Bollywood Models, The world’s movie capital is not Hollywood but Bollywood. Bollywood is the nickname for the Indian film industry located in Bombay. The naming scheme for “Bollywood” was inspired by “Tollywood”, the name that was used to refer to the cinema of West Bengal. Indians Peaoples are in love with movies, even though most films follow a similar format called masala. Bollywood traces its start to 1911 when the first silent Indian feature film was released by D.P. Phalke. The industry boomed and today there are over 250 theaters in Mumbai alone. In our film industry, there are so many actress, models and stars come in every year. but who is the top hottest actress in the film world, Here is the latest top hot and sexy bollywood models photos, wallpapers, Pictures, and images.

Bollywood Actress, Rai was born in Mangalore to Krishnaraj Rai and Vrinda Rai. She has one elder brother, Aditya Rai, who is an engineer in the merchant navy and has also co-produced one of Rai’s movies, Dil Ka Rishta (2003). At an early age her parents moved to Mumbai where she attended the Arya Vidya Mandir high school in Santa Cruz. Rai then entered Jai Hind College at Churchgate for one year, and then moved to Ruparel College in Matunga to finish her HSC studies. She planned to become an architect, and started studying architecture, but gave up her education to pursue a career in modelling.

She can communicate in several languages, including her mother tongue Tulu,^[6] as well as Hindi, English, Marathi and Tamil.

In 1999 Rai starred in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam opposite Salman Khan and Ajay Devgan. The film was centered on Rai’s character, Nandini, who is forced to marry Devgan’s character despite being in love with another man (Khan). As her husband tries to get her to her previous love, she eventually falls for him. Rai’s portrayal won her critical acclaim, with a review on Rediff.com writing, “Aishwarya looks beautiful as usual … This film will most likely draw her accolades from all over, maybe even get her recognised as an actress the way Manisha Koirala did in Khamoshi. In many scenes, there is no trace of makeup and she looks very fresh”.The film became her first box office success in Bollywood and earned her first Filmfare Best Actress Award for her.

In the same year she appeared in Subhash Ghai’s Taal, in which she played the role of a young village woman, Mansi, who becomes a big pop star after being hurt by her lover played by Akshay Khanna. The film was an average performer in India but was a big success among the international audience, especially in the United States, where it became the first Indian film to reach the top 20 on Variety’s box office list. Her performance in the film was praised with Rediff.com writing, “After being praised for her looks and acting talent in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Aishwarya has excelled in Taal. She looks ethereal and unlike the former film, has a very sober and soft role. Though she looks pained and tragic in most of the film, she does a good job of a woman who is very protective of her father and one who doesn’t think twice before rejecting a lover who has insulted her father. She received another Best Actress nomination at the Filmfare for her performance in the film.

In 2000, she appeared in Mansoor Khan’s Josh alongside Shahrukh Khan and Chandrachur Singh, in which she played a Catholic named Shirley who falls in love with the sibling of her brother’s enemy. The film was a commercial success. Later that year she appeared in Satish Kaushik’s Hamara Dil Aapke Paas Hai opposite Anil Kapoor. It was a moderate success and her performance earned her a Filmfare Best Actress Award nomination. Later that year she played a supporting role in Aditya Chopra’s Mohabbatein alongside Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan. The film was a major commercial success and became the second-highest grosser of the year, and it earned her a Filmfare Best Supporting Actress Award nomination. Later that year, she starred in the Tamil film Kandukondain Kandukondain, alongside Mammooty, Ajith Kumar and Tabu.

Fashion Models, Kate Moss was discovered by Sarah Doukas of Storm Agency at JFK Airport when she was fourteen. After being featured in the British magazine The Face, she caught the eye of Harper’s Bazaar editor-in-chief Liz Tilberis who featured her in the September 1992 relaunch issue. Calvin Klein then signed Kate, and through his media saturation landed her image on every magazine, bus stop, and billboard in North America.

This seemingly overnight success has not come without criticism, however. Her thin physique caused controversy over the “fashionable” waif look; it managed to land her on a 1993 People cover under the title “Skin and Bones.” Her atypical look (small stature and slight weight) seemed to be the 90′s response to the Amazon supermodels of previous decades and as a result, critics presumed that Kate’s popularity would be short-lived. Now, nearly six years later, Kate’s career hasn’t waned.

The press has moved on to other personalities, and Kate, who has always kept a relatively low profile, has survived unscathed. She still maintains a rather cultish following in the fashion world and her only response to critics: “The more visible they make me, the more invisible I become.”

