Be Talk: Celeb Style File: Sonam Kapoor at the Cosmopolitan Fun, Fearless Female, Male Awards 2012

The Cosmopolitan Fun, Fearless Female, Male Award-well the name itself evokes a feel of Bohemia and wilderness. Sonam Kapoor with her as usual "fashion alert" type of stylization bagged the Cosmopolitan Fun Fearless Female Best Dressed Award for 2012. Heres presenting her couture and makeup files for that occasion.

This is a dress by D&G, that looked quite unconventional on the red carpet with its deep pink tone and floral motifs. The dress-albeit being pretty lacks definition-especially around the waist- making her figure look odd and disproportionate.

As for the makeup- I guess this time she tried her hand at androgynous makeup. In my opinion-this combo didn't work well. With the romantic look of the dress-a very girlie and delicate look would have made a best pair. The thick and unkempt eyebrows dont look much appealing. I detect a pink blush and berry pink matte lipstick on her. There is a pale gold shadow on the inner corner of her eyes-which are then lined and paired with falsies and mascara. What I loved most are the diamond danglers and her side styled luscious hair!!!!

Be Talk: Celeb Style File: Anushka Sharma at the 2012 Colors Screen Awards

In the GS-Celeb Style File spotlight this week is Anushka Sharma -jazzing up in a hot red Bibhu Mohapatra dress and gorgeous makeup. The makeup break down has been narrated in full detail by stylist Puneet Saini as below: (Courtesy: Vogue Magazine)

 

 

"To complement the beautiful linear silhouette of Bibhu Mohapatra's gown we decided to  go with an edgy smoky eye and a neutral-coloured mouth," she said, of the makeup.

Skin: "The skin was prepped with a hydrating moisturiser to start with and was followed up with Photo Finish Primer from Smashbox." recounts Saini.

She followed through with Bobbi Brown Luminous Moisturizing Foundation in Warm Natural. Saini used M.A.C Stippling brush to make the foundation sheer. "This makes the foundation look like second skin. As Anushka has great skin, I wanted to keep it looking that way." says Saini. A minimum amount of M.A.C Pro Longwear Concealer and setting powder completed the skin routine.

Eyes: Saini started out with M.A.C Cream Colour Base in Hush to create a creamy base for the eye makeup.

"I used Black Track Gel Eyeliner from M.A.C to line the waterline and the inner rim of upper lash line to create depth." says Saini. She then used the same eyeliner on upper lid and blended it till the crease. This was topped with M.A.C Eyeshadow in Carbon, starting at the lash line moving upwards and stopped just short of the crease to keep it from getting too goth.

The lower lash line was then darkened with the powder eyeshadow and smudged with a small blending brush to create a smouldering effect. "I also went back with a black kohl pencil on the waterline to strengthen the black inside the eyes." says Saini.\

Cheeks: The cheeks were slightly contoured with M.A.C Mineralize Skin Finish in Dark.

Saini followed this with a combination of a pink and peach blush to give Sharma's cheeks a healthy look. "I highlighted the cheekbones with M.A.C Cream Colour Base in Hush to give the skin a dewy appearance." says Saini.
 

Lips: "I did not fuss much with the lips " says Saini, who moisturized Sharma's lips with Lip Mender from H2O. She then filled it Bronzelle, a nude lip pencil from Lancome and topped with Clear Lipglass from M.A.C "

I am happy that I could recognize all the products that was used (Big Deal!!) I loved the look-such smoldering eyes are what I dream of wearing perfectly  someday! The accessories are pretty too! 

Time for your opinion ladies!!! 

Be Talk: Celeb Style File: Bipasha Basu at the launch of Dabboo Ratnani 2012 Calender Launch

The Celeb Style post was long due-only because I could find no Bollywood star flashing that much of breathtaking-eyecatching-mousestopping (/wahaha) style in any recent events. I was becoming almost impatient-when I suddenly came across the Bong Bombshell Bipasha flaunting her 10/10 figure in a Dior Trenchcoat. The event was the launch of Dabboo Ratnani's 2012 Calender launch on 6th Jan this year. 

