‘Today I'm going to show you ki 5 minute mein…': Rakul Preet Singh walks us through her makeup routine
'Because bohot achhe se kaise karte hai ye toh bohot log dikhate hai, but I'm going to show you how to do it in just 5 minutes,' the actor is heard saying at the start.
First step, foundation. After your morning routine, take a nice brush and add two drops of your foundation. Apply it evenly all over your face. 'Make sure you don't miss your eye area,' she warned.
'Opt for hydrating foundations that provide a flawless, long-lasting finish, ensuring your skin looks radiant throughout the day despite the winter chill and dry air,' said Dheeraj Bansal, Co-Founder of Recode Studios.
Next, she applies a bit of under-eye concealer. While many people prefer using a sponge, Singh uses her finger to dab in and blend the product. 'I just find it easier to blend in with my fingers,' she said. After that, she takes a contour stick and swipes two thick lines on her cheeks and two parallel lines down her nose. 'This is my most favourite part because I love a chiselled look,' she added.

Muskan Jain, Brand Manager at MARS Cosmetics, said that the pursuit of a flawless, glowing complexion has inspired the ethereal skin trend, which allows real skin to peek through. 'Lightweight foundations and highlighters with dewy finishes became indispensable. This trend highlights how beauty is as much about texture and finish as it is about colour,' she added.
To even things out, she applies a layer of loose powder to set the cream products in place. Once the face is powdered and airbrushed, she takes her contouring brush to add a bit more depth and dimension to her face. For a quick look, she dabs some eyeshadow on her fingers and blends it in, also suggesting using her cream contour stick for a soft wash of colour.
'And if you are stepping out, you can put a little sheen,' she recommended, adding some blush on the apples of her cheeks. The second-to-last step of her routine includes a soft pink lipstick, and for the final step, she applies a light coat of mascara.
Dr Ritu Kashikar, founder of The Real Ritual, said that the right lipstick is the ultimate accessory, and choosing creamy, nourishing formulas designed to deliver smooth application, hydrating comfort, and all-day wear should be the key to unlock confidence. 'Whether you're going for a bold, statement lip or a subtle, natural finish, play around with shades of pink and berry tones for added Christmas cheer this holiday season,' she added.

Home Alone Reboot Would Be A 'Mistake', Says Director Chris Columbus
Last Updated: Home Alone director Chris Columbus thinks it would be a "mistake" to reboot the franchise, and that it should be left alone. Chris Columbus thinks it would be a 'mistake" to reboot Home Alone. The 66-year-old filmmaker directed the 1990 Christmas classic and its 1992 sequel Home Alone 2: Lost in New York – which were both written by John Hughes and starred Macaulay Culkin – and he believes it would be impossible to capture the magic of the films so far into the future. He told Entertainment Tonight: 'I think Home Alone really exists as, not at this timepiece, but it was this very special moment, and you can't really recapture that. I think it's a mistake to try to go back and recapture something we did 35 years ago. 'I think it should be left alone." His comment came after Macaulay recently teased potentially reprising his role as Kevin McCallister if the salary was right. But he said during a screening of the film and a Q+A session: 'I have ideas, but I don't have time to write anything with my two children." Following the first two movies, the Home Alone franchise continued with Home Alone 3 (1997), Home Alone 4 (2002), Home Alone: The Holiday Heist (2012) and Home Sweet Home Alone (2021), but with other child actors at the forefront. And in 2018, Ryan Reynolds was attached to produce an R-rated reboot for Fox titled Stoned Alone, but the project has not progressed. Meanwhile, Chris previously admitted he wished he could erase US President Donald Trump's cameo from Home Alone 2: Lose in New York, branding his appearance a 'curse". In an interview with the San Francisco Chronicle, he declared: 'I just wish it was gone. 'If I cut it, I'll probably be sent out of the country. I'll be considered sort of not fit to live in the United States, so I'll have to go back to Italy or something." The seven-second appearance by Trump came when Macaulay's character checked into the Plaza Hotel and asked a man in the lobby for directions, seemingly oblivious to the fact it was the then-owner of the facility. Trump gave a simple reply and walked off screen. In a 2020 interview with Business Insider, Chris said the future president 'bullied his way into the movie" after only allowing filming to take place at the hotel if he could have a cameo role. He said: 'We paid the fee, but he also said, 'The only way you can use the Plaza is if I'm in the movie'." However, Trump later claimed Chris had 'begged" him to be in the movie. He wrote on his Truth Social platform: 'I was very busy, and didn't want to do it. He added: 'They were very nice, but above all, persistent. I agreed, and the rest is history! That little cameo took off like a rocket… now, however, 30 years later, Columbus (what was his real name?) put out a statement that I bullied myself into the movie. Nothing could be further from the truth." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Take an intimate tour of cricketer Ben Stokes' family home in England
