Even beauty experts can be fooled.

Gwyneth Paltrow had an awkward on-set moment with Timothée Chalamet after mistaking his “Marty Supreme” makeup for real skin concerns.

The Goop founder, 53, revealed on Tuesday’s episode of “The Run-Through with Vogue” podcast that she didn’t realize the pockmarks on Chalamet’s face were faux while filming the upcoming ping-pong drama.

“In ‘Marty Supreme,’ Timothée has pockmarks, and they made his eyes beady with contacts and glasses,” Paltrow explained. “And it’s all makeup.”

When Chalamet, 29, commented on his appearance during filming, Paltrow jumped at the opportunity to share her wellness wisdom. “I was like, ‘Oh, you know, you can do microneedling for that,’” she recalled, laughing.

The “Dune” actor quickly set her straight. “And he’s like, ‘This is makeup!’ I was like, ‘Oh, s–t.’ I didn’t realize,” the actress admitted. “The makeup was so good that I thought he had little acne scars.”

Paltrow praised the film’s makeup team for their realistic work transforming Chalamet for the role. She also clarified that her co-star has “beautiful skin” in real life, adding, “His skin in real life, you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh.’”

She reflected that she’s “never done anything like that where I’m really transformed in the face,” though viewers of her cringeworthy 2001 rom-com “Shallow Hal” — in which she wore a fat suit and prosthetics to play an obese woman — may beg to differ.

In “Marty Supreme,” Chalamet plays Marty Mauser, a character loosely based on 1950s table tennis champion Marty Reisman.

The A24 film, directed by Josh Safdie, follows the young ping-pong prodigy’s chaotic journey from shoe salesman to global champion in 1950s New York City.

Paltrow stars opposite Chalamet as Kay Stone, a married movie star and love interest. The Oscar winner previously teased Vanity Fair in March that she and Chalamet have “a lot” of sex scenes together in the film, calling the experience “beyond” vulnerable.

The movie hits theaters on Dec. 25.

Naked Skin | Πώς θα πετύχεις το δημοφιλές make-up trend

Naked Skin | Πώς θα πετύχεις το δημοφιλές make-up trend

admin 0 Comments

Το δημοφιλές trend μακιγιάζ παραμένει κυρίαρχο στα fashion shows. Δημιούργησε την τέλεια γυμνή επιδερμίδα με έξυπνες κινήσεις και προϊόντα.


Το φυσικό μακιγιάζ και τα nude looks που αναδεικνύουν την επιδερμίδα έχουν την τιμητική τους και αυτή τη σεζόν. Μπορεί να φαίνεται απλό ένα natural make-up look, όμως απαιτεί γνώση και τεχνική προκειμένου να έχεις επιδερμίδα που μοιάζει εντελώς φυσική, αλλά είναι αψεγάδιαστη, ομοιόμορφη και λαμπερή. Δες μερικά χρηστικά tips που θα σε βοηθήσουν να έχεις το τέλειο naked skin.

•    Προετοίμασε το έδαφος: Η φυσικά λαμπερή και λεία επιδερμίδα ξεκινά με τη σωστή περιποίηση και δε βασίζεται στην κάλυψη των ατελειών. Πριν προχωρήσεις στο μακιγιάζ, χρειάζεται να ενυδατώσεις σε βάθος το δέρμα σου και να απλώσεις ένα primer που θα διευκολύνει την ομοιόμορφη εφαρμογή των προϊόντων που θα ακολουθήσουν.  Επίλεξε το primer ανάλογα με τις δικές σου ανάγκες. Αν το δέρμα σου είναι ξηρό, θέλεις μια βάση για λάμψη και ενυδάτωση. Αν, πάλι, είναι λιπαρό, χρειάζεσαι ένα primer με ματ αποτέλεσμα.