Rai then started working as a professional model and then moved on to her current profession as an actress.

Hollywood Fashion Models, Adriana lima may not have wanted to be a supermodel when she was growing up, but lo and behold, she’s strutting her stuff for magazines and fashion shows seen by millions. Paris, Milan and New York are very different from her hometown of Salvador da Bahia, Brazil, but adriana lima, with her diamond eyes, seems to take it all in stride — besides, her worldwide travels are great excuses to shop.

It’s hard to believe that she was born in 1981 (when Duran Duran was in, imagine). adriana lima has already landed major campaigns for Guess?, Victoria’s Secret, Maybelline, and BCBG. Still, it shouldn’t be so surprising, after all, we’ve been experiencing an incredible Brazilian invasion of models like Gisele Bundchen , Ana Beatriz Barros and Alessandra Ambrosio for years now.

Adriana lima has a strong support system, which helps eliminate any homesickness she might feel while being so far from her home at such a young age. Despite her sexy looks, she is still pretty young and displays a girlish charm that makes her seem innocent. She still giggles and gets shy around people, which is strange considering she’s from the least shy country of the world: Brazil. Don’t be fooled by her womanly assets; adriana lima is still a simple girl who craves Japanese food at midnight (true story).

Let’s face it; it wasn’t adriana lima’s IQ score that caught the attention of Victoria’s Secret’s talent scouts. That drop-dead gorgeous body of hers seems like a gift from the heavens. Sexy?

Three years after taking second place at the Ford Supermodel of the World Contest in Brazil at the tender age of 13, adriana lima decided to move to the Big Apple to see if she could conquer the modeling world. And it wasn’t hard for the exotic beauty. She signed on as an Elite model , and soon enough she was gracing covers of magazines like Vogue , Marie Claire and Harper’s Bazaar .

With high-profile campaigns for companies like Guess?, Armani, Anna Sui Jeans, bebe, Gasoline, Mossimo, BCBG, and XOXO, it wasn’t long before adriana lima’s face and body were plastered on billboards and in print ads. But no campaign would bring her the recognition she received as a Victoria’s Secret model.

Considered one of Victoria’s Secret’s “Perfect 10″ models, adriana lima appeared in the Victoria’s Secret fashion show on TV , in 2001 and 2003. In addition to her gig as an “Angel,” adriana lima also appeared in the short film The Hire: Follow , as “The Wife” opposite Mickey Rourke.

In the spring of 2002, adriana lima made headlines when it was announced that she and rocker Lenny Kravitz were engaged. The two never made it to the altar.

adriana lima was also the star of a Victoria’s Secret ad in 2004, which featured adriana lima prancing around Venice with wings on her back (it’s promoting Victoria’s Secret’s “Angels” line) and wearing a bra, panties and heels. Her co-star in the ad? None other than Bob Dylan.

More importantly, adriana lima was named AskMen.com’s “Most Desirable Woman” in 2005.

Even if she didn’t have Heidi Klum legs (and does she ever), she would still mesmerize us with her blue-gray eyes. It’s her unique feature that sets her apart from other models. Her exotic beauty can probably be attributed to her French, Portuguese, Native-American, and Caribbean genes. What else can you expect from a woman who tops a list of 98 other gorgeous women?

Brazilian women don’t just look good, they also dress like world champions. adriana lima doesn’t let her country down and qualifies for the Style Dream Team. Let’s be honest; with a face like hers, who’s even looking at her wardrobe?

adriana lima was born on June 12, 1981, in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. The blue/gray-eyed Brazilian beauty can attribute her exotic good looks to her French, Portuguese, Native-American, and Caribbean heritage.

On a personal note, the Maybelline model was engaged to Lenny Kravitz in the spring of 2002, but they never got married.

Skin Care Tips, Tips to prevent Free Radical damage:

* Increase your intake of antioxidants like Vitamin A and E
* Eat a diet high in cblueberries, raspberries, strawberries, or any fruits/berries with bright colors

* Use anti aging skin care products that contain Acai (very high in anti oxidants)

Using an anti aging skin care cream that contains anti oxidants can significantly reduce the amount of chemical substances you absorb into your skin through everyday, environmental exposure (pollution, etc). which, in turn will turn the hands of time back on your facial skin.

Tips to prevent absorbing chemicals through the skin:

* Use anti aging skin care products high in anti oxidants
* Wash your face morning and night and apply a high quality anti wrinkle cream

Dehydration is another factor in premature aging. Most people don't drink enough water to maintain a healthy body. 8 glasses of water a day is recommended.

