Learning to love life. Dynamic. Happy. Blessed. And oh i love to look gorgeous. It just has to do with my personality. I do not like crowds, i love Wanderlust. The Universe, basically, belongs to me.

Get the Look

There is something intriguing about being Nude. In body, in soul or even in Skin.

Earlier a non makeup look, was just it. No makeup. Today, no makeup? erm, makes most woman squirm in their seats. How about if i tell you, you can achieve a clean fresh, no makeup look, while still hiding your flaws, and have everyone wondering how you look like a green goddess with just mascara and a dim lip cream. Well, i am telling you just this! Read on...

To attain this look follow the below steps:
1) Cleanse your skin of any traces of makeup or dirt with the Garnier Miceller water, said to remove even the tiniest traces in a natural soothing way.
2) Dry your skin with pats of a clean face towel.

Step 1 - Take the Olay BB cream ( new in the market in some places) in your exact skin color and dab onto the facial skin & neck. In circular motion blend it into the skin, This not only covers flaws, but also acts as a quencher for thirsty skin, and a moisturizer.

Step 2 - Take any face powder in your own shade and using a Big round face brush dab it onto the skin, blending as you go.

Step 3 - On the inside of the waterline of the eyes, use any famous Kohl ( also known as Kajal). I use Color bar cosmetics, jet black, but i do know that Maybelline has a fascinating one too!

Step 4 - Sweep a concealer on the undereyes and blend it in with your fingertips.

Step 5 - Use a Pinkish-Highlighter ( i use Sun beam from Benefit Cosmetics or like Anastasia Beverly Hills ) along the cheeks right until the edge of the ear in an upward motion, This specifically highlights the Sun-touch points of the face.

Step 6: Draw powder into your eyebrows to accentuate the shape well. I use the Perfect Brows tool kit by YSL. Its simple, and merges beautifully. And trust me, eyebrows are the most IMPORTANT part! Makes all the difference.

Step 7: Use a beautiful mascara that gives very little volume, so it basically gives a look of beautiful eyelashes, separated, rather than a full Mascarized look. For this i use Hypnose by Lancome, single quick drift through the eyelashes. No double/triple coats!

Step 8: And finally your most beautiful, exciting facial part, the lips. With such a calm, even toned, and natural look, a red or a deep pink would kill the feeling of no makeup. So for this YSL - (Yves Saint Laurent) - Lip and Cheek cream - Babydoll. This is a very fascinating pink, which gives an effect as if youre born with perfect pink rosy lips. Throw on a bit of this cream on the apples of the cheeks to complete the look.

VOILA! Only you know what you have done, others think you are born even more gorgeous than you truly are!
