Drape yourself in an Indian sari. It should be a rich colorful hue that has decorative accents such as beading or sequins.
Adorn your skin with gold body jewels. Rhinestones work well as an alternative. To apply, grab each individual jewel with a pair of scissors and dip it into eyelash glue. Stick these onto your body one by one. You might choose to place the attachments on your forehead, near the hairline or down your arms.
Choose deep, earth-toned eye shadows and lipstick for the face. A Bollywood starlet wears sultry makeup in brown, green, bronze and red hues. Skip pink for this look.
Part your hair down the center using a comb. You can either wear it in a low ponytail, at the nape of the neck, or down and flowing.
Forgo your shirt if you really want to look like a Bollywood star. If this makes you uncomfortable, choose a fitted shirt in a delicate fabric such as silk. The point is to accentuate your physique.
Use a body oil or bath oil on the parts of your body that are exposed. This adds drama to your look, making you appear as if you are slightly perspiring.
Buy a sticky, faux mustache that can be easily worn. This will give you a different, slightly older appearance.
