Priyanka Chopra's Oscar Look in 5 Simple Steps

Move away Kim Kardashian we have our very own Priyanka Chopra aka PC breaking the internet. Thankfully for  the Oscars PC dint try to make a big deal and go the desi way. She very much kept the international feel and was bang on with the current trends from head to toe.  A quick break down about her look:

Hair:
This Oscars saw absolutely no fuss hairstyles, nothing over the top; infact hairstyles which the girl next door can wear. Even Lady Gaga surprised us with no meat and no crazy headgear :-P
PC stuck to a low neck ponytail which also allowed one to notice the simple earrings.

Makeup:
Her makeup saw some refreshing trends like the Matte skin which I absolutely love, no evident eyeliner and a nude kohl applied to the waterline. The eye makeup was an absolute no fuss look too that complimented the hair and let the dress do all the talking.

To achieve this look:
1) Prime your skin

2) Use a Concealer followed by a Matte foundation and set with a powder. As an Option you could  use a light hand of a matte bronzer on the outer part of the cheeks and temples.

3) For the eyes smudge a black kohl as close to the lash line and the outer corners of the eye. Use a brown matte eye shadow on the outer corner of the eye and blend it into the crease. Apply a nude gold eye shadow that compliments your skin tone on the rest of the eyelid. As usual dont forget to grrom your brows.

4) Apply a nude kohl pencil on the waterline and coat the lashes with lots of mascara

5) Line the lips and fill them with a burgundy lip pencil and top it up with a matte burgundy or rust shade of lipstick.

Have fun creating the look and love yourself because the best compliment is there is nobody like you...Muahhh!!!

Are you one of those who sees some lovely makeup and just needs to have it in  your collection? Inch pinch:) I know some of you may just find a dark lipstick in your stash which you have never worn in that if you dig a little. what has stopped you from wearing it so far, is it because you don't want to look like you trying to still use the lipstick you bought for Halloween or just that you not sure how to wear it. Whatever the reason here are a few points and a video that will help carry of a dark lipstick to look like a Diva!

Some points to keep in mind while wearing a dark lip:

1) Use a lip scrub to get rid of dead skin. Forget a dark lipstick, nothing ever looks good on dead skin.

2) Use a lip balm as the first step when you start your makeup so that by the time you done with your makeup and its time to wear your beautiful dark lipstick your lips are well conditioned.

3) DO NOT wear heavy eye makeup, unless its a Halloween look.

4) Avoid wearing a gloss on the entire lip.

Here are some pics  for you guys followed by the video. Comment and let me know whats your favorite dark lipstick...red/ wine/ brown

OOTD: Makeup for a Red Dress

Always pick out the Red dress from your wardrobe and wonder what makeup will go with it? I have a lot of my friends who go through the same makeup dilemma. Also I know a lot of you would like to flaunt a beautiful red lip with your red dress but not want to look like Red Riding hood. So here is a video that I have done with a very easy eye makeup tutorial and a beautiful red lip to compliment this look. 

Here are some pics and roll down to the bottom to watch the video.

An easy makeup look using the Wet & Wild Comfort Zone palette

I remember not knowing much about the Wet & Wild brand about 10 years ago and someone giving my sister a red Wet & Wild lipstick. She never used it and slowly it became part of my very tiny makeup collection. I remember liking the lipstick but not wanting to show it to anybody because of its cheap looking packaging.

Come to the present, thankfully the brand has rectified that and has also worked considerably on the formulation of its products. The Wet & Wild eyeshadow palettes have caught everyones attention be it the single eyeshadows (brulee being a a big hit) or the trio (silent treatment & walking on eggshells being the bestsellers) or even the 8 eyeshadows in one palette (comfort zone being the one I chose to pick up). I chose this palette for the simple reason that it had quite a few unique colors and the other big reason being I wanted the dupe for MAC's club because I absolutely love the shade but wasn't sure about how often I could use it.

Do I need to say how much I love this palette after so many reviews on the internet? Did you say actions speak louder than words? Then here you go : Lights, Camera, Action...

List of products used to complete the look:

Ben eye creme stick foundation in SFB-636

Kryolan concealer in 626B

Rimmel powder in 010 Warm Honey

Ben Eye Banana Luxury Powder for under the eyes

Bare Minerals Bronzer in Warmth

Coastal Scents 78 eyeshadow & blush combo palette for Blush

Maybelline Colorsensational Lipstick in Caramel Creme

Faces Eye pencil in Solid Black

Maybelline Colossal mascara

Lancome Le Crayon Khol in Raisin Noir as eyebrow pencil

 

Hope you re-create this look:)

Purple & Coral Smokey eye for the Day

Yes I am back to experimenting new looks with my new vanity case. The real reason behind one eye being completely done at the beginning if the tutorial  was because I was trying this look and loved it so much and dint want to miss sharing it with you all so started recording while I was completing the look with the other eye. Love you guys for all your support that makes me want to share more looks with all of you <3

This look was inspired mainly by my new Bharat and Dorris eyeshadow in M11. This shade has been OOS at my B&D store for a very long time. Me and my friend have been experimenting with a lot of their products and have not been disappointed so far. Review did I hear? Let me know.

