LINE YOUR PRIDE

Don’t want to go overboard with the too much makeup? No problem, The easiest, most understated way to make a statement is a coloured liner on your eyes. Take advantage of the colored liner trend and use a soft kohl or liquid liner in blue, green or orange to create a cat-eye flick or softly smudged under-liner. 

You can use Maybelline Hyperglossy in shade Green or Blue to create that very simple yet dramatic look. To make your eyes really pop, leave the rest of the look basic with a sheer gloss and natural blush.

Loreal Paris X Sabyasachi Limited Edition Aishwarya Rai Collaboration

2 Comments

“This is the first time that L’Oréal Paris is collaborating with an Indian designer. Their previous collaborations were with Balmain and Isabel Marant. Sabyasachi took forward the similarities our two brands had and the result was a classic collection comprising of 10 lip colours, a black eye liner and a volumizing mascara.

Sabyasachi Says: “I don’t like women changing their eye shadow every day; instead, one of the most endearing images of women for me has been about individuality and how repetition creates iconicism. Also, not everyone today has the time or the inclination to wear foundation, blush or even a primer. Hence, this collection is perfect for women whose make-up regimen is low maintenance.”

Sabyasachi Mukherjee can rightly be termed as the king of collaborations, over the years, the designer has built up an impressive portfolio of collections produced in association with brands and designers alike. Think: The successful Sabyasachi x Christian Louboutin collection that birthed lust-worthy shoes; the capsule collection for Lane Crawford that featured his first-ever white wedding collection; the collaboration with Asian Paints to create vibrantly printed wallpapers; Forevermark’s Zanyah collection; the vintage-inspired décor collection for Pottery Barn. 

Now, the he has joined hands with L’Oréal Paris to curate a festive make-up collection with L’Oréal’s ambassador, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

The Packaging and Beauty Bag of the collection.
Sabyasachi  L’Oréal Paris, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Collaboration is a 21-piece collection is the designer’s maiden makeup venture. It includes 10 lipsticks, One Volume Million Extra Black Mascara and Black Lacquer Eyeliner.


10 lipsticks shades of this collection:

  • 214 Raspberry Syrup
  • 242 Rose Nuance
  • 202 Maple Mocha
  • 250 Rich Merlot

The eyeliner is extra black and immediately highlights your eyes. It also dries up really fast. The Mascara is quite volumising and I really enjoyed using it. It is very similar to the Benefit They Are Real Mascara!

Deepika Padukone Wedding: Sabyasachi Bridal Banarasi Dupatta Look

4 Comments
Deepika Padukone, The Queen and The Rani Padmavati of Bollywood got married in a very traditional yet stylish wedding in Lake Como Italy on 21st October 2018 with the love of her life Ranveer Singh. The Ram Leela Romantic Pair actually made it happen in real life!! 
The irony being that they have never been happily married in any of the movies they acted in together Like Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani and Padmavati where Ranveer Singh played Khilji who Padmavati loathed.

It was officially a Sabyasachi wedding as most of her attire: Wedding Lehenga, Saree, Suit& Jewellery was created by him. She also wore a beautiful Abujani and Sandeep Khosla white assemble for one of reception’s in Mumbai in which she looked ethereal!!

I tried to recreate one of her looks where she wears a silk banarasi red dupatta with cream golden silk salwar kurta. The Jewellery, Makeup and Sabyasachi Look is mesmerising, both of them were head to toe Sabyasachi!!
Overall, I observed very carefully that Deepika’s Wedding Wardrobe was just not about fashion or traditions it was also about comfort. All her clothes are very wearable and timeless which she can keep on repeating in times to come….
Here, is the Sindoor look that, I created inspired by #deepikapadukone


Foundation:  Makeup Forever  Ultra HD Invisible Cover Foundation Y245
                     Makeup Base NYX Born to glow liquid Illuminator

Highlighter:   NYX Born to glow liquid Illuminator

Eyes:            Urban Decay Naked Palette Half baked, Eye Highlighter Virgin

Eyeliner:       Maybelline Hyper Impact Liner

Eyelashes:   Maybelline The Magnum Barbie

Contour:      Solar Riche – M.A.C
                    Makeup Forever HD High Definition Powder

Blush:          Benefit Coralista

Lips:            Ruby from Bellepierre 


The Suit Salwar that I am wearing in Lucknowi with silver tikka work custom stitched. Choora’s are from my wedding and The Bangles and Earrings were are also a part of my wedding jewellery,I was surprised the Deepika’s choice of jewellery matched so much with mine. 🙂

The Banarasi Dupatta that I wearing is from Amazon.in this is made of Polysilk, which is the best option after pure silk banarasi dupatta.
