Make-up Trend: Apricot Blush

Reaching for an orangey blush compact can seem like a risky move, but as Sonam Kapoor showed us on the latest issue of Cosmo India, it's a gamble that can have gorgeous results. Choose a peachy-bronze formula without shimmer and swirl it on the highest parts of your cheeks. It will warm up your complexion with a sun-kissed, natural flush.

Make-up Trend: Two Toned Eye Shadow

At a screening of Miral in the Hamptons, Freida Pinto topped off her flirty low bun with pretty, two-toned shadow. It's okay to use two very different shades of eye shadow as long as both are muted. In Pinto's case, a wash of sheer mauve highlighted her brow bones, while a silvery blue accented her lids. The effect is unexpectedly elegant.

Make-up Trend: Bright Red Lips

On the latest issue of "People India: India's Best Dressed ", Twinkle Khanna dressed up in a shimmery champagne ensemble channeling old Hollywood glamour with bright red lipstick. When wearing such a snappy shade, choose a cream formula, which is loaded with emollients and pigment, but is less shiny than gloss.
