Thoughts on the ladies?
Make-up Trend: Neutral Lips
In her latest ad for Longines, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan sported a look that was all about lips. Candy red lips may be all the rage, but that isn't the only way to make a statement. If you're wearing earthy makeup, choose a lip shade that's in the same palette with a hint of sheen. It's unexpected, understated, and surprisingly chic.

Make-up Trend: Glowy, Pink Cheeks
At the police show held in Mumbai, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had straight hair, smoldering eyes, and perfect pink cheeks. Her secret for blush that's natural, but not too subtle? Start by blending silky foundation very lightly with a wet sponge, then topped it with a sheer cream blush in a rose hue. Give it a try—a thin layer of foundation will help other pigment adhere to your skin and increase the luminescence factor.

Make-up Trend: Tomato-Red Lips
At the premiere of Paa, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's shiny red lipstick gave her skin a pearly, luminescent glow. If your complexion has yellow undertones—rather than pink or red—try a tomato shade, which has more orange and white than true crimson. Pair your bold lips with a simple sweep of eyeliner and mascara. The effect speaks for itself.

Make-up Trend: Nude, Mauve-y Lips
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looked flawless in red lips that she was seen sporting on the Longines Swiss Watch Launch runway, but at a party celebrating the launch of Longines Primaluna Collection, she went with a more natural look that included nude, mauve-y lips. For a similar effect, choose a chubby lip pencil in a shade that closely matches the actual color of your lips, then top it with a lip gloss in the same shade. It's perfect for the daytime—and even better at night.

Make-up Trend: Tighter and Smoother Skin
Lines, wrinkles, crow's feet; nobody wants to hear those words when it comes to their skin. One way to get smoother and tighter looking skin like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's is to increase the amount of your anti-wrinkle cream by applying it using a zipper method. Separate the area you're targeting with your thumb and forefinger of one hand, then apply the cream onto the wrinkle with the other hand using a back-and-forth sweeping motion.
