Great Make-up: Trisha

I cannot for the life of me find a clear pic of Kareena Kapoor at the Film Fare Awards. If you know a link, please email it to me at anu@indianmakeupdiva.com. I'm not the most sophisticated net surfer. It's ok though, I make up for it with other positive talents such as... well... I'll get back to you on this.

This is a pic of Trisha at the 52nd Film Fare Awards. Her make-up is very low key and understated. The one thing I don't recommend that she does is to use a lighter foundation as her neck look too pasty compared to her arms etc and her hairline and face have a brown buffer zone. You know I need to make everyone's lives miserable because of this. However, this is a great, low-key look that you could easily wear every day.



Face:
Moisturize your face and under eyes with the cream and eye cream of your choice. Let it sink in for ten minutes. With a stipling brush, dot your face with a velvet finish foundation (I repeat in your skin tone) and then buff it in with a circular motion. The virtue of using a stipling brush is that it applies thin layers of make-up and so your make-up doesn't look caked on and very natural. Also, the end result looks very airbrushed and flawless. If necessary, conceal any spots, dark circles, and discolouration with the concealor of your choice. Dust translucent powder to set your make-up.

Recommendation: MAC Studio Fix Fluid, MAC 188 brush, MAC 187 brush, NYC Translucent Powder

Eyes:
Apply a primer on your lids to keep your shadow in place and make it as true to the pan as possible.

Recommendation: Urban Decay Primer Potion

Brows:
Since the look is very simple, groomed brows make this look. Tweeze any strays and comb brows with a spoolie brush. Although the brows are very groomed, they aren't overly darkened. So fill them in only where necessary and set with brow gel.

Recommendation: Ardell Brow & Lash Growth Accelerator

Eyelid:
Apply a peachy gold shadow from lashline to slightly above the crease.

Recommendation: MAC Honey Lust

Highlight:
Apply a shimmery, light peachy gold shade on the brow bone and blend into the crease.

Recommendation: MAC Ricepaper

Liner:
Take a deep, matte black liner in the formula of your choice and create a medium-thick liner from the inner corner of the eye to the outer corner. On the bottom lash line, I recommend a pencil or gel liner to line the entire lower lash line and waterline.

Recommendation: Revlon Colorstay Liquid Liner, Revlon Colorstay Pencil Liner, MAC Blacktrack Fluidline

Mascara:
Curl your lashes to get maximum impact and coat with one or two coats of mascara on top and bottom lashes. If you have any clumps, comb them out with a lash comb.

Recommendation: Maybelline XXL mascara

Cheeks:
With a stipling brush, apply a peachy bronze blush very, very lightly from the apples of the cheeks to the temple. When I say apply lightly, I mean that the blush should be only very slightly more intense than barely noticeable.

Recommendation: MAC Peachtwist

Lips:
Apply a pigmented plummy brown lip gloss to finish the look.

Recommendation: Stila Brown Sugar Lip Glaze
