Kareena Kapoor's Beauty Secrets in Vogue India [April 2010]
In the latest issue of Vogue India, Kareena Kapoor spills the beans on her beauty secrets. She’s always in the limelight--for her roles and her glam footprint. Here, she takes us on her beauty route.
During the day, I wear no make-up at all. For a night out, I line my eyes with black kohl. I also love a smoky-eyed look with Yves Saint Laurent Wood Brown Long-Lasting Eye Pencil. Plus, I curl my eyelashes and use lots of Yves Saint Laurent Faux Cils Mascara. For lips, I prefer to use a pale pink lipstick.
HANDBAG ESSENTIALS
Under all the junk (my wallet, credit card and odd papers) you’ll find my favorite, M.A.C Cherish Lipstick, M.A.C Improper Copper Cream Colour Base and my Chanel Noir Le Crayon Khol. I can’t live without my kohl pencil.
SCENT OF A WOMAN
I love Jean Paul Gaultier. For special occasions, I apply Un Jardin en Méditerranée by Hermes.
BEAUTY ICONS
I think Scarlett Johansson is beautiful. I like her face, her body and her hair. I also love Julia Roberts for always looking fresh.
TRESS TALK
I love oiling my hair with a mix of almond, castor, coconut and olive oils. I do this once a month. I use a Kerastase shampoo specifically for dry hair, and follow it with a blow-dry.
BEAUTY RITUALS
I use a Lancome face wash. I try to avoid creams because of their chemical content. In cold weather, I use Clarins HydraQuench Rich Cream, and on the beach I use a Clarins sunscreen. I don’t believe in facials.
DIET CHART
I’m a vegetarian and believe in eating lots of green vegetables, like spinach, fenugreek and broccoli. I eat healthy meals with lots of whole grains and don’t cut down on carbs. I eat every 2-3 hours. At night, I usually have dal, vegetables, curd and roti or brown rice. I try to drink at least 6-8 glasses of boiled water every day.
FITNESS REGIME
I do ashtanga and power yoga for an hour every day.

Make-up Trend: A Springtime Red Lip
Rekha and Sonam Kapoor show us that age is not a factor when it comes to a classic red lip. On the latest cover of Filmfare they show us red lips are appropriate in any season. If you're a big fan of red lips and are unsure how to wear them in the spring, look for a shade that's slightly more pink. Also, skip matte formulas which can feel too stiff. A swipe of sheer balm will give even bold colors a lightweight and airy feeling.
Make-up Trend: Natural Nude Blush
Perhaps because she was taken away by so many of her fans' loving messages, Kareena Kapoor's cheeks were full of natural color, she glowed on Karan Johar's show Lift Kara De. To give yourself a boost that's just as believable, look for a sheer pink blush with brown undertones. Swirl on the apples of your cheeks, sweeping upwards towards your temples. The wider application and deeper color will help you avoid the made-up, doll look.
Make-up Trend: Vivid Smoky Eyes

Make-up Trend: Dewy Skin
At the unveiling of the Lonely Planet Magazine, Kareena Kapoor's skin glowed on stage. For a similar effect, polish your skin with a gentle exfoliator with round scrubbing beads, which are gentle enough for sensitive complexions. Follow with a lightweight moisturizer on dry areas like the forehead and cheeks, where there are fewer oil glands. If you still need a bit of coverage, brush on translucent powder instead of pressed—it provides an airy, more natural finish.

Make-up Trend: Mossy Green Eyeliner
At the Stardust Awards, one couldn't help peek at Kareena's gorgeous green eyeliner when she accepted her award of the night. The eyeliner really made her gray-green eyes pop like no other. The trick with bright eyeliner is that it will give you pizazz without making you look like you're 15. To avoid making it look garish, apply a thin line and wing it at the edges. Also, keep the rest of the face soft and simple.

Make-up Trend: Fresh Winter Skin
Femina Magazine has decided on the following ladies to be on their 50 Most Beautiful Woman Issue: Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone and Kareena Kapoor. All four of them look absolutely stunning on their respective covers. One thing they all have in common is gorgeous skin. To get your skin to look as fresh in the winter as well, blend a dab of moisturizer with a dose of tinted moisturizer. You'll get an even and subtle application, and a much needed glow.

