Indian actress Freida Pinto has been on the Mumbai modeling circuit for many years; however, most know her best for her debut film role as Latika in Slumdog Millionaire. Since the highly regarded film was released in 2008, Freida has won an Academy Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, and a Palm Springs International Film Festival Award. In addition to these honors, she is also frequently listed in the media as one of the world’s best-dressed and most beautiful people. While Freida often goes with a neutral palette, we absolutely love her makeup in the Indian Vogue photoshoot!

Below is a step-by-step guide to recreating this effortlessly glamorous makeup look with THEVI cosmetics.

Face: The first step to recreating Freida’s look above is to apply your THEVI Liquid Mineral Foundation with SPF 15 as needed to smooth out any flaws, leaving a clean, fresh face. Next, add color to the face with THEVI Mineral Finishing Powder Duo in Mocha Mates. For this particular look, it is best to apply this product in a “3” starting at the middle of the forehead, curving out down to just below the cheekbone, and curving out once more down to the chin. Highlight by adding a touch of the lighter shade right on the cheekbones.

Anastasia Soare, the Definitive Brow and Eye Expert, introduces two new skincare products to the wildly popular Anastasia Beverly Hills line! Following the success of her cosmetics line, Anastasia debuted the Line Erasing Serum in August.  In January 2010, the second skincare product – Sheer Moisture Crème SPF 30 – will launch exclusively at Nordstroms.

The Show: Rebecca Minkoff
The Trend: Strong enhanced brow
The Color Story: To compliment a structured, high fashion collection incorporating a mostly black and off-white color palette, the makeup look features a matte complexion, nude/neutral lip and cheeks and a strong, enhanced brow.

The makeup look backstage at Rebecca Minkoff Spring 2010 was created by Sephora PRO Beauty Team, lead by Jose Rivera

How to Get the Look:
• Complexion – Try Sephora “Tricks of the Trade” Anti-Shine Primer and Mineral Matte Setting Powder to create a flawless canvass.
• Brows – To create sculpted, well-defined brows use the Sephora Collection Brow Tint Pen to create this structured look.
• Lips – To complete the look, apply Maniac Mat Long-Wearing Matte Lipstick in Mat 07, a matte peach.

Few weeks ago I was in a desperate need of a new blow dryer. My old one just broke, and I’m NOT naming any names. So I took a trip to ULTA Scottsdale Arizona and find myself standing and staring at a shelf  full of beautiful blow dryers. Now, which one should I choose? Thanks to a fabulous sales girl, Tina, I decided to get T3 Bespoke Labs Evolution Dryer.

T3 Bespoke Labs Evolution Dryer costs $300!! I know! I  must say, I was quite skeptical at first to spend that much money on a blow dryer. But, I always remember something Pantene’s Celebrity Hair Stylist Hallie Bowman said: Save your big bucks on hair products but invest in the BEST styling tools. Because good styling tools will cut down on styling time, and the time your hair is exposed to damaging heat. Makes sense. Fast forward 3 weeks later, and I’m one happy customer with great looking hair:) Thank you Tina and ULTA Scottsdale for helping me pick my dream blow dryer!
