Make-up Trend: Violet Lip Stain

On the latest issue of Elle India, Lakshmi Menon transformed into a beach goddess. Take the violet lip shade she sported on location for the cover. Makeup artist Clint Fernandes applies champagne and bronze shadows around the star's eyes and contoured her face with a pearlescent shimmer before adding the finishing touch. "I blended a violet stain on her cheeks and her lips," said Clint. The effect? A modern version of I'm wearing make-up, but not really.
