Simple Winged Liner & Pink Lips Indian Drugstore Makeup Tutorial

Simple Winged Liner & Pink Lips Indian Drugstore Makeup Tutorial

Hi guys,

I was going for an event yesterday and did this winged liner with pink lips, so thought of doing a GRWM.

This is pretty much what I wear on an everyday basis for events,etc. with just change in lip color, blush,highlighter at times.

Products used:

Sephora Smoothing Primer
Maybelline Fit Me Foundation
Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Concealer
Maybelline Fit Me Powder
Maybelline Cheeky Glow Blush in Peachy Sweetie
Faces Ultime Pro Metalliglow Champagne
Revlon Nearly Naked Powder Medium Deep to contour
Maybelline Fashion Brow Duo Brown
Essence Lash Princess Mascara
Miss Claire Lip Cream in no. 12

I know my dark circles are not completely covered, but I have neither used a corrector nor a full coverage foundation, I do not prefer using heavy base in regular. Maybelline Fit Me is just perfect for me, also on most days I only use a BB or CC cream as base with concealer and powder. Even the Maybelline Fit Me does not get that much use :p But then, that’s just me, I do not like heavy or full coverage for everyday. Though I am looking for a good orange corrector, and would be getting the LA Girl Pro Conceal in Orange to try.

Real Techniques Core Collection Brush Set Review

Real Techniques Core Collection Brush Set Review

By Sanchita

INTRODUCTION – Brushes are the best investment for makeup and it is very important to buy good quality long lasting brushes. When I say good brushes, all I can think of is MAC, Sigma, Inglot or Zoeva. Now, most of the brands are unavailable in India or too costly for a beginner.

But, Real Techniques brushes are both inexpensive as well as have great quality. After using their Expert brush and Powder brush, I picked up the Core Collection Brush Set at a recently sale. Here is my review after using it for a month.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION – Create a perfect canvas with our core collection of coverage essentials.

  • Contour brush: delicately applies highlighter to the cheekbones for a sheer, soft-focus contour.
  • Pointed foundation brush: unique cut for use with liquid foundation to build custom coverage
  • Detailer brush: precision cut to effortlessly conceal problem areas; or, use with lipstick for long-lasting shape and definition.
  • Buffing brush: ideal for full coverage application of powder and mineral foundation.
  • Panoramic case: dual carrier and stand keeps brushes organized on your counter or on the go. Also perfect for drying brushes upside-down.

 

PRICE – 2353 INR (Buy HERE)

MY REVIEW

Packaging – The Real Techniques Core Collection Brush Set comes in a black panoramic case which is very sturdy. It has a Velcro lock system and has a light weight feature as well. The brush can be stored inside the elastic bands which helps to hold the brushes. It is so easy to store as well as travel with this case. If you are taking a short trip, I would highly recommend this set as it caters the basic needs for base and lips makeup. Coming to the brush, they are packed in the typical ‘RT’ packaging. All the four brushes has the burnt bronze ferrules with black silicone handles for easy grip. The overall look for the case and brushes has a very ascetically pleasing yet a professional touch which I love a lot. The brushes are not unnecessarily bulky and is also light weight. All in all, the packaging is surely a thumbs up.

Bristles – This is one quality of Real Techniques brushes which make me go weak for them. The bristles are made of synthetic taklon and 100% cruelty free. The brushes are a dream to touch and has the extra plushy feel to it. This is why it applies and blend the products like a dream. Also, every brush is hand cut and the shape is so perfect that it can be put it a number of uses.

Brushes in details –

Contour brush – The contour brush is a gem! It comes with a round base and tapered top and fits so perfectly on the hollows of the cheeks. I used to use the angled brushes before but this one blends like a dream. In fact, it has various uses as well. The shape of the brush is neither small nor big and thus you can use it for various ways as well. Firstly, I use to blend the highlighter and it flawlessly blends both powder and cream products. You can also apply the blush precisely on the apple of the cheeks or when you simply want a flush of color. The brush has a fluffy nature and can be used to swipe off powder on the areas like under the eyes without poking the sensitive area at all. You can also blend bronzers on the forehead and sides of the face as well.

