SEA COATED

Hello people,sorry for missing in action for such a long time.These photographs were shot on our outing at Greece.Not that i had planned the shoot for this look,but as soon as my guy started clicking i found out that it kinda turned out to be nice and so thought it was a must share.This casual look was very easily attained by some simple mix and match.With the weather in Greece not being too warm nor too cold,i wanted to wear something to just cover myself keeping in mind that it shouldn't be too warm.This MANGO BLAZER with folded sleeves which added a more casual essence to the look fit right into the place.Denim was an obvious choice with it and to add a little monochromatic look i decided to pair it with a sleeveless white vest from STRADIVARIUS.The moustache chain added the hint of colour i wanted to this ensemble.Makeup was kept minimal with little kohl on both my upper and lower lid and nude lips.

SUNKISSED ENSEMBLE

I have been waiting to be clicked in this Bright yellow top which is one of  my favourite new acquisition that i picked up from ZARA. What made me instantly fall for this top was the Chiffon detailing on the arm and the hem that added a glam quotient to a otherwise simple top.After a lot of brainstorming i realised that white pants would suit the best and do complete justice to this fresh colour.This ensemble was all about casual dressing on a summer evening,nothing really experimental about the look apart from the denim jacket that i decided to team it with the rest of the attire.Kept the makeup minimal with dark eyes and orange hued lips.

HOW TO DISTRESS YOUR DENIM !!!

 

Don't we all love distressed denims? What if I told you that you could create one all by your self without having to shell a bomb for it? Nothings more satisfying than wearing your favourite stuff created by you. You can always buy distress denim, however you can also make one of your own. It’s a very simple process, just a few steps and u can get a trendy piece of it. To start with you can always use an old pair of denim, but just ensure to be careful with the tools & don't overdo it!

Today for my DIY project i have used my guy's denim to create the oversized ripped look; that is so much in these days.

 

TOOLS REQUIRED:

1. Paper Knife

2. Scissors

3. Tweezers

4. Safety Pin

5. Pen

6. Sandpaper.

 

 

 

STEP 1: Lay the denim on a flat surface and mark the places where you would like to fray it. There is no particular shape, size or place for it. Just ensure that you figure out where the stress point is because these are the places where your denim would wear out naturally. Here I have marked the thighs, the knees and a little on the shin.

 

 

STEP 2: Using a paper knife start creating the holes, tear or rip that you are aiming for. As u can see in the picture I have made horizontal tears on the denim to get the frayed look. In order to protect the other side of the denim you may want to insert a wooden block or any hard surface into the pant leg.

 

 

STEP 3: This would be the trickiest step. To create a bigger ripped look where you see the horizontal white threads on the pants you would need to use a tweezer to pull out the vertical blue threads. To make it look torn you will need to use a safety pin to carefully pull out the white horizontal threads ensuring that you don't damage the blue threads.

 

 

This is how it should look after you have completed Step 3.

 

STEP 4: After you are done with the above mentioned step, use the scissors to remove the extra threads that come out on the sides.

 

STEP 5: Use a coarse sandpaper to gently rub these areas to give a natural frayed look.

STEP6: Wash your denim to enhance the tearing and distressing that you have just made.

 

 

Finally your denim should look this way after you have done all the steps mentioned.

 

 

Be it a loose sweater, jumper or a fitted top, your denim is good to go with almost anything.

WHITES & NUDES ...

With so much raves and rants about the Halo look this spring i just had to try it. The nude palette perfects the natural features for an easy to wear look that lasts round the clock .If you are trying to give your skin a breather with minimal makeup yet highlighting your best features then this is the best way to do it. Moreover this is low on maintenance, you can wear it during the day without worrying about smudging your kajal or your foundation spilling .So gals i will give you a few
easy tips to wear it.

 

FACE: As mentioned in the previous post this time too i started with a tinted moisturiser post which dotted illuminator (REVLON PHOTOREADY SKINLIGHTS FACE ILLUMINATOR) all over my face and collarbones to give a more dewy complexion.

 

EYES: EYE SHADOW USED: QUATTRO EYE SHADOW 05 by ESSENCE.

