You need to be in love to have good skin, I do not take too much time over my beauty regime but drink lots and lots of water and am careful about what I eat. I exercise regularly.

With Valentine's Day around the corner, it's time to get that skin glowing. Think precious metals - gold, silver and bronze - the colours that give you instant radiance. The trick with these metallic hues is to use them as highlighters. It's all about enhancing. Shimmer and shine will give you that understated but grown-up look, just right for a dinner date. Make-up artist, Hamid Shaikh, dips his brushes in metallic shades to give Priya Sachdev, model and fiancée of hotelier, Vikram Chatwal, a glow that sparkles as much as the rock on her finger!

Priya's Pointers

Priya Sachdev, the girl who has caught hotelier and newly-minted actor, Vikram Chatwal's heart, shares some of her beauty secrets.

On glowing skin "You need to be in love to have good skin, (giggles) I do not take too much time over my beauty regime but drink lots and lots of water and am careful about what I eat. I exercise regularly."

On make-up "I am not a huge make-up person. I use a Chantecaille base, which has green tea extracts and so is really good for the skin. I highlight my eyes with Nars eye shadows, in pinky tones and use Benetint's products on my lips and cheeks. Finally, it's Bobbi Brown's black kohl and Estée Lauder's mascara."

On her best and worst feature "I like my eyes, which is why I highlight them. I hate my lips. Though everyone else says my lips are my best feature, I think they are too big."

On the first date "First make sure to get lots of sleep the night before. Be excited but stay calm and get your hair done at a salon and wear your best dress. Do not go over the top with the make-up; keep it natural."
