Lakme Absolute Illusion Makeup Master Class By Natasha Nischol

Hey Everyone!!!

If you read my last post you already know that I attended Lakme Absolute Illusion Makeup Master Class By Natasha Nischol (and made my First Video  too. Let me know what you think.)

Coming back to this post, here is what happened at the event.

Mumbai, 15^th March 2014: Lakme a trendsetter for decades has created several outstanding looks each season. An informative makeup masterclass was conducted by Lakme Makeup Expert, Natasha Nischol at the Jabong Stage on day four during Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2014.

Purnima Lamba, Head Innovation at Lakme, introduced Natasha Nischol on stage and invited her to demonstrate the second edition of Lakme Absolute Master Class themed around Lakme’s latest offering the Lakme Absolute Illusion range. Natasha revealed how to achieve the Lakme Absolute Illusion Metallic Look that is all set to be the beauty trend of the season.

VJ Sarah Jane Dias, Lakme Digital Ambassador was the model for the session. During this one hour session, Natasha Nischol demonstrated the Absolute Illusion Day and Night looks on Sarah Jane Dias.  

Lakme Absolute Illusion - Day to Night 

For the Lakme Absolute Illusion by Day look, a base of Lakme Youth Infinity Moisturizer, Foundation and Concealer was applied to Sarah’s face prior to the show. Sarah’s hair was also prepped up according to the 70’s vibe – big and curly. A bronzer from the Lakme Absolute Face Stylist range was used for the cheekbones, followed by blending the eyes with the Lakme Absolute Illusion Pearl Eyeshadow, which Natasha insisted could be used in light or heavy portions. A streak of black eyeliner was applied to infuse the colour of the shimmery eye shadow, to give it an electric feel. Dots of electric violet and blue from the Lakme Absolute Eye Shadow Duos were added on top of the eyeliner and to the inner corner of the eye, adding dimension.

Sarah’s eyelashes were curled using the Lakme Absolute Voluminizing Mascara. Sarah confessed that she loved flaunting fake eyelashes, which she found very dramatic.

Natasha finished this Absolute Illusion day look by dabbing the lips in a matte orange lipstick from the Lakme 9to5 range. Sarah walked down the ramp flaunting her bold avatar, swaying to the Bee Gees. Natasha mentioned that ‘Saffron Gossip’ from the same range is a lighter hue of orange lipstick that is safe to play with.

Sarah expressed that she faced a problem with metallic eye shadow fading off an hour after applying it. Natasha explained that the secret to long lasting makeup is to layer and blend in eye shadow with cream and powder so that it sets through the day. Natasha suggested that women should go all out and experiment with purple, blue and aquamarine that look gorgeous on Indian women.

The Lakme Absolute Illusion by Night was achieved by adding touch-ups to the day look and blending in purple Lakme Absolute Drama Stylist Crayon Eyeshadow followed by building in the intensity of the eye shadow with a slightly darken tone. Another line of eyeliner which smudged easily into the purple canvas brought a little sparkle in a pink glitter shadow over the inner corner of the eyes. Sarah’s lips were dabbed in a soft coral called ‘Rust Crush’. The look was completed by applying a coat of mascara and brushing the face with some glitter over the cheekbones in a decent amount of bronze blush – Lakme Absolute Blush Dous, Night Sheen.

I am looking forward to trying these out. Are you excited too??

Hey Everyone!!!

Recently I was invited for the preview of Havaianas, GUESS and Gc Watches 2014 collections. But couldn't attend it as something very important came up at work last minute.

The Preview was organised by AP Group. AP Group is dedicated to the distribution and retail of international luxury and fashion brands in India. Headquartered in Mumbai, AP Group’s distribution venture commenced with the incorporation of Watches of Switzerland in the year 2000.

Gc Watches B1- Class

The iconic B1 series intrigues through its modern elegant look with vintage style elements and refined functions. The main characteristics of the Swiss Made chronograph are the exceptional telemeter scale on the bezel and the remarkably detailed dial design inspired by navigational instruments. A masculine timepiece with a distinct technical look appealing to the man’s instinct of adventure.

The reduced size of the 40.5 mm polished stainless steel or rose gold (PVD) case underlines the vintage inspiration of this timepiece as do the mushroom pushers, the Breguet style hands and a magnifying lens for the date window positioned at 4 hours. The design of the Gc B1-Class Telemeter emphasizes a variety of technical features. The unusual engraved telemeter scale on the bezel allows the calculation of the distance from the observer of an event that is both audible and visible. So, no more worries in stormy times; by measuring the time between lightning and thunder, the watch tells you in kilometres how far away the thunderstorm is. The dial offers a tachymeter scale and three subdials providing a 12 hour and 30 minute indicator at 6 and 9 o’clock as well as a small second at 3 hours. The timepieces are equipped with a screw-

down crown, screwed-in case back, and are water resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM).

Distinguished by a sober and refined design, the Gc B1-Class Chronograph is to the Sport Chic collection and provides the ultimate timeless fashion statement. Swiss Made quartz movement fastened with a sleek and stylish dynamic strap in a rose gold tone. The tinted dial adds a touch of contemporary retro chic to this iconic a look of modern luxury that is guaranteed to turn.
