Yesterday I wore a denim shirt paired with black leggings to train young Lakme Makeup Artists in Delhi! I wanted to apply minimal eye makeup so I came up with a cool combination for eyeliner- grey and blue! Since I had around 100 different Lakme products in my hotel room so I was experimenting with them..

Let me break it down for you:
1. Draw an eyeliner with a blue pencil
2. With an angular brush, wing out the liner slightly.
3. Spray some water on the brush and dip it into a grey shimmery eyeshadow
4. Dab it on the blue liner to create a gorgeous blue-grey eyeliner!
5. Repeat the same on your lower lash line and finish off with mascara :)
The products I used:
1. Lakme Forever Silk Eyeliner- Electric Violet (I have no idea why its not called Electric Blue!!)
2. Lakme Absolute Illusion Eyeshadow- Smoky Pearl (the grey shimmery eyeshadow)
I'm super duper excited to share this video with you guys!!! I've been wanting to shoot a Bridal Makeup video for the longest time! I haven't used an actual bride though, I asked my friend Radhika Patel if she could volunteer for it and she sweetly agreed.. Thank you Rads!! The focus on this video is MAKEUP, if I planned this shoot earlier, I would have definitely got my Hairstylist to give her a nice hairstyle and drape her lehenga.. but this was so last minute since I'm traveling on work for a month! Let me know what you think!! :D
So finally, you get to see the magic of airbrush makeup! It's just flawless and natural at the same time as it's mixed with air and sprayed on.. Nishita Solanki is a saviour for helping me shoot this video so patiently!! :* Thankssss!! The gorgeous Jewellery is from Anmol Palce ( Ispahani Centre) in Chennai.. they have beautiful sets (al different types from across India) there which you can buy or rent incase you want to wear it for your wedding! If you give my name, you will get a special rate! ;) Hehe! I hope to do other Bridal videos soon.. maybe once I'm back! Meanwhile, have an awesome day, be happy and keep smiling!! Lots of love, Akriti
I'm so in love with these exfoliating gloves from The Body Shop!! Been using them for over 2 years now, wish I bought them earlier! Ohh well, it's never too late! :D They are available in plenty of colors... I wanted PINK (as usual) but it was sold out so i picked up yellow!
How to use them: Take 3-4 drops of shower gel and scrub your entire body in circular motions. It gets rid of dead skin cells, dirt, impurities etc. and makes your skin super soft! If you have sensitive skin, please be gentle because this is pretty rough.. I recommend you use thee beauties 3-4 times a week because over exfoliation isn't good for you skin!! Oh and plsss don't use it for your face, it's wayyy too harsh!
Upon regular use, it keeps your skin healthy, tone and firm! Showering will not be the same without them, guaranteed!!
After your shower, apply a body lotion to soothe and nourish your skin! :)