The Dior trenchcoat is from the Spring 2010 collection. She has paired it with skinny jeans and peep-toe pumps. I quite like the style mostly because it is stylishly practical ! Not over the top but sophisticated in one word! I am inspired to look for such trench coats after seeing this! I love the way she has done the hair and the side-bangs she is sporting off late.  However I feel-this look is kinda more formal for evening parties.

 

 

She is wearing her patented dark and winged eyes paired with well defined eyebrows and falsies. She has also lined the lower lash line so the eyes get maximum definition. I find a peachy pink blush on her cheeks and a pink lipstick-topped with gloss. The makeup looks dewy. However-I feel Bipasha could have experimented with a bright lipcolor with this outfit-as the natural makeup paired with metallic-jacket-and-black pants combination is toning down her style fever somewhat! A bright red lipstick IMO would have looked great-just like the model-sporting the same Dior coat is wearing below! 

 

As the rest of the outfit is not much bright-this dress, I guess is ideal for experimenting with bright makeup-especially if one is wearing it for the night.

Have your say ladies!!!

Be Talk: Celeb Style File: Katrina Kaif at the launch of Econ Air Conditioners by Panasonic.

We Girls can learn one good thing-and one bad thing from Katrina Kaif for sure..

1) How to rock in a simple black dress

2) How to give similar expressions in all photos

Well I discovered these truth's while viewing the pics of Katrina Kaif at the launch of Econ Air Conditioners by Panasonic at Hotel Renaissance in Powai on this Dec 23rd. She is looking elegant-diva-licious and drop dead gorgeous-and giving the LBD (little black dress)-a new reason to fall in love with!!! I dunno whether it is her stylist-or her inner fashionista -that makes her look this good even with minimal makeup and accessories. The dress completely compliments her figure-which I guess needs no further definition after watching Chikni Chameli :D. Her demure makeup-IMO-comprises of : heavily penciled brows, generous amount of mascara, a peachy pink blush and her most signature pink gloss. Over all the look is neutral and dewy. I suppose this is not exactly a good choice for winter events-which I think demands more warmth and provides more opportunity to experiment. I guess Bollywood beauties are not much into innovations when it comes to public appearances (well my first post on Kangana was an exception though)-and their makeup and style really gets predictable after some time. 

 

And now-if you might be wondering why the pics look so similar- refer to my point#2 /wahaha /wahaha

Be Talk: Celeb StyleFile: Kareena Kapoor at the BIG STAR Awards 2011

Here we get another bombshell in black-Kareena Kapoor in a Namrata Joshipura black gown at the BIG STAR Awards 2011. I find much similarity between this look and Kanganas attire in my last post-the dark eyes-with-nude lipstick pair. However- Kareena is looking subtly beautiful rather than hitting the loud chord here!!! And the makeup is flawless IMO!!! Thickly lined eyes-nude lippy-peachy blush/highlighter never goes wrong!!!

I found out some other pretty Namrata Joshipura creations on the internet-will share them with you in a post later :)

Be Talk: Celeb Style: Kangana Ranaut at the Hindustan Times Mumbai’s Most Stylish Awards 2011

Well-Kangana Ranaut has inspired me finally to start a new section in my blog! 

The Celeb Style Files!

Actually her winged eyes did the magic. Being a through and through winged eye lover-I just couldn't stop myself from sharing this avatar of Kangana. Well I loved the way the eyes are making a strong statement-which is not going over the top because of the nude lips. However, the makeup looks slightly cakey along the jawline in the second pic.

I like the well fitted dress too-paired with golden shoes-I so wish se carried a pale golden or golden beige clutch instead of the black one!!

Any guess on the brand of her dress or shoes??
