Make-up Trend: Orange-Red Lips

On the latest issue of Jade, Asin shows us an updated version of the classic bold lip by choosing a shade with a great dose of orange. A matte orange-red lip can be achieved with a soft lip brush. You can prevent the color from looking clownish by applying a dab of lipstick or gloss to the center of your lips, then blending outwards with your fingers.

Make-up Trend: Black Eyeliner and Red Lips

Matte berry-red lips and black eye liner don't need to be overwhelming, like Asin showed us at the Filmfare nominations party. To get her look rim your upper lids, starting in the inner corners and drawing out. Thicken the line toward the outer edges, continue on to the bottom, focusing the liner only in your waterline. Then, using a small pointed brush, dab a tiny amount of champagne-gold powder shadow in the inner corners only. For the lips, dab a tiny bit of foundation on your mouth to keep the red looking as it is in the tube. Then fill your lips with a red liner, to create a base for the lipstick. Apply the lipstick on top and you're all set.

Make-up Trend: Shimmery Cheeks

If you've got well-moisturized skin like Asin, a squirt of liquid or gel blush with a hint of shimmer could be just what your cheeks need. To get her look at the announcement of The 55th Idea Filmfare Awards, choose a subtle shade that matches the natural flush of your cheeks. Then, with your middle finger, dab blush onto the apples of your cheeks and blend with both your middle and ring finger. The clean finger will pick-up any excess product—and keep you from overdoing your blush.

Make-up Trend: Peachy, Summery Cheeks

Roses are so winter! Your skin looks instantly brighter and livelier with peach blush. Complement a neutral smoky eyes like Asin, by dusting a rich apricot color on cheeks. If your skin is fair, sweep a peach blush over areas the sun would hit (cheeks, nose, forehead and chin) to warm up your face.

Make-up Trend: Ombre-Effect Smoky Eyes

For Asin's February's Filmfare photo shoot, makeup artist Mickey Contractor created "a cocktail look that's slightly less formal than what I would do for a red carpet. We did not want it to be too dramatic," says Mickey, who used M.A.C products to achieve the look.

Mickey kept the skin simple and fresh using matte foundation and pale pink blush. He created an ombre smoky effect on the eyes using navy shimmer and gray shadows, accented with a silver-gray pencil along the lower lash lines. He muted the color of Asin's lips using a nude pencil and a swipe of sheer peachy gloss.