•    Μελέτησε την επιδερμίδα σου: Είναι αυτονόητο πως το τέλειο natural μακιγιάζ βασίζεται στη δημιουργία μιας αψεγάδιαστης βάσης, αλλά αυτό δε σημαίνει πως αρκεί να εφαρμόσεις ένα foundation και είσαι έτοιμη. Πρέπει, πρώτα απ’ όλα, να παρατηρήσεις την επιδερμίδα σου, να καταλήξεις στο ποια είναι η απόχρωσή της και ποιοι οι υποτόνοι της και μετά να αναζητήσεις τα κατάλληλα προϊόντα. Αν, για παράδειγμα, έχεις σταρένιο δέρμα με ζεστούς υποτόνους, θα πρέπει να αποφύγεις τους ψυχρούς ή τους ροζ τόνους σε foundation, κονσίλερ ή ρουζ. Επιλέγοντας τα χρώματα που συμβαδίζουν απόλυτα με την επιδερμίδα σου, θα έχεις αμέσως ένα πιο φυσικό και αρμονικό αποτέλεσμα.

•    Εφάρμοσε το foundation επιλεκτικά: Δε χρειάζεται να δημιουργήσεις μια μάσκα που θα καλύπτει πλήρως την επιδερμίδα. Αφού βρεις τις σωστές αποχρώσεις foundation και κονσίλερ, χρησιμοποίησέ τα σε στρατηγικά επιλεγμένα σημεία ώστε να έχεις μια ομοιόμορφη βάση. Προτίμησε προϊόντα με ανάλαφρες buildable υφές, που μπορείς να εφαρμόσεις σε λεπτές στρώσεις μέχρι να έχεις το επιθυμητό αποτέλεσμα. Αν η επιδερμίδα σου δε χρειάζεται ιδιαίτερη κάλυψη, μπορείς να επιλέξεις μια ανάλαφρη ενυδατική κρέμα με χρώμα ή να μη φορέσεις καθόλου foundation και να περιοριστείς στη χρήση κονσίλερ για να καμουφλάρεις τυχόν ερυθρότητα, μαύρους κύκλους ή σημάδια. Άπλωσε το κονσίλερ με ένα μικρό πινέλο κατευθείαν στο σημείο που θέλεις να καλύψεις ή με τα δάχτυλα στην περιοχή κάτω από τα μάτια.

•    Μη φοβάσαι τη λάμψη: Το φυσικό είναι και φωτεινό, γι’ αυτό και στο naked look ταιριάζουν πάντα λίγο ρουζ και highlighter. Σημασία έχει να είναι διακριτικά και να ακο­λουθούν τους τόνους της επιδερμίδας. Προτίμησε κρεμώδεις υφές που γίνονται ένα με την επιδερμίδα και ξεκίνα με την εφαρμογή του ρουζ σε σημεία όπου θέλεις λάμψη, όπως τα ζυγωματικά, η ράχη της μύτης αλλά και το μέτωπο, και συνέχισε προσθέτοντας ελάχιστο highlighter στα ίδια σημεία. Ολοκλήρωσε με ένα ανάλαφρο στρώμα διάφανης πούδρας για σταθερότητα και διάρκεια στο look σου.

Διαβάστε Επίσης

•    Τόνισε το βλέμμα: Ένα φυσικό μακιγιάζ δεν περιλαμβάνει πολύχρωμες σκιές, smokey eyes ή έντονα eyeliners. Παρ’ όλα αυτά, τα μάτια πρέπει να έχουν την απαραίτητη έμφαση. Ξεκίνα δίνοντας σχήμα στα φρύδια σου και γεμίζοντας τυχόν κενά με ένα μολύβι ή μια σκιά. Στη συνέχεια ανάδειξε με το ειδικό ψαλίδι τις βλεφαρίδες σου και πέρασε μερικές στρώσεις μάσκαρα –μαύρη αν είσαι μελαχρινή ή καστανή και καφέ αν είσαι ξανθιά– για όγκο και μήκος. Οι σκιές δεν είναι απαραίτητες και, αν τις χρησιμοποιήσεις, θα πρέπει να είναι σε διακριτικές γήινες αποχρώσεις. Το σημείο όπου έχει νόημα να προσθέσεις ελάχιστη σκιά σε ανοιχτό λαμπερό τόνο είναι η εσωτερική γωνία του ματιού για να χαρίσεις έξτρα φως στο βλέμμα.

