Makeup Tutorial: Fall/Winter Smokey Eyes | Indian Skin Tone
Hi guys,
I created this deep green/burgundy matte smokey eyes which is fall appropriate using the Starlooks September Revival Kit. Though it has matte bright pink lipstick, I would pair this smokey eyes with a deep wine/burgundy fall/winter lip color 🙂
Here is the video..
Read more about Starlooks in my previous post HERE. I love the idea of Starlooks having small, travel-sized products coz no one can finish their entire eye shadows and blushes, I can’t even finish lipsticks with the number I have! I absolutely loved the matte shadows and the matte lipstick. The eye shadow duo is perfect for fall and hence I created this fall, smokey look. Though the pigmentation is slightly low and you have to go over with the eye shadow 2-3 times. And it has deep teal green mini mascara which looks almost black though.
Starlooks Revival September 2015 Looksbook Mini Kit contains:
* Rawr Lipstick : A bold matte hot pink shade. But it might need a dash of lip balm beneath else it may end up looking a bit dry. My favourite in the palette, love this. Decently pigmented and completely matte
* Agave Eye Shadow duo: A mini matte eyeshadow duo, it features a red agave & green agave shade. Both are earthy shades, leaning towards an olive green and a burgundy. Since these are matte, they are not very pigmented and required me layer and go over my shadows 2-3 times, but they definitely gave a nice matte smokey look
* Flora Mascara: A deep teal mascara which looks almost black, love the brush, it gave nice volume to the lashes and did not clump much.
The eye shadow duo is very fall appropriate, I would have loved if the lipstick would have been a deep matte plum, the kit would be a perfect fall kit then. Though I love the lipstick, plum shade would have worked very well this eyeshadow duo.

Soft Smokey Eyes Tutorial inspired by Mickey Contractor feat. MAC Cosmetics
Hi guys,
MAC Cosmetics is celebrating 35 years of Mickey Contractor in Bollywood with a special video that has Mickey creating the iconic smoky eye look which has become extremely huge and popular all over!
Take a look at it here..
Remember ‘Chalte Chalte’, the Sharukh- Rani Mukherjee starrer? Rani Mukherjee’s makeup in the movie was done by Mickey Contractor and it was this smokey eye in majority of the scenes, plus it looked fabulous on Rani’s brown eyes.
I was asked to create my version of this smokey eyes using a few MAC products. I got MAC Blacktrack gel liner, carbon eye shadow and Feline Crayon Kohl.
Here is a small video on how I did my eyes..
I started with MAC Blacktrack gel liner as a base and smudged it with a pencil brush, went over it with MAC Carbon eye shadow. Blended everything with a matte brown eye shadow. Layered the black again with the MAC Feline Crayon Kohl and smudged it again.
Used Feline on the waterline and smudged it and used the matte brown eye shadow with a pencil brush to smudge the kohl along the lower lash line.
Highlighted with a matte off white eye shadow and the inner corners with a shimmery gold shadow, then curled my eye lashes and applied lots of mascara.
I went ahead and did my face normally, skipped the powder for a dewy effect and also used a soft highlighter on the high points including centre of the forehead and nose. Applied an MLBB rosy brown shade to complete the look.
Excuse the little redness in one eye, something irritated my eye :/
I hope you liked the look, do let me know in the comments below 🙂
I created this matte ombre orange and pink lip which is bright, fun and can be worn with everything from casual to ethnic. I have paired it with taupe eyes and green eyeliner for a more casual look. If you go gold or bronze on the eyes with the same green for an ethnic look, it would look amazing.
I hope you liked this look, if you did please give it a thumbs up and also subscribe to my Youtube channel for more such videos. I have another smokey eye coming soon and I am planning to do a festive Diwali look too 🙂
Starlooks Looksbook Mini August Resort Edition: Unboxing & Makeup Look
Hi guys,
So I received the August Looksbook Mini box a few days ago coz of the Indian post, but anyhoo I came up with this look with the box.
