Katrina's Day Look

Cory Walia gives Katrina a perfect pout

Blend a suitable shade of M.A.C Select Moistureblend over your skin in upward strokes on the face and neck. Conceal any dark circles or blemishes under the eyes with M.A.C Select Moisturecover to create beautiful flawless skin. For definition, apply blush (M.A.C Powder Blush in Fleurry) on the cheeks. If you want a very soft look, use a pink (M.A.C Powder Blush in Coygirl) or peach blush (M.A.C Powder Blush in Pinch O' Peach). If you have a slightly darker complexion, go for a soft brown blush (M.A.C Powder Blush in Strada). M.A.C Studio Fix is also very handy in humid weather.

Outline the lower eyelid with soft pink (M.A.C Eye Shadow in Swish) or soft brown eye shadow (M.A.C Eye Shadow in Era). On the top lid, apply a light pink mineralize eye shadow (M.A.C Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo in Engaging) for a subtle sparkle. You can then highlight your browbone with the gold side of the same eye shadow duo.

Try a generous coat of pink (M.A.C Tinted Lipglass in Lust) or light brown lip gloss (M.A.C Tinted Lipglass in Revealing) for a glossy pout.

Indrani's Evening Look

Indrani sports a gorgeous plum toned look

Blend a pearlescent liquid foundation (M.A.C Hyper Real) over your skin in upward strokes on the face and neck. You can then conceal any dark circles under the eyes with a concealer (M.A.C Studio Lights in Smoothspice). Highlight the cheekbones with a plum shaded blush (M.A.C Powder Blush in Breezy).
For the eyes, evenly apply M.A.C Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo in Earthly Riches (plum side) on the upper eyelid. For a more defined look, smudge the corners with the gray side, and finish by drawing a thin line with M.A.C Kohl Power Eye Pencil in Black Karat. Sweep a coat of thick lash mascara (M.A.C Plush Lash Mascara) for a more dramatic look. For the lips, apply M.A.C Prep + Prime Lip, then accentuate with M.A.C Lustreglass in Decorative.

Katrina Kaif's Make-up Breakdown by: Prabir De

Step 1
Cleanse (M.A.C Green Gel Cleanser) and moisturize (M.A.C Studio Moisture Fix) your face, and apply a light layer of foundation (M.A.C Mineralize Satinfinish), ensuring the base is around the same tone as your skin. Dab a light powder (M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish Natural) all over your face and neck.

Step 2
When it comes to the eyes, be extra careful to bring out the best. The season's look is striking pastel shades that have a faint glimmer or shine. Apply an adequate amount of dark mauve (M.A.C Eyeshadow in Shale) and silver eye shadow (M.A.C Eyeshadow in Electra) over the upper eyelids. Outline the eyes with a kohl pencil (M.A.C Eye Kohl in Smolder) to provide increased depth. Use gold eye shadow (M.A.C Eyeshadow in Gorgeous Gold) around the corners and give a final effect with an off-white highlighter (M.A.C Eyeshadow in Phloof!). Mascara (M.A.C Mascara in Plush Lash) is a must and be sure to use ample amounts of it.

Step 3
Use a light mauve lipstick or a shade of purple (M.A.C Lipstick in Rebel) that suits your complexion. Finish it off with sheer lavender gloss (M.A.C Lustreglass in Flashmode) to give it a sensuous touch.

Step 4
Apply a beige tone blush (M.A.C Powder Blush in Honour) on the apples of the cheeks.

Beauty Talk With Katrina Kaif

• My biggest beauty fix is exercise — swimming, jogging, and lifting weights — this gives my face and body a boost of blood circulation, that way my skin feels healthier.
  
  
  
  Some of Katrina's beauty indulgences are Anne Semonin's Oil and Shahnaz's Herbal Clinic
  
• 
  
  I kick start my day with three to four glasses of water. I am addicted to Anne Semonin's Balancing Apricot Kernel Oil.
  
  
• My favorite beauty spot is The Shahnaz Husain Herbal Clinic.
  
  
  
  Katrina loves YSL's Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils in black, brown, blue, violet, burgundy, and green. She exclaims, "I have every color they've made."
  
• I like to play up my eyes with different colored mascaras by Yves Saint Laurent.
  
  
  
  She keeps her skin healthy with products by Mene & Moy and Lancôme
  
• A beauty rule that I follow is to always cleanse my face of all make-up, however tired I may be. I use a facial cleanser by Mene & Moy which has 4% glycolic acid and Lancôme's Galatée Confort Cleansing Milk to get rid of all facial impurities.
  
  
  
  She swears by Kérastase and Anne Semonin for her hair and face

• To deal with a beauty emergency I rely on a mineral mud mask by Anne Semonin. It calms my skin and gets rid of any surprise zits.
  
