For the very first time I tried an Indian outfit and I am absolutely in love with this look. 
Indian makeup is all about big hair & dramatic eyes. So I tried to do a modern Indian bridal makeup.

6 Things To Do The Night Before Your Wedding

3/13/2015

1. EXFOLIATE YOUR LIPS

Having a smooth lips help your lipstick stay longer and looks flawless in the pictures. You & your bridesmaids can do this process a night before your wedding day or even can make it as a routine for having a baby lips. 
Here is some easy things you can do for exfoliating your lips:


* Use a tooth brush to peel off the dry skin :

* Fast & easy handmade lips Scrub (Mix Brown sugar + Honey + Olive oil)

* OR just buy a lip Exfoliator (in this case you DON'T need to do the last 2 steps )

2.WASH YOUR HAIR A DAY BEFORE YOUR WEDDING

Many of girls always think a clean & fresh washed hair is better for styling. But the truth is an OLDER hair keeps your curl last longer during your event.And hairstylists love to style an old/dirty hair.(sounds funny but its true). Bride & her bridesmaid should wash their hair one night before the event and just  blow-dry it. 

3.EARLY MORNING MAKEUP & PUFFY EYES??!!!!

You need 2 tea bags. Drink your choice of tea for your breakfast.But don't throw away the teabags. Let cool until the bags are comfortably warm to the touch. Lie down, close your eyes, and place a tea bag over each eye; then cover with a soft cloth for 10 minutes. 
During hot months, put the cooked tea bags in the refrigerator and apply to eyes when needed for a refreshing, eye-opening experience.
*Why tea bag?! 
Caffeinated teas help constrict blood vessels and reduce swelling, while herbal teas (especially chamomile) contain anti-irritants that soothe redness and inflammation.
*Black or Green tea?!Both work well to soothe puffy, irritated eyes.

4. ROUTINE CLEANING, TONING & MOISTURIZING 

A night before your wedding do your routine moisturizing before you go to sleep. But do not forget you neck and under your eyes too. It helps to have a smooth and flawless look after applying several  layers of foundations & concealer.

5.EQUIP WITH ESSENTIALS

Remember to equip yourself with some essentials you'll need during the course of the evening. 
*Translucent powder >>>For minimizing shine
*Concealer  >>> For after shedding all those happy tears. 
*Your trusty lip gloss >>>For after eating, drinking and of course KISSING :) 
Keep all of them in your small purse or your maid of honor's purse. 

6. RELAX & ENJOY YOURSELF!

In the end, my last word of advice isn't about makeup,it's to relax and enjoy yourself! This is your big day and you are marrying to your soul-mate. Remember if something goes wrong it's all going to be OKAY! Try to have a sweet sleep, great breakfast and a big smile!


Many warm wishes on your wedding Xoxo

I personally do not like a traditional hairstyles for the weddings. I think having a flawless and timeless style is the most important thing for the brides. And it also helps to show your makeup and dress as much as possible. 


Stay Beautiful & Chic <3

My Favorite MATTE FINISH SPRAY & POWDER

3/4/2015

0 Comments

 
For day-time makeup I usually like to have a matte finish look for myself or my beautiful clients. I know we all love glowing face too :) But in the day light (specially in sunny days) when you have shiny and glowy makeup it does look like you sweat or you got an oily skin :( Which is not what we want. 

For having a matte finish look you do whatever your routine is for your daily makeup. The only part you need to change is using the matte finish spray or matte finish powder instead of your glowy highlighter :) 

Here is my favorite MATT FINISH products:

For this look I used Ben Nye luxury powder (Banana color) on her T-zone area. And after that I sprayed the NYX (Matte Finish)for setting her makeup with the amazing Matte finish.

    As a beauty advisor & a makeup artist who specializes in reviewing makeup, I think I have probably tested hundreds of products over my 7+ years of working in beauty industry. Not to mention all of the years of simply wearing makeup and trial and error of finding what product works and what doesn't. 

    Now I decided to start writing my own blog with my own honest experience. 

    Feel free to ask your questions or even share your own experience with me. 

    Love,
    ​Nilou