Let me start with telling you a bit about Starlooks Looksbook..
WHAT IS A LOOKSBOOK® MEMBERSHIP?
Join thousands of makeup lovers across the globe in this revolutionary beauty movement! Today marks the end of spending hundreds of dollars for expensive cosmetics that clutter your purse & makeup drawer – and usually expire before you can finish them!
THE SOLUTION: Each LooksBook® contains fashion-forecasted, PRO Quality, HD, photo-compatible Starlooks color cosmetics, tucked into a convenient and educational “Book”, and is carefully curated to provide a complete “Look”. Let Starlooks be your monthly beauty stylist!

Our Creative Team (a wonderful group of highly trained professionals from the beauty and fashion industry) carefully plans each month based on professional beauty and fashion forecasts, and products are specifically chosen to guarantee that each book’s look is not only fashion forward, but also current in the fashion and beauty industry
MRP: $12
In the Resort Edition, there is a cream water colour eyeshadow, an gold-orange blush and a gold highlighter duo and a pale peach mini lipstick.
The eyeshadow is creamy and blends easily with eyes but it sets super quick and it was a little difficult to blend it quickly, but once set, it doesn’t budge. It’s a light moss green shade with loads of glitter, it shows up like a hint of green with just lots of shimmer. It’s a perfect shade for highlighting the inner corners.
The blush and the highlighter duo are my favourites, love the golden orange blush and it looks beautiful on warmer skin tones like ours, also the gold highlighter is very pretty and perfect for Indian weddings or a night time look.
The lipstick is very light and washes me out completely, it will only work on paler skin tones. I had to use a warmer, brighter orange to balance the color.
This is the look I came up with..
I have also done a video on this on my Youtube..
I think it’s a nice concept of having travel sized or mini makeup products in a kit, I totally agree on not being able to finish up makeup products. This blush-highlighter duo will definitely be a part of my travel kit now onwards. And at $12 monthly, it is pretty reasonable for 3 products.

Revlon recently launched their Nearly Naked Makeup range in Mumbai last month where got to see the products and try them first hand and also we learnt a few things about the ingredients, etc and the celebrity Makeup Artist Bianca Harkopf told us more about the foundation and how she uses it. I have been using the foundation and powder since some time and here are my two cents on it.
Revlon Nearly Naked Makeup
What the Company claims: The ultimate lightweight makeup! Formulated with weightless pigments, this refreshingly light formula melts right in creating a fresh, even complexion. Works in harmony with your skin to cover flaws and perfect tone and texture.
Key features:
Naturally flawless complexion
Creates a fresh, even look and covers flaws
Blends seamlessly with buildable coverage for a natural finish
SPF20
Has green tea, black tea, oatmeal and jojoba oil
MRP: Rs.750/- for 30ml
Shades Available: 3
Shell- For light skin tones
Fresh Beige- For medium skin tones
True Beige- For darker skin tones
I have also recorded a video talking about both the Foundation and Powder and also has a demo.
Revlon Nearly Naked Makeup i.e. the Liquid Foundation comes in a square glass bottle packaging with a white cap, and unfortunately, without a pump. So one has to dispense the product directly from the bottle and it gets very messy and unhygienic and also leads to wastage of product. The glass bottle is also not travel friendly.
It is neither too thick nor too runny and blends easily on the skin. It gives a dewy finish and coverage wise it gives light to medium coverage. As the range goes ‘Nearly Naked’, it is true to its name and gives a nice, even , dewy skin and lets the skin breathe without clogging the pores but yet smoothens out the pores. It is ‘My Skin But Better’ kind of finish.
It stays for about 7-8 hours easily but I need to powder the T-zone and oily skin will need 1-2 touch ups with powder through the day. I love dewy finish and usually skip powders, so I absolutely love the finish of this. If you have heavy dark circles or acne scars, you will need to cover those with a separate concealer.
