Make-up Trend: Smoky Eyes with Bright Eyeliner

Looking sexy and summer-ready on the cover of Elle India, Lisa Haydon makes a splash with her smoky-bold eyes, giving the 'ol smoky eyes an unexpected fun twist. Taking a cue from her Shrivan Narresh lime and forest green swimsuit, make-up artist Cory Walia brushed charcoal eye shadow all over lids and lower lash lines. He then used forest green eye shadow as an eyeliner on her top lid and lower lid. To give the look some shimmer he added a frosty white highlight in her crease, on her brow bones, as well as on her lower lids, right under the green eyeliner. He bursh 3-4 coats of mascara on her upper and lower lashes. On her cheeks, Cory applied a soft pink blush. For the lips, he finished off with a soft pink lipstick applied with a lip brush, and a pechy-pink lip gloss applied only in the middle of her lower lip.

Make-up Trend: Sculpted Cheekbones

At a press conference for her upcoming movie, Minissha Lamba glowed in her cream highlighter. "We wanted to create an ethereal dewy look," said makeup artist Jojo, who was inspired by her flawless skin. "We kept the cheekbones high and highlighted with peachy coral cream blush for a soft and almost nude skinned look.” A wash of illuminator over her entire face completed the effect.

A/W 2010-2011: Runway Beauty [Manish Arora]

“I wanted the makeup to look like colored lights on the face.” said M·A·C artist, Kabuki, of the look at Manish Arora. “Very youthful and psychedelic, I imagined Louise Brooks going down a rabbit hole and finding herself at a techno rave. It’s a celebration of color.” Kabuki applied M.A.C Select Cover Up Concealer all over the face including under and over the eye brows to blank them out. M.A.C Paintstick in Primary Yellow was used on the inner and outer corners of eyes (with edges blurred). M.A.C Cream Colour Base in Orange Alarm was placed in the center of the eyelid (from lash to slightly above the crease and blended up). M.A.C PRO Invisible Set Powder was dusted on top to set color. M.A.C Chromaline in Cyan was used to draw a very thin arched brow and lashes were left bare. For the lips, Kabuki applied M.A.C Lip Glass in Pink Poodle (precisely applied) then followed up with a coat of M.A.C Clear Lip Glass for added shine over the pink.

      Verve's Beauty Forecast [January]

      Beauty and make-up trends tend to change subtly from season to season. So, every year the color schemes follow a palette similar to the previous one – though usually with a slight noticeable twist. We would normally not change the colors for the foundation and concealers that we use as they depend on our skin tone, but while making up our eyes, lips, hair and nails it’s best to keep in sync with the current trends. Verve asks experts for the latest lowdown for 2010!

      Emphasized Eyebrows
      At one time the eyebrow was probably one of the most undervalued features of the face but as fashions changed, people began paying more and more attention to it. The 1920s were all about thin and straight brows; arches dominated the 1950s and Brooke Shields’ infamous bushy eyebrows brought us the ‘untamed’ look in the 1980s.
      The current trend focuses on accentuating your brows. “Eyebrows are important this season; the emphasis is on thick and dark brows which highlight the expression of your eyes. The trick is to fill in your brows with the appropriate color – black or brown – using a dark pencil, depending on what works best for you. You need to emphasize your eyebrows and make them stand out,” says Meeta Awatramani, training manager, Clarins, India. This look works best for Indians as we are already blessed with nice, shapely eyebrows; it balances the face and is easier to maintain.

      Power Eyes
      Eye make-up visibly changes every season, particularly from summer to winter. Make-up and hair stylist Vipul Bhagat says, “Bright colors always work well for me. My current favorites are black or silver glitter over the eyelids.” He recommends even shades like blue, green, bronze and yellow. Applying a shade of grey or black to the corners of your eyelids tones down the bright effect.
      The long slanted liner is a big rage now. “You need to exaggerate the contour all the way to the temple. If you have a really steady hand then follow the shape of your eyelid with an eye-liner and just pull a bit at the ends. If you are not comfortable using the liner, use a brush and eyeshadow for a similar look,” advises make-up artist, Kapil Ghatge.

      Voluptuous Lips
      Dark, bold lips in almost neon shades are huge this season. Focusing on just the lips and keeping the rest of your make-up – like eyes and cheeks toned down – really brings out this look. Although deep shades of reds, pinks and oranges are in, remember that these shades are ‘high maintenance’. They need to constantly be touched up, as the colors start wearing off. “Use them in the day only if you are sitting in an air-conditioned environment or when you are going out in the night,” suggests Bhagat.

      Voluminous Lashes
      An essential part of making a fashion statement, they are now available in different colors and according to the size of your eyes. The most commonly used colors are brown and black, as they are the most natural and easy to pull off. People are even adorning their lashes with crystals and sequins! Artificial eyelashes open out your eyes making them look bigger, bolder and prettier. But they are tricky to wear on your own. If you are unable to put them on, the best option would be to double up on the mascara to enhance your peepers. “Make your lashes long and extremely voluminous in 2010!” says Tashnu Khariwala, brand manager, Shiseido.

