2014 - 2015 - A New Begining

Hello Everyone,

Wishing everybody a very happy new year 2015. Hope this year brings loads of happiness, peace and prosperity in all our lives.

Today I am going to share with you all the happenings of 2014 and a new begining in 2015. Thank you every one for being a part of this journey. 

2014 had been a good year.  There comes a time when you have to take a decision what your heart always kept telling you. Finally ! I too did the same and enjoyed every moment of it.  I resigned from my job and did something which my heart always wanted to do for a long long time, that is to learn make up professionally .

Time fly's .... there was never a dull moment in this three months time. Learnt and absorbed everything that I could. It was a very enriching experience. Now, I can proudly call myself a Professional Make up Artist.  

The most difficult part was creating a unique identity for my passion. Took lot of brainstorming session with family and friends and finally I was convinced that this new beauty venture of mine will be called as " BLUSH -  Make up by Zara".  With great pleasure and lot of excitment I share with you the first flyer of BLUSH. 

Party Look

Look and feel gorgeous this party season. Wether you are hosting or attending the party, how good it feels when you are the center of attention. How do we go about it??? Few points to consider before you prep yourself for the party.

• What dress are you going to wear
• How do you want to look
• If its a theme party 
• Day or night party 

These are few points to consider before you start your make up.  If its a day party, I suggest keep it simple yet glamourous but if its a night party then you can go for smokey eyes, extended smokey eyes or cat eyes which are attractive and ideal for party season.  

Todays look is not that heavy. You can support if you are meeting few of your friends in the evening or attending a party at a friends place.

Two Mind Blowing Lip Care Products

Chapped lips are not an appealing sight and usually lip balm which are available in dozens in the market does not serve the purpose. Have used lip balm from various brands but was not happy with the end results. 

Most lip balms don't really get absorbed, they only coat the surface which obviously get transferred while having anything. Have discovered two great products which helps in getting those soft moist lips this season. 

Winters are yet to start here in Mumbai. Today I am going to share two excellent products that you should invest this winter season.  

Bridal Make up Trial

Hello Ladies,

Hope you all are in pink of health.  I have been busy the whole day attending a shoot of NDTV Good Times " Band Baaja Bride with Sabyasachi".  (For more details keep a watch on the  blog,  where in coming days  I will share my on set experience and few pictures from the shoot.)  

Coming to today's post, bridal season has just begun. Today I will be sharing with you the pictures of the Bridal Make up trial that I recently did. 

Wedding is an amazing and memorable day for the bride. It does have a lasting effect throughout your life .  This season brides are open to experimenting from natural to smokey look and of course some vibrant fresh colors on the lips are also the flavor of this bridal season. 

Have kept the eyes very simple and natural. This is a Fashion Bridal Make up and looks great and elegant.  There are many brides who like to keep it simple, so here's a look which is not much loaded yet manages to capture the attention.

Cocktail Peach - Blush And Lip Liner

Coral has been the flavour this season.  It has been ruling the make up world throughout the year and still going strong. You can't go wrong with coral , it brings  warmth to over all face. 

Recently spotted this beautiful blush from Faces Canada and could not resist myself. A beautiful coral shade, perfect for this season and must have in your kit.  This post is all about coral love and what a co-incidence both the products that I am going to review today have the same name but from different brands... its Cocktail Peach :)

Makeover / Transformation - Before And After

If you never realised the power of make up before then you have to see this jaw dropping pictures 

of before and after make up.  Make up can transform a simple girl next door to a more glamorous avatar or even as good as a cover page model. 

Different people have different requirements. Models and actors are open to experimenting with different make up looks where as a working girl might prefer to go for a natural look. 

As mentioned in my earlier post, this transformation  is about a girl who is not use to applying make up at all. So lets check out how a correct make up can help you to achieve a flawless and a glowing outlook which not only will boost your confidence but make you think you are no less then any model or actress . 

Lets take a look at after make up picture first. 

 

Big deal right ??? Hold on ! before you make up your mind and think what so great in it,  lets have a look at before picture and then let me know what you think about the change.  

Make up Brushes - Unique Style & Pro Arte

Having good brushes in your kit is very important. All expensive things are not good, the same goes for brushes too. 

On my recent visit to beauty stores,  happened to pick up some really nice brushes at a very affordable price. When you are buying make up  brushes you need to check the bristles , hold,  quality and whether it will serve your purpose.  

Even after checking and keeping all the above points in mind , It's only after using the brush, you would be sure in telling whether they are really good and worth buying.

Are these brushes really worth ???? lets check out .

2) Pro Arte Flat Brush