  
  
  Katrina loves using products by M.A.C and Laura Mercier to make her look pretty
  
• My look for the coming season is traditional with more emphasis on my eyes with different colored M.A.C Technakohl Liners, (my favorties include: Graphblack, Brownborder, Purple Dash, Auto-de-blu, and Jadeway) and keeping my cheeks and lips neutral with Laura Mercier Bronzing Powder and M.A.C Tinted Lipglass in Underage.

• My bedside table essentials include Clarins Gentle Night Cream, and Smith's Rosebud Salve to keep my skin and lips hydrated and moisturized
  

Wedding Trend Make-up Breakdown: Vintage-Glam Bride

This breakdown is done by make-up artist: Reshma Sambtani

Skin
The face is cleaned with a cucumber-based cleanser (M.A.C Green Gel Cleanser). Reshma then applies a light-weight moisturizer (M.A.C Studio Moisture Fix). She then applies M.A.C Prep + Prime Skin for an even application of the make-up.

For the foundation, she uses a blend of M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid and M.A.C Mineralize Satinfinish for an even matte/dewy look. M.A.C Studio Finish concealer takes care of dark circles and skin blemishes. This is topped with M.A.C Select/Sheer Loose Powder. M.A.C Fix + is sprayed and dabbed with tissue paper. “This settles the make-up,” explains Reshma. The nose, forehead and cheeks are touched up with M.A.C Mineralize Skinfinish in New Vegas.

Cheeks
Reshma contours the cheeks with M.A.C Sculpting Powder in Shadester to give the perfect sculpted-cheek illusion. M.A.C Powder Blush in Pinch Me is applied on the cheekbones.

The effect: A lot of sheen and certain compliments for a stunning bridal glow!

Eyes
Reshma accentuates Katrina's eyes with shades that complement her ensemble. M.A.C Prep + Prime Eye ensures that the make-up does not bleed, fade or crease. M.A.C Pigment in Tan is applied all over the eyelid and blended at the outer ends. Next is M.A.C Pigment in Your Ladyship on the browbone. M.A.C Pigment in Pink Bronze is applied on half the eyelid beginning from the outer edge. To add drama, the outer edges are touched with M.A.C Pigment in Dark Soul. We apply M.A.C Pigment in Golden Lemon in her lower lashline. A thin line of M.A.C Fluidline in Blacktrack is applied on top lid and inner rims of eyes and finally, 4-5 coats of M.A.C Splashproof Mascara make the eyes stand out. No false lashes please, stresses Reshma. “There are emotional moments that follow, and false lashes will only lead to disaster.”

Lips
The eyes are the focus. So the lips have been kept simple, they are lined with M.A.C Lipglass Pencil in Pink Edge. M.A.C Slimshine Lipstick in Pink d'Lush is applied all over the lips, to give them a sheer pink-coral tint.

Make-up Trend: Pink-Red Lipstick

The latest incarnation of the red lip, but with cooler tones, looks powerful but fun on Katrina Kaif.

To coat the entire surface of your lips, smile while you apply: It stretches the lip, exposing every furrow to be filled with pigment. Blot for a toned-down stain like Katrina's

Holiday Make-up Trend: Glossy Red Nails

Cherry red, glossy nails are festive but not too loud.

Always purchase the nail color your manicurist used for touch-ups before a party.

Rec: M.A.C Nail Lacquer in Shirelle

Make-up Trend: Glossy, Glassy Lips

Katrina Kaif gives good lip service: To get this sheer, wet finish that looks like you just ate a popsicle, try a slightly tinted gloss loaded with natural oils, not a silicone lacquer.

Using a lipstick brush, paint gloss on slightly outside the rim of the lips (on the pale border of the lip line) to make your lips seem fuller.

Vimi's Tips on the latest M.A.C Stylistics Collection:
Celebrate femininity and emphasize the sensuality of your lips. Smoldering colors are used on the lips like Stylistics Lipstick in The Scene with Stylistics Lipglass in Tastemaker for that Femme Fatale mouth. Then define by using Burgundy Lip Pencil to give you the ultimate pout.

Some gorgeous faces Vimi has worked on:

Rani Mukherji

Katrina Kaif

Preity Zinta

Neha Dhupia

Shilpa Shetty

Make-up Trend: Glossy Pink Lips

Let your lips do the talking, like Katrina Kaif does. A sheer fuchsia adds brightness and vibrancy to your lips without looking overpowering.

If you're going bright on your lips, keep the rest of your makeup chic and simple.

Make-up Trend: Subtle Tan

The key to a fresh autumn complexion is a medium tan. Nothing too pale, nothing too bronze. To create a believable tint, spread a thin layer of light-shade self-tanner around your face and neck before bed each night.

Apply using a cosmetic wedge, so you can cover your hairline and small nooks without making your fingertips tan, too.

Make-up Trend: Gray Eyeshadow

People's lids are going up in smoke with the latest makeup trend. Wear a rich, pigmented formula for a night club look, or go for a sheer wash of gray during the day.
If you have light skin, concentrate the shadow near your lashline; cover the entire lid up to the eye socket if you have dark skin.
