Make-up Trend: Contoured Cheeks

Prominent cheekbones are one of a woman's most feminine characteristics, which is why on the latest cover of Harper's Bazaar India Twinkle Khanna allowed that feature to be front and center. Her look, created by makeup artist Subhash Vaggal, concentrated on two-tones: A swipe of bronzer along the center of her cheeks topped off with a swirl of a pearly highlighter on the apples. Suck in your cheeks to find the right lines; after applying, sweep a clean brush over your face to soften any harsh edges.

Make-up Trend: Gold Flecked Lipgloss

Cool toned lipglosses are very flattering on all skintones, but as we all know pinks can look a bit off key for the wintertime. But at her latest photoshoot for Filmfare, Kareena Kapoor looked completely on trend by choosing a pinky-plum lipcolor with subtle gold shimmer. The glints of light give the rather serious shade a youthful finish.

Make-up Trend: Luscious Lashes

At the ET Retail Awards that took place recently, Bipasha Basu's gorgeous dress took center-stage, but carefully sculpted lashes finished her look. Rather than going for bold make-up and a bold dress, when you want your dress to take center stage keep your lids bare and focus instead on your lashes. Bipasha added a half strip of falsies to her top lashes; you can get a similar effect by layering your mascara, it's almost impossible to go overboard.

Make-up Trend: Apricot Blush

Reaching for an orangey blush compact can seem like a risky move, but as Sonam Kapoor showed us on the latest issue of Cosmo India, it's a gamble that can have gorgeous results. Choose a peachy-bronze formula without shimmer and swirl it on the highest parts of your cheeks. It will warm up your complexion with a sun-kissed, natural flush.

Make-up Trend: Two Toned Eye Shadow

At a screening of Miral in the Hamptons, Freida Pinto topped off her flirty low bun with pretty, two-toned shadow. It's okay to use two very different shades of eye shadow as long as both are muted. In Pinto's case, a wash of sheer mauve highlighted her brow bones, while a silvery blue accented her lids. The effect is unexpectedly elegant.