•    Δώσε όγκο στα χείλη: Σε ένα naked look οι σκούρες και έντονες αποχρώσεις κραγιόν δεν έχουν καμία θέση. Ο πρωταγωνιστής του μακιγιάζ σου είναι η επιδερμίδα και αυτή πρέπει να αναδεικνύεται. Ένα balm ή ένα lip oil σε ουδέτερη απόχρωση είναι ιδανικά για να προσδώσουν διακριτική λάμψη στα χείλη και να τους προσθέσουν όγκο και άνεση. Αν θέλεις οπωσδήποτε κραγιόν, τότε προτίμησε ένα σε ανοιχτές nude ή γήινες αποχρώσεις και με ενυδατική κρεμώδη σύνθεση και απόφυγε εντελώς τις πολύ ματ υφές, ώστε να έχεις ένα πιο φωτεινό και φυσικό αποτέλεσμα.

How to ace a dewy makeup look: A step-by-step guide to radiant, fresh-faced glow

How to ace a dewy makeup look: A step-by-step guide to radiant, fresh-faced glow

admin 0 Comments

Dewy makeup has become one of the most sought-after beauty looks in recent years. It is fresh, youthful, and radiant look gives the impression of healthy, well-hydrated skin. Although doing dewy makeup appears effortless, achieving a luminous finish requires the right combination of skincare, perfect products, and application techniques. Whether you want a subtle, everyday glow or a high-shine, editorial finish, here’s a complete guide to mastering dewy makeup.

Get dewy makeup look with these tips(AI-Generated)

How to get dewy makeup look

Follow these skincare steps to get glowing skin, followed by dewy makeup tips:

1. Start with skin prep:

A dewy look begins long before makeup touches your face. The key is creating a smooth, hydrated base to add that glowy touch. According to dermatologist Dr Madhuri Agarwal, Founder and Medical Director of Yavana Skin and Hair Clinic, “Achieving dewy, glowing skin requires a focused and well-planned skincare approach. Start by identifying your skin concerns and consulting a dermatologist to build a simple yet effective routine that includes a cleanser, chemical exfoliant, targeted serums, and sunscreen. These products can be customised based on your skin’s needs.”

Cleanse gently: Use a non-stripping cleanser to avoid drying out your skin. Dewy makeup sits best on supple skin, not tight or over-cleansed skin.

Exfoliate regularly: Dullness is often caused by dead skin buildup. A gentle chemical exfoliant—like lactic acid or a mild AHA—removes that layer and reveals fresher skin beneath. Avoid harsh scrubs that can cause irritation, which can disrupt a luminous finish.

Hydrate deeply: Use a hydrating serum with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or niacinamide to plump the skin. Follow with a moisturiser that suits your skin type. Even oily skin needs moisture for a dewy look; choose a lightweight gel formula if you’re prone to shine.

Apply a natural-finish sunscreen: Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is non-negotiable. Opt for a dewy or satin-finish sunscreen to enhance your glow instead of mattifying it.

2. Use primer for glow

Primers help makeup apply more smoothly and also influence the finish. For a dewy look, select a radiance-boosting primer with light-reflecting particles or hydrating ingredients. Apply a primer to the high points of your face, the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, and the chin, to enhance the natural glow.

If you have combination skin, you can use two primers: a hydrating primer on dry areas and a mattifying one on the T-zone to prevent excessive shine.

3. Choose the right foundation

The foundation you pick will make or break the dewy look. Heavy, matte formulas tend to emphasise texture and dryness, while light, hydrating bases give the skin a natural sheen.