I have the shades Shell and Fresh Beige here. Fresh Beige is a good match for me.
L: Shell, R: Fresh Beige
I have used only the foundation here in this Before – After pic
Before – After
It has SPF 20, which is an added benefit if you are indoors or forgot using your sunscreen, though SPF 20 is not enough and does not replace your sunscreen. Even though this foundation has SPF, it photographs really well and does not give a whitish cast in pictures. Also it does not oxidize much, but does adjust to your skin tone in some time.
I even skipped the moisturizer and my skin did not feel dry at all, it is quite hydrating. It would work for all skin types with a little touch up for oily skin. Overall, it is perfect for everyday use for light to medium coverage. It is priced very economically and would last quite some time.

Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder
What the Company claims: Makeup so refreshingly light it melts right in, creating a fresh, even look. Our pressed powder blends so seamlessly with such a lightweight feel, you may forget you’re wearing any makeup at all.
• Evens skin tone
• Non-cakey formula provides a shine-free finish
• Available in 3 shades for varying skin tones
MRP: Rs.725/- for 8g
Shades Available: 3
Fair
Medium
Medium Deep
Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder comes in a long, rectangular white packaging. It has a see through round plastic on top where one can see the powder which will not be a very pretty sight once it is half used :/ It has a small rectangular mirror on one side and a tiny rectangular puff on the powder side.
I am not very happy with the packaging, not at all travel friendly and the tiny puff is impossible to use on the entire face unless you spend a lot of time. The classic, round packaging would have still been better!
L- R: Fair, Medium Deep
The texture of this powder is what compensates the packaging. It is soft as butter and super creamy, it does not feel like a powder at all. You will not even get the usual stray powder when you dip a brush in it as it on the creamier side unlike other dry powders.
The coverage is quite light but it does even out the skin tone and mattify the skin. It also smoothens the pores and gives the face a polished look, which is seen in very few powders. My Inglot AMC Pressed Powder was one such creamy powder.
L: Medium Deep, R: Fair
I prefer using a brush as it takes forever with this tiny sponge. I have the shades Fair and Medium Deep. I thought Medium would be a better match for me and Fair will be very light. But since the coverage is not very high, Fair did work well and it did not look very light. I am going to try using the Medium Deep for contouring, would let you know how it works.
At Rs.725/-, this one is priced slightly higher but the quantity and quality is quite good. I would have definitely preferred better packaging though.
Overall I would say if you are looking for a daily use pressed powder but which is not drying and gives a nice, creamy finish and evens out the skin tone or something to set your makeup, you should check the Revlon Nearly Naked Pressed Powder.
To sum it up, I am very happy with both the Foundation and the Powder, only not happy with the packaging and less number of shades. I would say go and try it out at the store and find your perfect match. If you are medium skin toned, then both the Powder and Foundation in Medium & Fresh Beige respectively would work for you.

What do you think about the Revlon Nearly Naked Range?
Just yesterday I was thinking how a decade ago we were super happy with our 3210 and 3310 cell phones where all we could do was talk and send/receive SMS. Coming back to today, where apps like Whatsapp and Facebook/Twitter are a necessity and taking pictures everyday on our smart phone is a daily practice, that goes without saying.
I think our generation on an average clicks about 10 pictures daily on their smart phone, especially selfies! And if you are a blogger, you have to click 6-7 pictures at least to get that perfect selfie.
Now makeup and hair obviously play a very important role in your selfie if you are a girl. Your hair need not be all polished and glam, but a simple hairstyle and no frizz is perfect. When it comes to makeup, bright lips and evened base is all you need, you can also define your eyes with a liner/kohl if you feel like.
Another most important thing for a perfect selfie is lighting! If you have good lighting, don’t miss a chance to click selfie 😀 Don’t face the sun directly as that would lead to over brightness. You can stand opposite the window, or you can take a selfie in the car.
