While she does all this well, what Deepika does even better is make heads turn with her ensembles.

Kangana Ranaut
his babe from the hills might not have mastered the art of gab or that of acting for that matter, but she sure is on the right spot for her fashion choices. She is one of those few women in the industry who are making bold and unconventional moves towards dressing themselves up – short bobs, spunky pop of neons, futuristic fashion, she’s doing them all and she’s doing them well. Now, how much of this is her or her stylist, we don’t know, but we are terribly inspired! Give us more, Kangana!

Anushka Sharma
he impresses you with her act, whether she is inside a film reel or off it. Anushka Sharma, by her own admission, is more ladette than a lady and embraces this quirky side with panache. So, while you will see her in a saree, hosting an award ceremony, you will also see her promptly do a tailored, sharp suit on the red carpet of the same ceremony, making heads turn with her Italian-mafia style of carrying something dangerous. Which, we’d think, would be her sartorial style. This girl looks no-fuss, a style statement loved by men. Hmm‌ fodder for thought!

Light kohl-rimmed eyes and a full mouth is your go-to for any daytime look. A base that looks effortless also goes a long way in helping you achieve that impeccable look. So, make a SPF waterproof foundation your best friend along with a concealer. With that oh-my-goodness canvas (your face) achieved, you are ready to go without much more ado.
A lot of us don’t have the luxury, the time, or simply the inclination to change makeup twice in a day. Which is why, we bring you this easy lesson to transition from day to night and keep the eyeballs on you! Click away and let us know what you think.
This season, night makeup is all about a bright pop of colour on your lips which have names as pretty as cranberry, tangerine and cherry. Match this yumminess with smoked-out eyes in less dramatic yet colourful shadows. Cheeks call for a nude rouge and finished with a strobe cream for that litfrom-within finish. Game, set, match.
