This little clip shows Bipasha Basu arriving at the "green carpet" at the IIFA 2007 awards. Let's get out of the way that I think she's gorgeous and has a great figure. Against my better nature (I do have one I promise), I am going to have to speak out against her make-up. Let's leave the dress aside that looks like someone ripped a hole in the middle and Bipasha's stylist had all of 3 minutes to repair the gaping hole, look at the make-up.

Cat eyes are great, sexy, flattering and whatnot. I usually love how Bipasha can carry it off. However, maybe she feels bad that her make-up choices are usually good or maybe her make-up artist secretly hates her, but her make-up for the event is pretty horrific. The eyeliner is winged way too much both at the inner and outer corners. But here's my question, if she really wanted such a look why couldn't she stick to one colour of eyeliner so that the look is less garish? Why black an violet together in this exaggerated way? This look would be great for a cosmetics campaign or even a magazine cover.

I would usually have written a post about wanting to know what make-up she was wearing, but she has taken that away from me now. I only feel half human because of this.

Another clip, this time desi. Now that we've established that we're all highly intellectual rocket scientists who have a penchant for finding the perfect lip gloss, hair texturizer, or eye cream. Here's a clip at the Lakme India Fashion Week featuring a hair model. I am green with envy over her hair. Now that I've washed off my make-up you could probably see my face going green. I am having another wtf moment over the side ponytail. I hope this style doesn't catch on or I will hold Lakme responsible.

As you might have read, I tend to rant and splutter incomprehensibly until I foam at the mouth when it comes to the ridiculousness of fairness creams. After seeing this commercial I can't help but snicker. I'm glad the Indian companies that make fairness creams view men and women as equal opportunity prey. It's like a starved tiger pouncing on a deer. The tiger doesn't care if the deer is male or female, and neither do the makers of fairness creams. Ooh! That was vicious.
