Chiseled Look

Doing Makeup had always been part of me... rather I would say a God Gifted talent which I had been practicing continuously back stage since years, saving on costs while doing shoots as a part of my Public Relations profile.

Finally getting an International certification as a makeup artist was THE real feather on my cap. To actually give it solid grounds to take off and start afresh commercially. Having specialised in EDITORIAL and FASHION MAKE-UP, started with Chennai. Editorial and Fashion Makeup was specific because, I realized there is a growing trend of every person like diamonds .. owning and flaunting a portfolio which is a long lasting memory. Pre-Wedding shoots, Baby showers, Mehandi , Roka, Beach parties etc etc. So it is extremely essential that for such memories, our best features need to be highlighted. Another fact is not every one has a perfect face that is photogenic, to create that face is both an ART and a SCIENCE.

CHISELED LOOK IS WHAT  I TERM IT AS....

Contouring beautifully is the key to create a 3D face which on pictures becomes a flat 2D image. This has to be done with a lot of precision which only practiced hands can create magic. This kind of look is also popularly known as Nude makeup in which you enhance the features by Contouring and play with neutral shades or the skin tones. 

Method: After cleansing, Toning and moisturizing,  Apply primer.. Then conceal the flaws. Then use deeper tones below the cheek bone to create a shadow and blush above that shadow. Blending is the key for any makeup application. Or else it will not look like a part of your skin. The bridge of nose along with the areas under eye is highlighted, along with the chin and temple area of forehead. 

Monochromatic makeup i.e makeup done with shades of one color is Trending a lot in India. This look has been popular Internationally. International artists like Angelina Jolie, Kate Winset for Lancome, Priyanka Chopra as baddie, Diana Penty in her Bridal looks, Deepika Padukone in Baajirao Mastani have adorned these looks.


Nude make up can be further enhanced with shades of Gold and pink peach. Loreal has recently launched Gold series which Aishwarya Rai is promoting... so has Lakme where Kareena is the brand ambassador. 

Here are some challenging faces with broad and a plump face  where I have created a Chiseled look.

Green Coffee – the new bean... to sweep that sugar clean What’s the wait for.... go green!!

Going green is not only the tag of environmental health but also one for the health freak community, a fad that is growing... unlike a viral that in the era of net is healthy but this green going viral is anti- oxidant!! Last few years, a decade, to be precise ,witnessed  that green tea and various other ‘avtaars’ of these leaves, Chinese in origin,  have captured a big space in market shelves, be it Super markets or just a nearby small ‘kirana’ store. Most recent ‘Green’ tag carrying its own bouquet of benefits in the health conscious era is Green coffee. To focus more on its primary health benefits, lemme begin.... after going through the research papers, I would thrust on the bigger aspect - Diabetes over weight loss benefits. Green Coffee has a chemical ‘ Chlorogenic acid’ above 45%, which actually restricts the absorption of glucose into blood stream by not allowing the complex sugars to break down into simple. Hence it is quite clear that these complex sugars w...
