Bips' makeup tricks

For me, makeup is mostly the eyes. Doing my eyes is enough.

I dislike lipstick and dispense with it unless it's absolutely necessary. But I have a confession -- I love lipgloss.

On an ordinary day, if I am going out, I use a Mac shimmer, a moisturiser with a sheen [available in stores selling foreign cosmetics in India]. I don't use foundation.

I like mascara. I am now using a Max Factor mascara and a Mac lip gloss [both products are available in stores selling foreign cosmetics in India].

I use a Yves Saint Laurent bronzer [available in stores abroad].

We [actresses and models] use so much make-up that I get tired of it.

I usually use a highlighter, and kajal, on my eyes.

Here's a tip I would give anyone: If you are dressing up for an occasion, the easiest make-up is to do the eyes. Take a kohl pencil, draw a line on your eyelids. Take a smudging brush and just smudge it all over your lids. You can do this with your finger tips too.

Use a white highlighter over that.

Line your eyes with kohl and apply mascara.

That's it.

It really looks dressy. You don't need eyeshadow and mixing. It is good enough even for film shoots.
