Sonam Kapoor's Makeup Look

Sonam Kapoor had one of the most magical and promising launches into the Hindi film industry, being cast as the lead heroine in director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's much-anticipated film Saawariya. Though the film has been criticized by many, Sonam Kapoor continues to enchant us with her wit, charm and natural beauty. Here is a classic look that enhances Sonam's natural beauty.

On the face:

Use a moisturizer and primer onto the face to create an overall smooth finish. Then apply a foundation and concealer to match your skin tone.

On the eyes:

1. Start by patting a primer for the eye lids, such as MAC's Painterly Paintpot, using your fingers. The warmth from your fingers should allow for an even application.

2. Pat a translucent powder over the entire lid.

3. Using MAC's Mineralize Eyeshadow Duo in Heat/Element is a great way to get two complimentary colours in one pot. Gently pat a light neutral colour such as MAC's e/s in Shroom all over the entire lid, past the crease.

4. Using the Mineralize e/s Duo, place Element (the darker, rusty brown shade) on the outer third of your lid, placing the colour from the lash line, just past the crease. Use "half" windshield wiper motions going back and forth to properly blend the colour. (Tip: Use MAC's brush #224- Tapered Blending Brush)

5. Using Heat (the lighter golden shade), place on the brow bone, inner part of lid up to the tear duct. This brightens up the eye and makes you look refreshed. Blend just above the upper crease to avoid any harsh lines.

6. Using a dark brown pencil eye liner, use small strokes to line the entire upper lash line as well as the entire water line (the inner white part of your lower lashes). Follow by two coats of mascara on upper and lower lashes.

On the cheeks:

1. After using a pressed powder for coverage, spray MAC's Fix + over the face. Then apply MAC's Mineralize Blush Duo in Moon River on the apples of the cheeks. Use concentric circles over the apples to blend evenly.

2. For that dewy glow, spray Fix + again over cheeks (even using Duo Fibre brush to stipple on). Then using an angled blush brush, apply a highlighter just above the cheekbone and temples.

On the lips:

1. For this look, avoid using a lip liner to define the lips- it only ages your face. Instead, use a lipstick such as MAC's Viva Glam V Lipstick and matching lip glass.
