Get gorgeous



To live in Chennai and not gush over unforeseen rain showers, now that’s not happening. But if you don’t want to look like you’re dressed for Halloween on Diwali investing in waterproof cosmetics this October is a very good idea

For best effect
• Always rub an ice cube on your face prior to applying makeup as it reduces the rate of perspiration.
• Before applying foundation use an astringent for oily skin and for those who have dry and normal skin can use a toner to adequately refresh your skin.
• If water proof lipsticks give you a pasted on effect try using a waterproof lip pencil over the entire lips, over which you can layer a semi-moist gloss.
• Lip Color must be applied to clean dry lips.
• Three layers is the recommended amount for maximum staying power.
• Let each layer set for a few seconds before proceeding to the next.
• Using a moisturizer or barrier crème prior to the application of these waterproof cosmetics greatly reduces the harm they can cause
• Using Cetyl alcohol based cleansers is a better way of cleansing

Dress up

Dior bags, dark nails, gold hairpins and girl bonding and of course the supremely stylish lead ladies, that’s what we absolutely loved about the flick. While some people complained about the lack of substance some of us barely had the time to take notice with all the gorgeous clothes that made you want to run to the mall or the gym. Here’s how to replicate two of the looks that i loved the most…



Aisha

Young, fresh and exuberant. A typical South Delhi girl who mingles in high society and takes labels and wardrobe investment very seriously.

Get the look:
Her look is feminine and girly with a lot of bows, lace and dresses. Colours are mostly pastels and nudes. Prints are floral and polka.

Style totems:
Chanel bags, Dior dresses, pearls and cutesy hats.


Pinky

Experimental and outrageous. A spoilt rich girl with a spunky personality and a flamboyant wardrobe

Get the look:
Her look is quirky and fun. Mini dresses, micro shorts and bikini tops are recommended.

Style totems:
MA, MA and more MA. Think mickey mouse warrior print tee or psychedelic fish fry boots
