Make-up Trend: Thick and Groomed Brows

Anyone born with naturally heavy, thick eyebrows can wear bold brows like Kajol's. The key is to ensure the brows are well groomed, not so heavy and that they visually push the brows down. As you can see on Kajol, her brows are full, but groomed and nicely arched so that they visually lift her eyes.

For a dramatic brow that stands out, apply moisturizing concealer all around the brows. This highlights the brow and makes it stand out more.

Make-up Trend: Buff-it-Yourself Natural Nails

Give your nails a break from dark/chipped polish by buffing them into a high-shine finish. Sonam Kapoor shows that au naturel can be just as alluring as any flashy color.

Easy does it! Instead of using a standard emery board, which can wear down the surface of the nail, use a buffing block to gently stoke the top of nails until they have a mirror-like shine.

Make-up Trend: Classic Cat Eyes

Kareena Kapoor’s makeup artist, Mickey Contractor, says she takes a cue from the her gorgeous Christian Dior dress. “For the Hi! Blitz photo shoot she wore three different dresses, so I needed makeup that would complement all three,” says Mickey, who decided a classic cat liner that was slightly exaggerated would be the best route.

“I used M.A.C Smolder Eye Kohl, followed by M.A.C Liquidlast in Pointblack,” says Mickey. He used Gorgeous Gold Eye Shadow on lid and just a little Patina in crease. He finished with M.A.C Slimshine in Ultra-Elegant on the lips.
