Make-up Trend: Violet Eyes

Celina Jaitley electrified the runway with her bright purple eye makeup. Instead of going for a full-blown smoky eye, the actress toned it down by accentuating just the lids of her eyes.

Keeping makeup light near the inner-eye area brightens your face. Line eyes with a shimmery lavender pencil. Then use a thin eye shadow brush to dab deep violet shadow along the outer half of your upper lid (upper and lower), focusing powder on your outter v, and then flick it for a cat-eye like effect

Make-up Trend: Enhanced Cupid's Bow

Nothing says "Kiss me!" like a pair of full lips. When you have a perfectly accented cupid's bow, your sizzling pucker does the flirting for you. So enhance your lips, like Katrina Kaif did.

Use a flesh-toned lip pencil, draw a "V" in the dip of your upper lip, then rim the rest of your lip line. Next, highlight the inside of the "V" using a brightening pencil. Apply gloss and prepare to kiss and tell.

Make-up Trend: Contoured Features

You don't need to be a sculptor to chisel your features. Adding a few subtle shadows in the right places gives you angles that make your bone structure look elegant and defined.

Stroke a face powder two shades darker than your skintone along the sides of the bridge of the nose (from below the eyes to the tip) using an eye shadow brush.
