Freida Pinto has been making Paris considerably more adorable this week, holding hands with cutie boyfriend Dev Patel at the fashion shows and taking to the streets in a variety of sweet outfits. At the Louis Vuitton show, her makeup was the standout part of her ensemble. It was subtle, but it gave her a gorgeous glow and played up her features perfectly. If you don't want to go darker in the chilly months ahead, this look is a delightful substitute. To find out how to do it yourself, just keep reading.
Eyes:
- Begin by water-lining eyes with an extremely fine-point black eyeliner, like L'Oreal Micro Liner in Black Point ($8.50). Then, apply several coats of an intense black mascara, like DiorShow Black Out Waterproof Mascara ($24).
- For your shadow, start with a primer like Victoria's Secret Lasting FX Eyeshadow Primer ($8) — there are a lot of layers you're going to need to keep in place here. Then apply a white base shade, like Origins Eyeshadow in White Gold ($14), from lash line to crease. Over that, dust a layer of aubergine shadow, like Bare Minerals Eyeshadow in Adventure ($13), just on the upper lid. (It makes brown and green eyes really pop.) Finish with a textured gold shadow, like Urban Decay's Metallic Glitter Eyeshadow in Maui Wowie ($16), applied almost the way you would cat-eye liquid liner: starting out thin near the inner eye, and getting thicker as you go out. Brush a little on the lower lid as well to brighten up tired eyes.
Lips and cheeks:
- For cheeks, begin by applying a stain in sheer pink-peach, like Tarte Cheek Stain in Blissful ($30), on the apples of your cheeks, and a little on your chin as well if you want to soften a strong jaw. Then, dust a thin layer of luminizing powder, like Guerlain Meteorites Finishing Powder ($53), along your hairline, jawline, cheeks, and down the bridge of your nose to get a softening glow in the areas light hits your face.
- For lips, start with a neutral pink lip pencil, like L'Oreal Colour Riche Lip Liner in All About Pink ($8.50). Then, apply a purply lip gloss, like Lancome Juicy Tubes Jelly in Hallucination ($18), and blend.

A little shiny, but beautiful all the time.
1it's a pretty simple look that compliments her well, but the foundation is way off! it's too pale for her tan complexion as you can see in her hairline and it just looks a bit chalky.
2I agree her foundation looks way too pale for her and not cute at all.
3i've seen a couple pictures of her w/ too-light foundation, and I wonder if it's mineral makeup that looks paler b/c of a camera flash? She seems like she would be stunning even w/o makeup.
4Eeek, no! Aside from the eye make-up, it's terrible! The ghost effect is the reason I don't wear foundation or powder
5she does look pretty but i agree that the foundation is way to light and isn't blended very well
6I agree with everyone else - she looks great but her foundation is completely the wrong color.
7Sorry, but I don't know this. What is water lining?
8water lining is when you apply eyeliner to your water line. the water line is the part of the lower eyelid that touches your eye right above the lower lashes.
9She's so pretty but she looks sickly with that powder or foundation.
10Yup, the foundation is way off. It's hard to find foundation for an Indian skin tone. I doubt this is mineral makeup. Mineral makeup comes close to natural but still makes us look darker.
11eep! correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's the SPF in the foundation that makes it look too white.
12she looks gorgeous...
13She's gorgeous. Her makeup...not so much. The natural glowing look is great, but her foundation is WHITE on her skin!!! How is this a great look to replicate??
14Yh, the foundation washes her out! The rest is Fab tho! =)
15COME AGAIN! you can clearly see its a mask of make up the foundations and stuff is white you can see her real sikn tone near her hair line that looks scary
16I hope it's not a lightening foundation, or she's using a lighter foundation on purpose. It's such a shame when people with lovely dark skin want to pale it out!
