Guest Post: How to Look Like a Bollywood Star
Bollywood actresses always look effortlessly glamorous and beautiful. They have a unique, opulent look that is quite stunning and can turn heads wherever they go. If you’ve ever wanted to cop the look, here are a few tips:
Luscious Hair
Bollywood stars always have lush, long, flowing hair. Short hair is beautiful in its own right, but if you want to look like a true Bollywood star, your hair needs to have two things: length and volume. If you struggle to grow your hair past a certain length, or if you have naturally flat or thin hair, this may present a challenge. Fortunately, you can easily achieve this look with the help of hair extensions like Brazilian deep wave bundles from True Glory Hair.
Hair extensions can give you instant length, and if your natural hair lacks volume, they can add body and shape. When shopping for hair extensions, make sure to invest in pieces that are well made from high quality virgin hair. These have the most natural look and feel, and will move just like your real hair. True Glory Hair offers virgin Indian hair extensions and Brazilian straight bundles that are extremely versatile and can withstand regular styling and several uses. Try these to get that seductive, feminine Bollywood look.
All About the Eyes
Bollywood actresses have very striking eyes. Most Indian women have naturally deep set eyes, but specific eye makeup techniques and the right color cosmetics also play a part. When it comes to Bollywood makeup, the focus is almost always on the eyes.
Achieve this look first by grooming your brows and making sure they are neat and clean. Unruly brows can distract from a good eye makeup look. Then prep your eyelids with an eyeshadow primer or matte concealer.
Opt for rich, vibrant colors like greens, blues and purples, and avoid colors that are too pale or sheer. Bollywood eyes are all about full pigmentation and impeccable blending. Finish off with thick, solid black eyeliner and a generous coat of volumizing mascara to really emphasize your eyes.
Clear Skin
A clean, flawless canvas is essential if you want to draw attention to your eyes. Patchy, uneven or unblended foundation can be incredibly distracting, especially if you have lots of blemishes or dark spots peeking through.
Apply a full coverage, long wearing foundation with a damp sponge for a flawless, airbrushed finish. Go over any imperfections with a budge proof concealer. Don’t forget to set everything with a translucent setting powder or setting spray so your base doesn’t start to fade or fall apart.
Last but not least, getting the Bollywood vibe is all about attitude. You can have the perfect hair and makeup, but if you don’t carry yourself right, you still won’t make the right impact. Bollywood stars are feminine, poised, demure yet alluring, and have a bit of mystery and just a hint of unattainability. Pulling this off requires confidence, so hold your head up high and don’t be afraid to flaunt what you’ve got!
