Make-up Trend: Smoky Lavender Eyes

Atthe launch of Streax Hair Pro Straightener Malaika Arora Khan sported some shimmery, lavender smokey eyes. Bright colors can look too harsh against winter skin. Winterize any eye shadow by blending in a warmer color, like golds, coppers, or even a bronze (translucent powder or eye shadow will both work). The dose of light and sparkle will make even the hottest shades look cool.

Make-up Trend: Properly Filled-in Eyebrows

At the launch of Louise Cruises Malaika Arora Khan showed off some of the fullest, shapeliest brows ever. Keep your well-maintained brows from looking sparse by filling in with a brow powder as the last step of your beauty routine. Pencils can make the shape too defined, but brushed-on powder will subtly shade and disguise areas with fewer hairs.

Cosmo's Celeb Beauty Tricks for that Perfect Pick-Me-Up

Shilpa Shetty
"However lousy I’m feeling, getting my hair done makes all the difference. A good blow dry and my confidence is back. And if there’s time after that for a little retail therapy, of course, then it’s perfect!"

Sonam Kapoor
"I think a good complexion can hide many sins! So good skin, maintained with good quality products, works for me every time!"

Katrina Kaif
"I’m a very no makeup person off camera, so on days I feel dull, I just up my intake of water, fresh fruits and generally try and detoxify. What you put in is what you get!"

Amrita Rao
"Smoky eyes perk me up, even on my most down and off days. The rest of the face is just nude lips and a blush."

Malaika Arora Khan
"I’m a spa girl. A relaxing massage, hot oil treatment, aromatherapy, body scrub, I could just go on and on! Leave me at a spa and watch all my blues evaporate away."

Riya Sen
"False eyelashes! Sounds strange but they make me face the work a little more confidently on days I’m low or feeling down. And some perfume goes a long way, too!"

Deepika Padukone
"It’s awful for us to have bad-mirror days because it carries forward the next day, when we see horrid pictures of us in the paper. So if I’m not looking or feeling my best, I simply give some TLC to my skin. Maybe a mask, a facial or even a body wrap if there’s time. If my skin glows, I’m good to go."

Bipasha Basu
"If my skin feels dull, or I’m feeling low, I hit the gym or do anything that’s physically strenuous. Exercise equals endorphins and these feel-good hormones look good on your face. Top it off with a little gloss and you’re back to glowing!"

Celina Jaitley
"On days I’m not looking good, I just pile on kohl to make my eyes stand out, moisturize intensely and head out. No more makeup for me!"
