Celebs are a good source for inspiration when it comes to style. We get a beauty expert to show you how to steal your fav diva’s look and make a splash at college.

*Sonam Kapoor’s Plain Jane look from I Hate Luv Storys

You will need: Curling tongs, shampoo, conditioner, mousse, compact, blusher, black eye pencil and nude lipstick / plain gloss.
(See Beauty Kit for recommendations)

Here’s how:

Shampoo and condition your tresses and pat-dry them thoroughly. Now, take some mousse and apply it evenly on your hair. Let the hair dry naturally and curl up the ends using the tongs.
Now, dab some compact on your face and let it set for a few minutes. You could also apply a thin coat of nude blusher. Suck in your cheeks and stain only the apples.
Line your eyes with a thin eye pencil; make sure you stay away from thick kohl for this look.
For your lips, go for any nude shade or a dab of transparent lip gloss.
Team the look with miniskirts, spaghetti tops, big bangles, colourful earrings. You’re sure to make heads turn!

*Vidya Balan’s Boho Avatar from Paa

You will need: Lots of rubber bands, a glossy lipstick, coloured contact lenses, kohl for eyes.

Here’s how:

Girls with beautiful long hair could braid their hair with the help of several rubber bands. You could do a typical French braid or make twists from both the sides joining it at the back into the main plait.
Enhance your lips with a glossy lipstick and put on contact lenses to change your look completely.
Define your eyes with a dark kohl pencil and leave the cheeks nude.
Accessorise the look with lots of junk jewellery and you are ready to hit the street!

*Deepika’s Classy Corporate look from Karthik Calling Karthik

You will need: A new haircut, kajal pencil and lip gloss.

Here’s how:

For a corporate look, the make-up should never be overpowering. Therefore, stick to a dash of lip gloss on your pout and a thin line of kajal.
Your hairstyle can add a lot of confidence to your face. If it’s not a neat bun or a high pony tail, you could chop off the hair up to your shoulder level. Always keep your hair clean and fragrant.

*Kareena Kapoor’s Bindass Babe look from 3 Idiots

You will need: Hair straightening tongs, blusher, mascara, eye-shadow, lipstick in bold colours.

Here’s how:

Straighten your hair using the tongs. Girls with naturally straight hair should opt for a forward graduation cut.
Enhance your eyes with lots of eye make-up. You could apply an eye-shadow to go with your clothes. Highlight the eyelashes with some mascara.
Use blusher on the apples of your cheek to create high cheek bones.
Complete the look with lipstick in colours such as pink, peach or mauve.
