Make-up Trend: Eggplant Nail Polish

Before you break out the holiday red nail polish you'll be wearing all season, take a cue from Rachel Roy at the Accessories Council ACE Awards in New York City and test drive a suitable transitional shade: deep, shiny purple. This hue tends to darken when dry, so select a color that's a little brighter and more magenta in the bottle. And as always, keep your nails short and rounded to avoid looking too goth.

Make-up Trend: Smudgy Smoky Shadow

On the latest issue of Vogue India, Priyanka rocks a smudgy smoky eye with nude barely there lips. To get her look, lightly sweep charcoal gray eye shadow on your lids, extending and darkening it just above the crease. Then draw it along your lower lash line, softening any harsh lines with your fingers. With your fingers, apply silver eye shadow under your brows for a subtle highlight. Using an angled brush to trace black eye liner on the top and bottom lashes, thickening the line just a bit at the outer corners. Finish off with 3-4 coats of mascara and you're all set.