Pointed foundation brush – This is the least favorite of mine in the kit and definitely a decent one. The brush has a pointy head with a flat base. It resembles the general flat foundation brush but is much smaller in size. Due to this, it can only be used to apply the foundation of concealers but blending will take forever. Due to the small size of the brush, I use it to apply and blend concealer under the eyes using light pat motion. You can also use it to apply powder for baking the areas where you have applied concealer. Highlighting with this brush is also an easy task and I apply powder highlighter on the difficult areas like bridge of the nose, inner corners, etc.

Detailer brush – This is my favorite brush and I am so in love with it! A small detailer brush is important in every makeup kit and if the bristles are as soft as these, you have to love it. The detailer brush is very small with a flat edge and tapered top – pretty much like a miniature version of the pointed foundation brush in the set. This brush is a life saver when you want to spot conceal any flaw, correct that wing liner or apply concealer around the mouth. It reaches up to every difficult corner and blends beautifully. I have applied eye shadows with this and both cream and powder applies seamlessly. You can also apply and blend colors on the lash line and inner corners as well. This brush can also be used for the lips as well. Overall, it is a multipurpose one.

Buffing brush – RT Buffing Brush is a famous one. This brush is the largest of the four and has a round base with the fluffy top and great for buffing any cream, liquid or powder foundations. It blends out everything evenly and properly as well. The brush seems to be a sister of the RT Expert brush which is slightly dense and tightly packed than this one but performs more or less same. This Buffing brush works great for blending the bronzer or contouring as well. You can even use it to blend blush or highlighters. While blending and buffing everything, the brush reaches out to the corners as well due to the fluffiness and softness of the bristles.

Durability – If a makeup brush isn’t durable, it is no point using it. However, with RT the story is different, the brushes are extremely sturdy and nice to deal with. I have been constantly using them for a month now and till now have washed 3-4times. The brushes have never shed a single bristle, lost the shape or even cleans up pretty well. I generally use the baby shampoo and swirl on the palm to clean it properly. The bristles are synthetic taklon bristles and thus one you soak all the water on a cotton tee, the brush around 1hr to dry (small brushes take less than an hour) overall. Therefore, I am extremely pleased to use these Real Techniques brushes.

OVERALL- The Real Techniques Core Collection Brush Set comes with four brushes with multipurpose use of them and works like a charm for everyone. The bristles are soft, well-trimmed and blends everything profusely. Be it a beginner or professional, this is kit is highly recommended.

WHAT I LIKED

  • Sturdy case and brushes.
  • All the four brushes has the burnt bronze ferrules with black silicone handles.
  • The set has all 4 brushes – contour, foundation, buffing and detailing.
  • Multipurpose use.
  • Extremely durable brushes.
  • Never sheds a single bristle or loses the shape.
  • Easy to wash and dry.

WHAT I DISLIKED

  • None.

RATING – 9/10

Editor’s Note: You know I have been wanting to try RT brushes since a long time, but now I have too many other brushes. I might in the future. Loved the review and pictures.

My Top Favourite Blushes

My Top Favourite Blushes

Hi guys,

Today I am listing my top favourite blushes, 5 out of 6 are matte and perfect for day time. Only the Jordana one has shimmer but that is not much visible on the skin.

Maybelline Cheeky Glow Blush in Peachy Sweetie

It’s a light dusty rose pink and completely matte. The most affordable blush in the market and is pigmented enough! I recommend this to everyone, even if you are not a blush person and would like to own just one and not invest much in it, you can try this.

L’Oreal Paris Lucent Magique Blush of Light in Fuchsia Flush

Another super gorgeous hot pink shade! This is very bright and pigmented and you have to go with a very light hand when using this. It is priced at INR 850 but will last you forever. Absolutely love the packaging.

Marks & Spencer Limited Blusher in Damson

My go-to everyday blush, this is a light n*de mauve kind of shade, you can go lightly with this or layer for more intensity. The most natural looking blush I own

Jordana Blush in Sunlit Bronze

Again a very nice, everyday neutral shade. It’s a light brown with some shimmer. Very pigmented and use it with a light hand again as otherwise it might look muddy.

