Actresses may looks like pretty dolls onscreen, but off screen it’s a whole different ballgame! Unflattering lipstick shades, wrong highlights, I could go on and on. When Kareena Kapoor first stepped out into the limelight she was hardly the glamazon she is now. I decided to trace her beauty evolution…

2001

Kareena stepped out looking pasty and pallid. Guess lipstick and blush weren’t in her dictionary just yet?

2004

While she may have piled on the pounds, her beauty regiment remained almost the same, thankfully this time around she found some lipstick and mascara.

2005

I think this was her worst phase. The garish orange-y blonde highlights did absolutely nothing to enhance her natural beauty. And sadly she caught on to the dark lip-liner-light-lipstick phase. YUCK!

2008

Her image vastly improved in 2008. Her hair was sleeker. The tacky highlights were gone. Kaajal and shiny pink gloss became her signature look and the pale look was banished.

2012

Cut to present day. I think this is Kapoor’s best beauty year to date, her skin is glowing. The bronzer is her new found best friend. She also switched it up with her hair – giving us variations at different events. Perfection.
