Since Valentine’s Day is coming up and I wanted to create a look with my theBalm Meet Matt(e) Trimony Palette, I thought of this matte pink/plum makeup look.
Maybelline Creamy Matte Lipstick Faint for Fuchsia
Pixi Glow Mist
I went with a bright pink lipstick and the whole look complimented well. I like how it turned out. My false lashes were not cooperating and were coming from all sides, so I finally just took them off :/
I hope you like the look, do let me know in the comments below.
L’Oreal Paris #BoldInGold Collection Review, Swatches
Hi guys,
L’Oreal Paris launched the new Bold in Gold Collection and I have the entire collection consisting of an eyeshadow palette, 7 lipsticks and 2 nail paints.
I have been trying these out since 3-4 days and here are my thoughts..
Have also done a video on the same..
L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Gold La Palette
Claims: La Palette Gold consists of a unique selection of 10 exclusive shimmer shades, from subtle pinks to bold, shimmery golds and purples that allow you to unleash your creative side and create multiple glamorous eye looks for every occasion.
MRP: Rs.1450/-
It comes in the usual L’Oreal Paris La Palette packaging with a brush and sponge on each end and a mirror. The shades are all satin/shimmer finish and very pigmented.
All these swatches are two swipes each. There is a stunning olive green, warm bright gold, bronze pink, champagne, white gold, deep navy blue, aqua blue, gray and sea green.
I created this olive green and gold halo smokey eye with this palette. The shadows work better with fingers and I did not get the desired pigmentation with brushes. I tried different brushes but none transferred the product on the lids and finally I used my fingers.
Also there are no matte crease/blending shades in this palette and hence you will have to use it with some other shadows/palette for those shades.
The palette is not very travel friendly as one side of the shadow plate had come off when I opened it as the glue wasn’t enough on one side. It will shatter if dropped even once, so be careful with that.
I love the shades though and all are stunning and bright with decent pigmentation. I do recommend this palette, but you will have to use a base underneath as they blend sheer. I am not sure if it is Limited Edition, or wait for it to go on discount.
Coming to the Color Riche Lipsticks,
L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Gold Obsession Lipsticks
Claims: Get Set to be #BoldInGold. L’Oreal Paris introduces the latest beauty trend from Paris – Gold Obsession by Color Riche. Infused with precious 24 carat gold* for illuminated lips. (Note – *Particles coated with 24 carat gold. )
L’Oreal Paris Color Riche Gold Obsession delivers intense moisture while providing a velvet matte finish. It’s unique formula contains Jojoba oil for unrivaled moisture and comfort along with matte gel technology to create an intense matte look.
Jojoba Oil keep lips hydrated
Highly pigmented for a rich matte effect
Available in 7 different shades.
Easy to apply and long lasting
MRP: Rs.1025/-
Shades:
Scarlet, Coral, Mocha, LeLe, Rouge,Rose, Plum
Scarlet Gold– Beautiful cool toned cherry red
Coral Gold– Orangey coral but not neonish
Mocha Gold- Deep wine
Le Gold- Bright gold
Rouge Gold- Warm toned bright red
Rose Gold- Muted rosy pink
Plum Gold- Deep grape
All the shades have very fine shimmer (except Le Gold which has a lot of visible shimmer) and give a glossy, wet look to the lips. These are very, very pigmented and super moisturising on the lips. Be careful while applying, coz they literally melt in touch with lips and it might bleed. Make sure to powder around the lips well.
Scarlet, Coral, MochaLe. Rouge, Rose, Plum
Love the gold packaging and each lipstick has the name of the L’Oreal Paris Ambassador, same as with the Reds and Pinks collection earlier.
Scarlet, Coral, Mocha, LeRouge,Rose, Plum
I am so glad these are very wearable and do not have frosty, shimmery finish. I don’t like metallic or frosty finish lipsticks. Also the shimmer is hardly visible and they make for great shades to wear normally.
I love the Coral Gold, Rose Gold and Plum Gold. Also Le Gold is a nice shade to own to mix and match or wear as a topper.
I created this ombre lip with Le Gold and Plum Gold.
Also there are two nail paints in this collection, Violet Vendome which is a beautiful plum grape and Coral Trianon, a bright coral. I feel there should have been a bright metallic gold nail paint too, in this collection. The nail paints are priced at Rs.350/- each
I will update the pics wearing the nail paints in this post.
