Genelia D'Souza's Speaks to Vogue India Beauty

Genelia's beauty must-haves: Use a good moisturizer for a cleaner, fresher look and some tinted blush on cheeks to add an instant pop of color to the face.
Day and night looks: I like my day look to be as simple as possible; fresh skin, some kajal, a light blush, mascara and sun block. Bright eyes are a must for a night out. I love experimenting with different colored eye shadows: sky blue and aquamarine to name a few, and hues of purple for eyeliners. They work amazingly in accentuating my eyes.
Date-night look: Sun-kissed skin, nude or pink lips and bright eyes.
Spa fix: A protein treatment and hair spa from Kroma Kay is an absolute must.
Hair Tips: You should condition your hair before a blow-dry and it is vital to get all the conditioner washed off your hair. I don't like to use a lot of product on my hair and set it in a particular way while blow-drying; I usually just ease it out a bit, I like my hair shiny and full of volume.

Make-up Trend: Orange-Red Lips

On the latest issue of Jade, Asin shows us an updated version of the classic bold lip by choosing a shade with a great dose of orange. A matte orange-red lip can be achieved with a soft lip brush. You can prevent the color from looking clownish by applying a dab of lipstick or gloss to the center of your lips, then blending outwards with your fingers.

Make-up Trend: Olive Smoky Eyes

Kangna's gorgeous dress was the inspiration behind her olive-toned smoky eyes on this month's issue of Cineblitz. To get her look, rim your lids with a thick black pencil, then blend olive shadow on the outer corners of your top and bottom lashes. Finish the look off with a strip of false lashes: It gives the entire look more drama.