I absolutely love car selfies. Since it is covered from the top there is no chance of direct sunlight and the car window gives you required amount of lighting. I never miss a chance to click a selfie while in the car. Pro tip: Always hold the camera a bit higher than your face level.
And one thing which is absolutely essential is of course a good smart phone with an excellent camera. Now my phone has a terrible front camera and hence I have to use the rear camera which is not very selfie friendly obviously as I cannot see the perfect angle or how the picture is getting clicked.
I have been on the lookout for a phone with a good front camera since a long time. I stumbled upon the Asus Zenfone Selfie and I am blown away!! Why, you ask? 13MP front and rear camera and dual flash on both the cameras, 0.3s Laser Ultra Fast Auto-Focus rear camera.
The front camera has f/2.2-aperture, 88-degree wide-angle lens and with the unique Selfie Panorama mode, you will be able to shoot selfies with an outlook of up to 140 degrees — so everything and everyone is part of your shot!! More group selfies, yay! And no one will be missed out or half cut now onwards 🙂
Not only that, the front camera also has HDR mode, so every selfie can be a perfect selfie now and if not, we can always use the Beautification Mode 😉 The Beautification Mode enhances your features and corrects blemishes all in real time, you can adjust the effectiveness of the features and just go clicking.
Macro focusing down to 6cm means perfect product shots including the yummy food pictures. It also has a rear selfie button which now makes it easier to click without shaking the phone or blurring the image.
It comes in super pretty colors like Pure White, Chic Pink and Aqua Blue. I am so loving the Aqua Blue. I don’t think I have to stress more on how this is perfect phone for selfies and clicking pictures!! Clicking pictures are an essential in my life, being a blogger and I definitely need a phone like this. I am surely getting this. What about you?

Get virtues of Skin care now in make-up with Za Perfect Fit Liquid Foundation.
MRP: Rs.700/- for 30ml
Claims & Directions:
Shades Available: 6 (5 Yellow,1 Pink)
Ingredients:
I have it in the shade OC30 which is the darkest in the shades available and is fortunately a perfect match for me. Most of the girls complain about the shades as ZA does not have darker shades in foundations as they are made for Asian skin, but thankfully they are going to launch special shades for India next year.
I love this small,tiny bottle packaging. It is super handy to carry, does not occupy too much space and is light unlike the glass bottles which also have a risk of breaking.
It has a nozzle tip which is the best idea. We can get the exact quantity of product required and is more precise than a pump too.
Coming to the texture, where should I start from! It is the most light weight foundation I have ever tried. It is water based and very,very light. It is runny and blends seamlessly. You will not feel you have any foundation on, since it is water based and so light.
Plus the finish is exactly how I like,soft and dewy. It gives medium coverage, so if you have any acne scars, etc, you will need a separate concealer for that as it will not cover heavy scars. But for evening out skin tone and covering redness and giving a nice,healthy, dewy looking skin, this is perfect!
I usually use tinted moisturizers on a daily basis and hardly foundations as I don’t like the heavy feel on the skin. But ever since I have got this, I am only using this whenever I am heading out.
Here is my Before-After
As you can see, it has covered redness and evened out the skin tone, plus covers some amount of scars and under eye circles too.
Pics with complete makeup..
As it has SPF17 PA++. it gives some amount of extra sun protection too. It does exactly all that it claims- the hyaluronic acid gives the skin a plump finish, the micro pearls actually give a nice glow,oil free and water based so no clogging of pores and perfect for all skin types from oily to dry.
Also it is very economical at Rs.700/- for 30ml, I have been using it since quite a lot of time and I think I still have 50% remaining. You don’t need a lot of product in one use.
Overall, I would say it is my current favourite and the most light weight foundation I have ever used. I love water based products, if you have oily skin and all foundations clog your pores, then this one is a definite try for you. And if you have dry skin and are looking for something which will give you a nice, dewy, healthy looking skin, then again this one is a definite try. Highly Recommended!