Ben Stokes might be known for hitting centuries and delivering game-changing spells, but at home, he's just Ben. A dad, a dog owner, and someone who's still figuring out where the TV remote went (hint: it's on his phone now). His house isn't some ultra-minimalist mansion. It's lived-in, and full of stories; from a snug where he kicks back to stream after training, to a memorabilia room packed with cricket history. There are puppies running around, toys scattered in the hallway, and a kitchen he and his wife, Clare, completely tore apart and redesigned to make it feel like theirs. 'We moved in back in 2017,' he says, 'and while it was already a great place, we really wanted to put our own stamp on it.' They've since built a full home media system, to a cinema room and even a dance studio for their daughter. Stokes is quick to point out the toys on the floor ('we've got two kids so there's mess everywhere—I'm not going to clean it up for you guys'), and proudly shows off a sleek new staircase they installed last summer. There's also a piece of modern art in the hallway—he admits they have no idea what it means, but says it 'goes quite well with the house.' The snug is where the family really unwinds. If Ben's wife, Clare, isn't in there, he's usually watching a stream. The couches are the kind you can just sink into, especially after a long night or a tough match. Fun fact: the room used to be rabbit-proofed, but after their pet rabbits sadly passed away, the dogs took over. Ben and Clare completely redid the kitchen after moving in. 'It was all the wrong way around,' he says. Now the space flows better, with more storage and a central island that actually makes sense. The house also has a full media system—no remote controls anywhere. Everything runs through their phones. The couple now has a house full of dogs, led by Shelby, their first pup, who recently had six ridiculously cute puppies. One of them, nicknamed Samson Jr., is already showing off some serious personality. 'We've got six, and we can only keep one. I don't know how I'm going to choose… Clare's going to have to do that.' The dining room is one of the calmest corners of the house. It's where they host Christmas dinners or hang out with friends and neighbours. No TV here, on purpose. Ben explains it's where they go to switch off from the world. Outside, there's a beautiful garden with a putting green (though it mostly collects leaves, he said). There's even a weather-proof outdoor TV, still working perfectly, much to Ben's amazement. If there's one room that really reflects who Ben Stokes is, it's the memorabilia room. From his first five-wicket haul to his World Cup final shirt (yes, still unwashed), each piece means something. There's even a stump from the 2015 Ashes win, only signed by 8 teammates because, as Ben puts it, 'There's only eight signatures on the stump, we'd obviously had enough booze that day that I forgot to get the others to sign it.' The home bar isn't just for drinks, it's part shrine for his trophies. The shelves are lined with unopened bottles of champagne from 'Man of the Match' awards and medals from a long and decorated career. There's even his old Sports Personality of the Year trophy (you get to keep it for a year, then get a replica). There's a gaming room too, complete with triple monitors, pro lighting, and a massive streaming setup. There's also a golf simulator, but Stokes clearly prefers cricket to clubs. The cinema room is equally impressive. Initially unsure about the design, the Stokes' have grown to love it. It's their go-to spot for family movie nights (once they restock the snacks). Upstairs is still a work in progress. But there's already a custom-built dance studio for daughter Libby, who's into gymnastics and cheer. Ben even put up the mirrors himself. The master bedroom is simple and elegant, with a high-end ensuite that features a no-handle door and a bathtub with a TV across from it. The dressing room has been fully remodelled too, his-and-hers sinks, custom shelves, and enough space for Clare's handbags and his sneakers. In late 2024, their family home was the scene of a break-in. While Ben was away, masked intruders broke in while Clare and their two children were inside. Among the items stolen: Ben's OBE medal and priceless memorabilia. Fortunately, no one was harmed, and an investigation is still ongoing.
