One of the hottest actresses in Bollywood, Katrina Kaif opens up her beauty bag to share all the products she can't live without and the beauty routines she follows religiously, but says the real secret behind her fresh, luminous looks is being 'natural'.- What's your makeup routine?
There is no makeup 'routine'… When I am not shooting, I prefer to stay away from any embellishments. But yes, I always keep bare essentials, such as lip balm, at hand. - And for the big night out?
I don't use a heavy hand while doing makeup but I do pay a little more attention to my eyes when it's a big night. Doing up your eyes well makes you look fresh and alive. - What are your favorite products?
I don't have any favorites. What matters to me is that the product has to be from a reputed company. There has to be a certain amount of credibility. I feel that even if it may work out a bit more expensive, it's worth it. - What's your favorite perfume?
When I shop for perfumes (invariably in duty-free stores, while I'm traveling), I check out the new fragrances and pick up whatever catches my fancy me wearing makeup from morning to evening. Even if your lifestyle doesn't necessarily involve makeup, it's very important to use a good cleanser to remove the day's grime. Another well-known trick is to consume the right amount of water-it keeps your skin glowing.
KATRINA'S FAVORITES
- How do you keep your hair looking so good?
My hair suffers quite a bit, thanks to the number of products that are used during shoots to style it. I try and take care of it by using serums or going for a hair spa. I get my hair trimmed from a good hairdresser once a month. In Mumbai, I go to Asif Rajan, Dilshad Pastakia or Sapna Bhavnani. - Do you have a special diet?
I'm not sure if you could call it a 'diet' but I do try and eat right. When I say eat right, I mean eating the right foods, in right quantities, at the right time. If you follow this mantra, you're sure to be not just in better shape but also feel much healthier from within. - What's your DIY beauty routine?
The only one I adhere to religiously is 'take off your makeup' before you hit the bed. It helps tremendously! - One simple trick that makes you look fabulous?
The way you look, honestly, has a lot to do with how you feel. When you are calm within, the smile naturally comes easier on the face.
Fragrances are a must for Priyanka. Is it the lipstick, cream, mascara, hair color or foundation? Or is it her infectious smile that lights up her face and brings a sparkle to her eyes? Priyanka opens up about beauty routines, favorite products and how she always looks fabulous.- What is your daily makeup and beauty routine?
Cleanse, tone and moisturize-nothing works better for me. As an actor, I'm required to wear a lot of makeup, whether it's for films, photo-shoots or appearances. So when I'm not working, my routine is very basic. The things that I carry with me at all times are my Pond's Perfect Results Multi-Benefit Cream and M.A.C Studio Fix. - And what about the big night out?
When I'm not making a public appearance, I use absolutely minimal makeup and spice it up with eyeliner, blush and lipstick. I slip on a sexy short dress and high heels, and I'm set!
- Any favorite perfumes?
Smelling good is a must, no matter where you are or what you're doing. My current preference is Dolce & Gabbana The One, but my all time favorite is Ralph Lauren Romance. - How do you take care of your flawless skin?
Quite simple-cleanse, tone and moisturize. On my days off, I don't do much; I just allow my skin to breathe. I also drink lots of water and never forget my multi-vitamins. I think it's important to pamper your skin as often as you can. My crazy schedule doesn't allow me the luxury very often, but I try and get in a facial whenever possible.
- What do you do for your hair?
Because of my profession, my hair is battered and abused. Given the trauma I put my hair through, I give it extra care. I oil my hair regularly and condition it as well. I trim my hair once in about two months or as and when I feel the need. I have different hairstylists for various films, but primarily they are Minal Sharma and Kanta Motwani.
PRIYANKA'S FAVORITES
- Any favorite hair products?
Anything that is Sunsilk. - Do you have a special diet to stay so slim?
It's called good genetics and a great metabolism. Honestly, I am a complete foodie and a junk-a-holic. Diets don't work for me. I try and eat healthy most of the time but also don't stop myself from eating what I feel like, whether it's a pepperoni pizza or aloo paratha! - One simple trick that makes you fabulous?
Comfort, and knowing what suits you- the fit, style and look-whether it's hair, clothes or makeup. What are you buying for this season? I never have an agenda. I just pick up what I like.