Opt for these types of products:

  • A tinted moisturiser for a barely-there glow
  • Skin tints for sheer, breathable coverage
  • Dewy-finish foundations with light-reflecting ingredients

Apply foundation with a damp sponge or fingers; both techniques help the product melt seamlessly into the skin. For the most radiant finish, avoid heavy powdering; embrace the skin’s natural sheen.

4. Conceal strategically

Instead of covering your entire face, conceal only where needed: under the eyes, around the nose, or over blemishes. Use a creamy, hydrating concealer rather than a matte one. Blend well so it appears seamless and skin-like. This targeted approach keeps the complexion looking fresh instead of overdone.

5. Liquid and cream products are your best friends

Dewy makeup is all about products that enhance your skin’s natural luminosity. Powder products can dull the sheen, so opt for cream or liquid formulas.

Cream blush: Choose shades that mimic a natural flush—soft pinks, peaches, and warm corals. Apply to the apples of your cheeks and blend upward toward the temples.

Cream bronzer or contour: Look for balmy or gel-cream formulas that add warmth without texture. Apply lightly and blend to avoid harsh lines.

Liquid highlighter: Focus on the high points: cheekbones, brow bone, Cupid’s bow, and the bridge of the nose. For a subtle glow, mix a drop into your foundation or moisturiser.

6. Minimal Powder

While the goal is to glow, you don’t want to look greasy. Instead of dusting powder all over, apply a small amount only where needed. Apply it around the nose, under the eyes, and at the centre of the forehead. Use a finely milled, translucent powder and a light hand. The goal is to control shine, not eliminate the dewy effect.

7. Set with a dewy mist

Finish your makeup with a hydrating setting spray. These mists lock in makeup while boosting radiance. They prevent powder from looking cakey and help all layers melt together.

At the end, dewy makeup celebrates natural skin; hydrated, luminous, and full of life. With the right prep, glowing base products, and thoughtful finishing touches, you can achieve the radiant look, whether for everyday wear or a special event. Focus on hydration, choose creamy formulas, and remember: glow comes from within, and makeup simply enhances it.

Beyond makeup: Lifestyle tips for dewy skin

Apart from these makeup tips, Dr Agarwal adds that in-clinic dermatological treatments can help address deeper concerns and improve overall skin tone and texture. She suggests a healthy diet, going to bed early, and drinking enough water every day. Staying hydrated supports liver function and helps regulate hormones.

She also recommends incorporating regular exercise and stress-relieving practices into your routine. “One of the simplest ways to boost your natural glow is through proper breathing and mindfulness. Meditation and yoga poses like Pranayama and Anulom Vilom help improve blood circulation and reduce stress.”

Makeup Expert Namrata Soni Disagrees With 10-Step Skincare Routine, Says ‘You’re Just Adding Sweat’ | Beauty News

Makeup Expert Namrata Soni Disagrees With 10-Step Skincare Routine, Says ‘You’re Just Adding Sweat’ | Beauty News

admin 0 Comments

Last Updated:November 27, 2025, 11:55 IST

Namrata Soni shares why it’s important to start a skincare routine at a certain age and explains why the popular ten-step beauty regimen isn’t practical in India.

Makeup artist Namrata Soni gets candid about skincare and beauty treatments

Celebrity makeup expert Namrata Soni has reignited the conversation around modern beauty standards, emphasising that global skincare trends don’t always align with Indian skin types and climate conditions.

During a discussion with ANI, she reflected on the changing expectations within the beauty industry and touched upon the widespread influence of Botox, fillers and digital filters in shaping today’s ideas of “flawless” skin.

