They don't call it "Cover Girl" for nothing!


Kareena Kapoor is definitely on the "hot" list at the moment! This gorgeous 28-year old star is part of Bollywood royalty- her grandfather is the late Raj Kapoor, her father is actor Ranbir Kapoor and mother is retired actress Babita. Plus, her older sister Karishma Kapoor has been acting in films for over 15 years. Did I forget to mention that Kareena is dating the hottest guy in Bollywood- Saif Ali Khan? Kareena is definitely on cloud nine these days and it's not just thanks to her rocking career or love life- it's thanks to the right makeup products.
As you can clearly see, Kareena has (thankfully) made some beauty decisions. A lot of the compliments she has been receiving on her great looks are due to a little thing called bronzer, the right concealer, eye liner, fake lashes and of course a good night's sleep.
Here are a few tricks that Kareena used to enhance her looks and a few products that might do the trick for you too!

For the skin:

Notice the large areas of redness all around Kareena's face (in her cheeks, on her chin and nose) as well as the pigmentation under her eyes? One of my most favourite beauty indulgences helps correct these problems with one palette- Makeup For Ever's Camouflage Cream Palette.

Kareena would use Palette #1 (N1) for her skin tone. The green colour (on the extreme right) is to be used to counteract any redness. The fourth colour (with a large amount of peach pigment) is perfect for dark under eye circles when used with a concealer brush such as MAC's concealer brush #242 . As a South Asian girl, I have looked everywhere for the right coverage concealer and this is by far the best product that I have found to even out my skin tone without that heavy, cakey feel or look. Makeup For Ever's Camouflage Cream Palette in No. 1 is good for fair skin, but there are other palettes for medium (No. 2) and darker complexions (No.3) as seen below. Just so you know, you can buy individual concealer pots directly at the Makeup For Ever counter or at Sephora. This way you can avoid buying unnecessary products that you will not use.
Bollywood Makeup Whiz (BMW) Tips:
* This Camouflage palette has best results when it is applied before your foundation. Usually, many women make the mistake of applying their concealer first and then wiping away all of the coverage by adding foundation. However, this product is an exception- by adding this product first to the face, you still get full coverage but you notice a lighter texture.
* Always set your concealer and/or foundation with a light dusting of translucent powder. This will set your makeup and avoid any rub-offs. Dusting translucent powder throughout the day keeps your look fresh.
