Freida says: "I like that this look is really clean makeup and an easy updo. And it's one of my favorites because it's a me-look—something I could do myself. Well, I could pin my hair up, but obviously I could never curl it like that."

Make-up Trend: Gray-Green Smoky Eyes
Instyle: Freida Pinto's Favorite Looks of Herself [May 2010]
No-Fuss Glamour
Shiny Hair and Dewy Skin
Freida says: "More could have been done here—maybe a little more kohl? I just feel the look was lacking something in the eyes. Overall, though, the hair and the skin were done up really well. They've both got a little shine which goes well with the fabric of the dress.
Wispy Updo
Freida says: "Normally I keep it really safe, but that night I experimented with my hair—I quite enjoyed it actually. The overall look was meant to be simple, but the hair was meant to be fabulous."
Intense Eyes
Freida says: "The Screen Actors Guild Awards! That was probably my favorite look ever. The hair was all pulled back and as slick as possible and the eyes were dramatized, but just a wee bit. This look showed off more of me than styles where my hair covers my face. And the makeup was just fabulous."
Super Long Strands
"When I see this picture, I miss my hair length. This picture touches me. Now my hair is much shorter. I tried a pink babydoll mouth that night because the rest of the hair and makeup was so open and simple. I quite liked it actually."
Elegant Neutrals
Freida says: "I like the colors I chose to play with. I think with my skintone, nudes are very complementary. The only problem was the hair—it did not remain the way it was styled because of the texture. I’ve got a lot of hair but it’s really fine. When I left the hotel, the curls at the bottom were tighter, but by the time I reached the ceremony, they just opened up. My hair was being funny. Nothing much can be done about that."
Stress-free Hair
Freida says: "This picture was just me being me. I did not know what the red carpet was all about. I left my makeup and hair in the hands of people who knew what they wanted to do. It was an easy updo—one where you wake up, pin your hair up and walk out of the house. Which is why it matches my personality. I don’t really stress too much about my hair or my makeup."

Thoughts on the ladies?
Make-up Trend: Bright Skin
"I always love to show off the amazing skin of Freida Pinto," says makeup artist Jeffrey Paul, who created this look for the actress at the BAFTA LA Britannia Awards in Century City. He prepped the skin with moisturizer, a mist of balancing spray, and eye cream. His real trick, however, was making the concealer work double-duty: "I blended it below the eyes and on the lids, too. It makes a great base for eye shadow."

Make-up Trend: Understated Eyes
Freida Pinto's peachy-pink lips and sheer flushed cheeks left her looking glowy and gorgeous at Louis Vuitton's Pret-a-Porter Show at Paris Fashion Week. What made her make up really stand out was her light, understated eye makeup that didn't steal the focus from the rest of the face. If you feel too naked wearing nothing at all on your eyes, try a wash of shimmery nude shadow and just a few swipes of black mascara. Your lips should be the highlight.

Freida Pinto's L'oreal Ads
Here's a first look at Freida Pinto's new L'oreal ads. She's promoting the new L'oreal Renewal Lash Serum. So what do you think? Does she look good?
UPDATE: Here's the ad featuring Freida Pinto
The woman has such a gorgeous face, and amazing bone structure, though I wish her eyelashes didn't look so fake.
Make-up Trend: Clear Gloss
Clear gloss might feel like your make-up first, but as Freida Pinto reminded us as at a Burberry party in London, see-through shine has its place. If you've got glowy skin and well-appointed eyes, a dose of colorless sheen can be just what you need to turn heads—no nudity required.

