Tricks for that Perfect Pout


Nothing is more irresistible than a kiss-perfect pout and with this season’s trend for eye-popping lip colour you want yours to be in tip-top condition. Ever wondered how these celebrities keep their pouts in top condition? Check out these expert tips:

From citric orange to candy pink, anything goes in the brightly hued style stakes, so a smooth and hydrated kisser is a must.

But sometimes a busy lifestyle or dietary slip-up can leave you with dry, chapped lips just when you need to look your picture-perfect best – but fear not, because with the following genius tricks of the beauty trade your pout will be nothing less than kissable in next to no time.

“Apply a small amount of acetone (nail-polish remover) on a cotton bud and run across your lips. This will instantly remove any flaky, dry skin. Follow with a water-soaked cotton bud and add lip balm afterwards to condition,” Max Factor UK ambassador Caroline Barnes told the July edition of Elle magazine.

For a subtly plumped effect, raid your kitchen cupboard for a natural remedy.

You don’t have to resort to drastic measures to achieve that bee-stung look, as make-up artist Florrie White revealed, places offering fish pedicures are popping up around the world. Literally, you dip your feet into a vat of fish and “relax” as they dine to their heart’s content nibbling off all of the dead skin. As if a celeb trying this isn’t bad enough (we’re talking to you, Jessica Simpson), Angelina Jolie told Vanity Fair last year that she sent her young sons for this bizarre foot-bath.

 “A drop of peppermint oil dabbed onto the centre of lips will create a fuller pout instantly. It’s a gentle alternative to stinging lip plumbers. Follow with clear gloss,” she said.

And if you find you have run out of your favourite lipstick shade just as you’re about to dash off, the answer could be hiding in your fridge.

Try crushed-up raspberries for a luxe, rich colour that lasts. Just press the liquid onto lips for a natural flush,” Burberry Beauty artistic consultant Wendy Rowe recommended.

I never knew about the acetone tip..would surely try it out..I hope you liked these tips..

Any tips you did like to add ?

Parineeti Chopra in Ishaqzaade


I guess many of you must have seen this movie by now..I happened to see it twice..not that I loved it so much..but had to accompany a friend..I found the movie ok..but did not like the ending obviously..Loved the songs..’Main Pareshaan’ is so hummable and nice..and ‘Hua Chokra Jawaan Re’ :p

Parineeti is sans make up in most of the scenes especially after the interval..just her smudged kohl..lots of it..on the waterline and lower lashline..(She plays a Muslim character in the movie). Her dark circles are quite visible in some scenes..but she is blessed with a good skin..so looks quite natural and believable.

Her look was very natural and fresh in the starting scenes…She does not sport much of color on the face or any fancy hair dos..but a very girl next door kinda look.

Tips to achieve the look:

  • Dab concealer to hide blemishes and dark circles.
  • Light touch of Tinted Moisturiser
  • Wash of chocolate brown eye shadow all over the lids. (In some scenes she had no eye shadow at all)
  • Lots of kajal on the waterline and lower lash line and smudge it with a Q tip or ring finger
  • Tightline the eyes with a black eye pencil.
  • A very thin layer of a liquid liner close to the upper lash line.
  • Apply 1-2 coats of a lengthening mascara.
  • Fill in your brows with a brown eye shadow.
  • She did not sport any blush or highlighter..a hint of a peachy pink blush in the starting scenes.
  • Soft pink tinted lip balm or a touch of MLBB peachy brown shade for the lips.
Of course you can add her black waist coat with a smiley badge (that was cute!)

So that is it..I hope you liked the break down..did you see the movie ? You liked ?

Makeup lessons from beauty campaigns

Uncategorized, , , ,

Some of the best photographers, models and makeup artists come together at beauty product photo shoots. The culminating product is the campaign image, that speaks for everything the product can achieve and more. We took a look at some of our favourite beauty campaigns in the recent past and the makeup lessons we learned from them.

Monochrome magnets

 

At first glance, it doesn’t look like much but the monochromatic look is the epitome of effortless beauty. Deepika Padukone for Neutrogena Fine Fairness cream, Sonakshi Sinha for Pantene and Brazilian model Isabeli Fontana for Estee Lauder Sensuous Nude Fragrance show us how to indulge in this natural yet glamourous look. Padukone went with peach shade for her eyes and lips while Fontana went the bronze-nude route. For the monochromatic look to work, make sure your brows and lashes stand out with a little help from brow powder and a lengthening mascara.

Match your lip colour with your nail laquer

Halle Berry for Revlon Heavenly Metals Collection teaches us a fun idea of matching our eye makeup with our nails. The hint of silver eye shadow on the inner corners of the eyes pairs easily with the flash of silver on her nails.

Vogue.in tip: Try the same technique with gold or bronze shades for a warm take on silver.
Bigger brighter eyes

The lipstick on Kate Winslet is gorgeous but what drew our attention was the eye makeup in this campaign for Lancome L’Absolu Nu Lipsticks. Note how the makeup artist has lined Winslet’s entire upper lash line with a soft black eye shadow but only the outer half along the lower lash line. Its an insider’s secret for making your eyes look bigger. A flesh toned pencil eyeliner along the water line brightens up the eyes.

A game of balance

In the campaign for Shiseido Shimmering Rouge Lipsticks, model Raquel Zimmerman is shown wearing a shocking purple (shade – RS 308 Iron Maiden) on her lips. Its almost the only pop of colour on her face. The eyes are toned down with a gleaming champagne shade. For a similar look try Shiseido Cream Eyeshadow – lemon sugar.

