Make-up Trend: Bronzy Sunkissed Skin

She is the quintessential glamour girl," says make up artist Subhash Vagal who gave Katrina a sun-kissed glow for the Filmfare Awards. "When I spoke to her before the Filmfares, we decided to create a look that exuded modern glamour. She had just gotten back from New York, had a whole new look that included bangs."

He brushed Chanel Vitalumiere foundation for a dewy and nude look. To add radiance to her bone structure, he dabbed Chanel Sheer Brilliance in Sunkissed, a shimmery tan liquid, onto the very top of the cheekbones and finished with a dusting of Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzer in Désert Corail.

Gucci Westman, who did the makeup on behalf of Revlon, kept the models looking airy but strong. “I’m slightly lightening their skin with a lighter foundation and darkening the brows,” said Westman, who created matte cheeks and lips and strengthened brows with ColorStay Brow Enhancer. “There is a strength in the clothes, so we wanted the girls not to look so soft, but still ethereal.” Westman also used a violet lipstick she created especially for fashion week on cheeks for a delicate glow.

Lakshmi Menon in Fall 2009's Make-up Trends [Lacoste]

It was all about the eyelashes at the Lacoste show Saturday morning, where makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift used her namesake color cosmetics collection to create a "full" but not-too-glamorous look to the eyes.

"It's on the raw side," she said. "There's coverage, but it's not over the top."

Faces were "beautiful and glowing," she added, and on the inside the lips, she applied a stain to give depth to the mouth. "It has a Sixties feel. The clothes are a little ŒAnnie Hall,'" Swift continued, "so we wanted to do that but with a little more impact on the eye. This one we're really going for!"
