How I Do It?

So I just got a question from Anonymous,
asking how I do my make-up.
I'm quite surprised actually,
because I ain't exactly the most skilled person in this field..

But I'll see what I can do!
Here goes!

I just use BB cream for my foundation,
over that I use the 
Guerlain Meteorites Perles in 02 Tient Beige


Guerlain is made in France and the mix of colours really brings out your features!
As you can see,
the packaging is also very attractive.
 (So is the price!)
But since mom got it for me, I had no complains ;)


Okay,
now with the lips.

Personally, I really like the lipgloss for my everyday college look.

For this I use 
The Body Shop: Hi-Shine Lip Treatment in Coral Spice

I love this shade because it gives my lips a really nice pink.
I don't like going for the transparent ones because my lips aren't naturally rosy,
In fact, I think they're quite pale.

Lately, I've also purchased the Honey Bronze.

This one comes with a more nude tone :)

I buy my lipgloss from The Body Shop because:
1) It's available here in India (Thank God)
2) It's very much affordable.
3) Their lipgloss has a really nice fragrance!
It's like wearing lip perfume.


The only downside 'bout Body Shop is that not every shade is pretty. But luckily for me, I found what works best on me :)

However,
if I were to go out on a date, a girly day out, or even a fancy  dinner,
I'd opt for my MAC lipstick.

I absolutely love MAC's collection.
Particularly, the bubblegum pink ones.
But because I'm rather tan, that kind of pink makes me look quite awkward.
So I have my lipsticks in brighter pinks.
Actually, I'm thinking of investing on a bright red one ;)

Coming to my eyeliner,
I'm now using
  Lancome Le Crayon Khol
It's quite costly, but when it comes to eye products, I'm quite the fussy pot.
You gotta make sure you use good ones so that you don't ruin your eyes :)
Lancome has good eyeliners,
it goes on smoothly and for me, I love it really dark, and Lancome does just that!
I only use this one on my lower lash line,
smudging it as I go giving me the bigger-eyes effect :D

I also love winged eyeliners for the top..
So for that I use 
Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner in Black

However, I don't usually do this look much because it gives me a very piercing, edgy and bold look.
& I'm more inclined to the softer look!

Paired with my winged liner,
I might sometimes use 
Maybelline Eyestudio Vivid & Smooth Colour Liners

Absolutely love these because they come in all the prettiest shades to match my outfit!
(Very affordable too)
I use the white eyeliner on my lower waterline to open up my eyes.
Yes, I do emphasize alot on my eyes.

I was told that brown eyeliners are more natural,
so now I'm on a quest for a good one!

You're probably wondering what mascara I use..
I have naturally long eyelashes and I do like to give it volume.
But I really don't like the conventional ones because they somehow make your lashes all clumpy.
So lately, I've been using
The Body Shop: Brow and Lash Gel in Clear

Yes!
This mascara is totally transparent and yes, it does lengthen my eyelashes nicely without any clumps!
I was so thrilled when I found this!
You can also use this to give more shape to your eyebrows,
which is a great plus point for me!

And my absolute favourite
Naked 2 by Urban Decay!

I only use this on special occasions though,
because it has costed me more than a bomb.
Got this from Sephora some time ago,
and it gives the natural, nude look..
which I totally love.

And I think that's about it!
These are pretty much the products I use.
But nonetheless, I think it's achieved the looks I wanted.
I'm still trying on new looks like the Red lipstick and also, maybe falsies!
I don't believe in inches of make up,
just a touch of it to make you stand out is what I aim for.
and most importantly,
what's inside that makes you beautiful :)

Time to go shopping at Sephora!