Sigma Blush in Cheeky

It’s a muted rosy brown shade, perfect for medium to fair skin tones.

MAC Bite of an Apple Blush

My most favourite blush ever, it’s a medium coral pink and looks beautiful on fair to medium skin tones. This will even show up well on deeper skin tones.

All the pictures in this post are clicked with the new Coolpad Mega Selfie Maker 2.5D! It has 8MP front camera and 8MP rear camera! I absolutely love the Royal Gold Color, and it is not at all heavy for 2500 mAh battery.

The pictures are vivid and true to colour! They have not been edited at all, only resized so that the post doesn’t take long to load. It is standard 5.5 inch screen and looks super stylish and expensive! 16GB internal memory and 3GB RAM, it supports dual 4G too.

This is the selfie I clicked with it, both a screenshot and the actual selfie.

It has Whiten, Smooth, Slim and Enlarge features for the front selfie camera. This is the Smooth effect.

Must Have Makeup Products for Monsoon

Must Have Makeup Products for Monsoon

Hi guys,

India is one country which has three seasons and rains/monsoon are the most integral middle season. We love it, hate it, but we cannot ignore it. And cannot not get drenched once, come what may. Because whenever you carry an umbrella, it will never rain while when you don’t as it’s very sunny, it will surely rain! Murphy’s laws :/

Anyhoo, since we cannot avoid it, we should be well prepared for it. Your makeup needs some change too in the monsoon, as you don’t want heavy foundations or makeup meltdown in monsoon.

Primer, makeup setting spray and waterproof makeup is the solution against monsoon 😀 Here are few of my makeup must haves for monsoon season:

1. Primer: A primer is very essential as it not only smoothens the pores and make your foundation glide seamlessly, it also holds your makeup in place in sweat & humidity. I am currently loving the Sephora Smoothing Primer and Make Up For Ever Step 1 Smoothing Skin Equalizer.

2. Concealer/BB cream: Now you do not need heavy foundation in monsoon as it’s bound to be humid and sticky too. Concealers/tinted moisturisers/BB creams are your best friend in monsoon. I love the Ponds BB Cream and the Lakme Absolute Face Stylist Concealer. These are my go to, keep the makeup in place and are not at all heavy. The concealer also instantly brightens my under eyes.

3. Cream Blushes/Highlighters/Cheek & Lip Stains: Go for cream to powder finish products in monsoon or tints. They are not too heavy, give a soft and dewy finish and the color/tint stays put through the day. I love the Kryolan Lip & Cheek Stain, Faces Ultime Pro Metalliglow Highlighter in Champagne, The Body Shop Cheek & Lip Stain

4. Eyebrow pencil/pomade: If you use eyeshadow to set your eyebrows, you will need to set them with a wax or they would obviously wash away in monsoon. I would suggest using a pencil/pomade as they are more waxy and keep the eyebrows in place. I like the Maybelline Fashion Brow Duo Shaper

5. Waterproof Eyeliner & Mascara: Need I say more for this? You don’t want to end up with panda eyes, having eyeliner & mascara all around 😀 Maybelline Magnum Barbie is completely water proof!

6. Matte Liquid Lipsticks/Lip Crayons: Creamy lipsticks would bleed and be all over your face, if in case you get drenched. Matte liquid lipsticks are the safest bet and also they are very much in trend these days! I love Chambor Extreme Wear Transferproof Liquid Lipsticks & Colorbar Kiss Proof Liquid Lipsticks. Also Matte Lip crayons are a good option, I like the Maybelline Lip Gradation.

7. Loose Powder: Compact powder would slip in humid climate, but a loose mineral powder works well for monsoon. Also if you have baked your face and especially undereyes, it will stay put through the day! I am currently loving the Faces Mineral Loose Powder.

8. Makeup Setting Spray: And to set it all, a makeup setting spray. My favourite is the Colorbar Stay the Day Finishing Mist.

9. Bright Nail Paints: Wear all your reds, oranges, blues. Bright nails and monsoon go hand in hand.

So yes, with these changes in your makeup, you are all set to face the monsoon!

