Make-up Trend: Sheer Foundation

This is the season to keep foundation fresh and light, like Mandira Bedi did. Instead of layering on full-coverage foundation, opt for tinted moisturizer. It will even out the color and texture of your face, while still showing off natural characteristics like freckles.

Create your own sheer summertime foundation. Moisten a makeup sponge until it expands, then squeeze out 95 percent of the moisture. Mix foundation and SPF face lotion on the back of your hand and lightly tap it into your skin with the sponge.

LFW Part 3: Make-up Artists Tell Us How To Achieve Runway Looks

Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna

"A strong look" is how stylist Yatan described the effect Rohit Gandhi and Rahul Khanna desired. To him, the new glamour translated into smoky eyes and crimson lips. Here's how you can copy the look:

• Skip the mascara and define lashes with a curler. Yatan loves Shu Uemura's Eyelash Curler
  
  
• Dab your lips with foundation (Shu Uemura Face Architect Foundation) before you apply several coats of crimson lipstick (Shu Uemura Rouge Unlimited Lipstick in 276). Add a layer of translucent powder (Shu Uemura Sheer Face Powder) between coats to make the lipstick's satin formula darker and more matte.
  
  
• Finish off by contouring your cheeks with Shu Uemura Warm Sun Bronzing Powder.
  

Make-up Trend: Faded Eye Liner

"Subtle drama" is the new rage in the beauty world. As Aishwarya showed at a recent photoshoot, blending out the edge of a severe cat eye produces a subtle-yet-sexy effect.

Using a creamy eye pencil, draw along your upper lashlines and blend the outer edge of the line a quarter-inch in an upward diagonal direction. Retrace along your lashline to create a more defined line.
