Makeup artist Kapil Bhalla shares some tricks that every girl must be aware of. - Use an eyelash curler before applying mascara to make your eyes look bigger and brighter. - Clean the mascara wand completely using tissue paper before application to avoid any clumps and there will still be enough mascara to separate the lashes. - Always use cooling eye drops like Ikul or Clearine before doing eye make up to make the white of the eyes look whiter. - A flesh-coloured eye pencil used in the waterline can cleverly make the eyes look bigger. - Black kohl used in the waterline actually defines the eyes like nothing else can. Use it in the night before sleeping and wash off in the morning. The residue will make your eyes look their sexiest best. - Tweezers any day win over threading. You will discover your natural arch soon if you stop threading the top of the eye brows and tweeze just the bottom. - Increasing the gap of eyebrows between the eyes even by a few millimetres will give you a wide eyed look. - Clear mascara helps in keeping the eyebrows in place. - Mix a few drops of your liquid foundation in your daily moisturiser to make your very own tinted moisturiser. - Smokey eyes look best with pale lips, and dark lips need no eye make up except mascara or an eyeliner. - When you smile, the area of your cheek that rises up is your blush area, irrespective of your face shape. - Moisten your lips with lip balm and then rub with tissue after a few minutes to take off dead skin. This will keep lipstick lasting much longer. - For Indian skin, look for rich jewel tones in eye make up. You can never go wrong with a sapphire blue vs a powder blue or an emerald green vs a pale green. Silver, gold, pewter, rust, copper bronze are your best bets too. - Try using an eyebrow powder to fill in the brows instead of an eye brow pencil to avoid looking like a drag queen. - Orange tones in make up are more flattering on dusky skin tones, and pink tones will work on fair skin tones. - Mixing some gold dust powder into your body cream will make your skin glow like a healthy beach tan. - Do not always match eye make up with your wardrobe. Nails are a better option to match and will make you look much cooler.