Soni explained that India’s high humidity levels, combined with daily lifestyle factors, make elaborate multi-step routines impractical for many people. Sharing her professional perspective, she said, “We live in a country where the 10-step skincare routine does not work because we have a lot of humidity. So that means after step one itself, you’re perspiring. Imagine you’re putting that on, then you’re sweating, then you’re putting on another. So you’re like literally putting sweat between each layer of your skin. It’s crazy. Just keep it simple. Cleanser, moisturiser, sunscreen and eye cream at night. That’s all you need.”

Influence of Filters, Botox and Cosmetic Procedures on Beauty Expectations

Soni further pointed out how social media’s filtered perfection and accessible cosmetic procedures have reshaped what is now considered “normal” or “ideal” skin. According to her, the pressure to always appear camera-ready has increased significantly.

Addressing the impact of these technological and cosmetic enhancements, she stated, “We live in a world of Botox and fillers and surgeries. It’s so easy with lasers and CO2 to have that kind of skin today.”

Why Indians Age Differently: Soni Explains The Role Of Elasticity And Melanin

Soni also highlighted that Indian skin, which naturally contains more melanin and elasticity, often ages more slowly compared to Western skin types. Because of this, she believes that starting a skincare routine too early is unnecessary and can even be counterproductive.

She clarified her stance, noting, “Mid-20s is when you start a skincare routine. I mean, people have started at 16 and 14, which I don’t understand. I don’t understand girls going to Sephora and buying skincare at 14 and 16. But I would say like 23, 24. And it does not have to be a crazy routine. It just could be an amazing moisturiser meant for your skin type and a lip balm and a sunscreen.”

Creating Netra Mantena’s Royal Bridal Look in Udaipur

Most recently, Namrata Soni crafted the breathtaking bridal look of Netra Mantena, daughter of Orlando-based billionaires Padmaja and Rama Raju Mantena. Netra tied the knot with Vamsi Gadiraju, co-founder of Superorder, in a lavish wedding celebration held in Udaipur. Soni crafted a delicate yet regal makeup look that highlighted Netra’s natural beauty while perfectly complementing her striking red lehenga.

Namrata Soni’s Journey: From Industry Challenges To A Celeb Favourite

Renowned for her refined techniques, signature soft-glam looks and dedication to her craft, Namrata Soni has built an impressive career working with some of Bollywood’s biggest names – Sonakshi Sinha, Sonam Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Twinkle Khanna and more.

In another conversation with ANI, she opened up about the initial hurdles she faced while entering a field that was once predominantly male-driven. Despite the challenges, she succeeded with the encouragement of leading stars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and Karan Johar, who recognised her talent early in her journey.

Over the years, Soni has earned multiple accolades, including the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. She also secured an IIFA Award for her acclaimed ageing makeup work in Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic film Om Shanti Om.

10-step Routine Does Not Work: Celebrity Makeup Artist Namrata Soni’s Hot Take on Modern Skincare Trends

admin 0 Comments

Celebrity makeup artist Namrata Soni sparked a vital conversation on modern-day beauty standards, stressing that India’s weather conditions, lifestyles, and skin types may have made the much-followed “10-step skincare routine” unsuitable for many people. 
In a conversation with ANI, Namrata, while reflecting on the industry’s evolving expectations, also mentioned the rise of “botox and filters”. 
“We live in a country where the 10-step skincare routine does not work because we have a lot of humidity. So that means after step one itself, you’re perspiring. Imagine you’re putting that on, then you’re sweating, then you’re putting on another. So you’re like literally putting sweat between each layer of your skin. It’s crazy. Just keep it simple. Cleanser, moisturiser, sunscreen, and eye cream at night. That’s all you need,” Namrata said. 
Noting that heavy filter culture has created pressure on people to constantly appear flawless, Namrata added, “We live in a world of Botox and fillers and surgeries. It’s so easy with lasers and CO2 to have that kind of skin today.”
She emphasised how Indians with a lot of elasticity and melatonin in their skin don’t face the quick wrath of ageing, which she explained requires women to start a proper skincare routine from their mid-20s. 
“Mid-20s is when you start a skincare routine. I mean, people have started at 16 and 14, which I don’t understand. I don’t understand girls going to Sephora and buying skincare at 14 and 16. But I would say like 23, 24. And it does not have to be a crazy routine. It just could be an amazing moisturiser meant for your skin type and a lip balm, and a sunscreen,” she said.
A renowned makeup artist, Namrata Soni, is known for working alongside several Bollywood celebrities like Sonakshi Sinha, Rani Mukerji, Sonam Kapoor, Twinkle Khanna, and others.
In the most recent, Namrata also created the stunning bridal look for Netra Mantena.

