Make-up Trend: Grungy Smoky Eyes


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.

When Bad Make-up Happens To Good People

Isn't it a coincidence that both Aishwarya and Sonam are L'oreal ambasadresses and both had a WTH moment recently. Sonam, at the launch of the latest issue of Filmfare and Aishwarya on the sets of Robot. Sonam's under eye concealer is cakey, and in an unflattering shade which makes her face look ashy and two-toned. On the other hand, Aishwarya looks awful with those stark lines of brush on her cheeks. I love the smokey eyes, but the 80's harsh and unflattering pink blush has to go!

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: Midnight Blue Eye Shadow

Looking every bit regal in her Gucci dress, makeup artist Mickey Contractor took inspiration from it for Sonam's gorgeous midnight blue smoky eyes. He rimmed her eyes with black liner, then topped it with a blend of smoky blue and gray shadow. A few swipes of rich, thickening mascara finished her look. For her lips, he added a pop of peachy coral lipstick and topped her cheeks off with some peach blush. She looks stunning!

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: Shimmery Eyes and Bold Lips

On the latest cover of Grazia, Sonam Kapoor showed off some shimmery silver eyes and bold brows and lips. To get her look, apply silver powder shadow along the upper and lower lash lines. Blend color over the entire eyelid, diffusing it into the crease and the outer corners to create metallic smoky eyes, apply a thin line of black eye liner on your top lid only. Curl lashes; apply 1-2 coats of mascara. Fill in your brows with a shade darker than you usually do, and make sure every hair is in place by apply brow powder in uplifiting strokes. Prep your lips with a moisturizing balm to keep color from bleeding. Working out from the center of the mouth, use a lip brush to apply creamy, tomato red lipstick.

Make-up Trend: Shimmery Slate Eye Shadow

For her latest photoshoot with ace photographer Daboo Ratnani, Sonam Kapoor dazzled us. Glittery eye shadow may give off a childish vibe, but not in a muted slate shade. When keeping the application incredibly neat and controlled it looks sophisticated and classy. Instead of sweeping sparkly formulas along your entire lid, fill only the section just below your crease.

Make-up Trend: Pastel-Blue Shadow

Always wanted to experiment with blue shadow, but felt like it was a little intimidating? Sonam Kapoor rocks blue shadow like no other at the Kala Ghoda Festival. The key to this look is to play with a sapphire shade and keep the shadow on the lid. While using blues, apply a smoky gray to the crease to keep the look slightly smoky. It's less severe, universally flattering, and equally as sophisticated.

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

Shilpa Shetty
"However lousy I’m feeling, getting my hair done makes all the difference. A good blow dry and my confidence is back. And if there’s time after that for a little retail therapy, of course, then it’s perfect!"

Sonam Kapoor
"I think a good complexion can hide many sins! So good skin, maintained with good quality products, works for me every time!"

Katrina Kaif
"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!"

Amrita Rao
"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."

Malaika Arora Khan
"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."

Riya Sen
"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!"

Deepika Padukone
"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."

Bipasha Basu
"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!"

Celina Jaitley
"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

Sonam Kapoor in smoky eyes and black nails

Once believed to be the exclusive domain of goth or rock lovers, black has become one of the hottest beauty trends these days. From smoldering kohl-rimmed eyes to sultry black nails or even sheer black gloss on the lips for the more adventurous, this hue can look deliciously edgy. “Black is a classic, very similar to red in many ways. It requires a certain level of daring to be worn well. The hard-rock image of men in black lipstick and nails might have dissuaded women from experimenting with this look but all that is changing. If used well, black can be playful or classic and can easily be worn at all ages. Younger users can be bolder while others could try creating sophistication with black, using the hue in moderation and blending with other shades,” says Deepa Bhatia, product manager, LancĂ´me India.

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.