Overall I do recommend this range and I love all three products i.e. the eye shadow palette, lipsticks and nail paints in this collection. The range is available on Nykaa right now, and soon will be available on Amazon and other websites.
What do you think of the new L’Oreal Paris BoldInGold Collection?
I love Sugar Cosmetics lip products, their lipsticks and lip crayons are really good. Even the kajals and eyeliners are of great quality, considering they manufacture at Schwan Stabilo in Germany where majority of the brands do.
So now they have launched a mascara. This is the basic black shade called ‘Black with a Bang’, I feel they will be launching more shades in mascara real soon and that would be interesting as we don’t have many colored mascaras in India.
Claims: Looking for a magic wand that will transform you from Plain Jane to Queen Bee in seconds? The all-new Lash Mob Limitless Mascara from SUGAR gives you just the drama your eyes need! Whether you’re a fan of super volume or clump-free formula, we bet that your lashes will thank you once you’ve had your first date with this beauty. Creamy-textured and incredibly easy to apply, this paraben-free Mascara does a stellar job of separating, defining and combing through each lash so you’ll experience lashes like never before!
Benefits: This wonder mascara houses specially designed micro-bristles that lift, separate and unstick every lash hair and coat it with our clump-free volumizing formula. That’s not all! This game-changing makeup product also boosts the growth of your natural lashes thanks to the nourishing vitamins in the tube and contains anti-oxidants that protect them from pollutants. How’s that for packing so much punch in one miracle product!
It comes in a slender matte black tube packaging. The brush is nice and thick and I thought it would be quite volumizing looking at the brush.
I prefer slightly wet formulas in mascaras because that helps coat lashes well. The formula of this is dry, not stiff dry but not wet either.
It lengthens and curls the lashes but does not give enough volume. If you try to layer with multiple coats for volume, it clumps up the lashes.
I am not sure of the lash growth claim as I am not using it everyday. But if you just need some curl and length on an everyday basis and it also helps in the growth of the lashes when used everyday, this is a good work wear option.
It comes off very easily at the end of the day as it’s not waterproof, but this makes this easily smudgable. It transfers easily on lower lashline and smudges with even slight rubbing.
Before, 1 coat, multiple coats
Here you can see my before-after with one coat and 2-3 coats. I like how it defines and curls with one coat, which is good enough for everyday. But as you can see here, it clumps with more coats and transfers on lower lashline.
It is decent for everyday use, but considering the price, I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s very expensive. I love my Essence mascaras which are fabulous and very affordable.
Have you tried the Sugar Lash Mob Limitless Mascara? What do you feel?
Burgundy Brown Fall Smokey Eyes Tutorial using Lakme French Rose Palettee
Hi guys,
So as promised I did this easy fall smokey eyes look using the new Lakme French Rose Palette. See the review and swatches of both the new Illuminating Palettes HERE
I used the light brown in the crease and added a little burnt orange for more warmth in the crease. Finally I took the main burgundy brown shade and used it all over the lid. Since this shade was a little less pigmented than rest of the shades in the palette, it needed a little layering.
So as you can see here, I went over it a few times to get the desired intensity. I used the coppery orange shade in the inner corners and since there was no creamy highlight shade in French Rose, I took the one from the Royal Persia palette to highlight my brow bone.
I used the same light brown and burgundy brown to smoke out my lower lashline. I used falsies but removed them later on as I was not happy with how they looked. I used the Lakme Eyeconic 22Hr Kajal on my upper lashline and smudged it a bit.
Finally I took the Colourpop Honeydude n*de eyeliner and used on my waterline to make my eyes look a little bigger. And used the Essence Lash Princess Mascara on both my upper and lower lashes.
I loved how the look turned up as I was not sure since I was using this palette the first time. Also there are so many different combinations I can think of with this palette. It’s very versatile and the shades are perfect for office wear to weddings.
Honestly I would have liked 2 more shades for the price of 995, 8 shadows would have been perfect including one black and one highlight shade.
Many of you have mentioned the price being a little high, usually Amazon has discounts later on, but since this is Limited Edition, I am not sure till when it will be sold.
If you buy from Beauty Centres and are getting discount on this or there are some nice offers and GWP going on, then definitely grab this French Rose Palette.

