Priyanka Chopra INSPIRED makeup look for Fall/Autum

9.12.16 7 Comments
 As a makeup enthusiast and a YouTube addict, my favourite category is either swatch videos or recreating celebrity makeup looks. Oh! hoe I love seeing the transformation of one person into another just by the power of makeup. I really find them highly creative rather than the random haul videos. If I am to name a few of my favourite inspired look videos (which are tons off course) I would pick JLo's inpired makeup tutorial by Huda , Kylie Jenner inspired makeup by Roxette Arisa , Penelope Cruz inspired makeup by Makeup By Ani among the the huge talented lots. 
Now that we are desi , we wouldn't be able to do justice with an international look given our skin tone, eye colour and hair colour. The reason being just mentioned I earlier decided to do an Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's Cannes inspired makeup look earlier which received so much love from you guys and now I came across this image of our very own Priyanka Chopra when she attended the Marrakech International Film Festival and her net saree and lace blouse became the talk of the town! I've always liked Priyanka's style of dressing even though I don't find her experimenting with her makeup much. She always sticks to her matte makeup base and matte lips , generally playing around earthy tones and nudes. But at this paticular event she turned up in smokey eyes , pink lips and very pronounced pink blusher.
Here's my attempt at recreating it:

And Here's how to achieve it:
Face
For the face, I started with Patanjali Aloevera gel as a primer/pre base. I wanted a clean and covered base thus I used Maybelline Matte and Poreless foundation for it. For my NC30ish skin tone I mixed the shades Sun Beige(310) and Natural Buff(230) to get the correct match. I generally use Real Technique Sponge to apply my foundations and did the same for this look as well. For setting the makeup I used Lotus Herbals Pure Radiance Natural compact in Caramel. Since it wasn't a chiseled out look and not harsh contour or highlight was obvious, I used a very light hand at giving dimension to the face using Kat Von d Shade Light palette. Blush was majorly visible on Priyanka so I used Wet n Wild Pearlescent Pink with a rather heavy hand than I usually do. The blusher itself has shimmers so I skipped using a highlighter altogether. 
And this is how it came out!

 Eyes
Priyanka was seen sporting a deep smokey eye for the event and to achieve a similar look I used Bys Eyeshadow mousse as the eye base and then used the shades Custom and Strong from my New Trals Vs Neutrals Palette by Makeup Revolution
For the eyeliner , Maybelline gel liner was put to use and I skipped the falsies and just used Oriflame Giordani Glod masacara to open up the eyes and finish the look.
For the eye brows I used a matte dark brown eyeshadow to fill and shape and brushed it out to avoid too harsh brows.
Lips
Priyanka Chopra is a brand ambassador for matte lips. Even when the whole bollywood was wearing creamy , satiny , glossy lips, Priyanka stuck to her matte nudes...much much before the matte lip trend. In the images above too she is seen wearing deep fuchsia with purple undertones. Lakme Absolute Lip Pout in Magenta Magic was quite close to her shade but it required a slight dash of purple for which I mixed a little bit of Huda Beauty Material Girl.
That's pretty much all that was done to achieve the Priyanka Chopra look!!!

Hope you guys like it :D

Festive Update - Navratri / Durga Pooja Look !!

30.9.16 15 Comments
It's finally achche din for us Indians with festivities beginning. The whole aura is such colour, aroma, flavor, laughter and happiness filled. In any case festivities are all the more harbinger of happiness to a makeup enthusiast when you can finally go all bold-gold without fearing being a disco ball.. Oh Yeah...you CAN be a disco ball with a panache!!
I wanted to leave no opportunity to doll-up since I almost never dare to go with both lips and eyes...yesss!! It either has to be a social gathering or a festival for me to have sparkly dark eyes and a red lip.. I've seen as much as I love makeup, I love underplaying too :) But this time like you see, I enjoyed playing with colours and I'm pretty happy with the outcome specially when compared to my previous Navratri Look. 


The product used for the look are as follows:

My Top 10 Most Used Makeup Products Of 2014

11.2.15 6 Comments
I know.. I know.. Technically this should have been a December last week or January first week post, but don't forget I'm a mom of a super-desperate-to-walk baby.. So yeah! On my toes!!
 
I wanted to do a 5 most used beauty products post, but the rest five gave me a cold stare sitting in the stash..rather jumping out of the stash! So presenting the 10 most used (read loved) beauty products of 2014:
(In no particular order)


1. Patanjali Aloevera gel
Multipurpose is it's middle name. Works well as a primer, acne soother, face pack base, depigmentation gel, night treatment, hair pack base. On and on and on....

2. Maybelline dream mouse liquid foundation in creamy natural
Love it. Easy to apply, easy to blend, gives airbrush kinda finish if applied with a stippling brush. No cakeyness no dry patches. C'mon it's just a foundation not your husband, you can't expect more!!!
My go to contour powder. Without you I look like a pumpkin ;)

4. Oriflame giordani gold mascara
The perfect mascara to give those falsies kinda effect. Best I've evaaa come across!

5. Colorbar Peachy Rose Blush
Almost hitting pan. It's peachy pink with a nice sheen. Not matte not shimmery. Apt for every day wear!

