Aishwarya’s Floral Dress and Amazing Makeup at Cannes 2013

Aishwarya’s Floral Dress, Armani Gown and Amazing Makeup at Cannes 2013

First let me clarify, no it was not both together :p Well, of course not..

She came in a floral embroidery Abu Jani- Sandeep Khosla gown for the Blood Ties Premiere..paired with a blush colored clutch..is’nt that plain and too blah ?! The dress could have been better if it was not soo heavy..makeup wise same smokey eyes and nude lips..

By the way, if you like her smokey eyes and nude lips..here is the makeup breakdown..L’oreal Paris True Match Foundation, Volume Million Lashes Mascara, Superliner Black Lacquer, True Match Blush in Grapefruit, Color Riche Eyeshadow Palette Velours Noir and Color Riche Matte Mania Lipstick in Silky Toffee..

She definitely came up with better makeup later..for her L’oreal Paris interview..in a black suit with lace detailing on the collar and sleeves and structured pants..she looks chic..and that bold red lips and nails floored us, did’nt it? 😉

For the Cleopatra premiere, she chose a teal Armani Privé gown…paired with fluttery lashes and hot pink lips…I loved the teal color…but not the structure..and the hot pink lips..but whats with that high straight bun ?! A lower bun could have looked so classy and good..

I loved that white shirt and black fishtail skirt she wore the first day..so chic..

Though her looks were hits and misses..but this time fortunately more hits than misses 😉

What do you think ? On the other hand, why on earth is Vidya daily dressed up like an Indian maharani 😀

P.S: I do not own any images.

For the 100 years of Indian cinema Gala, she chose a black and gold baroque Sabyasachi couture lehenga-sari…works for her..she looks pretty..I liked that gold hear gear thingie too..

Sonam Kapoor at Cannes 2013

Sonam Kapoor at Cannes 2013

Ok…I know a lot has been written about Sonam already..here I have combined all her outfits at Cannes 2013.

Sonam and Freida are L’oreal Paris Ambassadors and represent L’oreal Paris at Cannes every year..

In a cropped top and Anamika Khanna jacket when she was getting ready..I loved the jacket..and the fresh makeup and soft curls..

On the first day, she wore a Huemn gown and mom Sunita K’s signature jewellery line’s earrings..styling by sister Rhea Kapoor..fashion runs in the family :p

Yesterday she wore a custom Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda Couture gown…its ethereal…so princessy..classic..paired with a necklace from her mom Sunita K’s line..I loveee it..

At the Opening Gala dinner she chose an Elie Saab couture pink lace and beaded full skirted dress with pink Saab ankle strap pumps and a pink jeweled clutch..matched to her pink lips..too much pink going on here..though I like the dress..I feel she could have broke the monotonous pink somewhere..

At The Great Gatsby screening, she wore Anamika Khanna Couture white lace sari with a long embroidered baroque jacket and completed the look with a huge nath from her mom’s line..I love the sari and the jacket..though not a fan of the nath somehow..I know people have loved it..maybe its just me..but actually I cannot imagine it on anyone else 😀 She is carrying it well rather than anyone else..whats your take on the nath ?

Makeup wise she stole the show..retro winged liner and deep merlot red lips and lot of shimmer..the shimmer on the forehead and face could have been lesser..but I loved the eyes and lips..

Today she wore a black lace Shehla Khan gown and Chopard Jewellery…the necklace is pretty..but the lehenga is kinda ok..not too much a fan..though I like the black and lace combo..does not work on this lehenga..

Which look did you like the most ? I feel she looks good in most of her appearances..what do you think ?

Pooja Chopra in Commando

Pooja Chopra in Commando

I saw Commando yesterday..loved Vidyut Jamval’s stunts..he is amazing ! No words..

I loved Pooja Chopra’s girl next door kinda pretty look..she looks sweet..

She wore casuals throughout the movie except for songs..printed dresses, checkered shirts with denims, grey tank with orange cardigan and denim shorts..and one-two suits..