Scholl launched this new Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Electronic Foot File last year. I always thought it was a hyped product and what is so great about it and that it would never match a pedicure using various tools at a salon.
When I got a chance to try it, I was like why not, let me find out what the hype is about.
Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi comes with the main unit, attached roller head (Which can be detached/replaced), 4 AA batteries and a plastic cover for the roller head. So you just need to insert the batteries and get working, that’s it.
My feet never had much of an issue, I hardly went for pedicures as there was no dry skin or cracked heels issue for the longest time. They were always very soft and smooth and even when I went for a pedicure once in a blue moon, the attendant would be like, there is hardly any dead skin for me to work on 😀 However, after the accident and surgery, the skin had turned rough. The feet were not kept on the floor for more than 40-50 days, so there was no blood circulation and they were just straight on bed, so no blood flow downwards. The feet had a lot of dead skin and they had gone completely dry with a new layer formed on them altogether. The first thing my physio told me to do is scrub them well as the feet were slippery with that layer of skin. I scrubbed them 2-3 times in one week for the dead skin to completely go away, I wish I had this product back then, it would have helped a lot.
Coming back to today, my skin on the feet is almost back to normal. I thought this Scholl Express Pedi would not work on me as there was nothing much to come off. I tried it on the entire feet, the heels and edges, the mid portion and underneath the big toe which is usually drier. And guess what? I actually saw dead skin buffing out, the white remnants or powder you see is your dead skin coming off. When I touched my heels and toe, they were like so much smoother. I was shocked, I mean in a good way of course.
I know this looks gross, but had to show you guys it works
It actually worked! Basically, the roller head has sand paper kind of finish and the continuous rotation helps it buff the skin but without any pain. I am going to try it on my mom next coz she has very dry feet and cracked heels. I think it’s a blessing for someone with dry feet and who needs regular pedicure, this will save a lot of time and money. The best thing is it can be carried along anywhere, though it is slightly heavy.
My only issue is, I am not sure by when would the roller heads need to be changed, someone mentioned 18-19 pedicures which is decent, but it also depends on person to person and the skin I believe. The roller heads are a little expensive at Rs.799/- when you compare the discounted unit price of Rs.1749/- :p
Overall, I would say, it is definitely a must try! It does not hurt,very convenient to use and carry, a value for money at the discounted price. Highly recommended.
Have you tried the Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi yet?
Spinz Sun-Tan Remover Instant De-Tan Cream is a first of its kind.
What the Company claims: The product contains no bleach, has been dermatologically tested and found to be safe for all skin types. It’s like a facial you can get at home where you can achieve a de-tanned radiant look in just 5 minutes. Salon like fairness and radiant skin in just 5 minutes.
Ingredients:
Directions:
MRP: Single use 9g Sachet: Rs.10, 25g tube: Rs.49, 50g tube: Rs.89/-
You know the time when you have been out in the sun for a long, long time and terrible tanned and have an important meeting or event to attend! Well, aren’t those the terrible days,especially when you have a t-shirt or hair band tan line.
Fret not, coz now we have one innovative product which can help us in such SOS cases! Today I am reviewing the new Spinz Sun-Tan Remover Instant De-Tan Cream.
You just need to use a good 9g of this product as a mask, massage it a bit on the skin in small,circular motions and keep it for about 5-10 minutes and wash off. You can use it daily too, untill your skin is completely de-tanned or may be on a regular basis if you are someone who has to be in the sun almost daily, like if you have a job that requires you to travel a lot or you are in college.
It comes in different packaging from a one time sachet to a tube. The tube has white and purple packaging. It is a thick white cream,with an artificial scent but thank goodness, it is quite mild unlike bleaches.
Bleaches are something which burn my eyes instantly and my eyes turn red, even if I have used the mildest beach and the minutest quantity. I am glad this is a ‘No Bleach’ cream, did not burn my eyes and no strong bleach smell too.