All the pictures in this post are clicked with the new Coolpad Mega Selfie Maker 2.5D! It has 8MP front camera and 8MP rear camera! I absolutely love the Royal Gold Color, and it is not at all heavy for 2500 mAh battery.

Lakme CC Color Transform Cream Beige, Bronze Review & Demo

Lakme CC Color Transform Cream Beige, Bronze Review & Demo

Hi guys,

As some of you wanted a review on these new Lakme 9 to 5 Color Transform CC Creams, here you go..

What the Company claims: Tired of using a bunch of different products every day to get that perfect look, what if you could have your fairness cream, moisturizer, sunscreen and concealer all in one seamless CC cream. It’s time to toss the clutter aside and make way for first colour changing CC cream from the house of Lakme.. Lakme’s first advanced fairness cream that changes color as you blend, to give a make-up finish.

Key Ingredients: Water, Color changing beads, UVA & UVB Sunscreens.

Ingredients:

Warning: Avoid contact with eyes. Wash your eyes thoroughly with clean water in case of eye contact

It Instantly:

  • Brightens
  • Conceals
  • Evens Skin Tone
  • Moisturizes
  • Protects against sun with SPF 30 PA++

Shades Available: Beige, Bronze

MRP: Rs.325/- for 30g (Buy at Rs.260 HERE)

I think they have discontinued the previous CC Cream, since that was in two shades Beige and Bronze and I was in middle, I could never use it much. Beige was light for me and Bronze was dark for me.

Thankfully, with this Color Transform Cream, it blends and matches your skin tone, so I need not worry about it being light or dark. Bronze will definitely be darker for me though but the Beige one matches me well.

It comes in a similar tube packaging but in an ombre white to nude pink color, representing the color transform. It comes out as a white cream with tiny, little grey-black beads in it. They do not feel like beads or gritty since they are very minute. But those help in actually transforming the cream. Once you apply and blend it onto the skin, it changes color and matches your skin tone. Both shades look exactly the same in swatch, but once blended you can notice how beige is light and bronze is darker.

Bronze, Beige

Beige is perfect for fair to medium skin tone and Bronze is perfect for medium to dark skin tones. I am glad they have strong beige yellow undertones and are perfect for most Indian skin tones. Though if you are cool toned or pinker, this might look a little yellow on you.

Watch detailed video and demo here..

This cream instantly brightens and evens out the skin, as claimed. It does feel moisturizing and also gives SPF30 PA++ protection. Though this will not cover your dark circles or blemishes, you will have to use a concealer separately on top for that. You also need to set this cream with a powder since it is on the heavier side.

But once set, it stays put for a good 6-7 hours, only needs a powder touch up in between. I do use a concealer for under eyes and a powder separately, but I do see myself using this a lot for everyday basis.

I totally recommend this for college and work wear. This is perfect for everyday use and with the online discount, it turns out to be pretty economical and gives sunscreen protection with PA++ too.

If you do not like using separate products and love multi tasking products, you will love it! If you need more coverage and wear makeup regularly, you can use this a primer.

Also one thing I noticed is the more you blend, the more it adapts to your skin tone. I am not really sure, let me know in the comments below, if you tried and experienced that.

Overall, definitely recommend it!

Top 10 BB/CC Creams in India, Prices, Buy Online

Top 10 BB/CC Creams in India, Prices, Buy Online

By Sanchita

Summer always calls for less makeup products on the face and we always prefer skipping the foundation. However, we still need something to look fresh, bright and that would even out the skin tone. So, the best option is BB/CC cream. BB means beauty balm which enhances the skin and brightens it while CC stands for complexion care and hides the minor blemishes and gives an even look to the skin. It is great for day time and office wear as well with its light weight and super absorbing formula. So, let us see the top 10 BB/CC creams in India.

1. Maybelline Clearglow Shine Free BB Stick: Price- Rs.250 for 10g (Review HERE)

Maybelline Clearglow BB Stick is a great choice for oily/combination skin, especially this summer. It has a mineral clay formula which guarantees 12hr shine control and contains the goodness of Salicylic acid to manage combination & oily skin. It never clogs the pores or suffocate the skin and has a beautiful sweat-resistant and sebum – resistant formula leaves the skin fresh all day long. It also contains SPF 21/PA+++ that protects skin from sun damage. It blends well and has sheer to buildable coverage. Downside is, it is only available in 2 shades.

