Makeup tips are best stolen from the personal beauty diaries of our very own B-town celebrities. Film stars not only experiment with their looks but also unravel the top trends for the season. So here are the top five celeb looks that you must get going with.
Deepika Padukone: Dark Kohl
Eyes heavily laden with kohl instantly become the centre of attraction. Use a liner on the lids, but remember to outline the lids below with a thick line of kohl as well. Flush with some coats of mascara and let your eyes do the talking all evening.
Sonam Kapoor: Bird-Eye Liner
Here’s Sonam’s new avatar to inspire you to try the birdy look. Extend your liner not only towards the temples but also inwards, towards the nose. This extended edge is a quirky way to highlight your eyes to makes them stand out. Keep the lips light in colour to avoid creating a hotchpotch.
Alia Bhatt: Smoky Eyes
An all-time favourite look that’s sort of tricky to crack is the smoky eye finish. Pick a matte black eyeshadow and merge it into your liner, with soft strokes for a seamless blend. This magical look in black is one of a kind. It’s best teamed with nude lips.
Nargis Fakhri: Bright Pout
We’ve seen enough of red, orange and pink on those lips. But a variation of these shades is just what you should make room for in your kitty. Mix your red with orange or pink with red, to create darker shades that are unique and will easily steal the show. Also, there’ll be no fear of wearing the exact same lip colour as the other ladies in the room.
Shraddha Kapoor: Winged Eyeliner
A tried and tested style to make your eyes look catchy, is to wing the liner. Make it cat-eye or just go thick towards the outer ends, for a look that’s distinct and classy. This isn’t too overwhelming a look either, so feel free to go light or dark on the lips, as you please.