The key ingredients of this cream are milk,lemon and honey. Lemon and the lactic acid in milk are especially known to de-tan the skin. Also, honey keeps the skin pH balanced and moisturised. It is dermatologically tested and safe for all skin types.
Here is my Before, with the cream and After..
These pics are from the first time use and I notice some brightness on the skin in one use itself, though I was not very tanned to see a major difference.
Remember, this is NOT a daily wear moisturising cream which will blend into your skin. This is a mask which needs to be washed off after 5-10 minutes and is only used in this way.
You will feel a slight tingling sensation but that is very mild.
Now my skin is such that it takes months and months for the sun tan to completely go away. I saw a marked improvement with the first use,and a little better result on the 2nd and 3rd day. I am quite happy with the product.
If you have to attend a wedding, use it some time before you get ready for the function. And you can pair you fresh de-tanned skin with a pretty anarkali or a net saree with gold eyes and fuchsia/red lips.
Few things to remember:
Do not keep it longer than 10 minutes
Do not go out in the sun immediately after using it
Do not use a face wash/soap for 6 hours
If you are looking for an instant solution for your de-tanned skin, look no further. You will be amazed with the results with regular use of Spinz Sun-Tan Remover. Check out more on their site here www.spinzbanthetan.com
Also, watch this TVC..
Overall, I would say it’s a must try! If you are tanned and have tried all kinds of DIY or products, make sure to give this a try too! I highly recommend it! #SpinzBanTheTan
Dewy,Highlighted Makeup Tutorial feat. L’Oreal Paris Infallible Reno Liquid Foundation
Hi guys,
Remember I had reviewed the L’Oreal Paris Infallible Reno Stay Fresh 24H Liquid Foundation HERE, also showed the swatches and demo.
Today I am going to create a soft, dewy makeup look and also show you guys how and where exactly to highlight! Haven’t you heard Strobing is the new contouring! Oh yeah 😉 Well strobing is nothing but a fancy term for highlighting. I have always loved highlighting and I am crazy about highlighters. (I have tons of them from liquid to powder) I was never too much into contouring.
Basically, strobing can be achieved with a few simple tips:
1. Infuse your skincare & makeup i.e mix foundation with your moisturiser for a dewy,soft finish. Add a tiny amount of highlighter too. (liquid or powder)
2. Skip pressed powder except if you have very oily skin. Try using it only on the T-zone
3. Highlight all areas where light naturally hits your face i.e. center of your forehead, brow bone,inner corners of eyes, center of your nose, high planes of cheekbones, cupid’ bow and the chin. See the pic below I have marked the areas. Go easy on the forehead and chin, usually just the residue in the brush.
4. Make sure to blend it all.
Let’s take it step by step:
Step 1: A clean canvas. Cleansed face, free of anything. You can use a primer if you want your makeup to last longer.
Step 2: Mix your foundation and moisturiser in equal amount, you won’t need a lot of foundation in this case. Add a tiny bit of highlighter. I am using a powder highlighter here.
Step 3: Dot it all over your face and blend it with a brush or your fingers.
Step 4: Apply a concealer on problem areas or to hide dark circles. I have skipped a concealer here.
Areas to Highlight
Step 5: Highlight the areas marked here. Take very little highlighter on the brush at a time. Always tap the brush to get rid of excess and go slow as you can always add but not remove. Blend it all.
Step 6: The complete highlighted face 🙂
Step 7: Apply rest of your makeup. Eyeliner, lipstick and the usual 🙂 And tadaa..you are done!
Strobing also makes you look younger as the skin looks fresh and dewy. Do you like the final result? Its easy and can be achieved with just a few simple hacks. Let me know if you try it, and also share pics. Tag me on twitter or Instagram @bhumika_t
What do you think of Strobing? Do you like the ‘strobing’ trend?
