Make-up Trend: Teal Eyes

Bollywood's all about the teal-blue trend when it comes to clothes and now eyeshadow! But Deepika brought it to an entirely new—and literal—level in the new movie Billo Barber. She gave smoky eyes a twist by combining shades of teal and blue on her lids for a sultry, metallic look.

To prevent your shadow from fading or creasing, prime your lids with a colored base, like in this case we used M.A.C Delft Paint Pot.

Make-up Trend: Volumized, Luscious Lashes

This is what makeup artist Aniruddha Chakladar calls the combination of a strong, defined brow, individual lashes and berry stain on the lips “super striking” on Deepika Padukone.

To create the thick-lash look, he used “as many short individual lashes as possible on both the top and bottom lash lines. I then applied a very fine line of eyeliner and many coats of mascara.”

Nicole Scherzinger's Bollywood Breakdown by Shalini Vadhera for Global Goddess Cosmetics


To start off with a good base to the skin, apply Upgrade Complexion Face Primer. To get perfect skin, apply Complexion Perfection Duo Foundation/Concealer in 2.5 (That's Nicole's color) To get that golden glow apply a sweep of South Pacific Shimmer on your cheekbones and across your lids. To get those smoky eyes use the BoHo Exotic Eyes Kit. Apply Maharani Rose/Rajah Brown Shimmer Shadow from the lid to crease and line the eyes with I-Define India Ink Eye Pencil. Smudge the entire eye for added drama. Apply Flutter Eyelashes from the BoHo Exotic Eyes Kit, and then add a dark line of Cairo Eyes Liquid Liner in Cleo Black for extra sultry eyes. Layer this over your pencil. Pout those sexy lips with the Moroccan Mystique Lip Veil in Mirage. Keep it light and sexy. Use Coconut Amla Oil on your body for a sexy glow.