New Lakme Absolute Illuminating Eyeshadow Palettes Royal Persia, French Rose Review, Swatches
Hi guys,
In my previous post on the Lakme Absolute x Sabyasachi’s ‘Illuminate & Shine’ Collection, I reviewed the new bronzer, highlighter and shimmer brick. (See HERE)
These two eye shadow palettes are also a part of the Limited Edition Sabyasachi Collection.
Lakme already has the day Gold and night Silver palette in this Illuminating Palette range, see the swatches of the Day Palette HERE.
Claims: They say it’s the eyes that gives you that extra sparkle. So as you prep for your festive looks this year try the new Lakmé Absolute Illuminating Eyeshadow palettes to add to the glam quotient. These limited edition eyeshadows by Sabysachi Mukherjee have 6 versatile colours to play with and create stunning looks that are bound to turn heads.
Whether it’s the lovely plum tones of the Royal Persia palette or the warm earthy shades of the French Rosé palette, these unique shades are absolute must-haves.
Limited edition eye shadow palettes designed by fashion designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee
High intensity powders
6 versatile shades that blend beautifully
Suited for most Indian skin tones
MRP: Rs.995/- each for 7.5g (Buy Royal Persia HERE and French Rose HERE)
Royal Persia has more purple/pink tone shades and French Rose has more warm browns/coppers. From the first look of it, I absolutely love French Rose! The shades are stunning and so apt for the fall/winter/wedding season currently. I can think of 9-10 different eye looks immediately looking at the palette.
French Rose is definitely very versatile and very flattering on Indian skin tones.
Both palettes have the usual packaging with a mirror and a double ended sponge tip applicator.
Honestly except for 1-2 shades, I was not so impressed with the pigmentation of the shadows in the previous day palette. This time I am blown away and how!
I had huge expectations from the palettes as the shades looked really pretty. And I am so glad Lakme has worked on the pigmentation this time, all the shadows are super creamy and buttery and these swatches are just one swipe each!
Top Row:
A coppery bronze, close to MAC’s Amber Lights (Amber Lights is slightly more gold)
A matte plum brown, this was the only shade with little less pigmentation compared to the other 5, but is easily buildable
A satin finish pinky red
Bottom Row:
A matte dark chocolate brown
A satin finish peachy pink, close to MAC’s Expensive Pink (Expensive Pink is a little more pinker)
A matte burnt orange with some gold shimmer
Each and every shade is super pigmented! This palette is a must have for all brides to be, it’s a perfect addition to your trousseau. I will be creating a look with this palette super soon.
Coming to Royal Persia,
Top Row:
A satin finish aqua blue
A matte purple, again the only shade in the palette which is not that pigmented
A matte slate blue
Bottom Row:
A satin finish plum
A satin finish light pink
A satin creamy beige with gold shimmer, very creamy.
This palette has more cool toned and grey based shades, and more on blue and pink lines.
All the shades in both the palettes are very creamy and buildable, except for one shade in both, all are pigmented and blend well into each other.
If you like warm shades, you can go for French Rose and if you like cooler shades, you can pick Royal Persia.
For me personally, I absolutely love French Rose and if I have to recommend one, I would say French Rose 🙂
I hope you liked the review, let me know your favourite in the comments below.
I have always had full eyebrows except the in between phase when you go to some other salon and the lady over threads and makes them super thin :/
I never used to fill my eyebrows but I have been doing it since almost 1-1.5 years now and I am obsessed. They completely change the way your face looks and makes your face look more polished and defined. Thick eyebrows also make one look younger 😀
I have been using these two brow products from Givenchy since about a week now and I am in love! From the very first use, I absolutely loved these!
Givenchy Eyebrow Pencil Brunette
What it is: A powdery matte-finish eyebrow pencil
What it does: This pencil offers precise and natural brow definition. Perfect application is guaranteed with an ultra-slim, gliding tip for perfectly defined brows. The formula, developed using talc and intense pigments, leaves a powdery matte finish, and the easy-to-apply texture creates immediate payoff. The pencil also features a brow brush on the opposite end for an all-in-one brow tool.
What it is formulated WITHOUT: Parabens
Shades Available:
01 Brunette
02 Blonde
03 Dark Brunette
Suggested Usage:
-Brush brows to reveal their natural shape.
-Use the brow pencil to define the edges and fill in for a natural look.
