NOT A VERY BAD HAIR DAY

Everyone has a Bad hair day..i mean it is unreasonable to ask your hair to co-operate with you every single day in this messy monsoon..and i had always heard that headband on a bad hair day can save you.It was truly proved when i wore it on a very rainy day here in Delhi when my hair was all going crazy and frizzy.No matter whatever i tried,it ended up looking ridiculous until this Bandana hairband came to my rescue.I think i am going to use more of these in the coming days :)

A RED DAY OUT..

Hello guys,i have been missing in action for almost a year now..though i have been thinking of getting back to blogging but something or the other kept stopping me.But finally now that i am back i decided to start this year with some Indian wear.

 These pictures were clicked on my trip to Konark Temple,Bhubaneshwar. Keeping in mind of the Indian culture and all the beautiful sculptures  and architectures there,i  wanted to wear something Indian.So this full sleeved red suit was the best that i could think of wearing to this place.

   I picked up this suit from Pantaloons,the Angrakha style and the colour of the suit instantly caught my eye and i knew that it would be a worthwhile investment for years to come.It has a beautiful golden and blue border detailing on the bottom of the suit and around the neck.I kept the look simple as it was a day outing,with a blue churidar and golden slippers was an obvious choice keeping in mind the look i wanted to achieve and also for the comfort that it provides.A red bindi,some nude lipstick and lots of kajal and mascara completes the look.

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..
