Great Make-up: Yasmeen Ghauri 2007-08-11 22:28:00 I have always loved Yasmeen
Ghauri (always). I was so happy to come across a breakdown of her make-up. It's such a vampy look but still understated.The products mentioned aren't available anymore, but I have a couple of suggestions:Instead of Estee Lauder's Rose Tutu blush, Milani Mango Tango dusted on very lightly. I know this is discontinued but you might still be able to find it. Another suggestion is Nars Turkish Red.Instead of Estee Lauder's Silent Red lipstick, Bobbi Brown Chocolate Cherry rouge pot.Instead of Estee Lauder's Gala eyeshadow duo, try Nars Blondie or Bali for a medium, matte taupe. As a highlighter colour you could try any creamy beige.Face:Prep skin with the moisturizer and eye cream of your choice. Let it sink if for approximately 10 to 15 minutes. Apply a medium, satin finish foundation. Don't forgot to blend into the neck. Apply concealor where needed, making sure to blend the concealor into the foundation. Apply translucent powder to set the base.Eyes:As Read more:Great
Diagram: Placement of the Blush When Contouring 2007-08-11 20:24:00 For the tutorial below, I made a diagram to show the are you want to blend the blush out to.The area within the triangle is where you would ideally like to keep within the triangle. Blend the blush outwards from the initial blush application to the edges of the triangle. Make sure that there are no harsh lines. Read more:Diagram

Easy Way to Get Intant Cheekbones 2007-08-11 18:34:00 There are a various ways to contour cheekbones into existence and I have different preferences depending on my mood. I wanted to post one before but the pics were beyond crap and I didn't like the tutorial in general. So I'm bringing you a new and slightly different version. Also, I know there are many out there whose skin hates cream blush so I'll bring you one soon with a bronzer/powder blush.What I used:Cream blush. I used Bobbi Brown's Chocolate Cherry Rouge Pot. Any blush on the darker side will do.Step 1:Start of with clean moisturized skin. I prefer not to scrub my face before doing this because it can get red which spoils the effect. If you want you can do your foundation now, however I skipped the step (yes, I'm lazy).Step 2:Suck in the cheeks and make the classic and highly elegant "fish face" This way you can see where the cheekbones end. The shadows that show up are the edge of the cheekbone.Step 3:I added this step to clarify where I'm going to put my blush. I am goi
InStyle Excerpt: How to Get Aishwarya's Waves 2007-08-06 23:30:00 I was browsing around (while I should have been studying really) when I came across this scan of Aishwarya
in InStyle magazine.I haven't tried to do this myself, but hey it should prove interesting.I just realized the picture's too small to actually read what was written, so here's what it says.How to Style it:Create a deep side part and comb a thickening spray (like Bumble and Bumble's) through damp hair to provide curl-retaining texture.Rub a dollop of leave-in conditioner (such as Neutrogena's Silk Touch) over ends.After blow-drying hair smooth, curl one-and-a-half inch sections with a medium barrel curling iron (one option: Jilbere de Paris Ceramic Tools Nano Tech), wrapping each section downward toward the neck. When the curls cool, brush out to create a solid wave, then mist with medium hold hairspray (try Sebastian Shaper)image taken from www.aishwarya-forever.com Read more:Waves
Bear With Me And All My Nonsensical Experimenting 2007-08-05 19:30:00 I'm trying out a new template (this is not it) and will have it up in a bit. This is my "i'll put something better up in a few days" template. Yeah, I'm really computer savvy by the way. Can't figure out which is the monitor and which is the keyboard.
A Great Palette for a Lot of Skin Tones 2007-08-04 22:23:00 I think we have already established that I love make-up. Love as in "I want to marry it" kind of love. Which is a fine, healthy thing for a woman to experience in her life. So I have a wide range of make-up looks that I love and as much as I love perfect neutrals, I also have a strong passion for colourful, bold hues. I am ashamed to admit that I once had the following conversation with someone, whom we shall call Ms. X (sounds mysterious doesn't it?), who remarked on my love for colour.Me: Hello!Ms. X: Oh my! *crosses self* Child... You have the devil in you. The devil!Me: I uh... Hello?Ms. X: You have them crazy eyes. Just look at you! Your eyes. They're looking at me all funny.Me: Are you... Referring to my eyeshadow maybe?Ms. X: Ah! Don't look at me. Sit there, I'll be right back with some holy water-I mean Evian. Stay!Me: I have facial wipes if that helps.Alright so I kid (slightly), but once in a while, I find a great product that works for a broad range of skin tones (for th Read more:Great