MRP: Rs.1975/- for 1.1g
It is a long and sleek sharpenable eyebrow pencil with a spoolie brush on one side. It also comes with a sharpener. I love eyebrow pencils which come with a spoolie brush as they are travel friendly and very handy. You just need one pencil to carry along for your brows whenever you are travelling.
The pencil is super pigmented. I was amazed by the pigmentation, just a single, light handed stroke also gives a lot of color. So use it with light hands and make sure you soften the lines with the spoolie brush coz you can easily over fill with this and also without blending in, the color would look harsh.
It is slightly waxy and glides on very easily, it settles to a matte finish. So there is no extra creaminess and it doesn’t bleed all around the eyebrows. The texture is absolutely perfect.
The eyebrows stay in place whole day. I love how easy and quick it is to use, as with most pencils I have to go over quite a few times to fill them. With this, I am just done in one stoke and one brushing!
Since I just need one stroke and hardly use any product, I haven’t even had to sharpen it yet. This will last me really long! Even though it may seem expensive, this would last for a long time, making it very economical for the quality.
I am only using this since the time I have got it and I think I am pretty much sticking to this 😀 I can say, this is by far the best eyebrow pencil I have tried! Highly recommended!
What it is: A gel brow filler that dries into a natural powder finish.
What it does: For perfectly natural-looking brows, Mister Brow Filler fills in any sparse areas and flawlessly shapes the brows. Containing hybrid silicone particles, its waterproof, liquid formula instantly dries down to a powder finish on application. It naturally and evenly highlights the brows. The innovative curved brush follows the eyebrow’s natural shape for an intuitive application that anyone can master. Its waterless texture adheres uniformly to the skin.
Suggested Usage:
-Start from the inner corner and apply following the arch, moving toward the end.
MRP: Rs.1975/- for 5.5g
Now I am more of a eyebrow pencil person and my eyebrows don’t move around a lot, so I don’t use brow fillers. But on days when you are going for a very natural, ‘no makeup’ makeup look, I would suggest using only brow filler.
Not only it brushes and combs the brows and fill them in, but it would dry and keep the hair in place all day long! Also it is water resistant, so you can wear it even during monsoons or on a humid day.
Again, even this is very pigmented and you just need to go over once on your eyebrows. I use both when I have a long day ahead with events, etc. when I want my eyebrows to look perfect and not budge at all.
The shade Brunette in both matches me absolutely well and would work for most Indian skin tones.
Here is my Before-After using both the products..
I prefer my eyebrows natural looking, so I do not outline on top and bottom and overline them and then fill in completely like those eyebrow tutorials on Instagram 😀 (mostly on Anastasia page) I find that very fake and made up. So I have filled them in naturally, mostly towards the inner part as I have more gaps there.
FOTD..
I would suggest going with the Brow Filler if your eyebrows don’t stay in place and move around a lot and/or you are not much of an eyebrow person and want just some natural looking definition.
If you are looking for a good, pigmented eyebrow pencil which is travel friendly and you have sparse eyebrows with more gaps to fill, go for the eyebrow pencil.
If you want your eyebrows to be on fleek all the times, go for both! You will be sorted, trust me 🙂
I absolutely love both, use either or both depending on the event and day. Givenchy is available at Sephora across India and also at few Shoppers Stop outlets.

First Colourpop Haul, Review, Swatches | How to Buy in India
Hi guys,
Finally I am sitting down to write this post, I know this took forever and I am really sorry. In fact, I bought more Colourpop after this but will include it in a separate US haul post.
For now, let’s start with this. I wanted to try Colourpop since a long time but they did not ship to India. Once they announced they are starting international shipping, I had my wishlist ready and as soon as they started it, I tried to place my order and I got the shock of my life! Shipping was $25! Yes, my order was $30 and shipping was $25 which is close to double. Obviously I didn’t want to spend that much and many people complained on social media regarding this, Colourpop replied that they have flat rate shipping of $25 so you can order more items for same shipping amount.
If in case you have to place a huge order or 2-3 friends are combining an order, then buying directly from Colourpop made sense. Since I didn’t want to place a huge order as that attracts customs and wanted to just try a few things initially, it was not very economical for me.
Enter ‘Ship Out From USA‘. Magali did an entire video on them and explained how to use it, you can watch the video HERE.
Basically what they do is, they create a virtual USA/UK address for you and you can use that address to place order on any website which does not deliver to India directly. They will receive the items, repack it well and send it across to you. Like an intermediary, and of course it has some charges.
