Enhance Your Summer Glow the Right Way!

Gauri Khan, wife of super star Shah Rukh Khan has been a woman I've envied for over fourteen years. Not only is she married to one of the hottest men in Bollywood (just breathe), she's also one of India's fashion icons. Gauri Khan is not afraid to make a statement.
At last year's 53rd Annual Filmfare Awards, Gauri wore a breath-taking silver Versace number. However, as gorgeous as her dress was, you couldn't help but be distracted by her unnatural, orangey fake tan. Not to mention, the Barbie doll pink lipstick and lack of eye makeup only made her look older than she is. I understand the look Gauri was going for, but unfortunately, this look didn't come together in the end.


If you want to make your tan stand out, there are more options rather than just wearing white. For instance, MAC's eye shadow in Of Summer is a translucent purple pastel shade that creates a fresh, natural glow.
For the lips, Gauri could have worn a sheer, icy pink gloss such as Yes to Carrots lip gloss in
Flirty Pink. This would create a more natural and fresh makeup look.

I love Gauri's choice of pink blush- it definitely suits her. However, on the lids, you could also use a bronze eye liner that would reflect light instead of a black or brown eye liner. L'Oreal's HIP eyeliner in Gold Kohl would be a fantastic choice as well.


All of these colour choices are universally flattering, so don't be afraid to try them out this summer!
