Make-up Trend: Smoldering Eyes

I'm absolutely loving Giselli Monteiro's smoldering eye shadow on the latest issue of Femina. Get a similar look by skipping precise liner and instead reaching for a slate eye shadow. Smudge it along your lashlines with a soft brush, dragging the pigment all the way to the inner and outer corners of your eyes. The look is easy and alluring!

Vogue India: The Blush Factor

Come fall and most of us worry about bidding goodbye to rosy cheeks and brighter hues. Fall doesn’t necessarily mean pale complexions and muted tones raining on your make-up parade. Take a cue from our lovely ladies, and make blush your new best friend. If you’re blessed with a flawless milky white complexion a la Kareena Kapoor, peach or pink blush tones would infuse a youthful tint to your face. Dusky beauties like Deepika or Chitrangada should opt for blushes with brown or orange tones, just perfect to bring a warm glow to those cheeks.  Cream or powder, sheer or matte, this season mimic a rosy glow and a luminous complexion and get prepared to show some of those chiselled cheekbones with a hint of blush of course.

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.

Hair Trend: Sleek, Shiny Hair

On the cover of the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar India, Deepika Padukone sports a straight, swingy hairstyle. To get the best results with your own hair, consider taking a tip from the pros: Shampoo twice to remove all traces of residue from your hair shaft. The first wash removes product build-up, the second whisks away dirt and impurities—and ultra-clean hair dries ultra-bouncy.