Charges without the discount are a little high, but I have a huge 40% discount code for you all i.e. “NEWLOVE40” (code to be applied on the Ship Out From USA website, not on merchant website) This code will not have an expiry period! So you can use it anytime and to buy from any website, valid for both virtual USA and UK orders. I would definitely suggest make use of it during sale periods (Black Friday sale is coming soon) and also ‘Free Shipping within USA/UK’ above certain amount.
That way is turns out to be pretty economical. After the 40% discount and using Ship Out From USA, it was pretty decent a price to pay for Colourpop considering all sellers here have a good amount of margin and it turns out to be much cheaper than that.
Also all Colourpop products are $5 and $6, plus they are very high quality and full of pigments! From eyes to cheeks to lips, all products are full of pigments and are long staying!
So let’s see what all I got in my first haul..
T-B: November, Point Zero, Beeper, Lumiere
I have been using some of the products since quite some time now, especially the lipsticks. I got one from Lippie Stix ($5), two Ultra Satin ($6) and one Ultra Matte ($6). And I also got one eyebrow pencil ($5), one creme gel liner ($5), three Super Shock eyeshadows ($5) and one Super Shock cheek highlighter($8).
Now the eye and cheek products of Colourpop are very buttery and should be used only with hands, especially eyeshadows. You cannot get the colour pay off with brushes. Also they break easily, I got one eyeshadow slightly broken when it came but then their nature is such, that will easily break even if dropped once. And also their products dry up pretty quickly if kept open, so they mention to close the lid pretty tight!
So I got two Ultra Satin Lips in November and Point Zero from the recent KathleenLightsxColourpop collaboration and the Lippie Stix in Lumiere from her previous collaboration. I love Kathleen Lights and all the shades she created in the recent collab were pretty amazing, so I had to get these! Apart from these, I got the Ultra Matte Lip in Beeper which I wanted since a long time! That shade is gorgeous and a must have!
The Lippie Stix are like a matte chubby lip crayon but much more creamier and pigmented. They stay for about 3-4 hours and longer without eating or drinking. The Ultra Satin Lip also stays for about same time, but it is a proper liquid lipstick formula which is completely matte. But fortunately they are not drying. Ultra Matte is drying but stays the longest and is the most pigmented!
L-R: November, Point Zero, Beeper, LumiereL-R: November, Point Zero, Beeper, Lumiere
Lumiere is a dusty mauve pink
November is a mid tone warm peachy pink
Point Zero is a cool toned grey brown
Beeper is a warm mid tone taupe
The eyeshadows I got are So Quiche, Nillionaire and LaLa.
These swatches are just one swipe each! Also I tried hard to capture the exact colour, but the shades are gorgeous and the camera was just not picking up the exact colours or doing justice to the shadows.
The eyeshadows are so creamy and the colours are gorgeous! They are very different and unique with a beautiful combination of reflects.
So Quiche
So Quiche is ansoft olive with a highly reflective gold and pink violet glittery duo chrome metallic finish
Nillionaire
Nillionaire is warm bronze with tons of gold and multi coloured glitter in a Metallic finish.
LaLa
LaLa is a satin finish rose gold
L-R: So Quiche, Nillionaire, Lala
And I also picked the Brow Pencil in Bangin Brunette which is the perfect shade for my dark eyebrows and hair. I love the fact that it has spoolie at one end which makes it very convenient to use and you do not need extra brushes. And I wanted a nice, nude eye pencil for my waterline since a long time and my search ended at Colourpop Creme Gel Liner in Honeydude which is a perfect peachy nude for my waterline.
Highlighters are my weakness, so I had to get one highlighter! 😀 I picked Lunch Money which is a gorgeous soft light gold shade with reflective duo chrome. This is one shade which will work for a lot of skin tones from light to medium. It will be a little light for very dark/deep skin tones. It is super buttery and creamy and very pigmented, absolutely love the shade!
And the quantity is huge! I think only the highlighters are a little more than their usual $5 and $6, but even for $8 the quality and quantity is amazing!
Here is how a few shades look on me.. (First is November, then Point Zero and Beeper)
I absolutely love each and every thing in this haul and highly recommend each of these! You can just close your eyes and get these, for the price, they are amazing!
