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.

Cover The Cover: Harper's Bazaar (India) March 2012

You all know that I love tweaking my blog here and there and making some changes, introducing newer features and well sometimes just hooking the blog onto some social networking site :) Well this time I am introducing a new feature that I promise will be really exciting for all beauty enthusiasts :) To start with this feature is called "Cover The Cover" where I shall be covering the cover pages of our favorite beauty and fashion magazines in terms of make-up. There are times when a certain look on a celeb or a fashion mag just gets to us. Well rather than just mulling over such looks I have decided to give life to such looks (on me) and well do a kind of a faux photo shoot ;) What say? Doesn't it sound like fun? What more? You are all invited to submit your looks with a reference to which magazine and edition you are covering and I'll post it here :)

Today's look is inspired by my latest fav mag Harper's Bazaar. The March edition of Harper's Bazaar is a …

REVIEW: L'Oreal Paris Infallible Blush Paint Longwear High Impact Stick - Fuchsia Fame

Review of L'Oreal Paris Infallible Blush Paint Longwear High Impact Stick - Fuchsia Fame
Right now am sitting at the dining table trying to figure out a way to start this post in an "interesting" way... I am obviously struggling... There are these times when your mind just goes blank and you can't think of anything, right? Yeah, I am having one of those moments...

So, I guess I'll directly dive into the review and not mull around. I bought the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Blush Paint Stick on a whim... I was out window shopping at Shoppers Stop and I just happened to glance at the L'Oreal counter and this cute little stub caught my fancy... The moment I swatched it I knew I had to buy it...




Price of L'Oreal Paris Infallible Blush Paint Stick It costs a whopping INR 999/-

There is nothing much to talk about the packaging. It is exactly what it looks like, a rotating chubby stick with a cap. The plastic doesn't seem cheap and is pretty sturdy. I have d…

How I Wear My Denim Jacket To Be In Trend for 2018

How I Wear My Denim Jacket To Be In Trend for 2018 Denim is forever. It's versatility makes it a classic and in the form of a jacket it not just looks dapper and en vogue but is also comfortable and convenient... I love denim jackets because they are perfect for Pune's so called Winters and because they are the best accessories for any kind of outfit...




Going through some of the Fall Winter 2017-18 collections from the likes of Calvin Klein, Christian Dior and Stella McCartney, denim on denim seemed to be the trend in boxy and boyish silhouettes. I am not a very big fan of denim and denim and hence I prefer to pair my boxy denim jacket with a flowy, floral dress that makes the look strike a balance between feminine and androgynous.