Tips to ensure you drink enough water:

* Put 4 rubber bands on your bottle of water (assuming it's around 16oz). Remove one band every time you empty the bottle. When you have removed all the bands, you've supplied your body with enough water for the day.

Beauty & Makeup Tips, The major factor in our skin prematurely aging is photo damage (sun damage). The sun damage you might see on your face today might have started 30 years ago. When it comes to sun damage prevention is the best cure.

Tips to prevent photo damage:

* Wear a high SPF factor sunscreen daily on your face and neck. Make sure it's UV A & B
* Wear a hat whenever you venture outside; even on small walks
* Wear make-up that contains SPF 15 or more
* Don't sun bathe

We hear a lot about "free radicals" these days. Free radicals are unstable molecules produced from air pollution, radiation, and chemicals you can find in just about anything. They are also caused by fatty diets. These free radicals can seriously toll your system and they are notorious for causing premature aging.

Face Beauty Tips, Complete the look by dabbing just a touch of bronzer to your forehead, nose and chin for a natural look.

Laying a good foundation for your foundation

Regardless what kind of foundation you use; good skin care can shine through any make up. To make your make up last all day, be sure you are applying your foundation on a relatively oil free surface. Make sure your face is clean and wipe it down with astringent before beginning your makeup routine. Astringent not only takes care of the surface oil, but it also dissolves oil in the pores, making them appear smaller. Also it helps the foundation adhere better to your skin so that it's not melting off your face halfway through your day.

Never, never sleep in your make up. Sleeping in your make up can clog up your pores, making them larger. At the end of the day wash your face thoroughly with an exfoliating scrub. If you do not regularly exfoliate your face dead skins cells can pile up on the surface of your skin, making it appear ashen and making you look older.

Blemishes

We've all gotten them at some point. That dreaded zit or that horrible cold sore. Use make up as a tool to misdirect the eye where you want it to go. For example if you have got a monster zit on your forehead, go ahead and cover it up with some concealer but then go for a bolder lip color or some sparkly lip gloss (I know I just told you to keep you lipstick natural but when a zit is involved I can make an exception).

Or if you're sporting a cold sore do not try to cover it up with lipstick, you will only draw more attention to it. Instead go with a muted lip color and go a little more dramatic on your eyes, or even throw on some dazzling earrings.

When faced with a blemish or flaw of any kind, deal with it the diva way. Decide where you want people to look and play that up instead.

Face Makeup, The biggest mistake most women make with their eye color is choosing shadows that match their natural eye color. Here are a couple of suggestions when it comes to eye shadows.

* Brown – Pretty versatile, browns can go with just about anything. Depending on how dark brown your eyes are go for a much lighter brown and offset with a cool violet or lavender.
* Blue – Deep browns, warm earthy reds like a copper or rust.
* Green or Hazel – Stick with golden earthy tones, deep violets, or soft neutrals.
* Grey – Cool icy colors, purples, or dusty charcoal.

Luscious Lips

Big full lips can also offset the roundness of your face to make it appear slimmer in contrast.

To keep lips full trace the outside of your lips with a nude (flesh tone) pencil and smooth with your finger to create the illusion of depth. If you still want to use lip liner, do it on the inside of this nude line. Avoid tracing the entire lip with liner. This will make your lips appear thinner. Instead use the lip liner modestly to enhance the widest parts of the lip.

Avoid glossy lipstick. Instead go for a muted lip stain and apply your gloss separately. Apply a dab of gloss at the widest part of your lips only. This will create the illusion of depth and fullness. Top off this look with a tiny dab of shimmer right under you nose and above the arch of the lip and blend for sexy pouty lips.

Stay away from dramatic and bright colors. Remember, you want to choose a lipstick that makes you look like you're not wearing lipstick at all, and that you just have fabulous, naturally full, lips.

Cheeks From Flushed to Blushed

While your eyes are the focal point of your face, your cheeks dominate in the space category. This is usually where the best make up intentions fail.

Just like you did with your eyes, you are going to shadow the recessed parts of the cheek and enhanced the highest part of the cheekbone. To do this, suck your cheeks in and make the fish face.

Use a bronzer that works well with your skin tone and apply to the "sucked in" part of you cheek when you're making the fish face. Then apply a light iridescent blush to highlight the highest part of the cheekbone and fade toward your temples. Smooth together with your finger.
