I love this
time of the year! City wrapped up in lights and sky full of fireworks <3
It’s like so
many festivals are lined up together and generates excitement with the arrival of each. You meet people whom you have not seen in ages! Besides, who doesn’t like
munching salted dry fruits? :D Keeping that little talk aside, let’s jump
onto makeup tips & tricks essential for Diwali!
· Let your base be stronger: Every grand monument stands straight
with a good devotion of time upon the base. Same goes for a festive makeup
look. On usual days I love it when slight imperfection peeps through the
makeup. High coverage is what I avoid. But celebrations do call upon
perfection! If concealers aren’t your thing, just dab a little foundation over
marks or acne and smooth it out with a finger. Brush or sponge would move away
the product hence finger suggested. Don’t reach out for an extra pale
foundation. Some pictures might be clicked with flash on and you don’t wanna
rock a ghastly look, until that’s what you’re going for! Early Halloween :’D Also,
ditch any makeup base that has SPF. It
ends up providing a white cast.
· Bronze/Contour: Foundation makes the face appear flat and that does highlight the largeness of the face, if you have a square shaped face, like
mine. You don’t really need additional products for it. Try looking for an
eyeshadow that goes well on your face for adding in some dimension, without
making it appear muddy. For contouring, you can use any soft cream brown
lipstick. I use Maybelline’s Color Show ‘Mysterious
Mocha’ and then set it with Maybelline’s
The N*des Palette taupe brown eyeshadow as a bronzer.
· Highlight: If you’ve newly been bitten by the
bug of highlight, then all you gotta do is use our shimmery pearly eyeshadows
wisely! In case you have one of those gorgeous olive skin tone, you can go
ahead with some shimmery eyeshadow with mute golden colour.
· Eyebrows: Filled in eyebrows really make a
huge difference. Mine are always kept slightly thick so they need extra
grooming or else the hair strands would fight using all their will, swaying
in every possible direction. You can to an extent alter your eyebrows shape and work upon
those things that your threading or plucking fails to achieve! I like to draw
my arch a little higher. *Wink*
· Eyeshadow: Some eyeshadows, especially glittery
ones, fail to provide a lot of colour intensity when used on eyelids. Within the
packaging they might look all good but on application they give only little
pigmentation. That’s when the wrestler gets in the ring! Use your damp fingers,
swirl it in and then pack the eyeshadow onto the lids. Also, use concealer
beneath for neutralizing darkness around the eyes. This would help the
eyeshadow colour to pop up.
· Lip Colour: Make your lipsticks last long by
setting them with powder. If you want to tone down the intensity of a lipstick
then apply the powder directly onto the lips. But otherwise, you can use a
tissue, place it onto the lips and then tap it off with some powder. Lipstick
Sealer aren’t easily available in India, that too at an affordable price so
baby powder does it’s trick and you’re good to go! *Wink*
· Patches post makeup: In case the brush’s friction against
the cheek while makeup application leaves off your face slightly patchy, spray
in the end some thermal spring water and it’s gonna set everything up, giving a
fine layer of hydration but without oiliness. If you don’t have that, Gulabjal of any brand will do!
And that’s
it for today! Enjoy your Diwali (:
Love
XOXO