      Lustrous hair
      Straight hair is out! Waves are in. Volume will continue to be a big trend this year. “For people who don’t like to experiment too much with their hair, it is advisable to maintain mid-length locks with soft waves. If you don’t mind a little bit of experimentation, you can try anything from the ’60s-inspired short bobs to the pixie cuts that are back,” urges hair stylist Raika Vaswani. Hair colour seems to have changed quite a bit for the upcoming year. Deep shades of brown, plums, shades of auburn and mahogany along with bright bold red and black undertones, with maybe a lavender hue, would work best for us.

      Bright/Dark Nails
      We use our hands for everything we do, so maintaining them is important. The nail polish can speak volumes about a woman – if it’s a shade of red you know that the woman wants to look sexy; black indicates daring and a French manicure is a clue that someone is playing it safe and simple. Matte manicures are making a strong comeback for 2010. Gel and acrylic nails have also been around for sometime now and are still in, in a big way – be it digital prints on nails or the regular French manicure. Make-up artist Ritika Karna says, “French-manicured acrylic nails are the most practical as they don’t need to be constantly touched up and look very elegant.” For nail colours the palette is varied, they can be anything from bright orange, yellow, red, pink, cool blues, purples and black which is still trendy.

      Cory Walia on Bollywood's Emerging Make-up Trends


      From Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to Raveena Tandon, Salman Khan to Aamir Khan, Shilpa Shetty to Vidya Balan, Cory Walia knows their faces like the back of his hand. Not known to be a man who minces words when it comes to advising stars on skincare, Cory credits former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai with having good skin. "But she is so hyper and does not rest enough," he says.

      Of the former Bollywood actors, he rates Late Divya Bharati's skin as the best he has seen. ‘‘She had gorgeous skin. Hema Malini still maintains great skin and so does Dimple Kapadia," he says. As for male stars, Cory says Dino Morea has great skin. ‘‘He is careful about his skincare regime and is paranoid about it.''

      How much has make-up on the big screen changed over the years?
      It has changed drastically and dramatically! There is a new crop of internationally-trained, sophisticated make-up artists. Then there is the opening up of the Indian economy, and especially the cosmetics industry. Cosmetics were considered frivolous and heavily taxed. Today, it is the other way round. It is a hungry and growing market: big money, an influx of producers, globalization, sophisticated directors, producers, technical crew, the stars themselves and make-up artists, advances in lighting and camera technology and equipment have all contributed to the change! Today, the make-up that a socialite wears to a party is easily translated to a Bollywood look.

      Which actors have really good skin?
      There are quite a number of them. Raveena Tandon, Malaika Arora, Amrita Arora, Tabu, Manisha Koirala, Kareena Kapoor, Sushmita Sen and Dia Mirza. Hema Malini still maintains great skin, and so too does Dimple Kapadia. Sarika, Poonam Dhillon and Jayalalitha have such beautiful skin. But Madhubala, Meena Kumari, Asha Parekh did not. Nor did Madhuri Dixit Nene have very good skin.

      When it comes to skincare, many of the present day actors are lazy. They over-work and don't give their skin time to revitalize. They do not take enough vitamins, drink enough water, eat a balanced diet or exercise; it's a combination of everything. A lot of people rely on genetics but like everything else, skin is prone to the effects of gravity. The new advances in technology are helping a lot of women, and hopefully everyone will care enough about themselves and not about their bank balance.

      In fact, male actors are more conscious and aware of skincare than many of their female counterparts. Examples? Aamir Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Shahid Kapur and John Abraham. Salman Khan had good skin, but it's not so now. Arjun Rampal has naturally good skin.

      Are there any companies that make make-up products for teenage skin?
      There is no such thing like a range of make-up for teens. In today's world, all make-up brands emphasize skincare strongly and, if the quality of make-up is good, anybody from 16 to 60 can use it.

      Are there actors for whom make-up has really worked wonders?
      If an actor's features are in the correct proportion and if the person is really talented, he or she can look like a million bucks – just look at Konkona Sen Sharma. Nargis Dutt used to have very masculine features but look what great camera work, lighting, styling and sheer acting talent made her look like on screen. There were so many unglamorous roles that the Late Smita Patil took on, but even in them she looked gorgeous. My muse is Chitrangada Singh; I love her looks. She is such a wonderful girl with earthy demeanor and sophistication. She is very intelligent too.

      What colors work best on people with dark skin tones?
      If used correctly, every color looks great on any skin. It is important to learn about proportions. Strong deep metallic eye shadows are the way to go. I swear by kajal [kohl] and I also like the classic, deep, matte red lipstick, when combined with a basic eyeliner, you get a great look.

      How best can one translate reel life make-up to real life?
      Find an identifiable person that you actually resemble. Do not just go chasing your dreams and desires; be realistic. Then emulate and observe, emulate and observe. Look at magazines, check out interviews and find out where your personal individual styling stands. Read tips and learn more about them.

