Rose Gold inspired Eye Makeup look

This eye makeup look is a Rose Gold inspired look.

I used warm neutral colours to create this look and paired it with a dramatic winged liner.

Since not everyone likes to wear false lashes i have not used any falsies here, I used my mascara to create the drama.

To create this look follow the steps mentioned below :

 Prep your eyes using an eyeshadow base or primer. In case of unavailability use a concealer.

      Take an eyeshadow that is near to your skin tone and apply it over your base to avoid creasing.

Take a light brown colour and apply it into your crease. This step will help blending of eyeshadows together.

Next for the crease i used bitten my MakeupGeek. You can use any maroon brown colour for this step.

Apply this colour all over your crease as shown in the image below.

Now take rose gold shade or any gold shade and apply it all over the lid.

Blend out the harsh lines.

Draw a winged liner.

Apply mascara.

And donot forget to highlight your brow bone.

If you like you can also highlight your inner corner of the eyes.

This look can be created on Indian Brides or pair it up with an Indian Outfit.

MAC Creme Cup Lipstick Review

A Light Blue Pink Lipstick with a Cremesheen finish is how MAC describes Creme Cup.

When applied on Lips it appears with high shine and glossiness on to the lips.

This has a cool undertone to it.

It applies on the lips smoothly and does stay through a time period of about 6 hours.

It will definitely compliment women with cool toned skin than of warm toned skin.

The pink colour isn't prominent.

It looks more like a white nude colour with hints of pink in it.

For a day time look go subtle with your eye makeup and wear this lipstick.

For a night time look this lip colour will best compliment a dramatic eye makeup.

MAC Angel Lipstick Review

A soft pink Lipstick with a Frost finish is how MAC describes Angel.

It has a Semi Glossy appearance.

The Frost isn't too prominent.

Since it has white undertone it doesn't look quite appealing on me as it is too pale for the indian skin tone.

It does stay well on the lips for a fairly long time.

Doesn't feel uncomfortable to wear.

Glides on smoothly.

Not everyone can pull this colour off.

The only time i would wear this Lipstick is if i have heavy eye makeup on.

MAC Velvet Teddy Lipstick Review

Velvet Teddy is a Deep - tone beige colour lipstick.

It has matte finish.

Though it has a matte finish this lipstick doesn't come off as too dry on the lips.

One of the best lipsticks by MAC that go well with the Indian skin tone.

Its the perfect balance between brown and beige.

It does stay on the lips for a good 6 hours.

It doesn't crease your lips.

Though MAC describes it as a beige colour, i feel it does have hints of pink undertone to it.

In my opinion this lipstick looks the best with dramatic eye makeup.

Also you can wear just this lipstick as to for a natural looking makeup look.

MAC 134 Large Powder Brush Review

This brush is very pricey. 

There are so many dupes out there and they are pretty affordable as well.

I only bought this because I wanted to have a powder brush from MAC. 

The buffing brush from Real Techniques seems to a better job at being a powder brush than this brush does. {my personal opinion}

Anyways I don't really have much to talk about this brush.

It's just like the other powder brushes out there. Nothing new about it except for the fact that it has an angled shape that can help you contour your face.

It doesn't shed. 

It picks up a fairly good amount of product at once so you don't have to go back and forth to pick more product up.

I use this brush to apply translucent powder.

Since it isn't too dense i wouldn't suggest you to use it to apply a powder foundation.

MAC 130 Short Duo Fibre Brush Review

This brush has been my go to foundation brush for over two years now.

It's a round, flat topped stippling brush.

It gives you an air brush type of a finish.

It works well with both cream and liquid foundations.

It can also be used to apply concealer on areas that are difficult to work with such as under the eyes, corners of the nose.

Tips For Application :

1. Use in swirling motion.


The Good :

1. It blends the foundation well, thus giving a natural effect.

2. Easy to clean.


The Bad :

1. Since it isn't dense, achieving full coverage requires multiple applications.

2. It does a shed sometimes.

URBAN DECAY Eyeshadow Primer Potion Review

This primer has been the subject of hype for so long and has received lots of love from the beauty industry.

To be honest i personally can't find any flaws in this primer.

It's just the best.

Right from the application to extending the wear of your shadows, this primer is on fleek.

It comes with an applicator.

The formulation is creamy.

A little amount of the primer is all you need.

No creasing. (YAY!!!!)

Perfectly easy to blend.

Holds all the formulations of eyeshadows well.

