Known for her captivating kohl-esquel eyes and a flawless, youthful glow, Kareena is the new queen bee of Bollywood. Be it the effervescently nude makeup in Tashan or the mesmerizing smokey kohled eyes in Kurbaan, the lady never lets us down with her picture perfect makeup.

To achieve the look:
Kareena’s flawless skin and high cheek bones are her best features. Start with a clean and moisturized face, Lancôme Hydra Zen Cream works wonders and adds a subtle sheen to your face.

Work towards creating a smooth airbrushed complexion. Use a concealer under your eyes to cover any dark circles or puffiness and blend a foundation to create an even skin tone. We recommend Dior’s Airflash Spray foundation that’s just the right texture.

The eyes are a focal point of this look. Go heavy on the eyeliner drawing a bold line close to your upper lashes. Apply two coats of mascara and line your lower lash line with a creamy kohl pencil. For the beauty connoisseurs, Guerlain Khol Loose Powder is heaven sent to achieve stunning results.

Highlight your cheek bones with a pale pink blush and keep the lips nude with just a hint of mauve. Let your eyes do the talking.

Get smoky eyes in just 5 minutes..

Whether you’ve got a big concert or a fancy gala to attend, creating a smoky eye can add a bit of sophisticated drama to your look. Perfecting the smoky eye is not limited to makeup friends and artists alike, but to anyone with the correct tools and a little know-how.
Learn to apply both a classic and dramatic smoky eye with these fast and easy steps.

• Begin by applying a light shade of concealer to the under eye area, and all over the top lid. Your mineral makeup foundation is a great concealer for this step and prepares your eyes for the eye shadow that you are going to apply.
• With a small eye shadow brush or a q-tip, soften the edges of the eye pencil line.

  Apply a dark shadow using a sponge-tip applicator, smudge brush or a q-tip directly over the penciled area and smudge. (If you prefer, you can use your finger tip.)The shadow helps to set and soften the look.

• Next apply a lighter shadow in a neutral tone with a larger eye shadow brush, I like to use the wet/dry brush.

  Encircling the entire eye area, be sure to soften and graduate outward for that perfect blended look.

• Apply dark black liner on your eye lids, you can give it a dramatic look by prolonging it from the corner of your eyes,
• Creating a smokey eye isn’t just all about eye shadow, it’s the overall look. So, while you want to do a precise job of applying the right eye shadows in the right places, you also wanted to pay attention to your lashes. Curling your eyelashes will help open up your eyes and really make them stand out.
• After you curl your lashes, you’ll want to apply generous coats of mascara. Some people find that waterproof mascaras hold curl better so that’s always an option. However, some waterproof mascara formulas can be a bit drying on the lashes so it’s not the best idea to use a waterproof formula daily. But for special occasions, why not?
• Brush away any shadow that has fallen below the eye with a fluffy brush and clean up any areas that have smeared with a q-tip. If you have trouble getting rid of fallout from eye shadow, you can always try using Scotch tape to pick up any fallout without smudging your makeup.
• Want a more dramatic look add more Shadow and Mascara! If you are looking for the most dramatic effect be sure to curl those lashes and apply 2-3 coats of black mascara!

  Hint: Want your eyes to look larger – Pull your liner upward when lining your bottom lashes instead of out from the top liner! This will make your eyes look larger and rounder!
