Bollywood star Sunny Leone just turned 44 on May 13, and she’s looking more radiant than ever. While good genes help, Sunny says beauty really starts with what you eat and how you treat your skin. In an earlier interview with Gulf News, she shared her go-to beauty tips, makeup advice, and how she avoids common mistakes—especially when it comes to contouring and foundation.
Let’s dive into Sunny’s simple beauty secrets that can help anyone look and feel their best.
Beauty Starts From Within
Sunny believes that your skin reflects what you put into your body. Eating clean, staying hydrated, and taking care of yourself on the inside will show on the outside. A healthy lifestyle is her number one tip for glowing skin.
The Contour Confusion
Sunny loves using contour kits, especially on days when her face feels a little puffy. Contouring can help add shape and definition to your face. But she warns against overdoing it.
“A lot of people use too much contour and forget to blend,” she says. When this happens, the face can look harsh or even distorted. Sunny’s advice? Blend, blend, and blend! Especially around the edges of your face, so the makeup looks natural and smooth.
Getting Your Foundation Right
One of the biggest makeup mistakes Sunny sees is people wearing the wrong foundation shade. Choosing a shade that’s too light or too dark can make your skin look uneven and highlight imperfections rather than hide them.
Her tip? Get professionally matched at a makeup store or counter. Foundation should match both your skin tone and undertones—that’s what gives you a flawless, natural finish.
“We often don’t have the right people helping us pick our shade,” Sunny explains. “And sometimes we have this idea in our heads about what we should look like instead of what suits us.”
Less is More
Sunny believes makeup should highlight your natural features, not cover them up. Instead of piling on products, she suggests focusing on what already looks beautiful. Use contour only where it’s needed, and don’t forget about highlighter—it brings out the best parts of your face, like your cheekbones or brow bone.
She says, “You might not need a lot of contouring. Sometimes just a bit of highlight on your best features is enough to make you glow.”
Sunny’s Final Tip: Balance is Key
Makeup should feel fun, not stressful. Sunny reminds us that it’s all about balance—finding the sweet spot where you feel confident and look natural. Too much makeup can hide your beauty instead of enhancing it.
By avoiding common mistakes and learning what works best for your face, you can achieve a look that feels like you—only more polished.
So, next time you reach for your contour kit or foundation, remember Sunny’s golden rule: less is more, and blend like a pro!