I am sharing with you a few pictures for you to enjoy; however if you want to create this look check out my Youtube video I have shared right at the end of this post.

 

 Let me know if you would like to see any other looks or you can also catch up with me on twitter/ facebook/ instagram. Talk to you soon:)

Kareena Kapoor Marie Claire June 2013 cover inspired look

I wish I could ask you to raise your hand if you like Kareena Kapoor's looks everytime she is ready for the cameras coz all I would do is give you a hi 5!

Both the Kapoor sisters have very different personal styles with Karisma being the sophisticated one while Kareena being a bit more fun and suprising. 

I recently received the book by Kareena called Bollywood Diva on my bday and was so excited (tho I may not wana blatantly admit). Let me know if you want me to do a book review on the same as a separate post.

Coming back to the Marie Claire cover I must mention one very important thing while I look  at the pic of a famous celebrity and replicate the look, it is strictly 'INSPIRED'. I am no way as close to Kareena's fair n clear complexion; for reference I am an NC 42, so now you get the picture:) Obviously a color that stands out on Kareena may just blend into my skin color. 

Keeping the same thought in mind I have created this video for you guys. Do let me know if you liked it; you could also send me a reference picture on my facebook page if you would like me to create any other video/post for you beautiful divas out there.

Here is some of the click click work I did..

Makeover Series- 1

So what do you land up doing when your friend owns all this beautiful makeup and has a face just as pretty as her heart? At least for me I cherish this friend and go ahead and give her a little beauty session filled with a lot of beauty tips and tricks.

My friend Aparna, has both the naked palettes (yes.. to all those who envy her..haha) and was stuck with what she could do with these. Seriously, stuck with what you COULD do with these??? You can do a Zillion things and that's exactly what I went to show her. I did her makeup from start to finish and am here to share it with you.

If any of you are interested in a makeup session please do feel free to contact me on diptidiva1@gmail.com. For those outside of Mumbai city, online personal sessions can be conducted.

So here we go Princess Diaries style:)

Before & After

Easy Everyday Smokey Eyes

Actually the thot behind doing this tutorial was to do super easy looks since I have so many friends around me who think  applying 3 eyeshadows in the morning with doing the rest of the face is way too much. They all want to know how to look all ready in a matter of a few minutes. So for all those friends and readers you can totally skip the bronzer I applied in the crease and browbone highlighter.

While doing this look I realised 3 things:

i) I want to try out a couple of other 1 eyeshadow makeup tutorials

ii) I should have used my Clinique Chocolate chip eyeshadow that I hardly use

iii) This look can be created with a lot of other dark colors too as long as you blend well.

So I do hope that some of you try out this look and send me an image; as I am looking out to having some interesting conversations with some fun loving, make up crazy gals like me. 

Keep in touch with me on Twitter, Facebook, Youtube.

Purple and Gold Glitter Makeup 

Malaika Arora at the Marrakech Film Festival

 Our Munni knows how to glam up the Red Carpet wherever she goes and her presence at The Marrakech Film Festival was no less. I wonder which other item girl of her stature would dare to carry the same avatar off screen and on an International platform like this; but trust Malaika Arora to do it gracefully. The beautiful nude and green lehenga is a Manish Malhotra Creation.

To re-create this look:
1. Apply your a primer followed by your foundation
2. For the eyes: Fill in your eyebrows. Prime the eyes and follow with a orange brown color like Mac's texture on the eyelids. Follow with a frost champagne eyeshadow in the inner corners of the eyes. Taking a dark green eyeshadow that matches her blouse color use it in the outer V of the eye. Use a cork shade to blend in the crease ending with a velvet finish champagne color on the brow bone. For the lowerlash line use the orange brown shade used for the lids in the centre and the green eyeshadow on the outer edge and smudge with the pencil brush the without losing the champagne color in the inner corner of the eyes. Line the tight line and waterline with a kohl pencil and  apply 2 coats of mascara.
3. Using an under eye concealer complete your base make up.
4. Contour you face. To see how you can highlight and contour your face Click Here
5. Apply a pinkish coral blush like NYX's Summer Peach followed by a highlighter.
6. For the lips apply your favorite pinkish coral lip shade and now you are all ready to rock the Red Carpet.

Have Fun!
