Pink

The temperature is soaring and people are going crazy really high and it is making people go nuts. But, the temperature doesn't stop people from going to all the fancy pool parties and luncheons that are held during the day. So today I will show a very simple look to beat the heat in style and not look like we just lost our way to a wedding party. 






So here I've basically done a whitish base and light eyes and I've gone super glossy with the lips. I'm wearing a jewel hairband and a string of pearls. I've done a messy side bun which wasn't supposed to be even that messy. My look altogether is more apt for a brunch or a formal afternoon party. But this look minus the neckpiece and hairband will tone it down to a more casual look which can be worn anywhere.

Products I used: 

Base: 
Inglot illuminating powder foundation
Stila Mat Bronze Powder
Stila perfecting concealer
 Stila HD microfinish blush

Eyes: 
Maybelline gel liner
Purninerals impact + mascara
Lakme eyeconic kajal
Revlon diamond lust eyeshadow 

Lips: 
Inglot sleeks lip gloss

Culture Clash







This look came to my mind when I was cleaning my cupboard. I found this really old pair of ghagra- choli (an Indian traditional attire) I do like making new combinations with old clothes and some of them turn out to be pretty good. I always loved Indian traditional clothes but these were super old and I always loved them so I didn't want to discard them. Fusion is quite a common style in India but people go for a more subdued combination like denim and a kurti or a indo-western skirt and vest. My ghagra was bought from a small local store in Gujarat and not from a swanky boutique so it has the traditional embroidery with beads and sequins and its a proper ghagra which locals wear not urban girls.
So, sporting this kind of a combination was different than the usual indo-western combination. I ditched the choli (the top) and traded it with a black oversized t-shirt from my friend's wardrobe. P.S I'm not exactly the t-shirt type and I teamed it with a pair of black heels and a gold neckpiece.

Ghagra: Vintage
T-shirt: Friend's
