What To Wear: To an IPL Match...

Yes I know you know that I went for the IPL match between Pune Warriors India and Royal Challengers Bangalore yesterday at the Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium :P Well to be honest I am not really an IPL fan, ok seriously I am not even a cricket fan. I know I know I am an Indian and cricket is suppossedly our "religion" but I am somehow more of a footbal fan... Sigghhhh it's my East Indian blood speaking again I guess :P

So anyways, even though I ain't much of a cricket fan I still went for the IPL match and well I must say the excitement at the stadium is sooo electrifying that you cannot help but be a part of it... Of course I have been to live matches before especially Indo-Pak ones and it's always the same excitement :) This time we got some really awesome seats, which was like the fourth row from the front, just behind the cheerleaders squad :D Hahahahaha, imagine the fun the "pati" and the guys had :P Ok, in all honesty the "phirangi" cheerleaders are really good looking :) Pretty and sweet :) and yup we girls got to have out eye candy as well... Virat Kohli is seriously HOT! A bit of a snob but I guess it goes with the image :P

Some pics I clicked for you guys :)

And here's the outfit I wore for the match... I went with a classic white with denim combo... A white top with pretty "hakoba" detailing in the front with pencil blue jeans and my at the moment favorite floral printed ballerinas :) And of course by Orange cross-bag from Accessorize :)

Makeup-wise: I went for a nudish look. I used MAC Honesty on my lids, Bronzer on my cheeks and Colorbar Star Metal Lipgloss in Astral :)

Hope you guys liked the look :)

LOTD: Orange Eye Shadow for a Nude Look

The color Orange is totally IN right now and if you are a fashion and beauty magazine buff like me then I am sure you only have either this tangerine colored dresses in your head or are lusting after some floral prints... Going with that trend I wanted to use Orange in a more subtle way and maybe even make it look more wearable for day to day routine... Thus I came up with this look where I have used Orange eye shadow for a nude daytime makeup look... I swear I had no idea Orange could be used in such an understated and a casual look :) The trick is that we Indians have a warmer skintone so warm shades like Orange and Brown look super gorgeously natural on us :)  Oh yes do try it :)

Isn't it a pretty relaxing Sunday look? :)
P.S. I have used Inglot DS51 here :)

LOTD: My Experiments with Nude Makeup

If you are with me on Facebook and Twitter then you would know about the status update I had posted today in the morning saying that 
"Pati" says he likes me without make-up nowadays... I guess my experiment with Nude Make-up with MUFE Star Powder is a success :)
Well you see I have been mulling over, trying some nude looks for the past couple of days and if you all know me at all then you'll know how much I love colorful lips and smokey eyes. Well then for a person like me delving into the world of nude make-up is quite drastic and so I wasn't getting any confidence in sporting any such looks! I was trying them out in Mumbai, as Mumbai with its humidity isn't kind to people with a face full of make-up and one generally tends to keep their make-up to quite a minimum and understated :) So Mumbai was the perfect location and when "pati" actually almost "gushed" about how much he was liking my "no makeup" look in Mumbai, I knew I had struck JackPot :) So here's the look and I am sharing it with you guys so that you could give me criticism and praise :) I am open to both! :D

Now let me clear the myth about Nude Makeup. Many people I know think that Nude Make-up means wearing no or minimum make-up but you see nude make-up means wearing enough make-up to make you look gorgeous and flawless and giving an illusion that no make-up has actually been applied! This reminds me of Calvin Klein's quote "The best is to look natural, but it takes make-up to look natural". So, I'll be honest and I will tell you that I am wearing a number of products here in order to achieve this "nude" look :)


Products Used:
1. Make Up For Ever Start Powder in shade 940 as highlighter, eye shadow, face illuminator & Lip Sparkle
2. Maybelline Gel Liner
3. Colorbar Waterproof Liquid Liner
4. Maxfactor False Lash Effect Mascara
5. The Body Shop Lip Treatment Gloss in Beige Sparkle 
6. Colorbar Blush in Floral Fuschia

Also this post would be incomplete if I do not mention the star product here which is MUFE's Star Powder in shade 940. Review coming up so I will not talk about it much just that it is awesome and is an all-in-one product :)
