Make-up Trend: Glossy, Coral Lips

On this month's Good Housekeeping cover Mahima Chaudhary wore a high-shine, coral-peachy hued lip gloss to brighten up her summery complexion and play up those gorgeous brown eyes. Women with fair skin should reach for pale apricot hues; if you have olive skin, opt for a bright reddish orange.

Make-up Trend:Bold, Symmetrical Brows

It's ok to go bold with your arches as long as they look neat and tidy like Vidya Balan's. To avoid the pain of the pluck, smooth a skin-numbing cream over your entire brow and the surrounding area. Remove the cream after five minutes with a hot, damp compress—this will help the hairs slide easily and painlessly out of their follicle. Now pluck away!

Make-up Trend: Bronze Skin

Perfect tans are all about the application. To get glowing like Deepika Padukone, apply self-tanner to your face and neck using a makeup wedge to help spread the formula evenly. On your body, start from your feet and work your way up to your neck. Always use a moisturizer first to banish any dry patches, and apply the product in circular stokes. The perfect fix for any streaks is a lemon wedge—run it over the mistakes and the color will fade away.

Make-up Trend: Black Eyeliner

To give your eyes a smooth, continuous black line like Kareena Kapoor's pull skin taut from the outer corner of your eye with one hand, and with the other hand, gently draw a thin line from the inner to the outer corner, resting the tip of the liner along your lashes. Use the same technique to get a thin black line along your lower lash line too.
