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.

Genelia D'Souza's Speaks to Vogue India Beauty
Genelia's beauty must-haves: Use a good moisturizer for a cleaner, fresher look and some tinted blush on cheeks to add an instant pop of color to the face.
Day and night looks: I like my day look to be as simple as possible; fresh skin, some kajal, a light blush, mascara and sun block. Bright eyes are a must for a night out. I love experimenting with different colored eye shadows: sky blue and aquamarine to name a few, and hues of purple for eyeliners. They work amazingly in accentuating my eyes.
Date-night look: Sun-kissed skin, nude or pink lips and bright eyes.
Spa fix: A protein treatment and hair spa from Kroma Kay is an absolute must.
Hair Tips: You should condition your hair before a blow-dry and it is vital to get all the conditioner washed off your hair. I don't like to use a lot of product on my hair and set it in a particular way while blow-drying; I usually just ease it out a bit, I like my hair shiny and full of volume.

Beauty Talk With Priyanka Chopra
Good looking means:
I would define it as someone who is ‘comfortable’ in their own skin! I think more than good looks, it’s a person’s attitude and the way they dress that determines how they are viewed.
Her skin care regimen:
It’s simple! Cleansing, toning and moisturizing everyday and drinking lots of water.

Her hair care regimen:
My hair is very healthy and naturally strong and shiny. Because of my profession, my hair is battered and abused! Therefore, I make it point to oil my hair regularly and shampoo and condition it as well with Sunsilk shampoo and conditioner. I trim my hair once in about 2 months or as and when I feel the need and avoid highlighting my hair.

Her favorite make-up, hair and skin products:
I use YSL Luxurious Mascara, M.A.C Studio Fix Powder, M.A.C blushes, The Body Shop Lip Balms, Clarins HydraQuench Cream. Aloe Vera is great for the skin. I love Sunsilk shampoo and conditioner.

Favourite make-up trick:
I would say highlight your assets. If it’s your eyes then applying kajal and a little liner works best. For your cheek bones, the right blush will do the trick. It’s important for one to know the colors that complement you and what your best features are.

Any make up tips:
Moisturize and when you’re confused about what to do… just keep it simple!

Her wellness and fitness mantra:
I work 19 hours a day… am over stressed, over worked and under paid!!!!! I would love to visit a spa as often as I can but with my hectic schedule, I don’t really get a chance to.

Favourite spa treatment:
I enjoy all aspects of a spa experience and don’t have a particular favourite. But if I was forced to make a choice it would have to be the Kerala Ayurvedic Spa treatment.

