I am writing a blog regarding the same.. hope u like it

So to start off, I cleanse my face with rose water and cleansing milk ,removed the dirt with a cotton pad and then I used nivea face wash for sensitive skin as I m prone to breakouts and rashes...
After I pay dry, I used the hydrating mask for around 20 minutes, it's from miniso( pic given below) and it's very affordable as well...
It really helps your skin to hydrate and make your skin feel fresh πŸ˜‰
After I am done with cleansing the skin... Its pampering time..
I start with sunscreen lotion - lotus spf 50 to protect my skin from uv rays then I use nivea cold cream as it's winter and my skin is dry during this season .
After massaging the cold cream into my skin I move on to gel based cream for my cheeks ( it's called calm ur zits from popxo) 
I even use glitter based moisturizer when I want to go out and shine like a diamond πŸ˜‰
I use it before my make up base as it's buttery and glowy 
I end my skin regime with a dab of Vaseline for my lips as it's very necessary for me to pout with some nice moisturized lips πŸ˜™
I even use a night cream it's called skin care sleeping mask from miniso with helps your skin
shine next day morning
U can use variety of products from health and glow or online with is not very expensive but make sure it's your skin type and does not give you any skin allergies 

Hope u liked it..

Magic at Sight – Eye Makeup Trends 2020

Yes, it's a new year new beginning and lot of new things to try, But don’t forget beauties you have the entire year to rock with your clothes hair  and makeup. Eyes are insight to the soul and beautiful eyes make that process easy J whether you are a pro makeup artist or a newbie, worry not. Our guide will help you to get those eyes to die for! Let the eye games begin…

Winter blues is a term that has been glorified in umpteen songs and movies. With designers like Marc Jacobs banking on this stunning eye colour for their runway shows is just perfect for this season. Mac and Shiseido have some awesome shimmering shades of cobalt and royal blue to add that edgy eye drama. Cream versions which can be patted along from lash line to crease are just oooo-laaa-laaaa. What’s more all shades from Curacao to powder blue work for all skin colour types. Bleed blue beauties!


One colour which has joined the blue bandwagon is Purple. Catwalks have vouched for this colour throughout the runway seasons. Get ready to invade your makeup kits with shades of orchid, lavender, lilac. Start with tips of the eyes on the outside instead of going overboard with the colour as it has tendency to wash out your lips.


Can’t get enough of the retro 70’s? Well you can still be super sexy while playing retro. Opt for straight flicks and angular shapes to rock the graphic eyeliner trend. Instantly modern, instantly cool!


We love getting Catty…Don’t we? Admit it we all girls do. There are tons of DIY videos on Youtube to give you that amateur to expert tutorials on how to do the cat eye look. They accentuate your face like no other eye trend. If you worried about smudging, use a thin cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to get a clean neat line. While we talk about catty, the envy can’t be behind. A pop of green eye shadow on a neutral face adds that zingy finish to your look.

Extra-long false lashes will give you the doll like prettiness to enjoy the winter’s chilly weather. Versace, Gucci, Prada and Top Shop showcased their models with cloggy mascaras for those voluminous, long lashes in their Autumn-Winter Shows 2019
For the makeup lovers who try to push it a mile further, ethereal white eye shadow and liner will do the trick for you. Catwalk beauty trends screamed white with Tibi, Jenny Peckham, Alice + Olivia, and Altuzarra playing with white in uber glam ways. Inner corner of eyes are the place where you can highlight this basic bold shade. Pair it with hot pink and orange lipstick for that extra pop out effect
Glitter and bling is here to stay for long. It is not a one season wonder. Go for gold, silver, bronze, copper, whichever metal you consider your best friend. Metallic look is huge from accessories to clothing and now to make your eyes shine and sparkle 
Move away lipstick lovers. 2020 is all about those gorgeous eyes. Drum-rolls please!

Make up for this Summer

As approaching to the hottest season, we start to worry what make up to put on as we might sweat and ruin our make up embarrassing ourselves. Coming from Hyderabad as my home town I know the heat what every woman in the city goes through summers .But don’t you worry I am here to help to knowing some tips about make up in summers…
My friends, relatives and Brides ask for an advice on what make up to wear in this heating up summer which would not look cakey and more or less sweat proof…So here are few questions which might run into your mind
1.       What is the best make up in summer?
2.       Should I wear waterproof, mineralized or regular base?
3.       What colours are in? and so on….

So, let’s start with lesson 1. Which is the base of everything “keep your skin Hydrated” . Have lots of water, lemon soda or any of your favourite juice which will help your skin to be healthy and you will get a natural glow..
The basics of prepping the skin with primer serum is already discussed in my previous blog so I am going to skip that part...
Choose your foundation wisely; try one colour close to your skin tone on one side of your face and try another on the other side, go out in sun and check which looks the best as natural light is the best light to judge your make up. I would recommend my personal favourite Mac match master or loreal and Revlon are also good brands to invest in.



Mineralising ones are very good for summers it soaks in and doesn’t give a cakey look. Look for a foundation which is like all in one concealer, compact and foundation. As for the blush go in for a cooler shades, preferably powder based as creamy ones might make your face look oily. Pink would be the best to invest for a long term basis, u can go in for a matte one for regular use and shimmer for any special occasion. This you could buy from any good brand without burning your pocket...


