Make-up Trend: Alabaster Skin

Who's the fairest of them all? Kareena Kapoor's rich, ivory skin looked picture perfect. With a complexion so porcelain and alabaster, her make-up artist Mickey Contractor chooses makeup shades in their sheerest formulation for her on the first issue of Harper's Bazaar India.

The right makeup shades aren't necessarily the palest. Look for formulas that are ultra-sheer, with a minimum amount of pigment, so that even deep shades can look subtle and natural.

Pri,

Yeah, shadows like M.A.C All that Glitters and M.A.C Shroom! would give you that effect!

Kaya,

For an airbrushed, creamy-satiny finish, apply the foundation with a M.A.C 187 stippling brush!

Do you know what lipgloss the makeup artist used on Kareena? It is a very pretty pink color.
