look, blend gold and copper powder eye shadows and brush them over your eyelids, extending to just above the creases but not all the way up to the brow bones. Apply a bronzy brown in your crease all the way and really blend them well with the gold and copper on your lids. Add the copper eye shadow in your lower lash line and finish off with some white eyeliner in your waterline and three to four coats of mascara. Use two fingers to dab a peach cream blush on the apples of your cheeks, and blend. Apply an opaque baby pink lipstick to pull the look together.

Genelia D'Souza's Speaks to Vogue India Beauty

Genelia's beauty must-haves: Use a good moisturizer for a cleaner, fresher look and some tinted blush on cheeks to add an instant pop of color to the face.

Day and night looks: I like my day look to be as simple as possible; fresh skin, some kajal, a light blush, mascara and sun block. Bright eyes are a must for a night out. I love experimenting with different colored eye shadows: sky blue and aquamarine to name a few, and hues of purple for eyeliners. They work amazingly in accentuating my eyes.

Date-night look: Sun-kissed skin, nude or pink lips and bright eyes.

Spa fix: A protein treatment and hair spa from Kroma Kay is an absolute must.

Hair Tips: You should condition your hair before a blow-dry and it is vital to get all the conditioner washed off your hair. I don't like to use a lot of product on my hair and set it in a particular way while blow-drying; I usually just ease it out a bit, I like my hair shiny and full of volume.
