Make-up Trend: Straight Eyeliner

A fully-rimmed eye adds major ooo-la-la drama for a night out. And while we love liquid eyeliner, it can be frustrating to draw a line as straight as Yukta Mookhey's.

Stay in line! Start by rimming eyes with liner and don't worry if it isn’t perfectly straight. Then lightly dip a Q-tip in eye makeup remover and gently smooth it along the top of the liquid liner line to create a clean edge. Apply shadow after this step so you don't wipe it away.

S/S 2009 Make-up Trends: Deepika Gehani

To compliment the resort feel of Deepika Gehani's collection, make-up artist Cory Walia worked a natural look with one strong element of color. He describes the look and feel as happy, happy eyes, happy cheeks, happy skin glowing in natural tones suggesting a hint of peach and pink."

To begin the look on the models, Cory Walia began by prepping skin with a facial cleanser (Philosophy Purity Made Simple High Foaming Daily Cleanser) and non-astringent toner (Ole Henriksen Pick Me Up Face Tonic) that cleans the complexion without stripping away natural oils. He follows that up with a lightweight moisturizer (Philosophy Hope In A Jar) that leaves skin soft, not slick, and tops with a liquid foundation (Make Up Forever HD Invisible Cover Foundation) that delivers a semi-matte sheen.

"There is just one element of color on the face – a block of metallic eyeliner in emerald green (Yves Saint Laurent Liquid Eyeliner in Emerald Reflections), drawn across the eyelid," he deconstructs the young, quirky look. Moving on to the lips, he dabs them with foundation to drain any natural color, then applies a coat of peach gloss (Stila Lip Glaze in Peach).

Aniruddha Chakladar Talks Diwali Make-up Trends

“The key is to look casual and the make-up should complement that,” feels make-up artist Aniruddha Chakladar. Diwali is early this year, and therefore more humid, he cautions. “So keep the base to a minimum. Use some eyeshadow, coordinating the colors with your outfit. Blend in a bit of neutral black and brown. Use black kohl on the upper lid. No kohl for the lower lid, just a touch of silver or gold or white, unless your eyes are very big. Finish off with black mascara,” he explains. “Add a touch of blush in neutral shades like peach, unless you are dark, in which case stick to browns. Finish with a dash of fresh gloss in a toned-down shade.” adds Aniruddha.
