Welcome back to yet another episode of Meet The Bloggers :) By the time you guys start reading this I shall be on my way to Bangalore, literally! The moment this post goes on air, I shall be in air too but worry not, the moment I am on land I shall again be connected with you guys :)
Today on ISLM, I am featuring Sukanya of A Few Unnecessary Things. We recently became close friends when she would ping me on g-talk and we would chat about things as mundane as "sucky" internet connection to technical issues in blogger :P But what I really like about her (apart from her luscious mane of hair) is her straight forwardness and her ability to talk to you as if you were her best friend :) Its so endearing that you cannot but help yourself from liking her instantly...
Come lets get to know her a bit more :)

Now Some Deep Questions :)
What mistake do you notice people most often make in make-up: In an Attempt to be fair they put on lods of foundation and powders,not to mention in a shade which is way lighter.
Top 5 Make-up Myths according to you:
- Going for lighter shade of foundation/compacts would make you look fair( u look like ghost actually)
- Brown n Pinks flatter of Indian skin tones ( They make you look old n made up respectively)
- You need not to wear sunscreen when at home( r u freakin kiddin me? )
- Makeup can cover up my horrible skin n turn me into some exotic creature ! (ahem! n turn you into some ghastly creature)
- Girls more into skin care n beauty are of Zero merit (*grins* )
Top 5 tricks or tips you have learn't over the time:
- Use n eye shadow base always.The color literally pops up n stays longer
- Avoid brown in your lips..they make you look 20yrs older,Try shades of coral instead,they look better
- Setting the kohl with some translucent powder prevents it from smudging
- Always remove your makeup when you come back from home.ALWAYS
- Every skin tone n type is different. A lipstick may be a rage among all,but it may not actually suit you! (Maybelline my mahogany n colorbar bare didn't look good on me at all)
A Make-Up Must Have that every Indian Beauty must have in his/her vanity/purse:
- Facial wipes,
- lip balm,
- kohl/kajal
