Wedding Season - Eye Makeup

Hello Beauties!!
My 2nd anniversary is near that's why I did a wedding look.
Just wanna share a secret -
When I got married I noticed that my wedding pictures were not clearly showing my eye's shape and then I compared it to my reception's photographs where my eyes were popping and was looking very cute :). I noticed that the difference between applying eyeliner was different!
Note : If you're getting married soon then please make sure when your makeup artist define your eyes with eyeliner, it's thick!

Okay! Now comes the look...
You will need :-

• Foundation
• Compact/Loose powder.
• Eye primer.
• White glitter eye shadow.
• Red Eye shadow. (You can choose any other color matching your wedding dress/Lehnga/Saree)
• Golden-Bronze eye shadow.
• Black or Brown eye shadow.
• Liquid/Gel eyeliner.
• Kajal. (for water line).
• Black Mascara.

1) For face - Moisturizer -> Foundation -> Concealer -> Compact.
For eyes - Eye primer -> Concealer for dark circles -> Compact/Loose Powder.
Now apply white glitter eye shadow on whole eye lid to the brow bone.

Oriflame Beauty EyeLiner Stylo Black & Brown Review

Hello Beauties!!

This is my very old Eyeliner Stylo of Oriflame. I forgot it to review it when I purchased them. Found it in corner of my dressing table's box...hehehe 

Well I was totally loving it when I purchased it and used it every single day but after some time when I bought something else as eyeliner I completely forgot about them. I know that's a sad story. :(

Shades available in 3 shades-Black,Brown & Green.

What it Claims - Achieve extreme color precision with this advanced ink liner. Its fine applicator delivers exact colour which dries in seconds. Plus its refreshing formulation doesn't smudge or fade.

Price - INR 359/- for 16ml. 

Ingredients - AQUA, ACRYLATES COPOLYMER, BUTYLENE GLYCOL, SODIUM LIGNOSULFONATE, SODIUM LAURETH-11 CARBOXYLATE, DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCERIN, PROPYLENE GLYCOL, PHENOXYETHANOL, ALCOHOL, POLYSORBATE 80, POTASSIUM SORBATE, SODIUM LAURETH-12 SULFATE, METHYLPARABEN, ETHYLPARABEN, PROPYLPARABEN, EDTA, CI 77266

Black & Brown Stylo

Color - The color is same as it seen on the packaging. Black stylo is jet black in color and Brown stylo is brown in color.

The tip of the eyeliner stylo -

Single swatch of black & brown eyeliner stylo -

After rubbing vigorously -
I used it on hand but when I use it on my upper and lower lash line it has different effect. It fades easily if I rub my eyes and washed off with water completely.

Pros -

• Easy application. It's felt tip helps you draw fine thin and thick lines.
• Smudge-proof.
• Dries quickly.
• Pigmented color.
• Tip is rigid like eyeliner pencil but color comes in liquid.
• Stays for 4-5 hours.
• Does not irritate eyes.
• Good for beginners.
• Shelf life of 4-5 years.
• Oriflame doesn't test on animals.

Cons -

• Can't be used on water line.
• It's not water-proof.
• Limited shades.
• Expensive.
• Can be fade off after rubbing.

Rating - 3.5 / 5

I would not recommend it if you have habit of rubbing your eyes and if you have better options available.
But do try it if it comes in great discounted price.

Wedding Season - Tips

Bounjour Ladies!
The season of wedding has started and for those who are getting married is getting a bit nervous for their day.So here are a few tips for this wedding season for brides or girls who wants to look best at function.

Blouse Designs

Hello Big Girls!
Today I was maintaining wardrobe and arranging all my clothes in a decent way. Suddenly a thought comes in my mind after seeing my saree's blouse design, a thought to share these designs with you guys.
I do not wear sarees as much as I wear jeans-top or suit. All these blouse designs were specially stitched for my wedding.
So here are few of them --


My golden blouse with pink saree. You can see my pink saree on upper right corner.

This is my bronze-golden blouse with backless design.

This is my purple blouse. I don't know why this picture comes so different in my camera.

This is wine colored blouse.

A closer view of same blouse -

Looks simple but the design in blue is made by tailor on my request. :)

The design of this pink-blue blouse is very simple but believe me this design looks very sexy. ;)

Just wanna share pictures of my new saree with you butterflies. :)

Which one do you like the most?

Mehndi Tattoos

Hello Beauties!!

Today my brother forced me to make these tattoos on his hand. I was feeling better so made these tattoos on his both hands. A Dragon tattoo and Love written in Chinese. I used red mehndi which fades off completely in 10 days and gives dark red color in one or half an hour.

Color after removing mehndi --

Have you tried mehndi tattoo? What design you would like to have as mehndi tattoo?

Makeup Tips For Your Nose Shape

Hello Beauties! 
Sorry for posting after so many days and I think I'll take few more days to recover from my accident. :(
Today I'm gonna tell you great useful makeup tips according to your nose shape. If you find your nose shape too long or too short, too broad or too skinny then don't feel disappoint because there are number of women just like you who feel unhappy about their nose. 
Nose contouring is a magical makeup trick to disguise your nose using highlighting and contouring techniques. If you're an Indian then you must have seen nose contouring trick in serial like Uttaran (Channel : Colors).

Broad Nose - Slim down a broad nose with a foundation that is one shade darker than your natural skintone. Sweep along the sides of the nose with a small, firm makeup brush. Start just below the inner corners of the eyebrows, and end at the sides of the nostrils.
Stroke a lighter shade of foundation down the bridge of the nose. Blend well.

Long Nose - Apply a foundation or concealer that is a few shades darker than your natural skintone onto the tip, between and around the nostrils.

Short Nose - Using a darker shade of foundation or a bronzer along the sides of nose. Apply the bronzer from the tip of your nose to the groove between your eyebrows. Contouring the nose from the Centre will really help to give the impression of an elongated nose.

Flat Nose - Apply highlight down the center of the nose, avoiding the sides. Smooth and blend down the center.

Long Nose -  Apply a foundation or concealer that is a few shades darker than your natural skintone onto the tip, between and around the nostrils.

Still feel unhappy with the way your nose looks simply draw attention away from your nose by making your eyes look gorgeous. In this way everyone will notice your eyes. :)
