Now Some Deep Questions :)
What mistake do you notice people most often make in make-up:
Wrong choice of Foundation, most of the time the face ends up looking ghostly white. Another aspect is improper co-ordination of make-up wrt outfit. Like Wearing Red lipstick with bright colors, Nude lips with dull colored outfits. Not keeping the make up in sync with the undertone of one's complexion and outfit.
Top 5 Make-up Myths according to you:
1. Drugstore brands are not that good. Actually, there are many which give excellent results and not everybody in India can afford luxury brands.
2. Everybody can carry all sort of colors. In fact, we need to understand our complexion and its undertones – warm, cool or neutral and then select the colors accordingly. The main idea is, we can wear all colors but have to think on the undertones.
Top 5 tricks or tips you have learn't over the time:
1. Tightlining the eyes, I learnt way back during my teens. I love it.
2. Juggling with lip liner so as to create different looks and make a color wearable if its not otherwise.
3. Always moisturizing and priming the face before applying foundation.
4. Always prime the eyelids before applying eyeshadow or eyeliner, the color pops really well.
5. A properly applied blush can make one look fresh and glamorous at the same time, never miss it !
A Make-Up Must Have that every Indian Beauty must have in his/her vanity/purse:
A compact powder, lipstick,facial tissues and hand sanitizer.