2. Garnier BB Cream Miracle Skin Perfector: Price- Rs 99 for 18g (Review HERE) (Buy HERE)

It comes in a tube packaging with a creamy texture. However, the consistency is neither too runny in texture nor too thick. With its light weight texture, it is a comfortable emollient but non-greasy texture. It blends seamless without any streakiness or patchiness and gives a very sheer coverage. It adds a very soft glow to the skin and astonishingly wears quite long and well suited for oily to combination skin. You can also use it as a tinted moisturizer and the price point is extremely good. Further, it is enriched with UVA/UVB protection with SPF 24. The only downside is, it comes in a single shade.

3. Lakme CC Cream: Price- Rs.275 for 30ml (Review HERE) (Buy HERE)

Lakme CC Cream comes in a beige colored tube with a silver screw on cap. It has a slightly tight texture but surprisingly, it bends quite flawlessly on the skin and gives an extremely natural and airbrushed finish. It almost feel nothing and gives a soft matte finish which does not look dry or cakey, accentuating on fine lines. It gives light to medium coverage and evens out the skin tone and you can also layer it without the fear of looking unnatural. It also provides a brightening effect but a subtle one. It is long wearing and works great for every skin type.

4. Colorbar Perfect Match Beauty Balm: Price- Rs. 550 for 29g (Review HERE)

This is undoubtedly the best BB cream in India. It is available in 3shades with broad spectrum sun protection (UVA and UVB – SPF 20). The tube packaging is great with the texture of a creamy-mousse and blends on the skin like a dream. It gives a matte finish with a light coverage which looks really natural and you can happily skip the foundation. The yellow undertones compliments and brightens the skin pretty well and has a long wearing formula of around 4- 5hours without any touch ups. The product is also paraben-free.

5. Deborah Milano 5 in 1 BB Cream: Price- Rs 625 for 30ml

Deborah Milano Claims: 5-in- 1 BB CREAM has a soft, fluid consistency that allows for as little or as much coverage as required, without ever looking cakey. It is available in 6 shades which is great for a BB Cream in India. It has a matte finish which is ideal for oily and combination skin. It conceals and minimizes imperfections like dark spots and pigmentation and evens out skin tone while also protects it against UV radiation and pollution. It has a long wearing formula and wears even long when touchups with powder or blotting sheets are done.

6. Ponds White Beauty BB+ Fairness Cream: Price- Rs 140 for 18g (Buy HERE)

Ponds White Beauty BB+ Fairness Cream is quite a budget friendly one. It comes in white tube with screw cap. The cream is enriched with a powerful mix of Vitamin B3, Vitamin E, Allantoin and advanced superior sunscreen protection of SPF 30 PA++. The BB Cream blends well on the skin to give a natural semi-matte finish and effectively hides minor blemishes and also brightens up the skin. The consistency is great and can be mixed with a foundation for better coverage as well. It works best for normal to dry skin and oily skin in winters only. However, the cream is available in only 1 shade which won’t suit everybody.

7. L’Oréal Paris True Match Skin Idealizing BB Cream: Price- Rs 550 for 30ml (Review HERE)

This is an ideal BB Cream for dry skin and comes with a high SPF of SPF 35+++ that also shields skin against environmental assault. Sometimes it may cast a whitish cast but after 10-15mins it happily adapts to the skin tone. It blends well and seamless on the skin and also brightens up the skin, adds a soft glow while being almost matte when set with a powder. Further, the skin is enriched with anti-ageing active ingredients to smoothen out skin’s texture. It also has a wearing formula of around 4-5hours with little touchups.

8. MAC Prep + Prime Beauty Balm: Price- Rs.2100 for 40ml

This Prep + Prime BB Cream SPF 35 by M.A.C. is one of the best high end option. It has a light weight liquid, but not runny, consistency and blends best with a duo fibre brush or Beauty Blender sponge, hiding pigmentation and dark spots very well and keeps the skin shiny and moisturized during the whole day. It has a nice flowery fruity scent to it as well. You require a very less amount of product and it is also long wearing on the skin as well even in summers.

