Make-up Trend: Lush Lashes

A full strip of false lashes can feel drag quuen-ish, but not if you pull it off as artfully as Preity Zinta at the IPL Awards. Things to keep in mind: first off, before applying, be sure to trim the lashes to fit the length of your lid. And secondly, keep the rest of your eye makeup subtle—a stripe of liquid liner and a wash of neutral shadow is all the extra pop you'll need.

Make-up Trend: Subtle Brown Smoky Eyes

After the gorgeous Grazia India cover, Preity Zinta once again looks stunning on the March issue of Maxim India. What stood out on this cover were her subtle brown smoky eyes. To get the look, smudge dark brown eye shadow around your upper and lower lashlines. Using a soft brush, blend a brown-black from lash line to crease, and as your blending wing out the outter corners ever so slightly. Blend the same shade along lower lash line with a dense brush. Softly sweep a mix of the ivory and shimmery nude shades along brow bone. Complete the eyes with multiple coats of black mascara.

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: Tea Rose Lips

Pale pink may be a soft and subtle color, but at Karan Johar's Fashion for HDIL Couture Week, Preity Zinta showed us it could brighten up your entire face. Choose a shimerless formula, but don't be afraid to use a heavy hand when applying: A few extra coats will create a slightly opaque effect that draws attention to the lips.

Make-up Trend: Long Lashes

At the Loomba Trust Honoring Award Show, Preity Zinta brought the drama—with her lashes, that is. Looking at the picture above, it looks like she has incredibly thick long lashes. To make your lashes look as lust-worthy as Preity's, dust your lashes with translucent powder before curling them and adding mascara. It makes them look bigger and longer, and gives the mascara something to cling to.

Make-up Trend: Matte Lips

While fellow ambassadress Kareena Kapoor went for glossy lips in her ad, Preity Zinta took a walk on the matte side in her new Gitanjali ad this week by sporting a muted nude lip. If your favorite lipstick has a bit too much sheen, you can mattify it by dabbing freshly applied color with a light dusting of translucent face powder, which will soak up the lipstick's oils.
