Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has always been an evergreen beauty in my opinion, and she stunned me again this time with her gorgeous and elegant looks in all her appearances at Cannes this year. Apart from her lovely dresses, her makeup is something that really makes her stand out. Check out more details below: Get the Look: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's Ethnic Glamour at Cannes 2012 Positively glowing, new mommy and actress, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had us at her beautifully done up kohl-rimmed eyes. Not missing a moment of her appearance on the red carpet, we instantly thought of how to copy her look to perfection. To nab that look of radiance, start with applying some Hydrafresh Deep Boosting Essence; after that, blend in the True Match Foundation lightly over your face. Next, work on your cheekbones. For that, use some of the True Match Blush in 265 Golden Apricot. Not too flashy, this shade will delicately dress the apples of your cheeks. To read more check HERE Get the Look...

I saw some of the "makeup diaries" videos of Sonam Kapoor a couple of months back and I was quite fascinated with her this particular look. So, while browsing when I stumbled upon this video, I thought of sharing it here. Absolutely love this look, what do you say?

Hello girls, Here is my attempt to try eye makeup done by Eva Longoria in this promo of Desperate Housewives season 7. I tried to get the look as close as I can, but it might not be exact of what she had. I had quite a lot of fun trying to do this look. Also it happens to be my first attempt in trying a celebrity look! I've also used lots of pink on my face to go with the eyes, just because I like it this way. The complete face look of Eva Longoria requires lot of bronzer and highlighter, nude lipstick and gloss. So, feel free to experiment with the look. And, here goes the look and the tutorial Products used: Eyes Garnier roll on concealer under eyes Faces metalliglow primer from Faces smokey eye kit Bonjour Paris white eye pencil 88 eyeshadow palette from The brush company for highlighter, you can use any other highlighter that suits you Maybelline Chai Latte Quad Inglot eyeshadow shade #430 Oriflame's Aladdin and Yasmine Eye pencil Oriflame Kajal Eye liner Am...

Disclaimer : This is not an attempt to look like Eva Longoria. I just tried to replicate the gorgeous eye makeup she has done in the below mentioned promo. Image reference has been taken from 0:44 snapshot of the below video. This look is specifically done for my dear Farha!! :D. I hope you like my attempt. If you like it then stay tuned because tutorial is coming soon!! (Please ignore the crappy false lashes, I am still in a hunt to get some decent ones! ) And here is the look:

I'd ordered a couple of stuffs from Oriflame a while back, and chose for "Home delivery" option with "Cash on Delivery" payment mode. However, since I stay at my office from morning 8:30 to evening 5:30, I've given my office address for delivery purpose. Twice it has happened that my Oriflame package went back, just coz the courier came after 5:30 by which I’d already left for home and none of the courier guys were willing to come to my home to give the package. This had been really frustrating for me, as there is no way I can tell while ordering as within what time should the package be delivered. There is no free delivery on Oriflame orders unless your order is for Rs.1500/- or more. And, when you are paying around 100 bucks extra just for delivery, you expect certain level of commitment. So, my last parcel went back for similar reasons. I ordered some less products again this time, for Rs.513/- this time (including delivery). I received my order on ti...

Anushka at Mizwan Anushka Sharma Priyanka Chopra Shilpa Shetty Shilpa Shetty Shahzahn Padamsee Sameera Reddy Amrita Rao Diya Mirza Lara Dutta Neha Dhupia Celina Jaitley Ranbir Kapoor, Designer Manish Malhotra, Priyanka Chopra, Hrithik Roshan I have only posted the pics of the ladies in the show. However the guys who walked the ramp for this charity show were Ranbir Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Kunal Kapoor and Ranveer Singh. I absolutely adored the white/offwhite themed dresses, especially what Shilpa Shetty is wearing. Out of the colored ones, I liked Diya on the whole and Neha Dhupia's skirt.  What did you like?
