Daily Makeup Tips
Daily makeup tips and hacks for you that will make you look glowy, shiny, elegant and rich. I am a professional photographer which gives me the privilege to work with many makeup artists. I am no expert in makeup and this blog is based on the observation I have done over the years working in the fashion field. These are the hacks I use when I do my own makeup for parties and meetings. I prefer simple make-up with elegant touch. For me, less is more. So if this sounds like you, keep reading.
What not to do: I am not going to tell you what to do, but let’s talk about what doesn’t look good. The Red and black combination is way out of fashion now and doesn’t look classy and elegant either. For example, if you are wearing black smoky eyes then do not go for bright red lips or any dark shade of lipstick. It doesn’t look decent. Heavy eye makeup always goes best with neutral lips.
I would not recommend choosing red lipstick with a black dress either (It’s a personal preference) but still if you want red lips then, go for neutral eye makeup. I have seen many girls wearing smoky eye makeup with bright red lipstick that gives them a vampish look, that no elegant woman would wanna be associated with.
Oh mon Dieu a visible lip liner is cheap. It’s an old fashion, no idea why it was there at the first place. I never liked it even when it was in trend, it cheapens your appearance. If you have a very thin upper lip just like me, so use lip liners to give the lip a shape but smudging it with the same colour lipstick is a must. Now let’s dive into the skin type.
Skin Type: I won’t lie, I am blessed with good skin. Even when I hit puberty I never got pimples and still don’t face that problem. But because of being in sports the skin was quite tanned. Let me talk about what helped me remove it. Aloe Vera, Multani mitti, Sun screen, Ubtan, Malai etc. all home made skin care tricks. You were expecting some expensive skin care products, didn’t you? Read my blog “Homemade skin care for glowing skin.”
The products and the process: Now let’s talk about cosmetics, which is not much either. One of my makeup artist friends Anusha Shetty suggested to me an extremely hydrating moisturiser which is a great replacement for primer and many models and celebrities are using it. The name is Emolene. It moisturises the skin so good that my foundation melts into my skin.
After using Emolene I use Studiowest concealer and foundation. It’s a TATA brand that is not very famous but has great products with reasonable prices. I have been using it for a long time now. These days I am using Nykaa foundation that gives me a very natural look and matches my skin tone the best. Again suggested by my magician makeup artist friend Anusha.
Never ever change your skin complexion through makeup unless your job requires it. It screams low self esteem. A compact powder is an important part of makeup. It settles all the layers of makeup and helps it to last longer. I did not use the compact powder in this look though, but I generally use StudioWest compact powder.
After making the skin tone even, now comes the artist part. I am in love with the SUGAR Contour De Force Face Palette. It has a highlighter, a contour and a blush. such a perfect combo for light and natural makeup. If you are also a fan of bright lipstick like I am then you wanna go easy on the eyes. Maybelline mascara works really well for small lashes, gives it a nice volume. If you already have big eyelashes then using the Aloe Vera on your lashes works just fine. It can give curled up eye lashes barbie doll soft look.
Your personality, body language and confidence change after you look better than yesterday. I am slowly trying to learn the art of makeup more and buying different products to experiment with. Will come back with more tips in future. So far, this is what is been working for me, that makes me look elevated and elegant. I hope this helped you too. See you later.

“Absolutely love these makeup tips! For flawless makeup application, start with a clean, moisturized face as your canvas. Then, don’t forget the primer – it’s like the magic potion that smooths out your skin and helps makeup last longer. When it comes to foundation, less is more; blend it outwards from the center of your face for a natural finish. And for those dreamy eyes, always curl your lashes before applying mascara – it makes such a difference! Lastly, embrace your unique features and have fun experimenting with different looks. Confidence is the best makeup you can wear!
Makeup is a powerful form of self-expression that allows individuals to enhance their features, experiment with their appearance, and boost their confidence. It can be an art form, a daily ritual, or a fun hobby, providing endless opportunities for creativity. Whether used for special occasions or everyday wear, makeup can transform not only the way we look but also the way we feel about ourselves.
For hooded eyes, it’s important to blend dark eyeshadow shades into the crease and use lighter colors on the lid to define the eyes. A winged eyeliner can be applied with a slight lift on the upper line to make the eyes appear more open and lifted. Avoid shimmer eyeshadows, as matte shades help define hooded eyes better. Curling your lashes is essential to make the eyes look more open and wide. Applying a nude or white pencil on the lower waterline also helps make the eyes look more awake and larger.
