Bridal Beauty: Tips & Tricks For Your Engagement/Sagan Makeup

By


Engagement Makeup



Marrying into a North Indian family is like getting a crash course on Bollywood weddings and demystifying the various functions and celebrations that are always a part of a Karan Johar movie. From rokka to sagan to chunni-chadhana to teeka to mehendi to sangeet to jai-maala to phere to vidaai, I have been educated about them all...

Of course with a huge number of functions come an equal (if not more) number of outfits and hence makeup. Thus today's makeup is versatile enough to be worn on the lesser functions like the Engagement or the sagan or for chunni-chadhan and even for a Rokka ceremony (if you are having one on a big scale)...

For today's makeup, I have kept the look young, fresh and feminine. As is evident, the color palette for this look consists of pinks and purples, since I have noticed that most brides keep Red or Maroon for the actual wedding ceremony.
So here's the look...









Products Used
1. Kryolan Ultra Foundation (review HERE)
2. Kryolan Translucent Powder
3. Konad Eyebrow Pencil in Black
4. MAC Retrospeck Eyeshadow as highlighter (review HERE)
5. Colorbar I-Glide Pencil in Prunella (review HERE)
6. Inglot Eyeshadow in DS
7. Illamsaqua Blush in Morale (review HERE)
8. Colorbar True Gloss in Radiant Pink (review HERE)
9. Maybelline Colossal Kajal
10. Ellis Faas Mascara in E401 (review HERE)

Tips & Tricks For Your Engagement Makeup

1. Try to keep your Engagement makeup light, fun and young. Go for a more mature and classy look for the actual wedding.
2. Opt for fun shades in the palettes of pinks, greens, light blues and pale goldens.
3. The main focus of your makeup should be on flawless skin and a perfect but natural looking base.
4. Avoid bronzers and contouring as they have an effect of weighing down your entire look.
5. Go on, satiate your cravings for false lashes.

REVIEW: Johnson's Baby Lotion on Adult Skin

By
I am itching to do some makeup EOTDs and LOTDs since a while now but with guests at home I am not getting any time... So for a while you guys are stuck with me doing reviews. Not that my reviews do not need much efforts but as compared to EOTDs and LOTDs, reviews are a little bit less demanding where time constraints are concerned... Don't you agree? :) Today I shall be reviewing the Johnson's baby lotion and before you raise your eye brows and say to yourself "WTF" let me make it absolutely clear that I bought it when I was out of a moisturiser and needed one pronto! This was the only one available and so I just bought it. I figured if it was good for babies, how could it be bad for me? The truth? Read on ;) Johnson's Baby Lotion is Clinically proven to be mild and mild it sure is. It has a soft and soothing fragrance, which I love. Once applied it gets absorbed really fast and does not leave a residual oiliness or greasiness. It would be perfect for normal

Good Health: My Slimming Diet and Exercise Regimen

By
I was planning on starting this post with a quote on health and all that jazz but then I realized you are here reading this post not cause you want to see my writing style but are here cause you actually want to read the contents :) So I will start without much intro but a little disclaimer before that ;) Disclaimer I am not a doctor or a nutritionist or even a dietitian. I have found out from experience what works for me and I am sharing it with you guys. You are to find out what is right for you and make your own permutations and combination to this regimen of mine depending on your target weight, your lifestyle and all :) Before I start there are a couple of points we need to keep in mind: 1. In order to lose weight one needs to burn more calories than you take in. 2. The human body takes about only 1200 calories to do the routine functions of respiration, digestion etc. 3. Just because you are not taking 3 full meals a day does not mean that you are starving yourself or ar

Makeup Class: Difference Between A Bronzer, A Highlighter, An Illuminator & A Brightener

By
  Bronzer Vs Highlighter Vs Illuminator Vs Brightener  Very often than not being a beauty blogger I come across the terms Bronzer, Highlighter, Brightener and Illuminator at least a dozen times a day. These terms are everywhere and people use them in their daily conversation with so much confidence that you'd be surprised at how wrong many of them are in their usages. Oh! Yes even I have made mistakes in the past about their connotations and today armed with research, experiments and well just plain analysis I have reached a consensus where I can now confidently put forth the results of my hard work... Yes, today ladies and gentlemen, I shall be clearing all the confusion that prevails behind Bronzers, Highlighters, Illuminators and Brighteners!
