MAKE-UP:
[Q] As a beauty expert, you come across a lot of different products. But if you had to list a few essentials, what would you choose as your must-have make-up products?
I like to multi-use products in different areas. Some of them are –
1. Illuminating cream/liquid highlighter. I like to mix it in my make-up to give more sheen and glow to the foundation, or even mix it to the moisturizer and also apply it on its own as a liquid highlighter.
2. Blush, especially cream blush that can be also used in multiple ways for lips and eyes.
3. Bronzer. I can’t without a bronzer! It gives contour and warmth to the face, and can also be used for eyes.
4. A brown pencil. It can create beautifully natural or smokey eyes, just with a soft pencil.
5. Mascara. I never leave the house without mascara!
[Q] What make-up hack do celebs do that regular women can take inspiration from?
When you have a puffy face, ice the face, and do a face massage before applying make-up. It reduces puffiness and activates blood circulation.
[Q] What would be the best regime to remove make-up and clean your face at the end of the day?
Everyone has their own way. Some like to take the make-up off with some make-up removers, some like to wash the face with a face wash, some like to use a make-up remover balm, and so on. My personal routine is to use a face wash because I like the feeling of washing the face instead of just wiping it. Post removing everything, make sure you use a toner to neutralize the PH level of the skin, and then applying a face serum to nourish the skin. Use a moisturizer, post the serum, for either day or night time.
[Q] Which is your favorite emerging make-up trend?
I like the fox eye trend of this year. I think it makes the eye shape really nice and sexy!
