If there’s one actress who is ageing like fine wine, it has to be Sushmita Sen. The Bollywood star who celebrates her 45th birthday today seems to have discovered the fountain of youth because she still looks as fit and gorgeous as she did more than a decade ago.

When it comes to her hair and makeup, the former Miss Universe prefers elegant and minimal looks to enhance her beauty, and there are definitely a few beauty lessons we’ve learned from the diva. Here are some Sushmita-approved beauty tips that can make you look gorgeous like the actress.

 

Pink pout

Never underestimate the power of a pink pout. No matter what your age, don’t shy away from wearing bright and pretty shades of lipstick. Pink, red and wine can instantly give you a quick makeover and take years off your face.

Even when you decide to wear no makeup at all, don’t forget to fill in your brows. Not a fan of bushy brows? No problem! Take cues from Sushmita’s arched and long brows that lift her face and turn her into the gorgeous diva that she is!

Celebrities and models always carry mascara in their bags. For one simple reason - it makes you look awake and younger. Sush is never spotted sans mascara. Two coats of it can give your lashes an instant lift and take the focus away from sunken and tired looking eyes.

Need to perk up your complexion? Blend a little bit of blush on the apples of your cheeks like Sushmita. Use a shade close to your natural skin tone to get naturally flushed cheeks. A subtle nude blush will also contour your face and give you well sculpted cheeks.