Dear Malaika Arora: Do You Not Hear Those Poor Souls Wailing? 2007-07-31 01:27:00 I know you very sweet (I’m being genuine here, when I stat talking about the pic my fangs will be on display) ladies have disagreed with me in the past over my choice of lowlights. However, for the sake of fashion and deskank-ification, I need you full moral support. Agreed, this blog concentrates on beauty and make-up issues but that thing, that poor cloth, that Malaika Arora
has draped over her is calling to me. I can hear the collective wails of ever single fiber that constitutes the cloth as they perish. This pic was taken at the Blueberry mobile event on July 25, 2007. This is a bad pic but rest assured it is indeed her. I wanted you to see what she was wearing, let's try not to laugh here, in its entirity. I read a book once where a witch made a tapestry out of the souls of her victims. The grapevine tells me Malaika did the something along the same lines. I believe Malaika went through a perilous journey, first by killing every brain cell that told her not to wear this ever Read more:Souls
The Awesomeness That Is Clint Fernandes Replied With Suggestions 2007-07-27 11:28:00 I regularly look at the online portfolios of make-up artists for inspiration and guidance. It's the make-up equivalent of going to the top of a hill in a storm, raising a lightning rod with your bare hands, and then finally being struck by lightning. One of the Indian make-up artists whose work is great to get ideas and make-up inspiration from is Clint Fernandes
, whose online portfolio you can view here.Shilpa was so sweet as to post links to his tutorials at www.indiwo.com and I figured what the hey, why not contact him. So I send him an email and didn't really expect much of it. I think it is Santa who ruined my psyche and made me this pessimistic (I used to write to him regularly and refused to believe he wasn't real, but that's another story altogether). Much to my surprise, I found a reply from Clint Fernandes in my inbox this morning. How awesome is that? Much better than Santa (seriously, all those handwritten letters, not a single reply).So here are my questions and Clint
Shilpa Shetty's Somewhat Questionable Beauty Secrets 2007-07-25 22:44:00 I was surfing on the internet and found the following article on ShilpaShetty
in www.sundaymirror.co.uk. I will hold my comments until after you finish reading the article, so here is the interview:I spend too much on… Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer. I love it. They gave me some on a flight and as soon as I landed I went and bought some more.My beauty regime is… simple. I never use soap on my face, and I always make sure I take my make-up off at night. I use a concoction of baby oil and coconut oil in equal parts – it’s the best thing for my skin.My best beauty bargain is… beetroot! If you want a natural flush, boil some beetroot in the microwave and rub a bit on your cheeks over your moisturiser. It always comes out the right colour.My beauty addiction is… collecting lipsticks. I’m quite a freak about them. I have the same pink shade in every make, but I can’t stop buying them. I especially love Estee Lauder lipsticks.My fragrance reminds me of… happy times.

A Great Blush and Some Lipstick and Gloss Obsessions 2007-07-25 21:15:00 Bobbi Brown Blush in ApricotSince I'm on vacation now, you won't believe this, I don't travel with three traincases containing every make-up item I own. Unbelievable, I know. I know you expected me to travel with at least one traincase. Sorry to disappoint. However, I did bring along Bobbi Brown blush in Apricot. In the pan it's a heart stopping (that would be to you, I mark sunrise at the time the sunlight brightens up my pigment-endowed eyeshadows and blushes just right) bright apricot with strong pink undertones.For those who are scared that it's a clown-effect waiting to happen, rest assured that the blush itself is sheer enough that it makes application easy. The blush has just the right amount of pigment that I felt that my skunk brush gave me too sheer an application and chose a conventional blush brush instead. The texture blends beautifully into my cheeks and allows me to calibrate the intensity of my application. The blush itself is long lasting and gives me an innocent Read more:Great

Mickey Contractor's Look 2007-07-25 00:34:00 I found an article where MickeyContractor
, a Bollywood make-up artist, gives a detailed description on how to get a specific look. So here it is, enjoy! Mickey Contractor, one of Bollywood's top makeup artists, has seen makeup in Indian cinema go from the caked matte finish and heavy eyes and lips of the 1980s to the current look of natural-looking skin and a range of colour palettes. The latest looks combine textures such as matte, gloss, shimmer and sheer for gorgeous glamour. FACE -The base is the most important factor in red carpet make-up. Prescriptives Traceless Skin Responsive Tint in a Level 4 is ideal for Indian skin, as it neutralizes imperfections and evens out the complexion. -After foundation apply concealer, such as Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat, to disguise any blemishes -Apply a translucent powder such as Chanel’s Poudre Universelle Libre over the top of the skin, concentrating on any shiny areas, such as the forehead or nose, in preparation for the photograph
Great Make-up: Kareena Kapoor 2007-07-24 23:44:00 It's been a while since I've done a breakdown of a celebrity's make-up so I thought I'd bring you a breakdown of Kareena Kapoor
's make-up. Her make-up palette is very cool toned and compliments the undertones of her skin very well.Prep:Start off this look with a moisturizer and eye cream according to your skin's needs. While this picture has been airbrushed (like pretty much all other pictures), her skin looks flawless. Prepping your skin always helps in applying foundation and concealor better.Face:For this look, try a creamy, matte, medium-coverage foundation evenly all over the face and blend into the neck. For this look, you want to have a foundation that matches your skin perfectly. I know this is important always, but Kareena's make-up looks good because her foundation is seemingly perfectly blended and matched.Eyes:The colours used in this look are bright and adding a primer to your eyelids will help those colours be as vibrant as possible.Brows:The eyebrows help enhance Read more:Great

