Easy Cocktail Makeup

Get Cocktail ready for your friend's party with this step-by-step video where I take you through the entire before and after makeove! ^_^ For Roshni's look, I went for a subtle smokey eye using gold shimmer on her eyelids and finishes off with a bright orange-red pout! I hope you guys enjoy this tutorial and find it useful..  Comment below and let me know what you think! Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE to my channel, that will make my day!! :)

The lipstick I used on Roshni is from M.A.C called 'So Chaud'. It's such a stunning colour and looks great on Indian complexion since it has an orange undertone :)

How to curl your hair using a straightener

Okay, I have to admit.. I'm not very good with hair! :S This is the only technique I've learnt because when I studied in Manchester, all of my best friends were pros with hair and makeup! I watched them everyday, while they got ready for class, and wondered when and how I would ever be able to do the same! So I practiced and practiced, and finally I've managed to get it right! Haha :P

So this is my first hair tutorial where I take you through a step by step process on how to curl your hair using a straightener or flat iron. This is one of the easiest ways to get gorgeous curly, bouncy hair that stays on for long! If you're a beginner with hair, please turn off the straightener and practice this technique a couple of times to get a hang of it! Remember to use a heat protector spray before you begin to minimize hair damage.. Good luck! Hope you liked it.. Do comment below and tell me what you think!

Lots of love,

How to clean your makeup brushes!

Hiiii lovelies!!! 

Here is an informative video on how to clean your makeup brushes! It took me 2 days to edit this video to make it short and crisp (from a 40 minute footage to 9 mins) 

I'm soooooo thrilled to announce that I will be launching my line of brushes in a few months- Mesmereyes Makeup brushes which are 100% cruelty free! At the moment, I'm choosing 12 brushes as part of the kit, I'm yet to finalize on the design and colour! Soooo excited!!

Please tell me what you thought of the video, would love your feedback! Like the video and subscribe to my channel for easy peasy makeup tips!

How to Apply Bronzer

Think Summer, Think Bronzer! A great way to warm up your complexion and get a sexy glowy look in minutes!

Bronzers are arguably one of the quickest tricks to bring your face back to life! It works equally well even on discoloured  or dull skin, by adding a warm healthy glow! Remember to dab some pressed/loose powder on, before applying bronzers to prevent it from streaking!

With bronzers, it's so easy to go wrong! The 3 most common reasons:

1. Wrong Shade

2. Incorrect Placement of Bronzer

3. Not blending it out

I LOVE the Lakme Sun Kissed Bronzer because:

-Texture:  velvety and satiny (not shimmery/matte!)

-Vitamin E:  which is great because it softens, conditions and      protects your skin and makes every sweep a treat!! 

-Shade:  especially designed for Indian complexion, it's dual shade works as a "one bronzer fits all" concept!

-Blendable: blends away effortlessly without looking patchy 

- Multipurpose: It can be used on your face and body! (Arms, legs, neck etc) .. The best bit.... It works as an AMAZING EYESHADOW!! Especially as an everyday shade! *_*

I personally feel that there are not many bronzers in the Indian market which give an end result like this one! 

Definitely a must have in your makeup bag!!

The video will explain in detail the best ways to go about it! =)

Product Description:

1. Lakme Absolute Sun Kissed Bronzer- Rs. 600

2. Angular Brush- Oriflame (Set of 5) - Rs. 790

3. MAC 187 Brush- Rs. 2,550 ( I bought it as part of a limited edition set, hence the smaller packaging)

Please please try out this look and tell me what you think! If possible, share a few pics of your experience with bronzers!

Take careeee !