Her face was done well with a good coverage foundation and since her face is a little chubby, it was contoured..blush was not used in most of the scenes..I guess the focus was contouring..

Eyes were done amazingly well..smokey eyes with matte browns and taupes..and both upper and lower lashline were lined with lots of kohl..eyes were totally the centre of attraction..

She used deep mauve pink like Colorbar Velvet Matte Naked Pink or Inglot AMC Collection Matte Lip Pencil 23 throughout the movie..and nude brown in few scenes..except for the song ‘Loot Jawaan’ at the end where she used a shimmery pink eyeshadow and pink lipstick..(I did not like that combo :/)

Hair were sleek and straight throughout the movie..

Overall quite a nice wearable look..

Did you watch Commando ? Liked Pooja’s makeup ?

Sonakshi Sinha in Dabangg 2

I saw Dabangg 2 few days back..Ok I am a big time Salman fan..like big time..and from yearss..though I did not like Dabanng 1 much..but 2 was super fun..full paisa vasool entertainment..and more so for Salman fans..

I liked Sonakshi’s look in the movie..

She wore sheer colorful saris, shaded saris and some with a light border in pink, yellow, blue, green mostly with three fourth sleeved backless blouses..the blouses were quite interesting though..embroidered, polka dots with a border, printed and colorful like this one below..in fact many of her saris are available online..let me know in the comments below if you want to know the link..

She has a braid with gajra in most part of the movie except 1-2 songs..coming to her makeup..

She has a flawless base with a good coverage foundation, kohled eyes, full brows, neutral eyeshadows like taupes and browns and well defined and lined eyes.

Dirty pink brown blushes used lightly..like MAC Mocha maybe..

For lips she has matte nude pinks, pinky browns like Lakme Lip Love Aphrodite Blush, Colorbar Naked Pink, Inglot AMC Matte Lip Pencil 23, MAC Cosmo, MAC Double Shot, etc..

I like the overall neutral and matte look..no bright colors, no shimmers..she has this perfect quintessential bahu look..

11 Best Makeup Secrets Revealed

11 Best Makeup Secrets Revealed

Want to look like you just stepped out of a beauty salon — every day? Uncover the industry’s ten best makeup secrets (plus one bonus tip)

Red Carpet Secrets

Makeup artists have a few tricks up their sleeves when it comes to creating beautiful looks for women. For Vincent Longo, makeup artist and creative director of Vincent Longo Cosmetics, his best-kept secret comes from the red carpet. “When doing makeup for celebrities before big events, I always make sure to stain the cheeks and lips before applying the foundation,” he says. “So if their makeup wears off during the night, the stained cheeks and lips will continue to glow from underneath.” It’s a foolproof beauty back-up plan! Ten more makeup artist secrets, revealed.

A Fresh Face

Resist the urge to powder your face every time you refresh your makeup — the result will look cakey. Instead, use blotting papers to keep makeup intact as you remove excess moisture.

Choosing a Concealer

Follow this rule of thumb when picking the right concealer for your skin’s undertones: If your skin tends to be ruddy (reddish), use a green color corrective stick; if you have a sallow (yellow) complexion, look for a concealer in shades of lilac or pink. Olive or darker skin tones need a peachy or apricot concealer.

A Natural Flush

Cream blushes and cheek stains will give your face a rosy glow that looks natural. Use your fingertips to blend the product into the apples of your cheeks in a circular motion. Note that peaches and golden hues look beautiful on fairer complexions; coral shades look best on medium skin tones; and mauves and burgundies are most flattering on darker complexions.

Defined Cheekbones

Use this simple contouring trick: After applying blush or bronzer to your face, lightly swipe a highlighting powder (a frosted off-white eye shadow will work!) on your cheekbones just above and below the color you’ve applied. This creates an instant face-flattering effect!

Being a Bronzed Beauty

Fake a bake by sweeping golden brown bronzing powder along your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. A powder with light-reflective pigment will give an “airbrushed” glow. Just be careful not to go too dark for your natural skin tone.