MAC PREP + PRIME 24-Hour Extend Eye Base Review

This eye base is an eye shadow primer from the Prep + Prime range by MAC.

The formulation is creamy gel like.

This has a matte finish.

MAC claims that this primer prolongs the wear of your eyeshadow for upto 24 hours.

I personally wasn't liking this product as much as i liked other primers for one reason,

It makes blending of your eyeshadows really difficult.

Since it has a matte finish application of shadow in the crease and blending gets tough.

Tips on application :

1. Use fingers for application to achieve the best result.

2. Since this is a clear primer it wont correct or conceal any imperfections on the eye lids, I'd suggest that you use a concealer on the eyelid followed by the primer.


The Good :

1. It does prolong the wear of your shadow for a really long time.

2. Works well with all the formulations of eyeshadows.


The Bad :

1. Application with a brush is difficult.

2. Blending of shadows takes a lot of effort.

MAC Brow Set Review

A brow set is used to set the hairs of  your eyebrows.

It has a Gel formulation.

Since its clear, it wont alter the colour of your brows or the colour of the brow pencil that you have used to enhance your brows.

The Good :

1. It has an easy application.

2. It literally holds your brow hair in position for a very long time.

3. Sweat proof ;)


The Bad :

1. It can cause acne near your brows.

2. It can get a little itchy.

MAC Mineralize Charged Water Moisture Gel Review

I have been using this moisturiser for the past two years. 

I so love this moisturiser.

Prior to using this one i used a moisturiser from Givenchy, The Hydra Sparkling Moisturiser.

To be honest i prefer this moisturiser to that of Givenchy.

After using a Face Wash the first thing i do is to apply this moisturiser.
You can use it as a base for your everyday makeup.

Tips For Application :

1. Apply it in the form of dots using your finger tips and then blend all over


The Good :

1. Feels light on the skin.

2. Long lasting.

3. Doesn't feel sticky.




The Bad :

1. It doesn't have an SPF.

2. Since it doesn't have a pump, application tends to get a little messy.

MAC Fix + Spray Review

The Fix + spray is one of the most popular product released by MAC.
MAC released this spray under the Prep + Prime category.
Most of the times this spray is confused to be a makeup setting spray. Its a makeup finishing spray.

 This spray is an amazing spray.
 When applied after completion of makeup it removes all the cakiness and gives your makeup a  natural look.
 Sometimes when we get heavy handed with our foundation and concealer this spray is to our rescue.  This spray can also be used to give your face makeup a dewy finish rather than a matte finish.

Tips for application :

1. You can apply it on your face before the application of makeup.
This will add some dewiness to your face when you apply the foundation.

2. Spray Fix + on to your brush and then use it to apply foundation. Your foundation wont apply too dry.

3. Spray it after completing the application for a dewy effect.

4. Spray from a minimal distance of 12 inches with your eyes closed to avoid irritation of eyes.



The Good :

1. Amazing dewiness.

2. Easy to spray.

3. Easy to carry.

4. Non sticky.



The Bad :

1.The dewy look doesn't last for more than a couple of hours.

Lancôme GRANDIÔSE - Wide-Angle Fan Effect Mascara Review

 "I wont cry for you, my mascara is too expensive"

This Mascara was definitely a splurge. I wasn't planning on buying this. The makeup artist at Sephora was wearing this mascara and it looked amazing on her. It gave her what everyone calls the False lashes effect.
That's how i ended up purchasing it.

The best way to achieve a good volume and length through this mascara would be to prep your eye lashes by curling them using an eyelash curler.

-Apply upto two coats for a natural effect on lashes.

-Apply multiple coats for a dramatic effect on lashes.

 The swan neck is designed for easier application as it works with the shape of your face. 

             The wand can be used either by the angle of the wand facing upwards or downwards.

Tips for application :

1.This mascara can tend to stick the lashes together if too much pressure is applied. To avoid this gently brush through the lashes rather than applying pressure.

2.While working with the lower lashes i would suggest you use a mascara guard or any plastic card to avoid the mascara smudging on to the skin.



The Good :

1.It dries in about 5-7 seconds.

2.Looks exceptionally good on the lower lashes.

3.Easy application.


The Bad :

1.It doesn't have a curling effect. Thus using an eyelash curler prior to application is a must.

2.May cause sticking of lashes amongst each other.

3.May cause smudging of mascara on to the skin while coating the lower lashes.
