Even though I’d love to get all dolled-up, I am one of those few people who use bare minimal makeup on a daily basis. ‘What makes you Beautiful’ by One Direction is one of my favourite songs! I completely believe that natural beauty is something every girl possesses and you have to feel it from within, to look beautiful!
Don’t need make-up, To cover up, Being the way that you are is enough!
Lets take a look at my top 5 makeup essentials (only for those days when you actually NEED to wear it!)
Since my skin is very sensitive, I have to be very careful with what products I use and I completely swear by anything The Body Shop! Thanks to my pretty Mummy, I am blessed with almost clear skin – no acne, no pimples, no scars! But there are times when I use The Body Shop Face Powder to get an even skin tone and cover up the tan. Ever since I began to use an eyeliner I have used The Body Shop Liquid Eyeliner – it’s easy to use, does not spill and does not smudge (unless of course you rub your eyes!).
The Clinique Chubby Sticks moisturising lip tint are something I have recently been introduced to and I must say that it took me by surprise! I use their whole lotta honey for my lips and the super strawberry for my eyes when I’m going for a night-out! (Yes, my eyes!) The lip tint works wonders as a eye shadow and it also has a hint of shimmer.
The Rimmel soft kohl eye liner is my all-time-favourite kaajal pencil. It gives a very dense colour and enhances the eyes really well. Sadly, this product is not available in India so I tend to stock up every time I leave the country. I usually buy it from Boots in the UK.
Finally, for one of those extra special occasions, I like wearing the Lakme Absolute cheek chromatic baked blush. Team MissMalini‘s Fashion Blogger, Karen Alfonso, gifted me this blush when Lakme launched their Monochrome by Day collection. It has a very natural look when applied on the cheeks- just the perfect hint of pink!