      You have a strong view about the role of eye brows in make-up...
      I feel they are the welcoming features of our face. The way you shape your eyebrows can make or mar a look. If your eyebrows are untidy and unkempt, your eyes may not look attractive. Sadly, there is a new trend of shaving off eyebrows. Imagine, actors shaving off their eyebrows!

      Which Bollywood film stars' life completely changed after you gave them some tips?
      Raveena Tandon, for one. I did her eyebrows for the very first time in her life. I told her to not to worry about her nose. I told her how to combine dark eyes and light lips and light eyes and dark lips. The other person who took my advice seriously a long time ago was Salman Khan. I told him how he needed to hold himself taller. There are a few things a man should do to look sophisticated, like use a deodorant and mouthwash.

      How much make-up do you use on yourself?
      I used to apply a lot of make-up on a daily basis and even at night. Now I use it only when I am preparing for television shows. When I was younger, I used to wear make-up when heading to a club. In fact, I was the pioneer of the make-up on men movement in India.

      So are actors using make-up in their day-to-day life?
      I do not know of men who use make-up in their day-to-day life but I can tell you for sure that in old Bollywood, it was a norm. Before Eastman color hit the big screen in India in the 1960s, actors like Shammi Kapoor, Jeetendra, Rajendra Kumar and Pradeep Kumar wore foundation base in purple and, over this, pink make-up. They always wanted to look fair. When you see some of the old films Jeetendra's acted in, you can't miss the way his face was painted.

      Tells us about your tie up with Inglot?
      My association with Inglot is pretty new but for the last couple of years, I've been a big fan of the brand – of their quality and of the payoff. Color payoff is very important; what you see in the container and what appears on the face usually differs hugely. But I am very happy with Inglot. Besides, they have a huge range available.

      Finally, what are a few things every woman must keep a check on?
      Water intake (eight glasses a day), shapely eyebrows, regular skincare and maintaining a good body posture. If you have a good posture and carry yourself well, even an average person can look enigmatic and dynamic.

      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'oreal
      According 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.

      Chanel
      The 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 Ever
      This 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.

      Cory Walia on Fall 2009's Make-up Trends

      One of the most well known rumours on the Bollywood circuit used to be that former Miss World, Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan shied away from posing for a photoshoot if her make-up was handled by anyone other than Cory Walia.

      The celeb make-up artist has since worked on the famous faces of Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, Malaika Arora-Khan, Bipasha Basu and Rani Mukherjee, to name a few.

      What’s the perfect look for this season?
      Berry colors ranging from pink to plum are really in this season. I can guarantee that this fall, the flawless look with heavy mascara and red lips are going to be big. The metallic look is also in. But it’s always best to go with the look that suits one’s personality.

      How does one go about achieving that elusive natural look?
      To get the natural look keep your make up simple and use colors that are as close to your natural skintone as possible. Use concealer to hide any spots.

      And what is the one essential make-up tool for women this season?
      A make-up base is very important. It gives a silky feel and evens out your skin before you apply anything else.

      In Conversation with Vimi Joshi

      According to Vimi Joshi, Senior M.A.C. Artist for Middle East and India, brown is the new black. And she should know, as it is her hands that transformed models' faces into colored canvases for the runway shows that are happening as part of the Fashion Arabia Expo, which you can view here, here and here.

      What are your favorite colors to use, and which ones do you shy away from?
      I love brown, it's such a gorgeous color and it looks great on all skin tones. For other colors, I love a challenge so I say bring it on!

      How was your experience creating looks for the shows?
      My team and I did all the runway shows, which was great. The first show was very nude, with a light color in the corner and then it became smokey as the day went on. We didn't take off the make-up completely for each show, instead we minimized and emphasized different areas of the models' faces. The models begged us not to completely remove and re-apply as their skin becomes very sensitive.

      Any quick beauty tips?
      Always moisturize first, then apply your foundation, mascara, lip color, and finally groom your brows. You'll be out of the door in no time.

      Her way of doing it?
      "It's important to keep your skin hydrated and moisturized, I recommend using M.A.C Studio Moisture Cream. Then you should apply foundation, to get a 3 in 1 effect, use M.A.C Studio Tech because it starts as a cream and then turns to powder. To contour the face, I like using M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish Natural in Dark should be used. The purpose of contouring is to shade an area you want to minimize, so that you enhance features you like."

      Vimi's Smoky Eye Steps:

      She also says, "If baring it all is big for autumn, then so are highly sculptured features that have the slight element of a surgeon's hand about them. It's all about exploring the landscapes of the face to create a look that was highly photo-shopped." She recommends M.A.C Notoriety Eye Shadow Quad.

      "To transform any look from daily wear to runway, use M.A.C #7 Lashes and apply M.A.C Carbon Eye Shadow to the base of the lash tips. It's the getting married everyday, but I'm also a bad girl look. Very contoured and sculptural." Vimi Joshi
