Deepika Padukone
DAY
SKIN: To get Deepika’s dewy complexion, apply tinted moisturiser or BB cream all over the face to even out the skin tone. Dot a matte concealer under the eyes to correct any discolouration and brighten the eye area.
CHEEKS: Apply a browny/peach blush from the cheek up along the cheekbones. Use an illuminator on the apples of the cheek to recreate Deepika’s luminescent look.
EYES: Deepika’s daytime eye make-up is minimal. Just add a touch of tan eyeshadow to the lid, rim the inner eyelids with brown kohl eye pencil and define the upper lash line with a black felt tip liner. Finish with three coats of mascara.
BROWS: Use a kit to define your brows. Fill in any gaps with an angled brush using light strokes with a special emphasis on the arch.
LIPS: A nude pink lipstick completes this pretty daytime look.
NIGHT
SKIN: Start with an oil-free primer to minimise shine. Apply a medium- to full-coverage foundation, stippling it with a make-up sponge, then apply a corrective concealer and set everything with loose powder.
CHEEKS: Generously apply a bright, reddish-pink blush, concentrating the colour on the apples of the cheek, blending it up on to the cheekbones.
EYES: Create a softer smoky eye with a nude-toned palette. Use a taupe brown shadow in the crease and a lighter nude all over the lid. Create a winged flick with a liquid liner. Start at the corner of the eye, drawing a 1cm-long diagonal line towards the eyebrow. Then carefully draw along the lash line, filling in any gaps as you go.
BROWS: Use the same kit and technique from the day look to further define the brow, being slightly more generous with the amount of colour used.
LIPS: Change up your look by night with a bold and bright matte colour. Use a lip primer to help seal and make the lipstick last longer.

Priyanka Chopra
DAY
SKIN: Apply a long-wearing compact foundation to mimic Priyanka’s flawless and matte skin. Then use a light concealer under the eyes to cover any dark circles and conceal imperfections.
CHEEKS: Dust on an illuminating blush in a soft pink shade to the apples of the cheek to brighten up the face.
EYES: Using a thick liner pen, draw along the top lid, going heavier towards the outer corner of the eye to create the illusion of an almond-shaped eye. Coat lashes with a smoky-eye mascara top and bottom to fan them out and add drama.
BROWS: Use a brow brush and a brown eyeshadow to lightly fill and define the eyebrows, keeping the focus on the eyes.
LIPS: Get bee-stung lips like Priyanka’s with a nude-toned enhancing and volumising gloss to give a fuller-looking pout.
NIGHT
SKIN: Prep your face with a cameraready primer, then brush a fullcoverage formula foundation all over the face. Make sure you blend it in so there aren’t any paintbrushlike streaks. To conceal spots and under-eye bags, use a corrective and long-lasting concealer. Dab under the eyes, being careful to pat and roll your finger so you get a seamless finish.
CHEEKS: Dust a shimmering rose-gold blush on the cheeks, concentrating the colour on the cheekbones to slim and contour the face.
EYES: Accentuate your eye shape with pigmented eyeshadow, starting with a peachy/ brown colour to define the crease, applying in a windscreen-wiper motion. Use the same shadow to line the lower lashes. Use a light pearlescent colour on the brow bone as a highlight, finishing off with a sparkly gel liner along the top lash line for redcarpet drama, plus some false-lash-effect mascara.
BROWS: Add more colour and definition to the brows with a pencil or powder the same colour as your natural brow to keep the focus on the eyes.
LIPS: Go for a shine-finish pink lipstick slightly darker than your lip colour for an understated look like Priyanka’s.
Bipasha Basu
DAY
SKIN: Apply a pea-sized amount of CC cream to the centre of the face, buffing it outwards with a stippling brush. Add an illuminating concealer under the eyes to brighten the area, and set with translucent powder.
CHEEKS: Dab creamy blush on the apples of the cheek for a natural, flushed finish.
EYES: To copy Bipasha’s smoky liner, rim the inner eyelids with a gold-brown kohl pencil, and the upper lid with a black one. Soften the intensity of the upper line by topping off with a little matching powder eyeshadow. Finish with two coats of waterproof mascara for a lasting, all-day flutter.
BROWS: Bipasha’s brows are super neat. Fill in sparse brows with an eyebrow pencil, and brush into place with a brow-shaper gel.
LIPS: For a pretty, natural look, choose a pinkish, nude-toned lipstick. Apply, blot, and reapply for extra staying power.
NIGHT
SKIN: Bipasha likes to let her hair down and party from time to time, so start with a primer to help increase the longevity of your night-time makeup. With a tapered flat brush, apply a full-coverage foundation all over the face, concentrating on the
centre of the face, or the T-zone. Apply concealer under the eyes and set everything with loose powder.
CHEEKS: Use a blush brush to apply a dusky pink blush to the apple of the cheeks, taking it up the cheekbones for added definition.
EYES: Apply a thick liner to the bottom eyelid. Brush a dark purple shadow in a windscreen-wiper motion along the crease of the eye, taking it up towards the brow bone to define the socket. Pack a black eyeshadow on to the lid. Finally, use a gold shade on the brow bone to highlight it. Finish with Bipasha’s signature winged liner, using her favourite Mac Liquid Eyeliner and four coats of black mascara.
BROWS: Add drama to the brow by darkening with brow powder using an angled brush and small, feathered strokes.
LIPS: Line and fill in your lips with a coral pink pencil, and top off with a lipstick in a matching shade. Blot and reapply.
Sonam Kapoor
DAY
SKIN: Keep the base minimal and apply a lightweight foundation with a brightening
concealer under the eyes.
CHEEKS: Dust coral powder blush to the apples of the cheek for a rosy glow.
EYES: Brush on a bronze eyeshadow all over the lid and up to the brow bone. Rim the inner eyelids with black gel liner and apply a shimmering highlight to the inner
corner to open up the eyes. Use the same gel liner to draw along the top lid, making it thicker towards the outer eye corner.
BROWS: Use a waterproof-formula cream to draw in heavy brows like Sonam’s, using a product like Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Brow Corrector (Dh200). Make them lighter at the inner eye corner, deepening the shade towards the outer corner.
LIPS: Use a pink gloss to give your lips a voluminous finish.
NIGHT
SKIN: Prep the face with a primer, especially along the T-zone to minimise shine. Apply a luminescent foundation all over, then top with a powder foundation for fuller coverage. Pat in a long-wearing concealer with your finger to cover any bags or dark circles.
CHEEKS: Apply powder blush to the apples of the cheek, blending out into the cheekbone.
EYES: Apply a bisque-coloured shadow all over the eyelid, defining the crease with
a dark brown shadow right into the socket. Dot a creamy, pearlescent shadow at the inner corner of the eye, then from the inner corner of the bottom lash line and halfway along. Continue that line using a teal-coloured liner right out towards the outer corner. Highlight the brow bone with that same pearlescent shade. Next, draw a thin, liquid line from the inner corner of the eye, thickening towards the outer corner, to create a dramatic wing. Finish with two coats of mascara on the top and bottom lashes.
BROWS: Fill in and darken the eyebrows so they complement the heavy eye make-up, using short, feathered strokes.
LIPS: Apply a moisturising coral lipstick like Sonam’s to finish off this must-try evening look.
