Choose what you wear according to your sunsign

EDITOR’S LETTER Hello Readers, As we write this, we are just recovering from a heady, stretched weekend that was dedicated to the Goddess of positive energies, the unvanquished and destroyer of evil, the captivating Durga. Speaking of captivating, did you get a chance to check out the new Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive collection that has been trending on Styletag? If you haven’t done that still, then click now to check out these haute couture offerings and gear up for the upcoming winter. We are hosting collections that are both high-end and pocket-friendly. Have a look, mix and match, and enjoy the chills.

Since the festive season is on us, we have given you a few tips on how to perfect your day and night makeup, as well as a day-to-night look to help you make an easy transition from casual chic to festive elegant.

The focus for our October issue is 5 Trendiest Bollywood Divas. We did a vaux pop to see who scored the highest on the fashion meter of 2535 year olds and realised that while some of the big-ticket actors such as Deepika and Anushka make the list (obviously!), there are others who might not be at the top of their movie game but dress to kill. And impress.

Who do you think are the best-dressed and the most stylish celebrities in the industry?

Deepika Padukone

rom sportsperson to model to actress to designer – there is nothing that she has not been giving a shake at! While she does all this well, what Deepika does even better is make heads turn with her ensembles.

While her red carpet appearances are mostly dramatic, off it, her appearances border on uber-casual and even geeky! This leggy lady is on the fashion high horse – and this one is headed in the right direction.

Neha Dhupia

T

he Ms India of yesteryears hasn’t had the highest running films to her name but she sure does has a high run with designers who are always keen on Ms Dhupia donning their creations. Why, you ask?

Because Neha Dhupia has an extremely strong experimental nerve in her body and this nerve makes her don attires that many would just aspire to but not get into.

Kangana Ranaut

his babe from the hills might not have mastered the art of gab or that of acting for that matter, but she sure is on the right spot for her fashion choices. She is one of those few women in the industry who are making bold and unconventional moves towards dressing themselves up – short bobs, spunky pop of neons, futuristic fashion, she’s doing them all and she’s doing them well. Now, how much of this is her or her stylist, we don’t know, but we are terribly inspired! Give us more, Kangana!

Anushka Sharma

he impresses you with her act, whether she is inside a film reel or off it. Anushka Sharma, by her own admission, is more ladette than a lady and embraces this quirky side with panache. So, while you will see her in a saree, hosting an award ceremony, you will also see her promptly do a tailored, sharp suit on the red carpet of the same ceremony, making heads turn with her Italian-mafia style of carrying something dangerous. Which, we’d think, would be her sartorial style. This girl looks no-fuss, a style statement loved by men. Hmm‌ fodder for thought!

Light kohl-rimmed eyes and a full mouth is your go-to for any daytime look. A base that looks effortless also goes a long way in helping you achieve that impeccable look. So, make a SPF waterproof foundation your best friend along with a concealer. With that oh-my-goodness canvas (your face) achieved, you are ready to go without much more ado.

A lot of us don’t have the luxury, the time, or simply the inclination to change makeup twice in a day.

Which is why, we bring you this easy lesson to transition from day to night and keep the eyeballs on you! Click away and let us know what you think.

This season, night makeup is all about a bright pop of colour on your lips which have names as pretty as cranberry, tangerine and cherry. Match this yumminess with smoked-out eyes in less dramatic yet colourful shadows.

Cheeks call for a nude rouge and finished with a strobe cream for that litfrom-within finish. Game, set, match.

WHO WORE WHAT

MTV VMA Awards 2013 are being spoken about fo which have mostly got to do with twerking and lolling. In the light of which, who-wore-what g neglected. Anyways, here we are, even if it’s Gaga looked demure (as compared to her other appearances). Sele sizzled in a one-breasted Versace. Swift brought in the old-world gla her bandage dress. Rihanna played it cool in BF denims and a tee with a choker. Cyrus channeled the 90s disco girl in a bejewelled Perry wore a loud animal-print dress with dentures. Now, what wa that?