Also you can trust on my research that I would pick shades after spending hours in finding out the best shades 😀
Also Colourpop has free shipping above $50 and $4.99 below that just for 3-4 days currently, if in case you want to get something, right now is the time 😀 Or else my 40% off Ship Out From USA coupon code ‘NEWLOVE40’ is valid forever and for everything you want to buy from US/UK.
I paid around $51 for everything (they have $5 off for new registered members) plus the shipping through SOFU was around 2000 which came to about INR 1200 after the 40% discount. So in total around INR 4500 with shipping for everything. But I would highly suggest placing the order in the next 1-2 days if you are really planning to get something, coz of their free shipping offer 🙂

When any of the international clothing or makeup brand gets launched in India, it becomes a gala time for all of us makeup and fashion lovers. So, you can imagine the level of excitement when Sephora launched it’s first store in Delhi. I heard someone referring that it was like a “Sabzi Mandi” for makeup enthusiasts. Yes, the crowd was crazy and the excitement knew no bounds. I was also very thrilled by the opening of Sephora but I anyhow controlled myself and decided to check the place some days later or may be some weeks later. So, after 2 weeks I visited the place and I couldn’t stop myself. It was really fun to see brands like NYX, Burt Bees and many more there. I was really tempted for some of them but 1 product out of the entire lot there was really special for me. I couldn’t wait to lay my hands on the Sephora eye pencils. I have heard a lot of praises about them and I was dying to try them. So, I bought the and here follows the review of the same.
Product Claims : A Contouring eye pencil for a big, beautiful look that lasts up to 12 hours. Enhance and enliven your eyes with bold, long – wearing color of these eye pencils. The silky formula is resistant to water, heat and humidity up to 12 hours of smudge less wear.
Price : Rs. 890
My Experience:
Packaging wise most of the Kajal pencils are just same. They come in pencil shape which is really sleek and slim. It has black body with the electric blue cap at the top. There are some details enclosed on the body of the pencil which I really appreciate. The pencil can be easily fit inside your pocket and thus extremely travel friendly. You need to sharpen the pencil every now and then which of course leads to product wastage.
Coming to the formula of this Kajal is has a very smooth tip. It glides on the eyes also very easily and smoothly. It is very soft on eyes and even sensitive eyes would not feel any irritation. I wear lens on regular basis but I didn’t feel nay irritation or burning sensation in my eyes. It is extremely comfortable.
Coming to the shade which is aptly named as “My Boyfriend’s Jeans Electric Blue” of this Kajal and it is true to it’s name. It is more of a neon blue which is a fun and peppy shade. It is a perfect summer shade and will add glamour and style to your look and entire personality. It is bright and thus is a perfect day time color. But if you want to wear it in night then it will look Fab with monochrome or black outfits.
I apply this eyeliner on both of my upper and lower lash lines. I begin by sharpening the kajal at the tip and then apply it both the upper and lower or water line. After applying it, I let it set for about 5 minutes or so and then I am good to go.
Coming to the staying power of this Kajal is stays on me entire day long. I apply it in the morning at around 9 A.M. and till 7 P.M. it is very much visible and intact. The Kajal does not smudge or fades on the upper line.
But the story is entirely different on the lower lash line. It smudges on the sides and even fades a bit. So, I stick to applying the Kajal only on the upper line at present.
Pros of Sephora Contour Eye Pencil 12 Hr. Wear Waterproof – My Boyfriend’s Jeans
1. Terrific shade
2. Long staying power
3. Does not irritate eyes
4. Smooth texture
5. Easy in removing
Cons of Sephora Contour Eye Pencil 12 Hr. Wear Waterproof – My Boyfriend’s Jeans
1. Does not stay that long on the water line
2. Not easily available in India other than Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore
Rating – 4/5
Editor’s Note: That’s a pretty shade of blue.
Have you tried the Sephora Contour 12 Hr Waterproof Eye Pencil yet?
Top 10 Nude/Beige Eyeliners Available in India, Prices
By Simran
Hello everyone!
Eyeliners seem to be an essential part of every girl’s makeup routine. You can choose from a wide variety of colours and give your waterline a nice pop of colour. Black is the favourite colour to be used on the waterline by most of the Indian women. But, if you have hooded eyes or monolid or close set eyes, black can make your eyes look smaller. So, rather than buying a black eyeliner next time, go for a nude eyeliner.
