Make-up Trend: Airbrushed Foundation

Want to look airbrushed in person? Dot lightweight tinted moisturizer on face and neck. (Use the shade you are, not a hue you want to be. You'll add color back later with blush and bronzer.) Spread evenly over face and neck with a sponge wedge until formula vanishes completely into skin.

Apply concealer after foundation. You'll need less and won't risk rubbing it off with the wedge.

Five Favorite Bollywood Make-up Artists

Aniruddha Chakladar
His signature look
Kohl eyes and nude lips. Aniruddha always exaggerates the eyes with a whole lot of kohl, not just with sweeps of eye shadow.

Abhijit Chanda
His signature look
The mantra being “less is more”, his signature look is also very understated and subtle. “I am not one for a cakey look. Just kajal with mascara and a hint of blush with some lip gloss.”


Anita Sadhukhan
Her signature look
She sticks to a very natural base, an almost nude skin tone. “For a studio shoot I like pale lips but a bridal get-up always calls for brighter lips.”


Moushmi Chatterjee
Her signature look
Is very flexible. “Though I am all for a natural look, sometimes a designer’s shoot requires me to go with the chosen theme. At times like these, the natural look just doesn’t work.”


Nabin Das
His signature look
Bright eyes with a dash of glitter. He also specializes in “contouring to pronounce the jaw line”. He also believes that very pale lips look too dull and so favors a slight pink or peach glossy mouth.