Peppermint Bath Oil 2007-07-24 00:39:00 The website is taking too long and it's turning out to be such a pain, so figured I'd just route my blog to my domain. This will be done shortly. I am just going to bring you the information I had on the website over here. Makes life simpler. So while I keep you waiting just another 16 hours or so until I bring you more information, enjoy this bath oil recipe.I have tried this bath oil a few times and I really liked it. The genius wasn't me but it was Suparna Trikha's Book of Natural Skin Care. As I've stated before, she has some great tips and natural recipes. Ingredients: 4 tsp peppermint oil the juice of 2 lemons. I used to either squeeze fresh lemons or the bottles with pre-squeezed lemon juice. 4 tsp almond oil 4 tsp geranium oil 2 tsp camphor Method: Just mix the ingredients together and add 1 tsp to your bath. image source: www.mintindia.com

I'll post the link as soon as I'm done.BTW: if you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see (more of) on the new website, just let me know. Thanks!

This Favourite Is Too Good To Keep a Secret: The Best Angled Liner Brush 2007-09-24 01:02:00 I believe that desi girls are born into a world where the pursuit of the blackest kajal is something of a the coming of age ritual. For anything other than pencil kohl, I usually reach for my angled liner brush. Before I go on, let me first get out of the way that this brush is the most unglamorous brush on the planet, but it functions better than any other liner brush I have ever tried.The Windsor & Newton Regency Gold 560 series angled brush is the most perfect angled liner brush in existence. The brush head is 1/4 of an inch wide (it says so on the brush and I couldn't resist the urge to measure this. It is in fact a true measurement.) and is made of taklon fibers that are meant to mimic sable. I had bought this around three years ago as a spare brush I could use for my oil paintings but ended up using it for make-up instead. The brush is intended to pick up and hold pigments, even if the base is very emollient. It is also very easy to tightline with and applies eyeliner in a t Read more:Favourite

First Installment of Powder Blush Reviews: MAC Formal 2007-09-24 00:27:00 I decided to do the powder brush reviews one by one as putting blush, wiping it off, and applying it again made my face irritated and (three guesses what happened next) red. So here comes my powder blush rave.Format is a pigmented deep coppery-cocoa blush with subtle shimmer. Apart from my much beloved (beloved, fanatic obsession, I can't really tell the difference here) NARS blushes, this blush is a recurring favourite of mine. It's one of those blushes you love, use, and forget about. Then, you reach for it again and wonder why on earth you don't wear it more often.The blush itself glides on beautifully smooth and is very pigmented, so a light application is very important. I don't like high shimmer on my blushes, but the shimmer here is so subtle and I like having to skip adding a highlighter. The colour I end up with on my cheeks is a warm, tanned, and a bit windblown effect. It's a very versatile colour that I use year round. I like it for the colder as well as the winter mon Read more:First