Bridal Checklists
Shilpa Shetty on her Engagement Day- The beauty regime, long before D-day:
To look good on D-day, start a beauty regime way before… A complete body care plan should be started about 6-8 weeks before the wedding. Talk to your beautician about having regular facials and manicures. Don't get too much sun before your wedding. Sunburns and peeling skin shouldn't ruin your wedding day. - Beauty, inside out:
Inside turmoil or stress shows on the face. Not getting enough sleep or not eating properly will without a doubt show on your face! If you are really stressed out consider having a relaxing massage once a week for a month and also a day before the wedding. Burn some relaxing aromatic candles around the house to help calm your nerves. - Choose your look:
While the style you choose for your wedding make-up will ultimately depend on your personal preference, but there are some other factors you should consider: the time of the ceremony, the time of the year, your skin tone and hair color. Choose colors according to the season — a spring-summer wedding should be more inclined to soft pastels while deeper reds work well in winters. Your make up should be more dramatic than your everyday make-up else you'll look pale and washed-out in photos. - Trial:
Organize a trial around 1-2 weeks before the wedding and get dressed in your full regalia — clothes, jewelry and make-up in place. It is a good idea to have your friends with you to give their input and also for them to pick out a look way different from yours. Keep the trial at the same time of the day or night as the wedding is supposed to be. - Touch-up:
For D-day, ask your Mom or one of your friends to carry a powder compact, tissues and lipstick for touch-ups during the event.
Shilpa Shetty on her Wedding DayChoose the right colors
- Foundation: Foundations generally have either a golden or blue-toned base, with variations that flatter a wide group of faces in the warm and cool ranges. If you have cool skin, choose a foundation that has blue or pink undertones and use a yellow-base foundation for warm skin. Test the color on your face and have a look at yourself in sunlight to make sure that you have a good match.
- Blush: Fair skin tones are best suited to pink, tawny, and beige blushes. Darker skin tones look best in plums if they are cooler and auburns or rich bronze if they are warmer. For olive to yellow skin tones, try blushes in copper, almond, and warm brown shades. Finally, tanned skin looks best in warm colors like peach, coral, apricot, and orange.
- Powder: Avoid using pressed powder compacts, which can streak foundation or clump in spots. Follow the same rules you would with foundation.
- Lipstick: Examine a tester version of lipsticks on a sheet of white paper to discover their dominant colour. If they are mostly brown, warm red, or very pale, they will look excellent on yellow skin. As for dark skin, try rose, magenta, and shades of purple. Tanned skin is flattered most by a variety of true pinks. If you have very light skin, try pinks, orange/red shades, and light purples.
- Eye Shadow: Eye shadows are often more about colour choice than color matching. If you have warm skin, experiment with different tones of bronze, cream, light brown, red/pink, soft green, and coral. For cool skin, white, silver, pale blue, purple, dark green, and gray are good choices.
Stress can be tackled with perfume too. And do remember that while weddings are a social occasion, it is ultimately about you, him and your life. Perfumes are great aphrodisiacs.
- Wear your favorite perfume: Though floral romantics are a safe choice, by all means wear a sporty fragrance if he thinks it's irresistible!
- If you're determined to wear something new, be sure to start experimenting the perfume at least a month before the wedding.
- Apply the same fragrance in all its forms and layer it—starting with the bath and ending with your perfume application to the pulse points.
- For an especially dreamy effect, apply fragrance to the palms of your hands. This way, you'll leave a lingering scent every time you touch him.
- Arrange your entourage's scents to complement each other—and you—for perfect harmony. Their scent should be in the same fragrance family as yours.
- Remember to keep mints handy.
Shilpa Shetty at her SangeetFinding the Right Make-up Artist
A prelude to the right make up is the right makeup artist, make sure you pick with care. Here are some basic moves to help pick one:
- Experience: Experimenting with an amateur isn't a great idea at a wedding. Instead, ensure the artist you choose is qualified to do the job. Ask each artist for references and call those brides to ask them about their experience. Also take a look at each artist's portfolio to make sure you like his or her work.
- Availability: Ask for the artist's availability and if they plan on booking another wedding before or after yours. Also ask what the cost would be for the artist to stay with you the entire day, if you want to ensure you are covered.
- Type of make up: Check out the latest in make-up technology. Ensure the make up artists you are working with are well versed in the kind of make up you want. Be sure to ask the artist what they recommend for your face and think about what suites your style.
- Trial: Ask the make up artist for a trial before your big day. And carry your wedding dress with you to give him an idea of the colors he or she would need to use.
Shilpa Shetty at her Mehendi ceremonyHere is a common sense guide to bridal make-up.
- Use waterproof eye makeup: Even if you don't think you're the crying type, hot and sweaty weddings can make your perfectly made-up face look wilted. With so many waterproof products out there, why take a chance?
- Use a lip stain. Apply the color once at the beginning of the day, and moisturizer a couple of times to keep lips luscious and picture-perfect.
- Employ a 'spot checker': This could be a friend, or your mum. Ask them to keep an eye on you and let you know if you need a touch-up.
- Stash backups: Find out the bathrooms or changing facility at the venue, and stash an emergency kit including powder, a hairbrush, hairspray, lipstick, and a sewing kit, along with anything else you may need.
- Do a test run: Make sure you test out your beauty products—you wouldn't want to find out the morning of your wedding that you're allergic to your lipstick!
Sonam Kapoor's L'oreal Shots
Sonam looks awful in the first photograph. Her eyes have BAGS under them. Her make-up looks oily and uneven as well. Awful, just plain awful. I did not expect this from the L'oreal team, especially since renowned photographer Chou Chiang took these pictures. Though, I have to admit she looks stunning in the second picture.
What's your take on the pictures?
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.
S/S 2010 Make-up Trends: Manish Arora
There's a description from M.A.C Artist, Kabuki of what kind of look Manish Arora had in mind for this gorgeous collection. Once again, the man outdid himself once again.
Quotes from magazines and newspapers on the show:
"Arora's models wore sparkling masks applied to their foreheads, in shapes reminiscent of the bobbed wigs that are the hallmark of Crazy Horse dancers." Newsday
"As he spoke, in the heat and gloom of the grungy backstage area of the Crazy Horse, a Spanish makeup artist applied pearl powder to the forehead of the Russian model Sasha Pivovarova and a dresser helped the Canadian model Kate Somers into some vertiginous shoes and Mr. Kabuki explained to a French journalist that his intention in creating the look of Mr. Arora’s show was to extract the disco essence of dance divas like Precious Wilson and fuse it to the commercial needs of MAC cosmetics, a big sponsor of many Paris shows, to arrive at something he termed a 'contemporary alien' from Planet Model." New York Times
