1950's everyday pinup

Good morning my red velvettes ,

Today we have a fun tutorial.Since halloween is around the corner I'm buzzing with ideas. We have planned some easy to do and super crazy tutorials for makeup and costumes that you'll find easily at home. Today we try and recreate 1950's inspired LOTD, which is pretty wearable look  I'd say!

Also I've shot in my night dress and it is kinda embarrassing but changing would ruin  my hair hence I decided against it hence the  shameless posing in my night dress.

Now the tutorial I've tried it to put it specifically step wise. Additionally I have shown how to contour my face but before we move on to that I’d take a minute as to what Halloween is and why do we celebrate. Well India doesn’t really but all my peeps I think we definitely must have a house party atleast!

Halloween basically a contraction of "All Hallows' Evening"), also known as All Hallows' Eve,^[ is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows (or All Saints) and the day initiating the triduum of Hallowmas, the time in the liturgical year dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows), martyrs, and all the faithful departed believers.

Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (also known as "guising"), attending costume parties, decorating, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.

 Moving on to the tutorial, the steps are to prime , add colours and blend blend blend :D I’ve used coastal scents palette for this look, the camouflage concealer palette for contouring and reshaping my face.

(Dotted my face with my BB cream from Kiehl’s in the medium shade)

(Prime my eyes using FACES mettaliglow)

EXPLICIT WARNING: The next picture might make you cringe for coming here but trust me the contour face is worth it :D. Also I've done my eyebrows extremely pointy and arched for this look.

For the hair we used a ½ inch barrel curling rod and pinned each curl before it cools down to the tip. Do not open the curl or they shall fall out. I have like baby fine hair and no volume so Sanky used Volume booster from Label M. And NOVA hairspray to hold my hair in place along with back combing. You can chose to curl you entire hair, but we decide against it as  we wanted an everyday look hence the pouf in front and curled the ends outward to achieve the look.

You cannot finish the look without a mole,I naturally have moles but not at the right places sadly! So we went ahead and made a fake one :D For the costume you can go anywhere from empire line midis to tough denim on denim looks. Don’t forget to tie the kerchief around your neck to complete your transition.

Girls do not be afraid to stand out, nobody is going to judge you and we are all in holiday spirit. I suggest you go all out and doll up the sexy nurse, the satan,a pirate or even our cliché Bollywood heroines. There’s an ocean of characters to be inspired from!

Also if you don't like to wear your hair open well just wear it

with a bow. Don’t believe me take a look at the pictures,it doesn't really look that bad how we imagined it!

In the end  it’s all about having fun, I’ll see you soon in my nest post with another tutorial :D fyi Halloween is celebrated on 31^st October get you pumpkins carving.

Happy Holidays and Stay Chic,

XoXo

Unlikely Barbie LOTD (PINK for October)

Hello my mushies,I’m absolutely ecstatic on receiving my Coastal Scents Combo today  :D And I’ve done innumerable tutorials in my head. A big  grizzly bear hug to Akie I cudn’t have had a better gift I swear. I’ll be basking in  the glory of this coveted palette for months to come now.

Okay I shall shutup with the blabbering and come to my Pink unlikely-barbie Pink EOTD now .

This is an absolutely simple and should be a very wearable look to any of those soirées if you ‘re getting too for Breast Cancer Awareness’ know I’m going to c’mon ladies the least we can do is incorporate Pink into our wardrobe somewhere? I’m not a pink person really so you should be able to relate to the LOTD here J

Step 1:Prime your eyes.I’m already wearing my BB stick on my entire face.

Step 2:I’m using this Tangy and fierce as a base that’ll hold on the colour better and show up. 

Step 3:I sweep the lightest colour from the Clinique palette all over my lid..

Step 4:Defining my crease .If you do not know where exactly to put your crease colour look  upwards keeping your open and firmly mark with your choice of creamy brown eye pencil.( I know this can be a bit awkward face, but you’ll know where exactly does your crease colour will  show up).

Step 5:I use the next mauve-plum colour all over my crease and blend away. Next you want a small fluffy blending brush and get to work.

Step 6:Here comes our star colour I use this bright pop of pink on my lashline and highlight my inner corner with a pearl gold. Also I go back and conceal under my eyes. I save it for the last because of the falllouts.

Step7:You want to tightline your eyes next and 3/4^th on your lower waterline.

Step 8:Get creative with your liner, this is totally upto you.I’m into slanted eye liner these days which finish half way through my lids. Makes your eyes look bigger trust me.Add oodles of Mascara. And you are ready to go PINK girl.

 This is totally optional but I don’t want to leave the house without blush these days, So I used Pink blush From Pro on the apples of my cheek and contoured with the ESSENCE matte bronzer for brunettes.

If you are a lip person try something different from your everyday pink. Now we all love Hooked on Pink by Maybelline but how about adding an undertone to it so I used  lip refill no 19 from the freedom palette and stained my lips. Used the lipstick directly from the bullet  and Voila your luscious lip are ready!

Here’s how it looks on me J

I’m getting back to swatching my palettes.*So excited *See you soon in my next post.Stay Chic.

That one night !

Good evening my French fries! Errr ok no lovelies, All I can think of is food right now.

Navratri has begun and so has the 9 days of fasting .God and everything seems to be soo tempting around. Coming back to the post I'm taking out one of those unkempt secrets from the closet that has been sitting prettily for too long.

Yes it happened during midnight, both of us summoning to the silence in the air. Finally we had to succumb to the temptation. No am not making love here but yes the dress up that I still play (in my hostel room )only better with live version of Playdolls!

This post was long due like a year back so I've got a number of flaws that I can point but I'm sure you guys will give me this pass today(like you've an option).I haven't got much to write about this LOTD.

We started off as frenemies,I thought I 'd to beg her to shoot with me but as luck would have it I did not have to do any such thing, which btw ended up coming this long. Today we're this long lost soul sisters that are connected (somehow we end up getting in the same crap simultaneously, trust me)!

Originally This was supposed to be an interpretation of the movie "Midnight in Paris" but only ended up being "How I would do  the French Riviera KISS"  :D

We have basically got 2 outfit changes here with number of accessories to be played with. The makeup has been kept very neutral with feline liner ,luscious lips and dewy cheeks.(She is the only reason that I wear blushes today).
The room however is a hot  mess hence you'll know when you take a look at the editing of the pictures. And I really hope you guys like the  post, more like fun throwback !Just browse through the pictures,you can go back and positively criticise ,you know :P

*Don't judge me ,I've got better I swear*

Here comes my pretty lady well partially behind the straw hat!

See how a few accessories here and there can make a difference.Incase you haven't noticed I was making a point here Accessories and Nude Pumps are a must have in every girl's wardrobe(Okay! No I just made that up) but you'll agree how important role they play. And I cannot emphasise any more on how important and a closet must have, these nude pumps are.
Like red lipsticks one needs to find their own match of nude here too but its worth adding a few inches to your frame and making your legs slimmer .Ehh,No?

I shall you seen in my next post maybe have some more throwback Saturdays!

Stay chic

XOXO