My All-Time Favourite Blush: Nars Cactus Flower 2007-09-20 00:39:00 I know some of you ladies dislike cream blush and I will post reviews of some powder blushes, but I really can't believe I haven't raved about this yet. It is one my favourite blushes of all time: so flattering and easy to apply. Here's why I love this blush so much.First off, let me start off with the texture of Nars' cream blushes. They are in cream form, but they are rather dry compared to other cream blushes. This is not to say that they're hard to apply. They go on like a dream and blend into my skin without much effort. They also dry to a powder finish and don't really look or feel like other cream blushes. And to top it off, Nars' cream blushes don't make my pores look like craters or break me outSecondly, do not be frightened by the colour in the pan and keep in mind that a little goes a very long way. Cactus
flower is a gorgeous bright poppy shade with subtle gold shimmer. When applied, it lends a beautiful, almost unnoticeable glow, and a pop of pinky/coral colour on Read more:Favourite
Tabu and Aishwarya Rai in Octobre InStyle 2007-09-20 00:17:00 One of my Asian friends (she's Chinese to be specific) told me once that every Asian girl gets told at one point or another that she resembles Lucy Liu. I think this applies to us Desi girls too. If ever I am told I look like a celeb, it's the brown celeb du jour that I get compared to but don't really look like. So it's always nice to see Desi celebs get acknowledged outside all of the Desi-lands.Imagine my surprise when I opened up my Octobre issue of Instyle and see not only Aishwarya
Rai (I do believe she is the token brown celeb nowadays), but Tabu featured in their style section. Both were wearing beautiful saris and their make-up looked great.I tried scanning the pics from the magazine, but somehow they didn't come out too well. However, I did add pics from the same even just for reference.Tabu's photo was from the namesake premiere:Aishwarya's was from the Provoked premiere:image sources: www.masalatalk.com, www.dailymail.co.uk Read more:Aishwarya Rai
A Gentle Make-up Remover/Cleanser: La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo-Nettoyant 2007-09-13 02:17:00 I have very sensitive skin and either the wrong skincare or not thoroughly cleansing my face breaks me out and irritates my skin easily. I do not kid when I say it was easier for me to take an epilady to my underarms (I won't go into this too much, but the epilady was at its highest setting, my hair wasn't trimmed, and I didn't keep the area taut. It hurt. A lot.) than it is to keep my skin clear. There are a very few skin care items that actually work for me, but La Roche Posay's Toleriane Dermo-Nettoyant is an amazing find.This milky cleanser is fragrance free and very gentle. For me, I can't use a strong cleanser because, I'm going to let you guess this one, my skin gets irritated. Takes taking of make-up and sunscreen just that much more difficult. I find that normal cleansers don't really get rid of sunscreens completely and I need an extra step to have completely gotten rid of all the stuff I put on my face.The best thing about La Roche Posay's Toleriane Dermo-Nettoyant i Read more:Cleanser
PSA: On the Look Out for a Pout Sale at Sephora 2007-09-10 02:14:00 So the fact that Pout will no longer be carried at Sephora
has been making rounds and I thought I'd post about a Pout sale at Sephora when it actually happened. Sadly, I've been refreshing the Pout page on Sephora every five minutes devotedly in the hopes of catching this sale. Other than a slight case of Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, I have remained fruitless and I am still waiting. Hopefully, Pout will go out of Sephora with a bang much like Becca and those of us who are dying to try the blush duo mentioned by Mickey Contractor can get a great bargain. Until then, I will stay vigilant and be the town crier as soon as I hear more about the Pout situation.On a side note, I feel awful for wishing they would get kicked out of Sephora already and put everything on sale.
Brush Review: MAC 168 (Large Angled Contour) Brush 2007-09-10 01:55:00 I'm a huge fan of good make-up brushes. I don't really care where my make-up or brushes come from but I am especially picky about brushes. A long, long time ago, I used to use q-tips and my fingers to apply make-up and while my fascination for finger-painting my own face has still not subsided (I'm still a huge fan of applying certain make-up with my fingers), I have turned into a regular brush-diva. I am possibly harder to please than the stereotypical mother-in-law you see in all the desi soap operas. And yes, I throw hissy fits of equal magnitude when brushes disappoint me. Here's my review of MAC's 168 brush. For the most part, MAC's 168 brush is incredibly soft and angeled so that I can achieve easy contouring looks. I like my products to be multi-functional and use the brush as a blush brush as well. Here's my problem with the MAC brush. It sheds, and sheds, and sheds.The brush itself is incredibly soft and I was very taken wit how luxurious the bristles felt. The bristles Read more:Brush
Laura Mercier's Lipstain in Mocha 2007-09-08 01:21:00 I have some great Milani finds I will review soon and a couple of powder blushes since some of you don't share my passion for cream blush. So while I get all the pictures in order, because trust me these blushes are so pigmented you need to see their wonderful effect, I thought I'd review Laura
Mercier now not-so-new lip stains.Let me start off by listing the pros for you. In general, brown lip colours bring back bad high school memories. I used to think that since my skin was brown, flat brown lipsticks would look natural. So the one lipstick I owned throughout my teens (my mother did not know about this) ended up making me look like I had a serious fetish for kissing pits of mud. It's no wonder I am wary of browns because for me they should have a good balance of other colours to negate my mud-filled fears.Laura Mercier's Mocha
lipstain is a beautiful medium to deep brown that has subtle gold shimmer and red undertones. In fact, in the pot I can see how it could be described as m
