HOW TO DO MAKEUP - A BEGINNER'S GUIDE

Heyya Lovelies..

Hmmmm well by seeing the header you all must be wondering "babe we all know how to do makeup..why this now?"

I have been thinking to do this post since a long time. Trust me there are people who are still ignorant about the right steps to do makeup. I have seen my friends, who are so busy in work that neither they have inclination to do makeup and nor they know the exact process..how can I see that? how how how?  :P

Step 1:

Cleansing, Toning Moisturizing. Yes this is a must do process. Not only before going to bed, or after removing makeup but before applying makeup too. Cleanser removes all the dirts and impurity from your face, toner  tightens your pores and minimize the chances of breakouts because you are going to use loads of makeup on your face :D. Do apply moisturizer after that, it hydrates and moisturizes your skin and I personally feel it gives a certain amount of glow to your face.




Step 2:

Primer. People are ignorant about the function of a primer and generally I have seen very few people using a face and an eye primer. But dear all, to make your makeup lasts for a longer time you need to apply primer on your face. It makes your face velvety soft and there after is becomes easy to apply rest of the products. In the market, there are different primers available for eyes and face, but I use a single one for both. It gives the same result only.




Step 3:

Concealer. We all know concealer is a very important part of facial makeup. It hides imperfections, dark circles, spots, and what not. Please use a concealer which is a close match of your skin color or else you will look like a ghost with white patch (ehhhhhh!)



Step 4:

Foundation. we all know foundation is the foundation of makeup (hehe what a nonsense rhyme it was). choose a water based one for oily skin and moisturizing one for dry skin. And yes one with has SPF and blend it well. the foundation should also be matching to your skin so that it does not leaves a white cast on your face. I have seen people using foundation lighter than their skin color. They do not understand that that is not how one looks flawless. The one which matches with your face makes you look natural and beautiful.




Step 5:

Powder. To last your foundation more, and to set it you have to use a compact or a loose powder. Use a matte powder, it is in the trend babe :D



Step 6:

Lipstick/ Lipgloss. Dab your favorite lipstick on to your lips. If you are a lipgloss person then you can use it too. But yes before filling in your lips do scrub your lips religiously. Or else a chapped lips does not look nice as you all know and yes lipstick will settle down in the fine lines.




Step 7:

Lip Liner. Well some people use lip liner at first and then lipstick. But I generally prefer to use liner afterwards as it helps me to line the lips perfectly in case some of the lipstick goes out of the corners.



Step 8:

Eye Shadow. You have prepped our eyes with the primer at first and had dabbed powder. Now you can dab your favorite eyeshadow. There are people who do their eyes first and then lips but I always prefer doing my lips first because, then I can measure how much amount of eye makeup do I need to do so that I do not over do my face and I look like someone from the circus.



Step 9:

Eye liner / Kajal. Line your eye lids with eye liner and the lower lines with kajal.




Step 10:

Mascara. Roll up your mascara on the lashes and extend it to make it look longer.




And you are ready to set the floor on fire.

I hope this post will help all the young makeup users. Do let me know how useful it was to you.

COLOR OF THE YEAR -2014

A very Happy New Year to all of you...

My 2014 To-Do List is just swamped with so many resolutions and targets I have set for myself and its only the beginning of the year and I am juggling to justify all those..But I am sure I will do all of them...yahaayyy!!

Anyway lets come to the main "mudda" now. Working in an advertising agency gives me us a lot of information from the world of creativity , color and etc. We get to know things much before than the world.

So when the PANTONE color of 2014 was declared, I was happy that atleast now I can share it with all my fellows..

The Pantone color of the year 2014 isssssssss- RADIANT ORCHID...tadaaaa!!



Actually by this time everybody came to know , I am a bit late actually..  :(



So you might be wondering what is a PANTONE ?

Well the answer to that is Pantone is a system of matching the exact colors, generally used in printing technology. The Pantone Inc gives out shade cards with numbers mentioned on it and the colors are matched  by referring to that shade card.

If I am not wrong the Pantone Inc. had started declaring the color of the year since 1999..since then every year they come up with one unique color for the year. The color is generally picked up by forecasting industry trends, popular color used in fashion industry, cosmetics, printing, fabrics and what not....

RADIANT ORCHID is a bright nice purple color. I feel it is just awesomely tempting..it just looks like my black current ice cream (yeeeeeee.....well it is much more radiant than the black current).

So babes just rock the floor with lovely orchid eyeshadows, purses, wallets, dresses, high heels, ear studs....yooooooo

Bag Haul from FOREVER NEW...

My Birthday week has never been so excited...

After all my surprise gifts from the PP, it seems one of my loved brand has decided to gift me something very special.

Well I am talking about the Forever New Sale where the whole store was on 50% sale on accessories and 40% on clothing & shoes.

We have recently got a Forever New store opened in our office premises in DLF Galleria.

One of my colleagues, informed me about the Sale. That day I was not on heavy work load so thought of giving it a visit keeping in mind that I will only buy one bag and that too for office and meetings purposes.

When I went to the store, I found the store to be swamped with ladies (quite obvious during sale periods)

I spent 45 mins picking up bags and looking into the mirror which one suits me the best. And eventually I liked one bag which was actually being bought by my same colleague who told me about the sale :P ( then & there I texted her "sorry But I could not resist taking that bag hahaha)



The actual joy of surprise came to me when the item was billed. From 3600 INR to 1795 only. Now that is what a girl loves about the sale and that is what a great deal is.



Last month I saw the same bag but 3800 seemed quite a bit at that time. (God is always looking after my desires it seems :D)

Well I was content after getting the bag , when in the evening some more colleagues decided to go again. And  quite obvious I could not resist myself going there.

This time I was helping my colleague picking up a bag, when this animal printed bag came to my notice, which I saw during my visit but I ignored as I was looking for a bigger bag.

You can Buy bags from HERE



I was so mesmerized by the prints that I could not resist myself picking up that bag too and the price is a steal INR 3400 discounted to  INR 1700 only.



Whooo the year is ending on a good note for me it seems with lots of gifts, nice bags, clothes and I hope more to come before the year ends  :D



Do you all like the bag haul? Let me Know..
