Bollywood Bipasha Look- all time favourite products

I firmly believe in any female choosing a primer base and foundation that reacts well with their skin type. What foundation Bipasha may use on a regular basis may not be the ideal one for you, and neither in the right shade...so it's best to stick to the foundation you know your skin works well with! Once you have applied your favourite primer and foundation, follow these simple steps to getting the 'Bollywood Bipasha Look'.

Eyes

 
  • In order to get the awe-inspiring Bipasha cat-eye look, you need to add lots of drama using jet-black eyeliner, and create an extended bat winged-eye flick at the ends of the eyelids!
  • I suggest using MAC's Gel Eyeliner using a thin-nib eyeliner pencil. Using a small amount, follow the angle of your lower lash line to outline a sweeping effect, and then draw a line upward and outward to the far corner of your eye. Then simply fill it all in with the black gel to create a magnificent 'daring' effect!

 
  • Then using the MAC Liquid Eyeliner and pencil brush, go over the initial black line created, and use this liquid eyeliner to define the bottom of the eye-line.You can either add this to the inner part of your eye, or below you bottom eyelash line.
  • Once applied, using the thin eye-brush create a softer line by smudging it inwards and outwards. Of course, you are going for the dramatised look, however, you don't want to look scary! So a softer definition will give that touch of femininity.


Cheeks

 
  • MAC mineralise blush has an undertone bronzer shade that adds a warmer tone to the cheeks. Bipasha prefers to define those cheek bones with a golden bronzer blush, which fabulously lifts her skin too!
  • You may choose to go for a brighter blush to lift the cheeks, however, choosing one combined with a bronzer will give a beautiful subtle shimmer and golden warm undertone to the cheeks. Perfect for creating the Bipasha look!
  • Remember to sweep the blush in an upward direction, using an angled blush makeup brush. Start off with a minimal amount, and don't be frightened to add some more colour after one application, so long as it works to define those cheeks.

Lips

 
  • Whilst Bipasha loves to accentuate the eyes, she keeps the lips light and natural, using coral, light pink and nude shades.
  • I absolutely love Yves Saint Laurent- coral lipstick shade, and it pretty much stays on for a good few hours! Adding this particular shade to your lips will give a neutral balance to the rest of your makeup look, and is a colour that works well with most skin tones.
  • Then add a splash of shine, using Revlon's shaded lipgloss! It helps makes the lips looks plump and sexy, and brings out the coral infusion colour vastly!

Following these simple makeup techniques, you can create the perfect Bipasha signature look for any occasion. Whilst your makeup is quite intense and dramatic, don't forget to keep the hair voluminous and big too! Keep up to date with regular tips and beauty essentials here!
