Beauty lessons from Preity Zinta

​Preity Zinta has aged like a fine wine and the 48-year-old has been leaving us in awe of her beauty looks on Instagram. From her smoky eyes to spidery lashes, here are a few beauty lessons to take from her.

​

For an award show, she turned up in glossy red lipstick with her side parted wavy locks. She exuded elegance in this look.

Preity looks immaculate in her spidery eyelashes. To achieve the look, apply a thin coat of mascara to your lashes, starting at the base and working your way up to the tips. Use the tip of the brush to carefully separate and define each lash. Apply a second coat of mascara, focusing on the tips of your lashes. Wiggle the brush back and forth as you apply the mascara to create a spidery effect.

To get smoky eyes like Preity, choose a dark shade of eyeshadow, such as black, gray, or dark brown. Apply this shade to the eyelid, starting at the lash line and blending upward. Use a fluffy blending brush to blend the eyeshadow into the crease of the eyelid. Apply a slightly darker shade of eyeshadow to the outer corner of the eye and blend it into the crease. This will add depth to the smoky eye look. Then use a light shade of eyeshadow to the brow bone and inner corner of the eye to highlight and brighten the eye area. Apply a black or dark brown eyeliner to the upper lash line, making sure to get as close to the lash line as possible. You can also apply eyeliner to the lower lash line for a more dramatic look.

To recreate the no-makeup makeup look like Preity apply a light coverage foundation or tinted moisturiser, focusing on areas that need coverage. Use a damp makeup sponge or brush to blend it into your skin. Make sure to choose a shade that matches your skin tone. Conceal any blemishes, dark circles or redness with a concealer that matches your skin tone. Apply it sparingly and blend it well with your foundation. Use a cream blush in a natural shade to add a subtle flush to your cheeks. Dab a small amount on the apples of your cheeks and blend it out towards your hairline. Finish with a sheer lip balm or tint in a natural shade to add a hint of color to your lips.