M.A.C Senior Artist Vimi Joshi: Behind The Scenes
Lipstick and kajal are so yesterday. Makeup's now an art form that can transform you. It's governed by trends and let's admit it, Bollywood would not be half as glamorous if it were not for the magic of makeup. M.A.C Senior Artist Vimi Joshi, gives us the lowdown on the makeup secrets of her famous clientele, what it's like behind the scenes at a fashion show and what are the latest trends to adopt.
On the sets
The look in Bollywood is classic. Actors work under harsh lights and the camera misses nothing, so the makeup has to be flawless and needs touching up and refreshing often. However, most actors want to look like themselves onscreen, preferring smoky eyes and nude lips.
Backstage at a fashion show
To the untrained eye, the buzz around most fashion shows seems similar gorgeous models slip into fabulous dresses while the glitterati take their seats in the front row. But Vimi says that each fashion capital has its own unique vibe. "It really depends on which city you are in. New York is arty and there are many celebrities. London is edgier. Milan is sexy and Paris is sophisticated."
If you have been backstage at a fashion show, you will see makeup artists frantically working on models with clockwork precision. This is courtesy many trials and rehearsals. It's the entire team, comprising the designer, hairdresser, stylist and the makeup artist who work on the look. However, Vimi says that it's finally the designer's vision. She says, "There is so much creativity. Once we might be doing a geisha, the next time a Marilyn Monroe, then an Audrey Hepburn."
But it isn't all peachy when you have tired models and a stressed-out designer going hysterical. "You just breathe and pray and keep your cool. But if no one yelled, it would not be Fashion Week." she says. What also helps is that Vimi does a two-minute aromatherapy facial massage on all the models to calm them, after which they "melt in my hands".
Looks you can try out
The 80s are back with a vengeance. But you don't have to copy their makeup brush stroke for brush stroke. Be tactful and employ what is now being called Punk Couture. Vimi says, "This look is inspired by punk rockers, but is more edgy, glamorous and sophisticated. It's more punk perfection. Couture means tailor-made. So take this look and adapt it to your face." This look is all about strong eyes that scream attitude. Smudge the kajal or eye shadow to get that sultry smoky look.
To replicate the next trend, turn to the Hollywood red carpet. All the beauties strutting their stuff have perfect, almost glowing skin. For this, you need perfectly hydrated skin so use a water-based moisturiser. Pick a foundation closest to your skin tone and finish off with a light pink blush on for that sweet-girl blush and a light layer of lip-gloss. Jennifer Lopez is a great reference, as her makeup is minimal to highlight her glowing skin.
For the festive season
Festivities have begun. Navratri, Diwali and the wedding season will soon be around the corner. With every look that you change, you must make sure your makeup changes accordingly. Vimi suggests you celebrate your Indianness. "I travel around the world and Europeans are spending thousands on buying products for an ideal skin tone. Look for inspiration in the Indian textures and colors." For the festive season, mix matte and shimmer so you don't overdo either. You could have a shimmer eye shadow with a matte finish one applied into the crease of the eyelid, hence pushing forth the shimmered eyelid. Use colors from your outfit in your makeup as well.
Starry eyes: Vimi on her famous clientele
Freida Pinto: Vimi says, "I love her. I have worked with her a couple of times and she is one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people I've met. We first worked together on a photo shoot and then for the Toronto and Dubai film festivals (above). We started off with the nude look, but then got creative. She is open to new looks and ideas."

Bipasha Basu: "We did the Harper's Bazaar shoot with her in London and she was incredible. First we did a nude-gold look and then she said, 'Come on, let's get creative.' So we looked at the clothes and settled on this forest-murky-green look. Bipasha is constantly pushing the creative boundaries."
Dita Von Teese: "With her, you know you are going to be doing the pale skin and red lips; the 1950s look. But the key is that you retain her image."
Amitabh Bachchan: "He is such a gentleman. I met him backstage at an awards function. He literally needed just a touch-up."
Helen: "I love her. She is a beauty icon for India. She does her makeup herself. Helen is a beautiful woman inside out. Her makeup is more subdued and natural now."
Vidya Balan: "I see her for who she is. She is one of the most spiritually grounded women I have met. I love working with her. We actually did a green and blue look for her for a newspaper and she loved it."
Katrina Kaif: "Stunning is the only word I can use for her. How can you improve perfection? Whenever I have worked with her, it was always a very natural look."
Make-up Trend: Poreless, Glowy Skin
We've all tried scrubs, lotions and various facials in our quest for poreless skin, but dermatologists say it's the simple things that yield glowing complexions. For skin as even as Freida Pinto's at Fashion Week, try this little trick: splash your face with warm water to loosen impurities, then wipe away makeup with a moist towelette. Because your face is already mostly clean, you'll be able to do the job with a few swipes, rather than rubbing surface dirt deeper into pores.
Freida Pinto's Make-up Breakdown
One feature that Freida Pinto always highlights are her gorgeous eyes and her high cheekbones. To get her go-to look, follow these steps by ace make-up artist Jeffery Paul. For the skin, Jeffrey Paul use a foundation brush to apply concealer under the eyes and around the nose and topped it with loose powder. To create Pinto's intense eyes, he used shades of black, brown and gray: "They look dramatic on Freida and enhance her natural coloring," Jeffrey Paul says. He lined the eyes with a rich brown liner, and applied a smoky shadow with silver shimmer from the lash line to the crease. He then brushed a beige shadow from under her brow to the crease, blending that into the dark silvery shade. He applied pink blush lightly to the apple of her cheeks and finished the look with berry lip gloss.
"Accenting the eyes with a rich brown liner gives them depth and warmth," says Jeffrey Paul, who smudged the liner after rimming the eyes.

Freida Pinto, The New Face of L'oreal?

L’Oreal has just announced that they are welcoming two big-name stars to their roster of celebrity faces: Freida Pinto and Evangeline Lilly.

ALLURE uncovers Freida Pinto's Gorgeousness
Chanel makeup artist Angela Levin, who created Pinto's look with a collection of Chanel products, for all the details on the fresh, natural look.
The lowdown: For starters, she smoothed Pro Lumiere Professional Finish Makeup SPF 15 in Soft Bisque over Pinto's face, then dusted Natural Finish Pressed Powder in Translucent 1 on her jaw area and T-zone. To warm up her complexion, Levin added Limited Edition 4 Facettes Bronzing Powder on Pinto's cheeks, forehead and nose. Levin got artistic with Pinto's eyes, blending all four shades from the Limited Edition Lumiere Facettes Quadra Eyeshadow in Plein Soleil. A dash of Powder Blush in In Love (a shimmery coral) on the apples of her cheeks, a slick of Rouge Allure lipstick in Naive (a pink-nude) topped with Glossimer in Twinkle (a peachy-pink) and she was good to go.
