Lakme Salon #TheSculptLook Makeover,Vlog & Contest

Hi guys,

A few days ago I went to the Lakme Salon to try out the new Sculpt Look. Read all about the hair and makeup in The Sculpt Collection HERE.

There are various hairstyles and different makeup looks which form part of the Sculpt collection, it is all about the chiseled,sculpted look and a lot of contouring on the face, sharp hairstyles,etc.

You can always get it tweaked a bit according to your face shape and how you want to wear it. I loved the Marsala Stairs haircut and style, but that was something very,very sharp and the stylist Shefali told me I would need to straighten my hair all the time for the effect of the stairs to show otherwise it would not look good on me. Another option was The Pixel Bob but then again I did not want to go that short. Rest were buns which would work perfect with gowns or something Indian.

Hair

We went with the Victorian Matte look, but since I was wearing a casual tee, the bun would not have looked good and we changed that into a sculpted pony with a pouf and a lot of back combing at the front.

For the makeup, the entire face was contoured and I was given a darker, warmer base. A wash of warm gold for the eyes and inner half of the lower lashline. The very long winged eyeliner did not work for my face, so we went with kitten flick and kept the lips matte and dark too.

A closer look at the makeup

For the lips, Pallavi used the new Lakme Absolute Sculpt Matte lipstick in ‘Pink Me Up‘ and applied it with a brush, giving the lips a perfect sculpted shape.

Since the lights at the salon were bright and yellow, colors appear a bit different.

Here is my ‘Before’ and ‘After’

Styling the new Lakme #HairIsFashion Hairstyle and Win a Hair Makeover

Hey guys,

Remember my new Lakme Absolute Salon #HairIsFashion Show Stopping Hair makeover HERE. I am in love with the subtle highlights and the cut Shefali gave me.

The highlights get a bit lighter and more visible after a few washes..so they are a little more prominent now.

How I would love to style my new hair?

With western/casual clothes, I love the way its blow dried here. I would prefer doing the same..straight locks with in between subtle hints of highlights on the crown and from behind the neck. The auburn looks perfect with a brick red lipstick here.

With Indian wear like a saree/dress, I would go with softer curls on the ends turning them outwards something like this..

Or add some embellishment with bangs similar to this (I am thinking of experimenting with short bangs)

Or side swept hair with waves..

Curls pinned to one side something similar to this..

Can’t wait to try different hairstyles..would definitely update you guys with pics of more trials..

For now, here is a contest for you guys..one of you gets a chance to win this Show Stopping Hair Makeover at Lakme Salon.

Participant must be a resident of India and must have a Lakme Salon in their city..the winner gets a Rs.1500/- voucher for their very own Show Stopping Hair Makeover.

My Lakme ‘Show Stopping Hair’ Makeover

Hey guys,

Remember the Lakme Show Stopping Hair Collection I had posted about HERE and also the show I attended at Lakme Fashion Week W/F’14 which was styled by Little Shilpa.

The collection includes three dramatic themes:

• ‘Illusion’, inspired by the natural phenomenon of the ‘Northern Lights’, it is a playful fusion of colors

• ‘Metamorphosis’ inspired by the complex art forms of postmodern Paris, it is the line of dual hairstyles and textures ranging from straight and curly, to short and long

• ‘Moulin Rouge’, a modern take on the ‘classic elegant’ with bouffants and waves

So I have never ever colored my hair and was very apprehensive but still wanted to give it a shot. I was given an appointment at the Lakme Absolute Salon, Bandra which by the way is the most awesome Lakme Salon in Mumbai. I love that place, been there 3-4 times, its always a pleasure.

I chose the hairstyle in the below pic..

 

I was attended by Shefali (who btw is amazing) I told her my apprehensions that I want to maintain the length of my hair and I am coloring for the first time, so something very dark and minimal. She heard me out and suggested me the best route we could work on, also since I had cut my hair just a month ago for the wedding, she said the hair flow is perfect and she will just texturize a bit and no need of chopping off.

She brought the hair color booklet (shown above) and played a small game with me as to which color do I naturally divert towards..and it was darker shades obviously. I did not want global color but subtle highlights. we went for streaks at the top and then at the ends starting below the neck with enough space in between for the color to be visible.

She suggested I go with auburn blend which would be perfect for my hair and will just play a peek a boo in between just as I wanted it.

We started with the hair color and it had to be kept on for about 35 minutes. I was also given steam since my hair was virgin which takes more time for the color to develop.

And later the hair was washed, blow dried and some texturizing wherever required. Shefali gave me slightly shorter bangs in the front as I like it that way.

Before-After

I loved the outcome! It was just perfect..the way I pictured it and wanted it to be. I was so happy with the results, I did not expect I would like color on my hair!

One of you will get a chance to experience this Show Stopping Hair Makeover..I will announce the contest soon 🙂

I hope you liked the result too..do let me know 🙂

This time for nails and eyes there were these recently launched Illusion range..

I got the nails done in the shade ‘Illusion’. This is the nail section..

Illusion is a metallic lilac silver..one prettty shade it is ! I loved it..in fact all four shades in this range look great..
There is a hair makeover section and a makeup section too..Remember my hair last time (see HERE)
This time since the Salon was set up inside Hyatt itself..heat could not be used and hence there were only upstyles and braids..which I was not too keen on..so did not go for the hair makeover this time..only got my nails done..
I attended the Lakme Absolute Illusion Masterclass (Read about it HERE) and 2 shows-

Haircut at Lakme Absolute Salon Mumbai

By now you must be knowing about the new Lakme Absolute Salon that first launched in Delhi and now recently in Mumbai..

How Lakme Absolute Salon is different from other Lakme Salons was my first question..

I am told the services are not the normal kinds..all latest trends from all over the world are adopted and even straight from the runway..Lakme Absolute Salon are at a much advanced level in terms of styling..

They have services for skin, hair,nails, etc..I met Ron who is in charge of the Lakme Absolute Salon in Bandra, Mumbai..its inside in the opposite lane of Shoppers Stop..

I loved the setup..its 2000 sq.feet huge..and looked amazing inside out..quite spacious..and has different sections for each service..

I was invited for the haircut and styling..which was done by Meena..she washed my hair first and went ahead with the cut..I told her I wanted the length..and she suggested a nice cut..and kept the crown area hair a little shorter for the bounce..since the hair get flat otherwise..and added side bangs but not too short..something I can wear everyday to work too and does not require too much styling and maintenance..

Hair was blow dried and styled at the end..she scrunched the ends for a softer messier natural look..

They use Thalgo skin care and TIGI Bed Head for hair and a few other renowned brands too..and they also stock the entire Lakme Absolute range..and Ron told me they are also going to have a retail counter for sale..

And finally my haircut..

I hope you like it..and share your experience if you have visited the Lakme Absolute Salon before..