Make-up Trend: Matte, Red Stain
On this month's issue of GQ India, Kareena Kapoor was seen channeling Marilyn Monroe with the curls and that white halter dress. You can't have a Marilyn without a red lip, "That's why I chose the semi-matte shade because it's a very pigmented blue true red which is perfect for her fair skin," said make-up artist Mickey Contractor. To keep the shade from looking too shocking, apply it very sheer, and keep the eyes shimmery and soft."

Make-up Trend: Glam Eyes
I absolutely love Kareena Kapoor's 'glasses and nose ring' look in 3 Idiots, but at the 3 Idiots premiere she rocked the 'glammy smoky eye and dewy look'. The look was a sexy eye with a hint of smokiness. To get the same look, blend a bronzy eye shadow in the crease, a wash of copper eye shadow on the lid, and line your upper and lower lash lines with charcoal eye liner. On the bottom lashes, layer black and charcoal shadow, and finish with two coats of black mascara.

Fall Make-up Trends: Dark make-up
Make-up is a creative art. That fact cannot be stressed enough. For women who are adventurous, there are no rules except the rule of aesthetic excess. While colors come and go, what never fails to stake its claim in make-up repeatedly is the deep and dark look. A look that deliberately keeps colour, as we often see it, off the palette. The result is a portrait of pure mystery powered by the enigma of black and shades that approximate it without being it.
Black is an absolute and it wields absolute power. When used well (in make-up), it is a mark of genius artistry that combines intrigue, temptation and even rebellion. It is a perfect way to highlight the beauty of a woman while cloaking her in a deep mystery and allure. But black is not a place where no light or color can reach. It's a place where the two attributes appear in a completely new context.
This season, trendsetters have been drawn to this bold ‘color' with pure passion. "Fall-Winter 2009 is all about the black eye and the black lip," says Vimi Joshi, M.A.C senior make-up artist for Middle East and India. "I celebrate any woman who dares to go all out and wears black make-up."
Years ago, Chanel was among the pioneers who ushered in a dark make-up palette with rich, dark lipsticks and pure black nail lacquer. This season, reprising its original theme, Peter Philips, global creative director of Chanel make-up, offers the Noirs Obscurs collection.
"Classic black make-up is a popular look that was inspired by a few women rebelling against society," says Joshi. "In contemporary times, films like Twilight have contributed strongly to promoting this look."
Sarah Baldry, chief make-up artist for L'Oréal Paris at the Dubai Fashion Week, has another view of the allure of dark make-up. "Your eyes," she says, "reveal a lot about your personality. But when you use dark make-up on them, you are creating intrigue as your true self is camouflaged. Black is a very mysterious look, an attention getter like no other."
But before you get tempted to use this glamorous camouflage on yourself, a word of advice: such make-up oscillates between a softer, romantic look (aimed to create a dark seductive quality) or a daring, rebellious look (that does well to raise images of the gothic era). While the softer version goes very well on women in their thirties, the classic goth look is more for youngsters burning up the club floor. Dark make-up is also endlessly creative and amenable to clever tricks and streaks. If you don't wish to be full-on daring by wearing black lips, veer off a bit and mix in deep plums or intense violets. For eyes, the smoky look is a timeless classic and the darker it gets, the more interesting it becomes. The slept-in look that works so well on waifish, sultry, pouty faces can be adopted by others even if their pouts are not a mile long or their designer sulks anything close to traffic-stoppers.
How to wear Black
L'orealAccording to Sarah Baldry, chief make-up artist for L'Oréal Paris at the Dubai Fashion Week, the focus in this look is on the eyes. The best way to achieve intense eyes is to keep the skin as light as you can without looking deathly white. As powder tends to dehydrate certain skin types, use a good moisturizing cream to nourish your skin. Use a foundation that creates a matte flawless effect and set it with loose powder. Take into consideration your skin tone (lighter or darker) in order to choose the correct shade of foundation and powder.
For the eyes, use a beige eyeshadow as a base over the lids and as a highlight under the brows. Then apply two shades of black eyeshadow over the lids. Use black kohl to define the upper and lower lash lines and draw a fine line with a silvery white kohl pencil inside the lower lash line. This works like a light bulb! Use a peach blush to contour cheek bones. For lips, use a coral lipgloss after lining them with a nude lipliner. A sultry, flawless overall effect is guaranteed.

