” Makeup is an extraordinary tool that allows me to share my inspirations, my fantasies, and my vision with the world”
PAT McGRATH

Glittery eye accents and warm highlights are definite standouts for any season, especially when we are transforming from one season to another. And taking this to newer heights by trying on earthy tones is a bang-on! My love for earthy tones will never end and also it’s my mantra when I am not planning to go overboard and keep it close to simple. Earthy shades always glam up the whole look by keeping it subtle which other shades or colour palettes rarely do. You can play any which way with these earthy shades as they rarely go wrong and can be experimental any time you want.

Let me decode one such makeup look which includes all earthy shades from head to toe as you can accessorize this look with a proper hairdo and take this to next level.

Like previous tutorials again we have to focus on three major areas to nail this look!

Let me start with:

CHEEKS

Moisturise your skin, I used Aveeno Moisturiser the best suitable for any skin type.

Do a liitle Poreless primer, I used Wet and Wild Primer all over my face.

Apply foundation and dab it evenly. I used Elf Flawless Finish Foundation.

Will use bronzer in the end, not now.

EYES

Choose an ordinary eyliner, I used Nyx Eyeliner make it winged liner to enhance the look.

Well shaped Eyebrows is a bonus feature to add with this.
Glam it up with gold or bronze accents.
This eye makeup involves a warm metallic earthy shade for an eyeshadow as per your skin tone, I used L’oreal Infalliable Eyeshadow.

Swipe up the mascara to amp up the look.

You can slightly play with the eyes by giving hint of metallic dab to inner and outer corners.

LIPS

This look demands something ingenious to go with.
Just a hint of nude gloss lipstick, I used L’oreal Pro Gloss lipstick.

Yes, you are right! not a right time to wear statement lips as we are looking for overall earthy look for a face. So nothing works best then Nudes.

Finally, give a hint of bronzer to the cheeks which belong to an earthy colour palette for finishing!

Not to mention, to augment the whole look I opted for a voluminous top knot with geometrical earrings.

Everything on the face feels so real and natural with a hint of metallic glam but still ethereal and that’s the whole beauty of this makeup do! I hope you guys like it and give it a try for your next night out with family or friends.

Stay safe, Keep Smiling!

EARTHY WORTHY!

PAINT IT OR KEEP IT FRENCH?

LIFE IS NOT PERFECT BUT YOUR NAILS CAN BE!
..

In this blog post, I am taking you to the most interesting comparison or opinionated nail theory regarding your nails. A million-dollar question is whether you want to keep them painted sophisticatedly or you want to go elegant by doing a French manicure. The debate is endless and so are the discussions. But to each his own, if you ask me I totally go with the time and occasion or probably season to carry one out of the two. But here I am going to compare both of these nail trends which I was eyeing to do for so long.

The difference between the polished and scruffy is in the way you paint your nails. Do try both of these looks this summer.

But before moving so we have to keep a few things in mind :

a) Exfoliate your hands and nails before applying nail polish.

b) Remove all traces of old polish and clean dry your hands.

c) Oil in nails can deter polish from being applied evenly.

d) Using a basecoat strengthens the nail. Some products help even out any imperfections or dips in the mail.

e) Nail polish peels off faster if you don’t dry each coat completely before applying a new coat.

f) If your nails have ridges use a ridge filler.

g) Taking Vit-B supplements regularly helps strengthen nails.

Let’s start with :

PAINTED SOPHISTICATION

Apply a base coat to your nails. let it dry completely.
Dip the brush in the nail polish coat it completely, then wipe the brush on the inside edge of the bottle to remove any excess paint.
Apply with the brush starting from the cuticle edge to the tip in a single sweep, positioning the brush to the center of the nail.
Now apply the next stroke in a similar way to the left of the earlier stroke and then similarly on the right, doing this till you paint the entire nail. Then apply second coat.
Finish it off with clear polish and let it dry completely.

PS: Move the bottle gently in between your palms instead of shaking it vigorously before applying, as it may cause air bubbles.

FRENCH ELEGANCE

Apply a base coat to your nail. Let it dry completely.
Now place a tip guide on your nail that covers the bottom part of your nail and help you get a clear white tip.
Use white polish to paint the tips of your nail in a clean motion, following the curve of your nail or painting straight if you want a sqaure tip. Let it dry.
Now use a sheer or clear pink nail paint and paint over the whole nail from cuticle to to tip, following the instructions as mentioned in the single colour, let it dry and apply a second coat.
Finish off with a coat of clear polish over the entire nail and let it dry completely.

PS: A clear polish gives your nails a proper finish. Applying a clear polish every couple of days will also make your french manicure last longer.

So above are a few steps to do the nail of your own like and kind. If you personally ask me I will definitely keep occasion or season in mind to actually nail this nail look. Hope you guys can try these simple steps to see how your nails come out to be. For painted nails, you can opt for any colour of your choice and for French Manicured nails at home you can buy a kit with everything inside it all you have to do is just follow the instructions.

So enjoy beautiful nails and Take care!

Stay safe! Stay Healthy!

