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

MRP: Rs.995/- (Buy 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 have used the Illuminating Shimmer Brick in Coral for my blush and the same gold from that to highlight.

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.

Maybelline India Blushed Nudes Palette Review, Swatches, Tutorial

Hi guys,

I have been playing with The Blushed Nudes Palette and also created this look you see here.

What the Company claims: With all the things you’ll love about the new Blushed Nudes Palette, here are a few more:
– 12 rose-gold infused shades
– Easily blend-able
– Creates countless looks
– Compliments every skin tone

MRP: Rs.899/- for 9g

They have 13 different eye shadow combinations given behind, same like in the original Nudes, and that’s a very interesting idea. I can’t wait to try some of these looks.

The packaging of the palette is exactly like the original Nudes Palette and the pricing is also the same. It comes with a small applicator which has a sponge tip on one side and a brush on one side. The brush is pretty good for using in the inner corners or highlighting brow bone.

The palette is quite handy and small to carry along. It does not come with a mirror sadly, I would have loved a mirror.

The original Nudes Palette had all warm shades and more of browns, this palette has more pinks and grays and all cool toned shades. While the original Nudes Palette was supposed to pretty similar shades wise to the Urban Decay Naked Palette, this one the Blushed Nudes is very close shade wise to the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette.

If you follow me on Snapchat (bhumika_t), you must have seen a comparision of this palette with the same one in US and the shades are quite different, a lot of you took screenshot of that image coz the palette was quite different. I believe the US palette has more pinks and mauves and lighter shades and those shades might not show up on all Indian skintones, so they kept more of greys and darker shades in the Indian palette.

There are mostly satin finish shades, with one deep plum shade being shimmery and there are two mattes. One is a greyish taupe shade which is not that pigmented and the other is a matte white shade which is pretty decent.

Most of the shades are pretty pigmented while few are not that good and need a lot of layering for the colors to show up. But they stay on pretty good throughout the day once applied, more longer with a primer. They do not crease but the finish is not as fresh and slightly fade at the end of the day.

Here are the swatches:

TOP ROW:

The top row has all whites, peaches and pinks

BOTTOM ROW:

The bottom row has greys, taupes and purples.

I created this pink smokey eye look with this palette..

Overall I would say, this is a decent palette and worth checking out. We do not have many palette options available in India, and hardly any cool toned or pink-gray based. For the price, this is definitely pretty good. I do recommend this.

I hope you liked the look, do let me know your thoughts in the comments below.

FOTD: Golden Eyes (Indian Ethnic Look)

Hi guys,

I attended a friend’s engagement today and felt like getting decked up a bit, so did some makeup and went with golden eyes.

I wore this pretty orange and pink lace anarkali with golden borders, it’s one of my favourites. So I went with golden and orange tones overall.

For the base, I used the L’Oreal Paris Infallible Reno Liquid Foundation, trying this out currently. Review coming up soon.

I received this pretty eyeshadow quad from May Fab Bag (Review coming next) called Be a Bombshell in Madrid which is the perfect blend of gold,bronze and orange, so I used only this.

I used the beige shade all over my eyes till the lid, the golden shade on the lids and the dark brown on the outer half and crease. For the lower lids, I went with the orangey shade in the inner half and the dark brown on the outer half.

Lined my eyes with the Maybelline Colossal Liner and used the Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara. For the waterline, I used the L’Oreal Paris Sapphire Blue Gel Liner which looks almost black.

And on lips, I used the Maybelline Rebel Bouquet Lipstick in REB04.

I skipped any blush or highlighter since the face was bright enough. I don’t generally use powders overall as I like dewy finish. But for T-zone, it becomes important as I have combination skin.

I had to rush and did not have much time to find products and hence, finished this quickly with whatever products handy 🙂

I hope you liked the look. It is quite simple and basic, do let me know in the comments below 🙂

EOTD: Neutral Reddish Brown Eye Look

EOTD: Neutral Reddish Brown Eye Look

Guest Post by Reshma

Reshma created this reddish brown neutral look for us..

Products used:
Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Bad to the bronze as base.
MUA baked eyeshadow trio in Innocence
Makeup Geek eyeshadow in Cocoa Bear
Maybelline Mega Plush Mascara

Firstly apply the colour tattoo all over the lid as a base and keep it under the crease. Next apply the dark greenish brown shade from the MUA trio to the entire eyelid <number marked (1) in the picture> and also to the lower lashline.
Then apply the (2) colour to the inner corners and (3) from the same MUA trio to the brow bone for a highlight.
Using a blending brush pick up some of that cocoa bear and blend the colour in the crease. Since cocoa bear is a matte colour it gives dimension to the look.
Finally using a black gel eyeliner just line the top and bottom lash line.
Curl the lashes and apply mascara and your done!

This is a quick simple look which looks great with brown eyes and medium skin tones.

You can also use similar colours that you may already have in your collection. As this is a very neutral look you can easily recreate it.