             To start with i covered my eyelids with the Shimmery Beige colour followed by the Brownish nude shade which was added to the outer corner of the eyes to intensify it. Next i lined the upper rim of my eyes with a Brown pencil to give It a soft look (LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL - BROWN).Ensure that you make the line as close as possible to the lash line. Now coming to the lower lid, a White eyepencil (WATER PROOF EYEPENCIL 113) on my water line to instantly give the pick-me-up feel. I also used the brown pencil to outline the lower lid and then smudged it with the ring finger to make it look diffused. At last I completed the eye makeup with 2 coats of mascara to my lashes.

 

EYEBROWS: I have been trying to grow out the eyebrows to have a more bushy look however it is always essential to tweeze the extras. Bushier eyebrows have been so much in trend lately; it instantly adds the androgynous factor to your overall appearance. Hence I used DARK BROWN 286 by DEBORAH to fill in my eyebrows for the added look.

 

LIPS: Blending 2 or more colours is always the best way to get that perfect shade for your lips and for this i used LAKME TOFFEE NEXUS MB4 and MAYBELLINE BRONZE ORANGE CB42.After filling in the colours with a lip brush i topped it with a SHEER LIP GLOSS by LOVE & BEAUTY.

 

 

 

 

  

CHEEKS: Finally MAYBELLINE CHEEKY GLOW--PEACHY SWEETIE was applied on the top of the cheeks to give that rosy blush.

 

 

 With the final stroke of blush on your cheeks you have instantly become a part of the most trending spring summer look.

BRONZED!!!

Here goes my first blog!

No other place apart from Goa could have done justice to my entire look.The Sea,the sand and the scorching sun just blends perfectly with the appearence.Today i'll tell you all about what i did to get this  beach bronzed look. 

BODY AND FACE : I applied a tinted moisturiser along with sun block cream( LAKME SUN EXPERT SPF30++) for my face after which used HONEY BRONZE SHIMMERING DRY OIL by BODYSHOP.,it has been used both for my face and body.It gives the perfect bronzed finish without any stain on your clothes or any sticky feeling moreover it gives your skin an even bronzed look with a hint of shimmer.If you want a bronzed-sheen to your skin - then I highly recommend this product! Plus, it smells fabulous! After which i dusted some bronzing powder on my face and neck to seal the look and give a more matte effect.You really wouldn't want to use any foundation or concealer because of the humid weather which is the reason why the tinted moisturiser has been used to conceal whatever flaws i had before proceeding with the rest of the makeup. 

EYES: For the eyes CHAMBOR GLOWING EARTH 88 and 03 GRAY PINK by MAYBELLINE has been used.First applied the golden nude eye shadow to my entire upper lid.Then the brick brown to my outer corner of the lid to dramatise my eyes a bit.Make sure you blend both the colours well.With dark eyes being my preference i end up using a lot of liquid eyeliner but in this case i wanted a more smudged and smoky effect for which i used black eyeshadow on my upper lash line blending it well with the rest of colours.LAKME EYECONIC KAJAL(BLACK) to my inner lash line has been used to give the eyes some depth and also applied the same to my lower lash line then using the index finger i smudged the kajal. Also used an EYE ILLUMINATOR by REVLON on my lower water line to give the eyes a fresh look. Last i applied 2 coats of Mascara CRAZY VOLUME by ESSENCE to the lashes. 

EYEBROWS: Your Eyes can never look perfect without your eyebrows done properly.So DARK BROWN 286 by DEBORAH has been made use of to fill up the brows and give it a tamed look.If u already have thick eyebrows you may want to use a clear mascara instead of any eyebrow pencil to give it a clean finish. 

LIPS : 2 shades of lip colour was mixed  to get this Pinkish nude colour.First I used a WATERPROOF LIPLINER 201 to outline the lips and then filled in the colours TOFFEE NEXUS MB4 by LAKME and D37 by FLORMOR with a lip brush. 

CHEEKS: Applied TRUE MATCH BLUSH GOLDEN APRICOT by LOREAL on the apple of my cheeks. 

And Voila the bronzed look is achieved. 

CLOTHING : Got this trendy colourful dress from Goa itself.You have plenty of options to choose from on the streets of Goa when it comes to Beach dresses and i instantly fell for this beautiful satin dress at the very first glimpse.Loved the colour and the print and started visualising what all can be accessorised it with.This dress completes the sun kissed look.And For obvious i could only think Golden and brass jewellery for this.. 

Please feel free to comment on what you guys think about this entire look..
