Last weekend when I was out with my friend in Lajpat nagae we decided to visit Kryolan City store and voila I was lucky I got a chance to meet their Senior Makeup artist from Italy Ms Samantha :)
She is here in India for a while conducting makeup workshop. I got the chance to have a chit chat session with her and I asked her a few beauty related queries ...

Kryolan says that makeup is a science and they study the client

6- What foundation do you suggest for long stay ?

Samantha says, Kryolan Micro foundation smoothing fluid , its silicon based and does not even make the skin feel heavy.

Winter Makeup Trends

After doing my last post on Winter Trends I thought I should cover Winter Makeup Trends too. So here it goes....

1-Nude Makeup- This look never goes out of trend and always . It is fast , easy and fresh.Perhaps, the main difficulty here is to create radiant nude makeup (what is more important not to overdo, remember it is still nude makeup) that would accentuate your natural beauty. All you need is makeup foundation tone that perfectly suits your complexion, neutral eyeshadow shade, mascara to make your eyes pop, a bit of blush applied to the apples of your cheekbones for more vivid look and nude lip-gloss or lipstick color to complete the look.

2-Bold Lips-This winter season make a statement with bold lips, although on one side perfect nude make up is part of trends and on the other is the bold lips.Everything from  orange and red lipstick shades to burgundy and dark purple ones.Just make sure the idea is to make the lips pop out so keep the make up minimal.

3-Thick Eyebrows- We can kiss goodbye to thin over-plucked brows as now thick natural sometimes even boyish eyebrow look is ‘in’. Moreover Fall/Winter 2011-2012 makeup trends make us to define eyebrows with black pencil.

4-Varicolored Smoky Eyes- Smoky eyes are hottest trend this winter season,here the only thing here that changes about smoky eyes is the eyeshadow shade.The classic smoky looks is there but the variation look with unusual eye-shadow shade is also here to stay ! 

5- Eyeliner- Lines, lines and again lines… from thin winged eye lines to weird thick lines covering almost all the lid. Line your eyes the way you like and make a style statement.

6- Orange eye makeup- Orange is the color of the season , you can find it every where be it apparel , footwear and accessories. A punch of orange can do wonders to even a simple look. You can team orange eyes with  a bit of pink, green, yellow etc.
