Make-up Trend: Cat Eyes and Pale Pink Lips

Looking every bit of a sex kitten on the latest issue of Vogue India is Bipasha Basu. To get her look, apply a thin line of eyeliner where your lashes begin, all the way to the outer edges, extending it a half inch up into a wing. Then thicken the line from the midpoint to the outer corner by going over it a couple more times--you should end up creating a triangle at the outer corner of each eye. Apply a matte black eye shadow over the eyeliner using a small angled brush to darken and fill in any gaps. Apply a few coats of mascara to the top and bottom lashes. Dust a bright pink blush on the apples of your cheeks. For the lips, apply a pinky-nude lipstick that has a pearly finish.

The first wash removes product build-up, the second whisks away dirt and impurities—and ultra-clean hair dries ultra-bouncy.
