In this blog I will discuss few of the many different types of foundations that are available in stores from different brands. My blog on “How to pick the right foundation for your skin” which I posted a while ago was quite appreciated by all of you. Many thanks to my Instagram and Twitter followers for such spectacular response. This blog is kind of a continuation of the earlier one but it focuses more on the skin types and textures you desire. I briefly discussed in the earlier blog that there are most commonly three types of skins one may naturally possess, that are, dry, oily and combination. Depending upon these factors all good make-up brands offer different types of foundations like powder foundation, liquid foundation, cream foundation and mousse. Powder foundations give a light coverage and are best for school / college going teen-aged girls who do not require very heavy make-up and can carry it in their bags for little touch up whenever they need. It is not very ideal ...

The Frankfurt Book Fair is about to commence from 11th to 15th October 2017.The first three days of the event have been reserved for professional visitors while in the last two days it will be opened for general public and media persons. This book fair has a tradition spanning over 500 years, since 1454, when printing in movable letters was first developed by Johannes Gutenberg.

Your foundation is the most essential part of your make-up and choosing the right one for your skin can be the most difficult job - whether you are a beginner or doing it since ages. I learned it after a lot of research and experimentation, and to be honest, failures too. Hence, in this blog I am going to share few tips that I have learned through my experiences which might be helpful for the readers. Brands like M.A.C have professional make-up artists to help buyers in selecting the right foundation, but in most stores you do not find this option. So, it is very important that you know the following three things when you go to buy a foundation for yourself: 1. What is your under-skin-tone? 2. How pale or dark are you? 3. What skin type do you possess? 1. What is your under-skin-tone? First, you find out what color is your under-skin-tone. This determines whether you are cool-toned, neutral or warm-toned. Almost all foundations are made to cater these three types of skin-to...

In this blog I will share experiences of being in some of the world’s most exotic places. Recently I was in Dubai for few days - the land of golden deserts, skyscrapers, huge shopping malls, delightful food and diverse people. Almost every person on this planet, no matter where he lives, what he does, must have a desire to be in Dubai at least once in life. Burj Khalifa – The most prominent landmark in Dubai and the world’s tallest building, is 160 stories high. Located on the Sheikh Zayed Road, the skyscraper is surrounded by big shopping malls and buildings. A wonderful dancing fountain show is displayed in the evening just in front of it which is a delightful sight for the tourists who come to visit. I shot it through my camera and have the video available for you on Instagram. (See northernlightsstories) Burj Khalifa was built in six years with one and a half Billion USD and got completed in year 2010. Until that time Taipei 101 was the tallest building which was constructed b...

I recently tried out Fair & Lovely’s new BB cream. Found a very lovely and subtle effect on a combination skin-type like mine. I think it is perfect for younger and middle-aged women, who are either college going or work in an office and desire a skin that looks fair, fresh and glowing for longer hours. Its SPF 15 protects skin from damaging sun rays, covers pigmented areas like dark circles under the eyes and spots etc. The cream also gives a wonderful make-up finish with a pinkish glow desired by most girls. Fair & Lovely’s BB cream is ideal for situations when you have someone wanting to see you suddenly, as it takes lesser time than a foundation to set on your skin. You can apply it like any cream and here you are, ready to shine like a star! I never go out without applying this magical cream now and always carry it in my bag. You can buy it too and give your skin a wonderful glowing appeal.