As for make up there is no fixed trend of colours you should always wear what you are comfortable in but there is no harm in trying something new. If  you are a person  who likes to be subtle then you can go for some warm colours of baby pink beige golden  for eyes  and little darker on the lips. If you are a person who likes to experiment with make up you can play around with pinks, blues or even black but make sure you highlight any one part of your face either your eyes or your lips. BLUE is the colour for summers, U can experiment with that colour blending it with some beige in the inner corner and blue on the outer corner, this look can be carried off for day as well as night make up. U can even try blue smoky look which goes well for partying. Play off with different shades of pinks ranging from rani pink to fusia pink for your lips. Complete your look with a nice liner or a kajal with mascara preferably waterproof. Lakme eyekonic is economical as well as waterproof.

Pics taken from internet only for reference purposes.

Essentials in your purse:
Do not forget to carry your compact everywhere, you could use it as a touch up anywhere everywhere, lipstick and kajal are your back up
Blend each any every type of product which you use on your face. Remember makeup doesn’t mean you should possibly show the world u have some on…

Faces....

HI everyone, Today i want to share something which each and everyone wishes to have ...A Glowing Skin.

For your Big Day or any special occasion,every girl wishes to have a flawless glowing skin where her soul mate admires her ...

Much before your D day comes make sure you are less stressed about things not falling into place, I can understand there is lot  of kiosk and things going  hay why all around during the wedding ( i had panic attacks) but would be brides please do not panic everything will be taken care of, You have to concentrate on you looking like a princess on your wedding...


Well here are few secrets which help you to glow at the right parts of  your face making you look very fresh and Picturesque..

First I would like to start with the basic home glowing ingredient-WATER. It is magic believe me, make sure you drink at-least 8- 10 glasses of water  everyday preferably warm, it makes your skin glow from within so on your big day your skin will be well hydrated and will need less of hydrating products.
If your skin is very dry, try using hydrating serum on the face on a regular basis which will again help you look fresh all day long.
If you have an oily skin do not use more of the hydrating products as it might change to more oily later apply very less all over.
You can also use a highlighter for a nice glowing look. There are many brands who have highlighters for the face, You can apply where you think its really needed, usually it is to be applied on the cheek bone where you blush the most.
You can also use the hydrater after u applied the make up ,even that does wonders. it helps your make up stay longer as well as fresh..
Here are few lists of products which can help you to hydrate your skin


LAKME Absolute Skin Gloss 







MAC  Hydrating Spray



These are the two best hydrating product which i feel are the best but you do get these in other brands as well..
and highlighters are available in all the brands so go and get that kin finish glowing face......

Monsoon Weddings....

Hello Everyone,

Today i wanna talk all about the beautiful Brides getting married during the monsoon season,As i am learning Professional hair and make up now i know the minor details about how to take care of the skin,how would i apply make up for a monsoon wedding.

Here are few quick tips which i like to share which might be easy and handy:

1. First of all always always always Cleanse ur skin, tone and moisturize the face very well.
2.  Keep your skin healthy by getting a regular clean up as in rainy season it tends to oil up and the dirt gets       accumulated in the pores.
3. PRIME your skin before make up.U can buy any good face primer for controlling the oil on the face and giving it a flawless look.MY personal favourite is MAC prep+prime, it has good glittery particles in it.but INGLOT also has a very good primer.

U can just take about a pinch and blend well on the skin (especially on d "T" zone).\

4. Next Use a waterproof Foundation all over your face Kryolan has a very good range of waterproof products which will help your make up stay longer.
5.Do not forget to conceal the under tones of the face with a concealer and then powder it with some nice translucent loose face powder.Again u get nice loose powders in almost all the brands but professionally it would be Kryolan, MAC and Inglot.
6..For eyes- Usually we put eye primer separately for the eye shadow to emphasize more but its ok if u do not want to spend separately for the primer, u can actually use the same concealer on the eye lid which also gives u a great effect.
Go in for some nice aqua colors for the eyes and can use a cream based eye shadows.


7.Do not forget to apply a waterproof mascara as it might just blot if it rains or u cry.
8.U can even apply the concealer on the lips and then apply lipstick. do not forget to add a dash of gloss on the center of ur lips.But before that do not forget to balm ur lips everyday ( it wont crack or dry up on your D DAY
9. Go pink or nude with the lips works well with nice aqua smokey eyes.
10. As you are automatically going to blush on ur day its alright if the blush is less its going to give you a natural highlight on your cheek bones.

LIPS...

I was watching an award show recently and i happened to notice the "perfect Lips" of the celebrities...

The new season of make up would be nude make up with just Hot Bright Lips, Its actually very easy and not much time consuming..

Once U are done with your base,foundation,concealer, Start with priming your lips with any good brand for a lip primer, I would suggest MAC or Inglot as it gives a natural finish on the skin.Make sure your lips are well moisturized before hand.

U can even apply a concealer before using any Lip products.
  • Take a nice bright shade of lip pencil, start outlining the lower lip from the center till the corners.
  • On the upper lip start with the cupid bow, make sure its nice and soft curve.
  • from the cupid bow tilt the face and make an angel downwards to the corners.Join the corners
  • Fill the lip with the liner itself
  • Take the liner brush and fill in with the desired lipstick( make sure the lip pencil and the lipstick you are using are of same colors)
  • dab the lipstick with a cotton pad or a tissue removing off the excess.( Controls the leaking of the lip color)
  • Top cote again with lipstick.( you can use lip brush or directly apply- whichever is comfortable)
  • Conceal the corners of the lips if required 
  • You can  also apply a gloss for a glossy look. (just at the center of the lips)


  AND its Done! Choose a very vibrant color like Pinks or reds even corals work well.I would suggest Ruby Woo from MAC for a sexy red lip.
Corals and Pinks are really good in color-bar.
And make sure You team it up with light eye make up and blush.



Enjoy the bright lips and dont forget to Pout....
