Make-up for relative/ friend’s wedding! (Indian) – Part 1.

Hey girls.. I know I’ve been MIA for a week now. I was away for celebrating my 2nd anniversary and now that I’m back… I decided to quickly do a couple of looks

This is actually a very very long delayed post.  My very good, beautiful and Intelligent friend Janhavi has to attend an engagement ceremony which is of a close relative so I decided to do a couple of eye looks for her… Hope you like it

Step 1: Prime, Prime and Prime – It makes the eyeshadows last longer and the pigment does not look sheer. Step 2: I took this light champagne shade  and applied it all over the lid.
Step 3: I took a matte brown eyeshadow and applied it on the crease in a wind-shield wiper motion.

I also applied it closer to the lashes on the lower lid and blended it out.

Step 4: I took a matte black E/s and placed it as a dot on the outer-V area with a pencil brush.

And then blended it with a fluffy brush – like so:
Step 5:  So far it looks like this :
Step 6: I used this bronzey shade and applied it on the inner 1/3rd of the eye.
Step 7: Also applied on the lower lash-line.
Step 8: Used a golden-ish pearly e/s and applied it in the inner tear duct part of the eyes… It gives a fresh highlighted look to the eyes. (can use any light pearly shadow here)
step 9: applied eyeliner on the upper and lower lash-line… A winged liner would also look great

Step 10: Take a nice rose-colored blush and apply it on the apples of the cheeks pulling it upwards near the temple- like so: 

Step 11:  Use a nice rose-pink lipstick [mine got over :(] and you’re finished

Extra : you can also highlight your face for the extra glow… take an off-white pearl e/s and with your finger/small brush apply  (blend) it on the higher part of the  cheeks, down the bridge of the nose and on the cupid’s bow (upper lip)  … this will make the face glow in flash photography
Hope I helped

Part 2 coming up

P.S – I’m looking all puffy coz of Airline induced water retention. will be back to my old self in a week

Also, All brushes are purchased from Sigma and you can get them here.

What’s in my bag Featuring Suma Samyukta!

Happy friday again chicas…. and once again I bring to you a gorgeous blogger – also my friend- and we get to peek inside  her bag… *yayyynesss*

So here’s what Samyukta says:

Hey Bee,
Here’s my list:
I generally do not carry much in my bag, as I hate to do touch-ups in the middle of the day Still these are the products that you’ll always find on me
1. Q-Tips -> For emergency touch-ups and to remove goop accumulated in the inner corner of the eye. Ewwwww…
2. A Perfume Sample (for emergencies) – Right now it’s TBS White Libertine -> Every time I visit TBS they give me like 10-15 perfume samples! Sigghhhh… Keeping them in purses help me use them ;).
3. Lip Gloss/Lipstick – Colorbar Star Shine Lip Gloss in Chai/MAC Taupe -> I love how the combo looks so naturally glossy on my lips It’s my S/S 2012 staple
4. Lakme Absolute Moonlit Highter Duo -> I use it for highlighting as well as for bronzing and it generally helps me get an immediate lift-up
5. Maybelline Gel Liner
6. Fancy/floral hair accessory.-> For the instant boho-chic look. Perfect for Summers

Thanks a ton Sam  Hope you all like this feature. I invite all you people to share with us what’s in your bag we sure love to sneak