Now you must be wondering, why shouldn’t you use a white eyeliner instead? It’s simple, white eyeliners leave a sheer unnatural finish. The pros of using a nude eyeliner, you ask? A flesh toned or nude eyeliner brightens your eyes and instantly makes them appear bigger. It helps you in brightening the inner corner if you have deep set eyes or you can use it as a concealer on your face or even as a brow bone highlighter!
So, I have compiled a list of the best nude eyeliners available in India.
1. Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Waterproof Kohl Liner in N*de 005 (Price: INR 345/-) (Buy HERE)
This has to be the best budget nude eyeliner available in India. The formulation is quite creamy and it glides on the waterline easily. It lasts about 5-6 hours on the waterline after which it fades away completely. Rimmel is available in Parcos stores in India.
2. Lord & Berry Silk Kajal Eye Pencil in Nudo (Price: INR 800/-) (Buy HERE)
This kajal has a glide-on texture which allows you precise control over the pencil. The colour payoff is excellent and it will last on your lids for the whole day. The pencil has to be sharpened and is not in the retractable form.
3. Sephora colourful shadow and liner in 33 Secret Boudoir (Price: $14 or approximately INR 950/-)
This jumbo pencil is multi-usage, you can use it on your waterline or apply it on your lids as an eye shadow primer. The lasting power is great and the finish of the eyeliner is matte! There is another jumbo pencil in the range in shimmer finish in the shade 05 Beige. This eye pencil by Sephora is decently priced, according to me.
4. Maybelline colour show eyeliner in Shiny Beige (Price: INR 325/-)
Another affordable option in the Indian market is the Maybelline colour show eyeliner in Shiny Beige. The finish of the eyeliner is shimmery which is perfect if you’re doing glittery eye makeup. The pencil is in the retractable form and is completely waterproof.
The next nude eyeliner comes from the newly launched brand in India, Nyx. This indeed wonderfully working multi tasking wonder pencil works as a concealer, a lip liner as well as an eyeliner. You can use it to highlight your brow bone or line your waterline to bring life back in your eyes. So, get your hands on it before it goes out of stock, again.
6. Inglot Kohl pencil in 05 (Price: INR 850/-)
The pencil is highly pigmented and formulated to gently define the eyes while leaving a velvety appearance. The active ingredients in the kohl pencil provide a moisturizing effect. The pencil is long lasting, completely waterproof and smudge proof.
This eye pencil is perfect to make your dull eyes look brighter. It is a double ended pencil with a brightening nude shade on one side and a wide array of shades to choose from for the other side. Who doesn’t love multitasking products? The formulation of the liner is creamy and it lasts on your lid for a long time.
8. MAC Technakohl Liner in Risque (Price: $17 or approximately INR 1150/-)
The eye pencil is a pale beige-nude colour in retractable pencil form. Its formula is soft and creamy with intense, rich colour. It is a smudge proof long wear eyeliner which helps in instantly brightening your eyes.
9. Colourpop HoneyDude Eyeliner (Price: $5 or approximately INR 350/-)
“Who needs a sugar daddy when you have this creamy warm nude” says the description of the eyeliner, so fancy! The eyeliner is in a smooth, creamy, long lasting finish to give your eyes the perfect dose of colour. The finish of the eyeliner is completely matte and the pencil comes in a retractable form.
10. Urban Decay 24/7 waterline eye pencil in Walk of Shame (Price: $20 or approximately INR 1350/-)
The formulation of the eye pencil is creamy and the finish is demi-matte. The multi usage pencil can be used a highlighter on your face or even as a cream concealer. The pencil is slightly high on budget but if you need a nude pencil which will (literally) last on your waterline all day then surely buy this pencil.
Editor’s Note: I recently ordered Colourpop Honeydude eyeliner, I also have a Jordana one which I really like. I would like to add the Rimmel Scandaleyes Shadow Stick 24H Water Proof in Bulletproof Beige
I love the Kala Chashma song, it was a hit during my college days and I am absolutely loving this new mix too. Katrina Kaif looks stunning. Her killer abs and dance moves are the highlight of this song!
Here is the video of the song, if you still haven’t seen it..
I tried recreating this look, as one of my YouTube subscriber Neha requested for it. I am too lazy otherwise, but thanks for the push Neha 😀
Katrina has a soft plummy brown matte smokey eye going on with soft glossy pink lips. She doesn’t have any highlight or contour going on, not that she needs contouring either, her chiseled body and face are more than naturally contoured 😀
