Make-up Trend: Strong Brows

With structured curls and groomed eyebrows, Sonam Kapoor graced the cover of this month's issue of Marie Claire India. Strong brows were everywhere on the runways this season. To keep up with the trends, keep your eyebrows precisely plucked and set them each morning with a sweep of gel. Fill in any sparse areas with a matte powder, but choose a shade slightly darker than your natural brows to amp up the drama.

Make-up Trend: Cat-Eye Eye Shadow

Looking gorgeous on this month's issue of Elle India is Genelia D'Souza. Her gorgeous dress and artful lids popped! Rather than sweeping a light wash of powder on your entire lid, try something a little more dramatic: Dip your brush in water and draw the shadow up in the crease with steady, painterly strokes. Flicking it upwards slightly at the corners. Add a bright pop of color on your lips for a girly touch!

Make-up Trend: Plum Eyes, Lips and Nails

Looking plum-licious on this month's issue of Verve India, was none other than Lara Dutta. To recreate her all plum look, apply a plum-brown eye shadow from your upper lash lines to just above the crease (it really makes dark brown eyes pop!). Apply black eyeliner along your upper lashes and inner rims, and smudge a slate gray eye shadow onto your lower lashes. Apply two to three coats of mascara to your lashes. For the cheeks, dab a peach cream blush on the apples of your cheeks, and blend toward your temples. Before the lipstick apply a moisturizing balm to keep the lip color from bleeding. Then, beginning from the center, use a lip brush to apply a matte, deep plum lipstick. For the nails, apply a few coats of a deep plum nail polish to get a high-gloss and glam effect.

Make-up Trend: Grungy Smoky Eyes

At a special screening for I Hate Luv Storys, Sonam Kapoor sported some grungy smoky eyes. To get her look, blend a matte black and a shimmery gray eye shadow over your lids with a small eye-shadow brush, starting at your lashes and moving just beyond the crease. With the brush, line your lower lashes with the same color combination. Starting at the inner corner of your eye, trace a line of black eye liner along your upper lashes. Leave the lashes bare. Finish off with a pale pink lipstick.
