On the occasion of her birthday, we thought we'll share with you four of her best make-up looks that you're absolutely going to love. These looks are mesmerising, easy to recreate and could be worn by each one of us for various occasions. Read on to find out what these looks are and how to recreate them.

1. The 'No Make-up' Make-up Look

What you need

  • Moisturiser
  • Toner
  • Tinted moisturiser/ BB cream
  • Soft pink cream blush
  • Nude eyeshadow
  • Eyelash curler
  • Mascara
  • Soft pink lipstick
  • Lip gloss/lip balm
  • Fluffy eyeshadow brush
  • Setting spray
  • Steps to recreate the look
  • Start with prepping your skin. Apply moisturiser on your face and give it a few minutes to get properly absorbed into your face.
  • Now apply the lip balm or lip gloss.
  • Take some toner on a cotton pad and apply it all over your face.
  • Now, dot some tinted moisturiser on your face and blend it in with your fingertips. Alternatively, you can also use a BB cream to even out your face.
  • If you have dark circles under your eyes, take a small amount of tinted moisturiser or BB cream and apply it under your eyes. Blend well using your fingertips.
  • Take some blush on your fingertips and apply it on your cheekbones to add that natural flush to your face.
  • Moving to the eyes, take a nude eyeshadow that is similar to your skin tone and apply it all over your lid and blend well. For a more natural look, use a cream eyeshadow instead of a powder one.
  • Curl your eyelashes and apply a light coat of mascara.
  • To finish it off apply the lipstick. Ensure that the lip shade is soft and a shade or two darker than your skin tone.
  • Spritz some setting spray on your face for the make-up to last whole day long.

2. The Smokey Eye Look

What you need

  • Moisturiser
  • Primer
  • Illuminating foundation
  • Concealer
  • Baby pink blush
  • Bronzer
  • Eyebrow pencil
  • Black eyeliner
  • Maroon eyeshadow
  • Coffee brown eyeshadow
  • Silver eyeshadow
  • Silver highlighter
  • Pinkish beige lipstick
  • Mascara
  • Beauty blender
  • Spoolie
  • Fluffy eyeshadow brush
  • Setting powder
  • Setting spray

Steps to recreate the look

  • Start with moisturising the face. Apply the moisturiser on your face and let it sink for a couple of minutes.
  • Apply the primer next on the T-zone of your face and blend it in using dabbing motions. Allow it to get absorbed into your skin for a few minutes.
  • Apply the foundation on your face and blend it in using a damp beauty blender. This helps to provide an even tone to your face.
  • To conceal the dark circles under your eyes, apply the concealer on the under-eye area and blend it in using the same damp beauty blender.
  • Follow it immediately with some setting powder. Never skip the setting powder or your concealer will start to crease after a few minutes.
  • Use the bronzer to bronze up your forehead and contour your cheekbones and jawline.
  • Apply the blush on your cheekbones ever so slightly. Blend well.
  • Use the eyebrow pencil to define and fill in your eyebrows. Brush a spoolie through your eyebrows afterwards.
  • Moving to your eyes, apply some concealer all over your lid and blend it in. This works as your eyeshadow base. Now take the maroon eyeshadow on a fluffy brush and apply it all over your lid. Blend well at the edges. Drag the eyeshadow to your lower lash line.
  • Now take the brown eyeshadow and apply it over the maroon eyeshadow. Blend well at the edges to prevent any harsh lines. Drag this eyeshadow to the lower lash line as well.
  • Thickly line your upper lash line using the black eyeliner.
  • Line your lower lash line as well.
  • Apply the silver eyeshadow to the inner corner of your eyes.
  • Apply the mascara on your eyelashes. Wait for it to dry down before moving in with another coat of mascara.
  • Highlight your cheekbones, the tip and bridge of your nose and your cupid's bow using the highlighter.
  • Finish the look by applying lipstick on your face.
  • Spritz some setting spray on your face to set the make-up in place and make it last the whole day.