TOUCH IT! AND BLEND OVER

BLEND IN YOUR OWN WAY
Anonymous

Wishing you had the kind of flawless, glowing complexion that only the soft-focus filter on your phone camera seems to achieve? Let’s introduce you to a real-world miracle worker, the Makeup Sponge. A beauty tool that helps you blend your foundation perfectly, the sponge ensures even coverage and is pretty easy to use, once you’ve learnt a few basic tricks.

INVINCIBLE EGG

The makeup sponge has been around for a long time. The most common ones were the stiff, triangle-shaped ones that were used to even out pancake foundations. But they had their own drawbacks, so when the egg-shaped Beauty Blender was created by Makeup artist Rea Ann Silva in 2002, it pretty much took the world by storm.

There are many makeup sponges available in the market and picking the right one makes a big difference. The sponge is soft on the skin and, unlike makeup brushes, it does not emphasize dry patches and flakiness.

SUPER SPONGE

These days makeup sponges are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and colours to suit every need. While the iconic egg-shaped Beauty Blender occupies a special position in most beauty kits. The best part is that they are available in all possible sizes. The really tiny ones are brilliant to use on the under eyes area. A few come with flat surfaces as well, which work perfectly for contour lines.

WHEN BUYING MAKEUP SPONGE

When buying a makeup sponge, look for something that is soft and porous. Small sponges are great for spot application to hide marks on acne. The pointed tip of the sponge is great to target smaller areas of your face such as the corners of the eyes and areas around your nose. The flat surface on some sponges is great for powder application and to cover larger areas on your face.

BLEND BASICS: DO’S AND DONT’S

Don’t use a dirty sponge or the same sponge for too many products. Mixing products on a sponge isn’t a great idea.
Only use a best quality or you will end up doing more than good.
Do not drag or rub the sponge on the skin; instead use a dab or roll motion.
After blending the foundation with a brush, dab rather than rub, the blender all over the face make sure you don’t remove products.
Dampen the sponge the right way and when you squeeze the waterout.

Blending sponge’s popularity is its versatility. Tend to use it to apply blush, moisturizer, corrector and highlighter to contour, define brows, apply eyeliner and also to tone a look and evenly apply powder on the face.

Blenders are every beauty expert’s go-to tool. You really need it in your life right now to change your beauty game.

I hope you like the post. Thank you for reading!

RASPBERRY RUSH

I BELIEVE ALL THE THE WOMEN ARE PRETTY WITHOUT MAKEUP BUT WITH THE RIGHT MAKEUP PRETTY POWERFUL
BOBBI BROWN

RASPBERRY RUSH

Fashion and Beauty choices are never predictable. Sometimes you want to go subtle sometimes bold, sometimes glittery and sometimes natural.

I really heart this berry-hued lip colour makeup tutorial. This winter it’s one of the juiciest colours of the season as they say” Berries for Winters”. This berry shade can be toned down for the day and amp for the night and will work on most skin tones. If you love to try this look as much as I did, here is the tutorial:

Let’s start with

FACE

The first thing you notice about this look is that it calls for a fuss-free base.

Start with a moisturiser

Follow up with a good eye cream. I picked Neutrogena as it suits me a lot.

Dab foundation on forehead, cheeks and chin and evenly blend it in with your finger tips or sponge.

Using a puff apply pressed powder and buff away with big powder brush.

Keep the cheeks bare for optimal look.

EYES

Need to keep the freshness of colours.

I am using shimmery and subdued pink eyeshadow all over the eyelids, starting from brow bone extending to lash line. Blend it well with an eyeshadow blending brush.

Next, take a small eyeliner brush and create winged liner with eyeshadow in purple. It does’t have to be perfect line, you can even smudge the corners out if you like.

Add the finishing touches with two generous coats of a volumising mascara.

LIPS

Depending on how intense you want your lips to look

Define the lips with lipstick brush before filling in the colour.

Apply two coats of your favourite Matte Lipstick in Raspberry Syrup.

If you notice, the makeup on the eyes is quite subtle and has natural undertones allowing the bold lip colour to stand out. I am in love with this matte Raspberry shade lipstick and always love to experiment with my wardrobe and makeup.

Love the makeup so much that I am going to try this out quite a few times, just love the freshness on the face after finishing the look. Do give it a try and drop a comment in the comment box that how you like it!

Thank you so much for reading! You can watch a tutorial of this amazing makeup look on my INSTAGRAM REEL.

Stay safe! Stay Beautiful from the inside out!

RADIANT ROSEGOLD MAKEUP

“LIFE ISN’T PERFECT, BUT YOUR MAKEUP CAN BE ROSE GOLD”
Anonymous

As they say, all that glitters is not gold “It is Rose Gold”. This unique Copper-Gold hue has been gracing us with its presence via accessories like watches, earrings, bags, neckpieces, shoes, and other stuff; but what impresses me most is the Rose Gold Makeup. From luminescent to luscious lids, rose gold is a wearable tone for any daily look makeup.

Rose Gold embodies both warm and cool qualities. Here in this blog, I am going to try and achieve a natural yet eye-catching rose gold makeup look, which you can incorporate it into your routine makeup look books to shimmer and shine together.