On similar lines is the Guerlain Terra Inca campaign featuring model Natalia Vodianova. Her bold bronze and blue eye makeup is paired with a touch of soft pink gloss on the lips. We think its a great look for a fun day out in the sun.

Winging it

The wing is an easy way to glam up your eye makeup routine. Pair it with a smokey eye like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in this campaign for L’Oreal Paris Total Repair 5 Serum. Or try the mini wing, paired with bronze eyeshadow as seen in the Chambor Jewels campaign.

I loved the makeup in Lancome, Guerlain, Shisheido and Chambor campaigns. Dont you think the model’s eyes in the Chambor campaign are looking awesome..I loved the mini wing,dark kohl and lots of mascara !

Which is your favorite look ? Or something you would love doing ?

How to get a Retro Look

Uncategorized, , , , ,

Vogue’s retro look is easy peasy and nice..

Go the retro route with our make-up tutorial

The winged eyeliner is here to stay so it is only fit that we teach you how to create this glamorous look inspired by the likes of Elizabeth Taylor and Brigitte Bardot. Vogue.in teamed with Lead Make-up Artist, L’Oreal Paris, Ojas Rajani to learn how to recreate this look in seven easy steps. “It’s the most glamourous of looks and is also among the easiest “says Rajani. We agree.

Step 1

Step 1: Apply foundation all over face and neck. Follow up with a concealer under the eyes, corners of the nose and mouth. Dab a little on any blemishes you want to cover.“Gently pat the concealer on. Don’t rub it too hard on the skin. This helps cleverly camouflage the blemishes and keeps makeup from looking cakey.” advises Rajani.

Step 2 .

Step 2: With a flat eye shadow brush apply a gold eye shadow all over your lid. Follow up with a black shadow, tracing a line along your lash line. This becomes the base for the eyeliner and keeps it from looking too strong.

Step 3

Step 3: With a black pencil liner draw a thick line across your upper lash line following up on the trace. “Always start from the outer corner and move inwards,” says Rajani letting us in on a Bollywood makeup secret.

Step 4

Step 4: With a small dense brush smudge the line. Now, extend it on the outer corner of your eye moving upwards and outwards creating the wing. Choose the length of the wing according to your preference. Remember, the longer the wing, the higher the drama. We like the Revlon Luxurious Color Smoky Crayon – Black Smoke for a thick line. “This is the perfect look for women with honey or olive skin tones. It recreates the magic of the doe eyes and gentle flush in the cheeks.” says Rajani.

Step 5

Step 5: Fill your eyebrows and finish off with a good dose of lengthening mascara.

Step 6    
Step 6: Apply a matte rose blush on the cheeks. We recommend the Clinique Powder Blusher in Honey blush. It works well on a range of skin tones, light to dark. “The frost gold on the eye needs to be softened up with a gentle flush on the cheeks. A rose-y matte blush helps achieve this.” says Rajani.

Step 7: For a softer day time take on the look choose a nude champagne lip color. We recommend the L’Oreal Glam Shine – 405. For a night time look when it’s easier to wear deeper shades, go all out with a scarlet lip. Our favorite is the Chanel Rouge Allure- Excessive.

Bare and beautiful

Uncategorized,

Saw the article in Mumbai Mirror today..liked it..so thought of sharing…3 different looks…Gemma Arterton,Karisma Kapoor n Malaika Arora Khan…all dewy natural make up.

1) Gemma Arterton

To get Gemma’s look, start by prepping up your skin. Using the right products is essential — applying moisturiser, eye-cream and sunblock should be part of your daily ritual. Whether going out in the day or night, get a dewy glow by mixing a bit of bronzer with your moisturiser or using a tinted moisturiser. It makes your skin look like you just stepped out of an energising bath. A light cream blush, with a hint of colour, on the apple of your cheeks will make it look like you just stepped in from the cold. Apply loads of mascara (but comb it out to re move clumps) and put a dot of silver or white highlight in the inner cor ner of your eye to open them up. For some colour on your lips, look for a lipstick or gloss that is a little darker than your lip colour. Instead of applying it straight out of the tube, put a dot in the centre of your lips and spread outwards with the help of a brush or your fingers. In case of lipstick, dilute the colour by spreading it with the help of a colourless lip balm or petroleum jelly. This way, you will have only a hint of colour on your lips.

2) Karisma Kapoor

Karisma is completely devoid of any base make-up. To get her look, just rub on some moisturiser. Don’t forget to use a concealer under your eyes or on any zits you may have. Use some brown kajal on the inner rim of the eyes to define them. Karisma is wearing a frosty pink lipstick with a liner of the same colour, which works with very pale skin. Blush on the apple of your cheeks is the only other thing you need.

3) Malaika Arora Khan

If you have combination skin like Malaika, use a tinted moisturiser and then blot your T-Zone (forehead, nose) with some translucent powder. If you have patchy skin and want to even it out without looking caked up, mix a drop of foundation with your moisturiser and apply it evenly over your face. A slightly tinted blush (in a creamy formulation) will look natural. Again, look for a color closest to your natural skin color in peach, pink or bronze. To define the eyes slightly, line them on the inside with a chocolate or black kajal pencil. Smudging it a bit with the help of a cotton bud also looks sexy. Malaika has lined her lips with a pencil that’s close to her lipcolour and filled the inside with gloss and blurred the edges.

So which look did u guys like d most ?
I loved all three but I just love Karisma from umpteen years…so I am partial towards her :p
