Make-up Trend: Nude, Mauve-y Lips

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan looked flawless in red lips that she was seen sporting on the Longines Swiss Watch Launch runway, but at a party celebrating the launch of Longines Primaluna Collection, she went with a more natural look that included nude, mauve-y lips. For a similar effect, choose a chubby lip pencil in a shade that closely matches the actual color of your lips, then top it with a lip gloss in the same shade. It's perfect for the daytime—and even better at night.

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.