Subtle, Sexy Eyes

Smoky eyes aren’t for everyone. If you’re fair skinned, the look can be too much. Instead, opt for nude eye shadow (flattering on everyone!) or a pale gold on lids and gray, not black, eyeliner.

Perfectly Lined Lids

Unsteady hands can make it a challenge to apply liquid eyeliner. To ensure a smooth line, apply your eyeliner by painting little dots along your lash line, as close to the lashes as possible, then connect the dots. Easy!

Long, Lush Lashes

The key to lashes with tons of length and fullness is to use two types of mascara. Start with a lengthening mascara (bristles are close together to better grip lashes and spread the product from base to tip), then follow up with a thickening mascara, which has dense bristles to build volume.

Fabulously Full Lips

For pillowy lips that would rival Angelina’s, you can fake fullness with a nude lip liner. Select a shade that matches your lip tone and draw a line just outside the edges of your natural lip line — but not too far! Smudge the line into your lips and apply a lip gloss or lipstick in a pale pink shade — just a tad lighter than your natural skin. Top with a dab of gloss in the center of both top and bottom lips.

Lip Color With Staying Power

If you want your lip color to last all day, apply lipstick with a lip brush, and then add a coat of translucent powder to set the color. Repeat this once or twice and you can be sure your radiant red lips won’t budge.

I do follow the lip color to stay longer one..And surely going to try the two types of mascara for fuller lashes !

Katrina Kaif in Ek Tha Tiger

Katrina Kaif in Ek Tha Tiger

I saw the movie yesterday..and its actually late..coz I am a big time Salman fan..and I like Katrina too..though the story is blah..I can watch them both..if you are a Salman or Katrina fan, you should watch it once..

Katrina has different looks in the movie..and has dressed according to the locations obviously..when they are in Ireland and she plays a student, she wears lots of T shirts, skirts, dresses with cardigans and jackets and then as an ISI agent, she wears embroidered salwar suits and later in Cuba, she is back to her shorts and dresses..I loved this red cage dress too in the song ‘Main Lapata’

She has kept her hair either tied back to a high pony or kept loose with lots of messy curls.

She has super glossy, shiny lips throughout mostly a baby pink or a bright neonish coral..and a peachy brown blush to compliment or a plummy pink in some..

And soft brown shadow on the eyes or basic brown smokey eyes in a few..

The part wear she plays an ISI agent and wears suits, she has thick rimmed kohl eyes and a nudish gloss to go with..

In the song ‘Mashalla’ she sports smokey eyes and nude lips..you can see brown smokey eyes with lots of kohl smudged on the outer half..and some contouring with a bronzer..

In the end chase scenes, she has a girl next door look with a matte MLBB shade and a no makeup kinda look..

Overall I quite loved her look from the basic styling to clothes to makeup, well she is one girl who actually looks good in everything though..

Did you see the movie ? Did you like Katrina’s look ?

Diana Penty in Cocktail

Diana Penty in Cocktail

I was quite excited to watch Cocktail and saw it on the first day..though the movie is quite ok..you can watch it once just for the styling..amazing work by Anaita Shroff Adajania…hats off

I loved Diana’s styling the most..though Deepika was hot..Diana’s style was more wearable and relatable..she wore cardigans, jackets, polka dots, stripes, checks..from the punjabi Delhi girl entering in salwar kameez, her style evolves better and better throughout the movie..

She had her hair open throughout in almost all the scenes..with the front bangs pinned in some and a side braid in some..

As far as her makeup is concerned, she had an au naturel look..her base was very light and minimal..she does have a good skin..

She has thick kohl on her upper and lower lashline throughout..the kohl is smudged on the upper lashline with some soft brown eye shadow blended in..muted gold in some scenes..and lots of mascara especially on the upper lashes..

And a peachy pink lipstick with a matching blush..and a MLBB shade in few scenes..

P.S: She being a Maybelline Brand Ambassador..says she loves and uses the Maybelline Colossal Kajal and BB Cream..and also likes the Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation.

I love her minimal, effortless, natural look..Do you ?