"Mistletoe Makeup" Is Winter's Soft & Flirty Beauty Trend

“Mistletoe Makeup” Is Winter’s Soft & Flirty Beauty Trend

admin 0 Comments

It’s cuffing season — you know, the time when even your most man-hating friend is suddenly shacked up (she’ll 100% blame it on the cold weather). But if you haven’t already secured your designated winter cuddle partner, don’t write off your Hallmark ending just yet. Enter: mistletoe makeup, the flirtiest holiday beauty trend that’s basically manifesting a meet-cute for you.

Mistletoe glam swaps out the usual metallic lids and razor-sharp wings for a cozier, more romantic winter vibe — or, as celebrity makeup artist Christian Briceno describes it, “intimate, flushed, and a little mischievous.” Think touchable dewy skin, a hint of micro-shimmer on the eyes, draped red or pink blush, and lips that suggest you’ve definitely been up to something.

The result lands in the sweet spot between “I’m cold” cheeks and a just-been-kissed pout. Everything should feel soft, warm, and a little blurry — like imagining yourself through the rose-tinted glasses of someone falling in love. No wonder mistletoe makeup is becoming the unofficial beauty uniform of holiday situationships.

The “Mistletoe Makeup” Breakdown

Say goodbye to your brushes. This trend is all about lived-in color, applied with your fingers. And, according to Briceno, that starts at the cheeks.

“Red blush gives the most believable ‘I just came in from the cold’ flush,” says Briceno. His go-tos? Rare Beauty’s Grateful, Saie’s Spicy, and Mineral Fusion’s Berry Glow. But if your vibe is more cozy than windswept, he suggests reaching for a pink pigment — like Dior’s 001 Pink or Rose Inc’s Hibiscus — instead.

The one non-negotiable here? Blush placement. Briceno emphasizes “keeping it high on the cheeks and slightly across the nose bridge.” Cream and liquid formulas seal the deal as they melt into the skin and make everything look naturally flushed.

While the cheeks set the mood, your lips are the main character. And, yes, Briceno says you can absolutely use liner with a blurred lip — you just have to rethink it.

Pick a liner one shade deeper than your natural lip tone, sketch slightly inside your natural border, and tap outward until the shape looks softly melted. “The key is diffusion,” he says, “The lips should look bitten rather than painted on.” To finish, lightly dab on a velvety matte formula and repeat the blotting process to diffuse the pigment. The goal isn’t glossy — it’s smudged, like a suggestive wink that someone may have stolen a bit of your lip product.

Keep the rest of the makeup minimal, using a lightweight skin tint and soft-focus finish. Go without eyeliner for this one, and use mascara sparingly. Just a dash of translucent shimmer across the lids is more than enough to get (and keep) their attention.

The Soft & Flirty Aesthetic

Holiday glam normally goes big with metallic lids, dramatic wings, and carved-out cheekbones. But mistletoe makeup is demure. “The shine is subtle, the edges are blurred, and the skin looks alive rather than highlighted,” says Briceno. It channels the innocence of a first kiss — like “shy girl” blush, but for the person who gets excited talking to their crush.

Plus, thanks to the season’s obsession with monochrome tones, the whole look feels approachable, wearable, and quietly magnetic.

Clearly, mistletoe makeup is designed to draw people in, not show off. And honestly? The only issue will be finding enough mistletoe to go around.
