Beauty Talk With Priyanka Chopra
Good looking means:
I would define it as someone who is ‘comfortable’ in their own skin! I think more than good looks, it’s a person’s attitude and the way they dress that determines how they are viewed.
It’s simple! Cleansing, toning and moisturizing everyday and drinking lots of water.
My hair is very healthy and naturally strong and shiny. Because of my profession, my hair is battered and abused! Therefore, I make it point to oil my hair regularly and shampoo and condition it as well with Sunsilk shampoo and conditioner. I trim my hair once in about 2 months or as and when I feel the need and avoid highlighting my hair.
I use YSL Luxurious Mascara, M.A.C Studio Fix Powder, M.A.C blushes, The Body Shop Lip Balms, Clarins HydraQuench Cream. Aloe Vera is great for the skin. I love Sunsilk shampoo and conditioner.
When I have bad hair days, the first thing I do is send a text to my hair stylist.
Firstly, I make it a point to drink lots of water to hydrate my skin and apply my mother’s secret recipe… a face mask!
I would say highlight your assets. If it’s your eyes then applying kajal and a little liner works best. For your cheek bones, the right blush will do the trick. It’s important for one to know the colors that complement you and what your best features are.
Moisturize and when you’re confused about what to do… just keep it simple!
I work 19 hours a day… am over stressed, over worked and under paid!!!!! I would love to visit a spa as often as I can but with my hectic schedule, I don’t really get a chance to.
I enjoy all aspects of a spa experience and don’t have a particular favourite. But if I was forced to make a choice it would have to be the Kerala Ayurvedic Spa treatment.
Music is very therapeutic for me. It’s something that has always been a passion.
Sunsilk shampoo and conditioner gives me full control over my hair. A girl’s hair is truly one of her best assets. The exceptionally trendy and stylish hairstyles created by Jawed give out a very strong message which is – If you’re lucky to have thick, gorgeous hair, show them off. My firm belief is that if a woman has thick, healthy-looking hair she is bound to get a second glance. I think these looks created by Habib do the trick—they are very striking. I make sure to pamper myself to a regular head message—it does wonders for your hair texture and feels so good. I eat healthy, drink lots of water and of course, I use Sunsilk Thick & Long with yogurt protein, which is a natural remedy for damaged hair. When you buy shampoo look for yogurt in its ingredients. Sunsilk Thick & Long has yogurt protein which nourishes hair right to the tips.
Lakme Bridal Hair Trends
With bridal season in full force, Lakme has given us some gorgeous wedding make-up trends over here, now they've ventured into giving us the perfect bridal hair looks as well.
Hair Trend: Loose and Sexy Waves
I know you guys, it's the fourth Kareena post, but one can't help not notice how the woman is everywhere. Moving on, Kareena looks absolutely stunning on the cover of Femina this month.
Which woman doesn't love easy-looking, fuss-free hair? So when a glamorous Kareena Kapoor's hair actually takes 10 minutes, everyone wants to know the secret. Take a three way approach and you'll be golden: Spray, twirl and pin. Spritz strong-hold hairspray along the length of a thin section of hair. Twirl it around two fingers from the ends to the root until you have a round coil, then pin the coil at the roots. Repeat with 20 other pieces around your head, let set while you get ready and unravel the curls right before you leave the house.

Hair Trend: Sleek Straight Shiny Hair
For long-lasting sleek locks like Rani Mukherji's, prep hair with a thermal-protectant spray, separate hair into 1/4 to 1/2-inch sections, then use a comb in front of your iron to make sure the hair is smooth and straight before you put it in your flat iron. Next, add a shine gloss made with silicone and finish up with a light-holding hairspray. This gives you gorgeous stick-straight hair that humidity can't touch.

Hair Trend: Slickback Hair
For photo shoots like Minisha's, that are meant to be focused on her smoky eyes, the hair should not be the center of attention. Ted Gibson's Hair Sheet Styling Sheets add shine and hold the hair in place. Who needs a beauty squad with this easy, low-maintenance look?
Hair Trend: Shiny & Bouncy Hair
Get gorgeous, shiny hair just like Katrina Kaif's while you sleep. It's simple, all you need to do is invest in a satin pillowcase. The smooth fibers on the case help your hair cuticles lay down flat while you catch your zzz's and boost your shine power.

Hair Trend: Hair Extensions
Growing your short hair long like Priyanka's takes ages. Most of Bollywood has long lust-worthy hair, but there are the few like Priyanka, Celina and Bipasha that have been sporting shorter-do's. To seamlessly blend long wefts of hair into your own, clip away the top layer of hair around your head. Next attach extensions directly at the root, then unclip hair and lay it over the extensions.

Hair Trend: Piecey, Choppy Hair
There's a fine line between artfully wispy and plain ol' messy hair. Kangana Ranaut got it right and you can too! First, style your hair as usual, then after rubbing a product like Aveda Control Paste between your fingers to activate it, twirl random pieces of hair using those fingers. That adds volume without the messy unruly look.
Hair Trend: Wavy, Tousled Bangs
Katrina Kaif keeps her wavy, bobbed hair consistent by adding curves to her bangs. To get the look, wrap sections of bangs around a skinny round brush, which you can heat up with a hairdryer, then let it cool and set before gently unwinding the hair to release the curl.

Hair Trend: Side Partings
Want instant volume like Freida Pinto without loading up on products and teasing your tresses? Part your hair on the opposite side that you usually do. Flipping your hair against the direction it normally falls creates an instant lift that lasts all day!
Hair Trends: Short Cuts
To pull off a summer-friendly cut like Lara Dutta, ask your hairstylist to cut long bangs, which you can easily style and sweep to one side for a sexy, feminine flair or pin back with a barrette on sweltering days.
Freida Pinto's Oscars' Hair-do Breakdown
Celebrity stylist, Jeffrey Paul, created a fresh and elegant red carpet hair look for Frieda Pinto. Radiant in John Galliano, Pinto’s hair is divided into three parts and twisted back into an architectural, couture flower shape on the right side of the head. “This look has a beautiful architecture; hair is twisted back into a youthful, feminine flower shape that complements Frieda’s face shape and stunning Galliano gown.” Here’s how to get Pinto’s look:
- Start with Aveda Pure Abundance Volumizing Shampoo and Aveda Pure Abundance Volumizing Clay Conditioner.
- Mix a cocktail of Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam and Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip. Work the product into wet hair to add texture and volume. “When creating an updo, it’s important to use products that give thickness and body,” said Paul. “Pinto’s hair already has a lot of shine. The cocktail of Aveda Phomollient Styling Foam and Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip provided just the right amount of hold, body and texture without weighing hair down.”
- Blow dry hair back to add lift and height at the roots.
- Create a left side part and divide hair into three sections: three quarters of hair in one section on the right and the remaining hair into two smaller sections.
- Pull the right section of hair back into a low ponytail just behind the right ear above the nape of the neck.
- Twist the ponytail, working Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip into hair. Wrap the ponytail around the base, creating a flower shape. Secure in place with pins.
- Work Aveda Light Elements Defining Whip into each of the remaining sections and twist back and around the flower shape, creating a layered, rose-like effect. “The three twists flow together for beautiful movement,” said Paul.
- Finish the look with Aveda Air Control Hair Spray.
- Lastly, shake the head a bit to loosen up the look and provide a sense of natural movement.
