Shimmer and Shine like Sonakshi

Bollywood’s latest it girl, Sonakshi Sinha is literally all over the town. From debuting with none other than Salman Khan to walking the ramps for big designers and making TV appearances, the lady is clearly on a roll. Known for her beautiful, long tresses and her subtle smoky peepers, she clearly knows her make-up well. Here’s how to get understated dramatic eyes, dewy cheeks and a pretty pout, Sonakshi style.

Start with a light base, blending a few drops of foundation (Estee Lauder Nutritious Vita-Mineral Makeup, Rs. 1500) with your regular moisturiser for a natural finish. Use a creamy concealer to cover any dark circles and even out the eye area (Bobbi Brown Cream Concealer, Rs. 950). Subtle kohl-rimmed eyes is ‘the’ look that Sonakshi sports here, so sweep a natural eye shadow across the eye lids and keep it simple. With a precision eye liner (Christian Dior Intense Liquid Eyeliner, Rs. 1400) draw a line close to your upper lash line. Using the precision tip of the liner extend the eye liner downwards from the inner corner of your eyes (as shown). A single coat of intense black mascara (Dior Show Extase, Rs 1240 Or Lancôme Definicils Precious Cells Mascara, Rs. 1280) adds just the right amount of drama. Use a creamy kohl pencil (Lancôme Le Crayon Khol in Noir, Rs. 1085) and line your waterlines.

To achieve a rosy, luminous complexion Vogue recommends using a blush and a lipstick in the shades of peach and pink. Vogue recommends Guerlain Blush Éclat in Cherry Blossom (Rs. 2170) and YSL Rouge Volupté in in Fetish Pink (Rs. 1500).
