Make-up Trend: Lilac Cheeks and Lips
Chosen as the newest face to represent Lux Purple, Katrina Kaif sported some lilacy-feminine makeup at a recent photoshoot. To create her look, layer a moisturizing pink-lilac lipstick on the your lips—and on your cheeks. The key point is as long as your lipstick formula is creamy and soft, not dry, it will double as a cheek stain. Dab it on the apples of your cheeks and blend with your fingers for a natural, girlish flush.

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: A Winter Glow
It might be December, but on the latest issue of Filmfare, Katrina Kaif sports a midsummer's glow. Rather than applying your bronzer just on the apples of your cheeks, dust it over the highest points of your face like the center of your forehead, bridge of your nose, and middle of your chin. Because that's where the sun hits naturally, in turn making your tan look real.

Make-up Trend: Smooth, Moisturized Skin
When your skin looks as healthy as Katrina Kaif's did at the Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani premiere, there's nothing else needed to be done to get noticed. Well-nourished skin is more eye-catching and the best part is it's not difficult to achieve. Apply lotion directly after the shower, but don't towel-off too much—damp skin will act like a sponge and retain more moisture.

Make-up Trend: Coral-Rose Lips
With skin so flawless, dark brown eyes, and free flowing waves in her hair, Katrina Kaif could not look more ethereal on November's issue of Vogue India. But instead of going for the soft pink lips she's usually spotted with, Katrina's make-up artist Subhash Singh opted for a coat of a warmer, rosier shade—which hit just the right note of sophistication. To try the look, choose a gloss with slight orange or beige undertones.

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."

Katrina Kaif Signed As Olay Brand Ambassador
In addition to brand ambassador Sushmita Sen promoting Olay Total Effects, Katrina Kaif has been signed as the brand ambassador of international cosmetic giant Oil of Olay that launched the newly formulated White Radiance range in India.
A source close to Kats adds, "Katrina is a youth icon of today. The international brand found Kats to be the apt model to market their product."
Make-up Trend: Peachy, Coral Cheeks
To accentuate a summer glow like Katrina Kaif, warm up your complexion with a sheer wash of creamy peach blush rubbed into the apples of the cheeks and temples. (Powder formulas can look cakey in the heat.) Another added bonus? Apricot tones are especially flattering if you've gotten a little too much sun.

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: 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.

Katrina Kaif's Beauty Secrets
- Daily Rituals: I take off my make-up with Shu Uemura Skin Purifier Cleansing Beauty Oil and massage my face with La Prairie night cream.
- Fitness Secrets: I have stopped going to the gym because I put on muscle easily. I do Pilates with Yasmin Karachiwala.
- Sinful Secret: My cappuccino fix... give me good cappuccino and I will trade it for diamonds.
- Diva Tip: Use serum on your hair and use a paddle brush for a silky smooth de-frizzed look.
- Day and Night Look: Peter Thomas Roth Max Daily Defense Moisture Cream SPF 30, Stila Lip Glaze in Apricot and Max Factor 2000 Calorie Curved Brush Mascara to go with my day look, which is tunics and checked shirts. For the night, I tend to dress up more formally so I use a Make Up For Ever Camouflage Cream Palette in No. 3, YSL Automatic Eyeliner in Easy Black, Stila Lip Glaze in Apricot and Giorgio Armani Sheer Blush. I set it with M.A.C NC 30 Select Sheer Loose Powder and touch up with Bobbi Brown Sheer Finish Pressed Powder in Warm Natural.
- Inner Glow: I use acai berry supplements to keep my skin healthy. I have wheatgrass powder every day in a drink. I am trying to give myself an antioxidant boost with green tea and am on a macrobiotic raw food diet.
- Hair Secrets: I use Kiehl's Olive Fruit Oil Deeply Repairation Hair Pak and Kiehl's Leave-In Hair Conditioner. My hair is exposed to a lot of styling and blow-drying so I also use heat-protect products. I use Pantene Five Minute Strengthening Rinse-Off Mask; it really works on my thick hair… I love my hair, but I would chop it off for a role.
Make-up Trend: Dewy Skin
We're all prone to the greasies, especially in the summer, but reaching for the powder puff can leave you with a matte, muddy mess, along with a breakout. Instead, get a soft, natural sheen like Katrina Kaif by priming skin with an oil-absorbing lotion, like Smashbox Photo Finish Light Primer, which contains light diffusers to camouflage imperfections, along with ingredients that soak up oil before you look too shiny.