ChanelThe key is to experiment and explore all dimensions of black, according to Peter Philips. He recommends deep and intense tones to compose a bold and graphic palette. Regardless of age or skin tone, the collection can be adapted to any occasion as long as you calibrate the intensity accordingly. For daytime, it's either dark lips or dark eyes. Not both at the same time. For the evening look, creating the perfect complexion is a must to show off the black. Choose a luminous foundation that will electrify the effect of black. Shade the eyes subtly by applying a light layer of eyeshadow.
For very intense and dramatic eyes, intensify the eyeshadow by using more layers. Use other eye shadows to complement, structure and intensify eye make-up. Apply black pencil in the inner waterline of the eyes and an eyeliner too for more intensity. Finish by dressing eyes with Exceptionnel de Chanel Mascara or Inimitable Mascara. Perfect the lips with your choice of dark color.
And yes, most importantly, don't forget to color coordinate your nails. It's black down to the fingertips.

M.A.C Cosmetics"Dark make-up is meant to be worn either way: a classic black smoky eye with a nude lip which is very trendy or the bold smoky black eye with a black lip," says Vimi Joshi. To get more comfortable with it for real-life wear, pale down the skin tone and go for smoky eyes with nude lip!
Apply M.A.C Studio Tech Foundation, making sure it matches your skin tone exactly. The foundation starts off as a cream and sets to a powder. To create a beautifully contoured face, add Mineralize Skinfinish in Dark under the cheekbones, on the temples and around the jawline. Create a black smoky eye: black eye pencil lined in inner and upper corners of the waterline (inside eyes), smudged with a pencil brush and blended to a smoky effect. Add black eyeshadow on the lids and blend into the socket line using a blending brush. Coat the lashes with black mascara. If you want extra drama, add on a dark lip: M.A.C Burgundy Lip Pencil and M.A.C Diva Lipstick are perfect for this glamorous Twilight-inspired look.
Women in their thirties; create a smoky black eye, but go for classical red lips. Teenagers Be as daring as you want. Age is on your side.

Make Up For EverThis look is all about dark eyes, lips and nails. To prepare your skin to offset this darkness beautifully, lighten your complexion using a light shade primer (blue shade). Go for a lighter shade of foundation (one to two shades lighter). Fix your foundation with a loose powder.
Sculpt your face to show contouring. Focus on the cheeks. Use a light shade of waterproof eyebrow gel as the eyebrows should appear colored. Apply a matte concentrated and long-lasting black eyeshadow around the eyes. Pay special attention to the outer corner of the eyes to perfect the smoky look. Add a hint of dark shadow under the eyes. An intensely black kohl pencil to line under the eyes works as a masterstroke. Stick on false eyelashes and dress them in pure black waterproof mascara. Outline your lips with a waterproof lip pencil - matte dark plum. Fill in with dark maroon lippy. As a final touch, spray a light film of make-up fixer to give your make-up longer after-hours.

Make-up Trend: Opaque, Soft Pink Lips
On this month's issue of Cineblitz, Kareena Kapoor matched her lips with her black and pink dress. What stood out was the fact that she kept the color very delicate and light instead of matching it with the bright pink on her dress. A a delicate swipe of lipstick is cute, but neatly layering it on with 3-4 coats can be surprisingly impactful—especially in soft pinks and nudes.

Make-up Trend: A Classic Smoky Eye
Gorgeous makeup doesn't have to be trendy or edgy. Take Kareena Kapoor's simple (and stunning) slate smoky shadow on December's issue of Vogue India. To get this classic look just right, prep lids with a creamy eye primer before adding any color. Then layer on gray shadow with a soft brush and rim the eyes with black liner. The primer holds makeup in place—which means you decide exactly how smudgy you want to get.

Make-up Trend: Alabastrous Skin
You don't need much makeup on your face when the rest of your skin is as creamy and clear as Kareena Kapoor's is on the cover of this month's Filmfare. If you're wearing a strappy dress, don't be afraid to blend a few drops of your foundation along your neck and decolletage to block-out any ruddiness. Finish by dusting with a translucent powder to keep the makeup from rubbing off.

Make-up Trend: Bright Pink Blush
Blush doesn't have to be subtle to be gorgeous—take Kareena Kapoor's look at the 3 Idiots Press Meet. Rather than shading color along your cheekbones, dab just on the apples of your cheeks. And be sure to use a cream tint, not a powder formula—the color is more concentrated and easier to blend.

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.