6. Faces long wear eyeliner pencils in navy blue and forest green
Epic!!! I'm sold to these!
Pretty peachy nude.. Wear it during the day or pair it up with smoky eyes at night for that sizzling effect!
Efforts of creative eye looks would have gone down the drain if not for this baby!
All those creative eye looks would have gone wasted without this baby..

9. Maybelline Chai latte quad
Total love! Gimme any dress, any occasion, day or night and I can make this work.
Useful tip- The darkest shade in the quad doubles up wonderfully as a brow powder!

10. Makeup brushes
Well,technically these are not products but the rest of the products would be nothing in the absence of makeup tools.
Stippling brush, angled blush/contouring brush, angled eye-shadow brush and eye brow groomer...you guys are my oxygen!


That's it for today beauties....

An eyeshadow mousse that works as a primer too..Bys Eyeshadow Mousse: Review and Swatches

5.2.14 18 Comments
They say mousse eyeshadows are perfect to use as highlighting agents & eye shadow bases. They aid in making colors appear more vibrant and pop. Though the purpose behind getting this eyeshadow mousse wasn't to use it as a base/primer,it now serves that purpose even better than what it is meant to do..
yes we're talking about the BYS Eyeshadow Mousse in Gold.
Pardon the broken lid,shows how frequently its been taken out of the stash!
Company Claims:

This lightweight whipped mousse formula blends effortlessly over your eyelids for long lasting even coverage.


This mousse eyeshadow features a beautiful gold shade that will just make you look amazing whenever you wear it.

All that glitters is this BYS Gold Eyeshadow Mousse.

Price vs Quantity: $3.95 for 3.5gm

Shades Available:


Bronze

Silver

Grey

Brown

Green
 
Gold
The shade I have is Gold,its not the yellowy metallic kinda gold but a very subtle pale gold with beige undertones.
Above are several swipes of it to make it show on camera. But when blended on eyelids,it gives a very pale gold shine to them. I would call it a Day-time Gold!!!
Texture:
The texture is dream-like smooth,just as a mousse should be. The super-soft texture makes it naturally and effortlessly blend into the skin tone.

Packaging:
BYS Eyeshadow Mousse comes in square glass-like plastic tub with a round black lid. The lid has the shade name over it.
My Take:
Oh well..where do I start from...this is my HG eyeshadow,when nothing works,this baby does!!!
I more often use it as an eyeshadow base and no matter how powdery or fall out prone the eyeshadow is...it just sticks to this,that too without giving me those sticky lids.
The colours look better and stay lonnnnnng....without creasing!
Need I say more?
My Likes:
  • Super-smooth formula.
  • Dream to blend.
  • Can be worn during day or night.
  • This particular shade works wonderfully well as an eyeshadow base/primer.
  • Makes colours pop out.
  • Prevents creasing.
  • Takes care of the fall-out issues.
  • Makes eyeshadow last really long.
  • Blends perfectly.
  • Very affordable
My Dislikes:
They should increase their shade variants.

Last Word: Awesome!!!

Repurchase: Sure!!!

Over All Rating: Nothing less than 5/5

Fresh,Natural,No-Makeup Look Using Drugstore Products:Tutorial

14.12.13 33 Comments
Remember the advertisement?
"Maybe she's born with it,Maybe its Maybelline !!!"
The irony is...a lot of makeup goes into creating a No-Makeup Look,just as the amount of effort taken to create an out-of-the-bed messy hair ;)
Today I'm going to tell you how to apply makeup just to hide your flaws and enhance your best features.
The aim is to achieve a fresh,effortless,natural look using pocket-friendly products and not look made-up.
Here's the finished look for you all:
The products used for this everyday look are:



How To:
FACE:
  • Apply moisturiser on a clean face.
  • Dab a few dots of a medium coverage foundation and blend using fingers,stippling/kabuki/foundation brush or makeup sponges. I used a stippling brush.
  • Apply a concealer in under eyes and blend using fingers.
  • I did not apply powder/compact. If you want,take some on a powder brush and just sweep through your face,to set the makeup.
  • Apply bronzer or any powder that is 3-4 shades darker than your skin tone in the hollows of your cheeks...I don't have hollows,I have to create :P
  • Just above the bronzer apply a soft pink/peach blush on the apples of your cheeks.
  • Above the blush and on your cheekbones apply highlighter.
This is the way bronzer,blush and highlighter should go!

EYES:
  • Apply primer. I used Bys eyeshadow mousse in gold.
  • Pick a colour just a shade darker for your lid area and pack your lids with it.
  • On the outer corner use a little darker taupe/brown eyeshadow and take it to the crease.
  • Apply a brown eyeliner.
  • Curl your lashes and apply mascara.
  • Now if you have brow powder that suits you,use that! Else,use any matte dark brown eyeshadow to fill your eyebrows.
  • Apply the same highlighter on your brow bone that you applied on your cheek bones.
LIPS:
  • Apply a nude/soft pink,peach/an mlbb lipstick of your choice.
  • I love Colorbar Over The Top,but to sheer it out I applied a non-tinted lip balm underneath.
And you are DONE!