9. Clinique Age Defense BB Cream with SPF30 – Price-Rs. 1900

Clinique products are always counted among the best ones and this Age Defense BB Cream is no exception. It has SPF of 30 that protects the skin well. it has three shades which suits pretty well without any ghastly whitish cast. The consistency is a bit thick and product is 100% allergy tested and fragrance free. It provides medium coverage and also brightens up the skin tone for a daytime look. This BB Cream is well suited for oily to acne prone skin and have antioxidants. You can also use this as a day cream as well.

This multitasking formula perfects skin in various ways, like, it covers imperfections and evens skin tone, draws moisture to skin (well suited for normal to dry skin) brightens dullness instantly and over time, helps reduce the look of wrinkles (antioxidants and skin repair ingredients) and shields skin against damaging UVA/UVB rays with SPF 35. It is available in a wide shade range for all skin tones (available in 9 shades with distinct yellow tones) from fair to dark and won’t disappoint you at all.

Editor’s Note: I absolutely love the Ponds BB Cream, it matches me perfectly and the coverage is super! One of my friend swear by the Chanel CC Cream, so would like to include that too as a recommendation.

Kala Chashma Baar Baar Dekho Katrina Kaif Makeup Look | Makeup Tutorial

Hi guys,

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 😀

DIY Eyeshadow Primer

DIY Eyeshadow Primer

By Simran

We have all been new to the makeup world some time or another and learnt everything by trial and error. One thing which comes in the mind of a person new to makeup is; affordable makeup products since they haven’t mastered any techniques and hence need affordable options to experiment and learn with.

And for anyone trying their hands on eye shadows, is to get a good eye shadow primer, that should be the prime objective. An eye shadow primer acts as a base for your eye shadow, makes the pigmentation of the eye shadow more visible and helps in the staying power of the eye shadow on your lids.

However, there aren’t many affordable options available in the Indian market. When I started using eye shadows, there were barely any primers available, even the costly ones.

So, I DIY-d my very own eye shadow primer and used it for ages till I got an actual eye shadow primer from the market. Hopefully, this will help anyone new to makeup or someone who wants to save some bucks on an eye shadow primer.

It consists of basic things which we all have lying around anyways. It works the same as any eye shadow primer in the market would.

What you’ll need: 

  • Foundation
  • Concealer
  • Body Butter or Thick Moisturizer
  • Empty and Clean Tub
  • Toothpick

Starting with, you’d want to sanitize the tub you want to keep your primer in.  I have used this old lip balm tub and sanitized it. You can even buy empty tubs similar to these online.

Step1

Initially, you want to pour some foundation in the tub, the foundation is the base of the product so you should use the most of it depending on how much eye primer you want to make. I am using this Foundation by the body shop in my eye shadow primer.

Step2

Next, put in a little concealer, use it lesser than the foundation, half than how much foundation you used to be precise. It will help in adding that little brightness in your eye shadow primer. I am using this Deliplus concealer I had got from Spain.

Step3

Finally, put a bit of body butter or thick body lotion, you shouldn’t use a light/thin consistency moisturizer since it would make the consistency of your eye primer runny.

The ratio of the moisturizer/body butter should be same or teeny less than the concealer.  What the moisturizer does, is to retain the moisture on your lids underneath all that eye shadow. I am using this parachute body lotion.

The ratio you want to work in is 2:1:1 that is 2 parts foundation, 1 part concealer and 1 part moisturizer.

Step4

Mix it well with the help of a toothpick and store it away well. Always use a brush to apply the product to avoid spreading any germs and always pat some powder on top of the eye shadow primer to help it not to crease.

I wouldn’t really recommend making huge batches of the eye shadow primer. Make a batch that’ll not last you more than 1-2 months. You require a really small amount for each use.

Done

I have used this eye shadow primer for more than 8 hours and it lasted me without creasing or fading my eye makeup.

Editor’s Note: That sounds like a good eye primer. I would also recommend adding a little glycerine in place or addition to the body butter, just a tiny amount.

Have you tried DIYing eyeshadow primer?
