Blue Eyeliner

The quickest way to glam up during the day! ( I didn't intend to make it rhyme :P )



Move away from the typical black eyeliner and experiment with different colours to make your eyes stand out this summer!

So I applied the eyeliner using a blue eye pencil ... and then coated the liner (using an angular brush) with navy blue eyeshadow. If not, you can use a blue liquid liner or gel eyeliner directly on to your eyelids! Oh and I did put a teeeny bit of the blue eye pencil on my waterline!

Feel free to add a coat of mascara for an instant lift!! (I haven't got any mascara on :O I'm surprised myself haha! )

Product Description:

Oriflame Smooth Definer- Blue- Rs. 249
M.A.C Eyeshadow - Deep Truth- Rs. 950

Lakme Nine to Five Kohl Ultimate


If i were to summarize this product in one word, I'd say its FANTASTIC!  It’s jet black, long lasting (upto 8 hours), smudge proof and water resistant!!! It does what it claims to do, I was very impressed when I experimented with it! It’s made with moisturizing ceramides – which are moisturizers that actually replace the skin's natural oils ( I googled that haha! :p )

The packaging is pretty cool with a slanted rubber smudger on one end for a soft effect and a sharpener on the other end!  Remember, if you do want to achieve a soft, smudged effect, you have to do so immediately after applying it , as it dries up quickly! You can apply in on your waterline and on your upper lids as an eyliner.. 

It costs Rs.650/- and it’s worth every rupee because of the quality of the product!




Here’s a pic where I’ve compared it with a few other brands...


From L to R : MAC Engraved, MAC Graphblack, YSL, MAC Smolder, Chanel Noir Black, Lakme 9-5 Kohl Ultimate



After smudging it using my finertips! (I did wait 1 minute for it to settle)




Tadaaaaa! Lakme kohl Ultimate for the way!! <3 


This is one of the most precious products in my makeup kit and I highly recommend it!!

Fuschia-Pink and Purple Look!

Here's a look that I wore for a Sangeet.. With Indian outfits, I really like matching the eyeshadow to the to outfit and opting for bright lips ;)


For my eyes, I've used pigment eyeshadows in the inner and outer corners... (Be careful while using pigments, they flake all over the face!! P.s- To know how to use pigments, watch my video  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq4nCPUaN7k 


The colors look soft and subtle because I've blended and blended and blended....!! When you just apply some pigment onto your eyelids, the color will look BOLD , but don't worry, the blending brush is your secret weapon!! :P
