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 😉

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 😙

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.

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

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

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....

1930- 1950 s make up and hair

Hi Guys,

I m so so sorry that wasn't been blogging off late that I have many more blogs n fresh contents to compensate...

I had recently been to a fashion show where the inspiration was 1930's. I was mesmerized by the make up and the hair do's, It was very sophisticated and feminine.I got so inspired that I am writing on it today.

Basically 1930's to 1950's was more or the less same hair do's and make up.

Lets start with the Eyes- It is more of a liner look with winged just above your upper lash line. It was more dark and very neat. It was " my eyes says a lot of things" kinda look.The eye shadow would be a natural shade and the eyebrows were kind of thin and well shaped. here is the picture of how one can do a winged eyeliner

 

U can use Maybeline liner it gives you a intense and depth, the brush comes with the product moves very smoothly.

Lips- The lips in the early 30's was dark maroons, deep purple and burgundy,  and in the late 40,s RED lips became high fashion note and the trend.Prime your lips then apply a lip liner preferably hot red color apply on the outer lip line, fill it with the same lip liner and then apply the same shade of lipstick on the lips., pat it dry with a tissue and look is complete.

One of our favorite legend Marilyn Monroe who portrayed this look as a very sensuous and dynamic look which is been followed till now.

Mac- cherry?ruby woo.

More prominent than make up in the era of 1930’s to 1950’s was HAIR. With blow dryers and curling irons yet to be convenient tools for today’s women, Women in that era had to find creative ways to achieve the gorgeous looks we see in today’s world.

Pin curls, rag curls were a very popular style in that generation.They used to wrap sections of their wet hair around rags and tie knots in them, or twirl them around bobby pins, overnight, to get the flowing waves. It takes us about 20 to 30 minutes to create with heat products.

make up

Wats up ....

been little busy and little lazy to blog lately...and have been searching for latest happenings...

well today I m in a mood of make up.off late have been trying new things with make up and surprisingly it is turning out to be good..different colors of eye shadow, lipstick and rouge.As almost everyone believes even i do believe that make up really accenturize the beauty of oneself.make up just does not mean one would put loud make up thinking its in fashion, one should even get expertise on what type of face do you have? what s ur skin color/tone? what color are your lips? and most importantly how are your eyes?..

according to me the best thing in a girl's face is her eyes, they show the inner self of a person.well everyone has their own views on best feature of the face..
lets start with the eyes today, subtle colors for day make up is preferable and nice smoky colors can be tried for an evening party or a dinner.
I really like MAC products for an evening party as they have really dramatic colors in eye shadows and only little quantity of mac product does wonders as mas products are more pigmented.otherwise other brads are also nice and in budget.Smoky green, blue and black are must haves.
nowadays White eyeliner or khol/kajal is very in..haven't you seen the new kareena kapoor Lakme adv yet? its a must see and a must buy. It looks exotic when applied on the lower lid of the eyes combined with black eye shadow on the upper lid and loads of mascara to give a Bollywood look.
there is one advantage and also a disadvantage to this color liner ;
if applied when the rest of the make up  is not too loud will help white kajal to overpower and stand out, one more option is when mixed with your eye shadow will get your white liner shine.

but remember not to over apply it as u might look like a devil in the dark,then ur make up wont blend in your face



So , get out girls and try out this new color ,make sure u have one of this in your make up bag....
enjoy ill see you ll next time with something new..

New year 2014....

Hiiiii....

I m so so sorry had been away for long time from blogging, been a little bit busy but from now i swear will be updating frequently(fingers crossed).

Well well well... Happy new year to all , I wish we have loads of new fashion stuff, all new trends and all new colors....

U know what this year actually the fashion is redefined, not only clothes are in fashion but more of accessories as well...
Lets give this blog full attention on accessories today.

Hmmm, let me start with the neck pieces and ear rings..Gone are those days where we used to wear matching delicate neck pieces and small stud earrings .This year especially earrings have started trend with a new definition..big chunk of ear cuffs is the new thing this year.It is a very bold look with gives you confidence to say your word..It can very well be carried off with a high neat bun or a high  pony tail.
The color for accessories this season is more of gold, dull gold and champagne. And more of the EAR CUFFS are really big designs like a half sun or  a half moon which can be worn with mono color outfits...It really stands out with  light colors because bright color dress might overpower the ear cuffs..As almost all the girls even my fashion guru is none other than sonam kapoor.I think u give her whatever she will carry it off with panache and confidence her is a link which has our top celebrities carrying off ear cuffs...



well that was for the ears, lets talk about the neck pieces....these are really in fashion since long, almost a year but there has been some change in that as well.last year we saw more of colors more of chokers and more of neon...
but this year it is more of longer neck pieces with a bold statement and colors of rust gold bright and dull  gold which can be worn on shirts as well.
So this was it in the accessories section...will get back with new collection of dresses shoes and make up in the next blog.
byeee.

Trend....

TREND...

Its basically what is in fashion? what first our favorite film celebrities start off with every season or what our fashion designer portray in their recent fashion show...
That is for our high class designer label people but what about the rest..Aam aadmi?Good their is something for us as well which even suits our pockets...

Mumbai and Delhi are considered the best in terms of new trend and in budget clothing..

This year season trend continued with bird print or animal print,with many colors on  chiffon. But I would give my vote on the black bird print on WHITE shirt...Goes with everything-Trendy,Casual as well as formal.Then the season started with neon colors..This season was my hot favorite as i love colors and these florescent goes with any Indian skin type when paired up well with gr8t shoes and belt.U can paint the city neon as its very trend setting color.Even for the weddings all i have seen is flora green gagras and orange sarees..It really adds up to Indian outfit.
Coming to short and long dresses or gowns..My pick would be the sleek peplum dresses...They really make one stand tall and confident..even for girls with little paunch it covers all the fat at the right places..U can even select a neon color for that dress..That would be a must have..Team it up with high heeled pumps- very formal and classy..vero moda neon orange peplum would be my pick..

Another trend which is really in for the winter is Sheer long gowns and dresses even the shirts look very smart as formal as well as casual..

but we ll get back on the sheer cloth in my next blog so stay tuned....

Basics....

Hi,

As this is my first blog, i will keep it short. I have heard of people blogging all time, giving reviews about their passion, their interests and things which might give them happiness.I hope even i get the satisfaction writing about my favorite-es...

What do I like the most?
hmmmmm...
Their are lot of things which I like, latest trends, bags, travel, food, reading...
but most of all i love shoes...
I know its almost every girl s dream to have a million shoes matching to every outfit..I am also one among them..

okkk
Lets start with basics..Fashion according to me is wear whatever  one should feel comfortable in, but also u should not necessary that you should follow your group just because they are trendy.. Dont bother if the others dress really well or do not dress at all, You should have the confidence of walking in and carrying yourself with a poise...

Well tats all for today i guess i keep blogging everyday and enjoy letting out my heart...
