Look at pictures of some favorite Bollywood actresses to get an idea of what look you're going for. Keep your hair long and dark without bangs, like Mahima Chaudhry. Add some golden highlights to dark hair if you prefer to resemble Isha Gopikar, and wear your hair down and straight often.
Keep yourself fit with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Include Indian foods such as rice, vegetables, chicken, adding spices like curry. Include cardiovascular activity like Neha Dhupia, who has been known to climb stairs when staying in a hotel, or add yoga to your workout routine like Madhuri Dixit.
Wear colorful clothing by designers such as Valentino, Roberto Cavalli, Calvin Klein or Indian designer Manish Malhotra like Preity Zinta. Include layers of jewelry such as yellow-gold or bangle bracelets and include earrings that dangle.
Apply makeup whenever you go out because a Bollywood actress is never photographed without it. Use a combination of foundation and bronzer if your skin is not naturally caramel color. Pay special attention to your eyes by applying eye shadow in shades of brown or gold, or create a smoky eye as often sported by Kareena Kapoor.
Add brown or black eyeliner, preferably liquid liner, starting at the inner corner and thickening the line as you get to the outer corner; a look often captured by Diya Mirza. Complete the dramatic eyes with a couple of coats of mascara or false eyelashes. Finish with orange-toned blush and natural-toned lip colors.
