Hi girls, Today’s video is really special for me. I created this look inspired by the beautiful Deepika Padukone. she looked absolutely gorgeous in the stunning couture line by the celebrity designer Manish Malhotra. Please note that I am no way trying to look like her. My facial features are no where near the gorgeous Deepika Padukone. What I am trying to do is – my own version of the makeup she wore for ICW 2016. I have created a simple Classic smokey eye look paired with a nude lipstick. This look can be worn regardless of day/night. A very nice and glowy party makeup. You can also substitute an intense lip color for a bold look too.

Watch the video in HD to knowĀ how I created this look
- I prepped my face usingĀ MAC Strobe Cream.Ā It acts as a primer/moisturizer which awaken the the dull skin and luminizes with its iridescent particles. Deepika have a pretty glowy skin and this cream helped meĀ enhance the effect of makeup.
- For my Eye Makeup, I appliedĀ MAC Cosmetics Studio Finish NC45 as a eye shadow base. Then I took the L’Oreal Paris Le Kohl – Black and applied it on my upper lashline. Later smudged/smoked it using a flat shader brush. After smoking out the harsh edges, Ā I created this look using 2 palettes a)Ā MAC Cosmetics Mineralize Eye Quad- Pure Bred b) Bobbi Brown – Constellation . I took the darker shade from Pure Bred quad and appliedĀ it uptill the crease using a shader brush and used a transition shade from the same quad and blended it really well. Finished off the eye makeup using theĀ Bobbi Brown – Constellation(nice warm chocolate brown with shimmer) and also usedĀ L.A Colors Jumbo Pencil – white for brow bone area and The balm Mary-lou manizer as inner corner highlight.
- For eyeliner-Ā I used Chanel Precision Eye Definer-Noir Black on my waterline and lower lashline and using a flat brush I smoked the shade on lower lashline. intensified the look usingĀ Estee Lauder Little Black Liner – Onyx
- Ā I decided to skip the falsies and use the Ā Tarte Lash Extending Fibres. I first applied one coat of Bobbi Brown Smokey Eye Mascara and then used tarte and them finished off using one more coat of Bobbi Brown mascara to set the fibre in place.
- For my foundation – I usedĀ Burberry Makeup Velvet Foundation – 204 Trench, Blended it well using damp Real Techniques expert face brush (sprayedĀ Pixi by Petra Makeup Fixing Mist) Ā & beauty blender – black.
- I usedĀ MAC Cosmetics Studio Finish NC45 concealer to cover my dark circles and also do spot concealing. To set my concealer , I used Ben Nye Neutral Colorless Setting Powder. For brightening the under eye area and high points of my face – Ā I used theĀ L.A Girl PRO HD Conceal – Creamy Beige, blended it well using damp beauty blender.
- For defining my nose and cheek bone. I usedĀ L.A Girl PRO HD Conceal – Toast and blended it well using damp beauty blender- black. I usedĀ Ben Nye Neutral Colorless Setting Powder for baking the areasof my face. (check video to know how)
- To fill in my eye brows- I usedĀ Sleek Makeup Eye Brow Kit – Dark
