Make-up Trend: Smoky Lavender Eyes

Atthe launch of Streax Hair Pro Straightener Malaika Arora Khan sported some shimmery, lavender smokey eyes. Bright colors can look too harsh against winter skin. Winterize any eye shadow by blending in a warmer color, like golds, coppers, or even a bronze (translucent powder or eye shadow will both work). The dose of light and sparkle will make even the hottest shades look cool.

Hey I was going to do a post on her but now that you have done it. lol. but don't you just love her make-up? esp her skin and shade of blush is just perfect. I hate Malaika's dressing sense but her make-up is almost always perfect! :)

@shivanixx I absolutely agree. She looks FLAWLESS.

@Anonymous Absolutely, to start off, firstly use a full coverage foundation like Make Up For Ever Face and Body Foundation, which gives you a matte, full coverage finish. Apply concealer to cover blemishes, hide under eye circles etc. For the eyes you'll need a gold, burgundy, and pearly highlighter. Apply the gold shadow halfway on your eye and blend a burgundy purple in your crease and outter lid. Apply the pearly highlighter on your brow bone and blend your crease and brow bone well, so there are no harsh lines. Use a black eye pencil and rim the upper and lower lid of your eyes with it. Apply the same burgundy eyeshadow you used in your crease and outter lid and smoke out your lower lid with it. Apply mascara and you're done. Now to the cheeks, apply a pinky-peach blush to the apples of your cheeks. To finish off, apply a sheer pink lipstick and top it off with the same lipgloss.

Hope this helps. =)
