♥ ~ Happy Birthday Rekha ~ ♥
"No one can know the real Rekha, because the real Rekha lies somewhere in her fantasy" ~ Simi Garewal.
Today is our very own Indian beauty icon, Rekha's birthday. She turns 56 today, but the diva in her has not withered at all.
She's glamorous, classy and always very composed. Her tactfulness when talking about the difficult life she's had is admirable.
My favorite movie of hers is 'Khoon Bhari Maang' among some others too :)

Here is my attempt ((in a jiffy) to look A BIT like her...

Here's another one. Same makeup and everything except for a few changes here and there. Although I should have applied a bit more brown eyeshadow on my bottom lash line. Used sindoor for the first time in my life, and it got SO messy I couldn't shape it on the hairline and it smudged on my nose too =D
*The nose ring is a sticker =D
Make-up Tips To Look Like Rekha:
- Unique brows. Her brows are never over-tweezed or rounded. They are almost straight with just a slight arch.
- Feline eyes ~ White eyeliner on waterline, Black eyeliner on top lash line, falsies, contact lenses sometimes (Grey, hazel)
- Pouty Lips. Almost always with dark lips: Red, brown, burgundy, her lips always stand out. Use a lip liner and line a little outside your lips to make them appear fuller.
- Beauty spot. Her most famous trademark on her left upper lip, although sometimes it is seen on the right side. I used L'oreal Super Liner Carbon Gloss coz it has a stiff pointy brush for control, and then I patted a bit of medium brown matte eyeshadow on top.

ReplyDeleterekha fan ? *raises hand* I love rekha, i love watching her movies like muqadar ka sikandar , umrao jaan( how gorgeous she looked in this movie, and her jewellery was to die for* , natwar laal ( love love this song pardesiya ) , there are so many more, she is such a beautiful elegant woman, ( although she has so many plastic surgeries but still) my dad loved rekha back in 1980's lol, he even had her posted mounted :P
