At a special screening for I Hate Luv Storys, Sonam Kapoor sported some grungy smoky eyes. To get her look, blend a matte black and a shimmery gray eye shadow over your lids with a small eye-shadow brush, starting at your lashes and moving just beyond the crease. With the brush, line your lower lashes with the same color combination. Starting at the inner corner of your eye, trace a line of black eye liner along your upper lashes. Leave the lashes bare. Finish off with a pale pink lipstick.

All in all, both of these ladies are stunning, and do not need that much make-up be it in events or movies.

Make-up Trend: Pastel Pink Glossy Lips

Sonam Kapoor's glossy pink lips were subtle and statement-making all at once, also they looked amazing against that teal Diane Von Furstenberg dress she wore. If a bold pink hue feels too childish, go for a greyish, dusty shade like the one Sonam chose. The result? All the fun of bubblegum pink without feeling like a teenybopper.

Make-up Trend: Forest Green Eyes
In the pages of Filmfare's latest issue Sonam Kapoor went green-- with her eyes. Rather than blending a metallic forest green hue across your entire lid, keep it below the crease, then brush a shimmery chestnut shadow just above for a slightly sculpted effect. (The brown accent also prevents green shadow from looking garish.) To finish off the look add a pop of pink on the lips and cheeks, to balance the eyes.

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?
Cosmo's Celeb Beauty Tricks for that Perfect Pick-Me-Up
"I think a good complexion can hide many sins! So good skin, maintained with good quality products, works for me every time!"
"I’m a very no makeup person off camera, so on days I feel dull, I just up my intake of water, fresh fruits and generally try and detoxify. What you put in is what you get!"
"Smoky eyes perk me up, even on my most down and off days. The rest of the face is just nude lips and a blush."
"I’m a spa girl. A relaxing massage, hot oil treatment, aromatherapy, body scrub, I could just go on and on! Leave me at a spa and watch all my blues evaporate away."
"False eyelashes! Sounds strange but they make me face the work a little more confidently on days I’m low or feeling down. And some perfume goes a long way, too!"
"It’s awful for us to have bad-mirror days because it carries forward the next day, when we see horrid pictures of us in the paper. So if I’m not looking or feeling my best, I simply give some TLC to my skin. Maybe a mask, a facial or even a body wrap if there’s time. If my skin glows, I’m good to go."
"If my skin feels dull, or I’m feeling low, I hit the gym or do anything that’s physically strenuous. Exercise equals endorphins and these feel-good hormones look good on your face. Top it off with a little gloss and you’re back to glowing!"
"On days I’m not looking good, I just pile on kohl to make my eyes stand out, moisturize intensely and head out. No more makeup for me!"

Make-up Trend: Pink Cheeks
For a gorgeous flush like Sonam Kapoor, use a sheer cheek stain. Sweep two strokes over the apples of each cheek and gently blend into the skin with two fingers using a circular motion, with the warmth of your fingers, the stain blends well and will stay on longer. Apply the same cheek stain on the lips, and finish off with some tinted lip balm and you're all set.

The Latest Trend: Black Eyes, Lips, Nails
When using black, the most important thing is to focus on one feature at a time and not overdo it to avoid looking garish. “Also, you can only carry off as much black as your personality allows”, believes Cory Walia. Finally, this shade is best left for the evening. As Charmaine Rao, make-up artist for Yves Saint Laurent puts it “black is glamorous after the sun sets.”
- Nailing It
“If you’re using black on your nails, make sure your nails are cut properly. Worn on nails that are too long, it could look tacky. Too short nails could end up looking messy. So ensure that your nails are clean and neat,” says Xavier Bertrand, Chanel retail manager. Finally, top black nail polish with a transparent top coat makes the nails look glossy and finished, advises Charmaine Rao. - Lip Service
“Not very wearable, this trend is more suited for fashion make-up but if you’re daring enough to try it, wear nude lipstick with black gloss. Alternatively, you can use dark plum shades that look more subtle,” suggests Meeta Awatramani, training manager, Clarins India. “If you’re wearing black on lips, eyes and nails should be neutral. Use pinkish-beige shades on eyes with neutral colors and a French manicure on nails. Hair tied back in a chignon with a classic cocktail dress works well,” says Charmaine Rao. - Eye Do
The smoky eyes look is classic and eternally in fashion. Start with less, then intensify color gradually. Under-eye circles must be concealed perfectly first. Finish off the look with mascara to open up the eyes and intensify the effect. Awatramani’s pick is Clarins Instant Light Eye Perfecting Base. When using black on the eyes, always create a barrier of loose powder under the eyes to avoid spillage of color from ruining your foundation. Subtle and smooth shading with metallics—gold and silver—layered over the black looks ultra glam, Cory Walia says.

Make-up Trend: Full Pouty Lips
If you want lips that scream to be smooched, take a cue from Sonam Kapoor who accentuated her cupid's bow with subtle lip liner. For added oomph and sexiness, draw light to the peaks of your cupid's bow using a shimmery white pencil, like Lancome Le Crayon Khol in Blanc.
