Hot Looks of 2009

1- The most popular looks of 2009...



2- Eyes: The smokey look was much in demand this year, with grey, dark brown, steely blue, purple and green being the favourite colours. Coloured eye pencils were also popular.




3- Lips: Bright metallic colours were in demand. Shades of red like cherry, rose and burgundy made a comeback. Women also sported a frosty sheen or shimmer on their lips. Lip liners matched the shade of the lipstick.




4- Gothic nails: At the beginning of 2009, matte colours such as black, burgundy and chocolate brown were the rage. The trend then moved towards more psychedelic hues - yellow, orange, shocking pink, sky blue and green.




5- Fringe benefits: Fringes came back with a bang. Side swept fringes also gained popularity. The layered look with a wavy finish worked for those with long hair.




6- For men, the refined school boy look with side fringes and short hair from the back and sides was a hit.




7- Retro-look eyelashes: Actress Bipasha Basu's look in Race sums up the trend - long, curled eyelashes touched up with extra volume mascara.




8- Hair colour: Rich natural brown and deep chocolate colours were hot hair colours. Highlights and low lights were the 'in' thing, with streaks being bolder in colour but fewer in number.




9- Shimmery skin: Foundation took backstage as light tinted moisturisers found popular favour, both for day and night use. The aim was to project a sheer, translucent look instead of a heavily made-up look.




10- Rumpled hair look: The 'Bob' look made a comeback. For short hair, the slightly tousled look was in fashion - not harsh or obviously structured, but careless and casually done up.




11- Back-combed hair also picked up steam.




12- Rosy cheeks: Alongwith the use of translucent foundation, a natural flushed look for the cheeks with just a hint of blush-on ruled the style charts in 2009.




13- Neutral, warm tones of powder blusher were in, with bronzed blushers becoming more popular towards the latter part of the year.

Classic Bob Cut Look

1- Actress Priyanka Chopra may have tried it to get rid of boredom, but her cropped new look is a hit with youngsters.



2- Back in fashion, the classic bob cut looks chic and glamorous. A skilled hairstylist can help one achieve this free-flowing, bouncy look with ease.



3- "Normally, short hairstyles that add width to the sides suit people with oval and long faces but it would suit a heart-shaped face if the hairstyle plays down the chin. A square-shaped face person can try the classic bob with the ends coming forward and covering the jaw," says hair expert Shahnaz Husain.



4- But if you have a heavy back or a cervical bump, then avoid the cut as it'll make the back portion look heavier. A skilled hairdresser can make special additions to the hairstyle to compliment any face shape. For example, fringes or wisps matching the face shape can add oodles of glamour to a simple style.



5- While colour adds glamour, a change of parting gives a complete new look. Try hair bands in metallic and diamond hues for a casual look.



6- "Those who have wavy or curly hair can maintain a slightly tousled look to appear trendy. A diamante barrette can be worn on a formal or gala evening. Putting up one side of the hair with hair accessories can also look attractive," says Husain.
