Now Some Deep Questions :)

What mistake do you notice people most often make in make-up: In an Attempt to be fair they put on lods of foundation and powders,not to mention in a shade which is way lighter. 

Top 5 Make-up Myths according to you:
  • Going for lighter shade of foundation/compacts would make you look fair( u look like ghost actually)
  • Brown n Pinks flatter of Indian skin tones ( They make you look old n made up respectively)
  • You need not to wear sunscreen when at home( r u freakin kiddin me? )
  • Makeup can cover up my horrible skin n turn me into some exotic creature ! (ahem! n turn you into some ghastly creature)
  • Girls more into skin care n beauty are of Zero merit (*grins* )
Top 5 tricks or tips you have learn't over the time:
  • Use n eye shadow base always.The color literally pops up n stays longer
  • Avoid brown in your lips..they make you look 20yrs older,Try shades of coral instead,they look better 
  • Setting the kohl with some translucent powder prevents it from smudging
  • Always remove your makeup when you come back from home.ALWAYS
  • Every skin tone n type is different. A lipstick may be a rage among all,but it may not actually suit you! (Maybelline my mahogany n colorbar bare didn't look good on me at all)
A Make-Up Must Have that every Indian Beauty must have in his/her vanity/purse: 
  •  Facial wipes,
  • lip balm,
  • kohl/kajal
