makeup ideas

ladies - I’ve got a purplish-pink saree, with a bit of dark gold kaam at the borders to wear at a wedding.

What kind of makeup should I do with this outfit?

Re: makeup ideas

Agree with the ladies about doing a smokey eye and pink lips!

Defo smokey eyes and pink lips!

Re: makeup ideas

never thought of a bronze smokey eye...great ideas guys.

I was thinking of getting the makeup done by MAC. Yes or No? Never used their products before, so not sure if it will suit my skin.....

Reha - can't you just come up and do my makeup? please!

Re: makeup ideas

Afshi your sari's color combo sounds super pretty. Post pics :D

Re: makeup ideas

yeah we* demand *pics :D

Re: makeup ideas

Heh, was about to say dark gold or bronze as well!

Re: makeup ideas

I wouldn’t do smokey eyes with purplish-pink…I’d try to keep the eyes cool and fresh looking…something like in this pic.

Re: makeup ideas

This is beautiful! How would one go about doing this look??

ETA: I found it. The MUA used Chanel Duo in Orient Express and a black kohl pencil.

Re: makeup ideas

Def bronze smokey eyes and a pale pink lipstick (you don't wear much lipstick) it would look really pretty on you!

Re: makeup ideas

hareem - the colour of the dress she is wearing is a different shade than what I'm wearing. It's less of a shocking pink and more purplish.

so ladies, should I get the MAC MUA do it for me?

makeup ideas

Sure if you can.. Mac goes really heavy on the eyes so make sure you tell them how heavy u want the look to be.

Re: makeup ideas

This pretty much is a smokey eye. Obviously not too intense, it’s more subtle but smokey nevertheless. Looks nice though.

Re: makeup ideas

Precisely! i'm so tempted to try that out on myself, just for the heck of it :p

Re: makeup ideas

I've had MAC do my makeup several times and I was underwhelmed. They do go really heavy on the eyes and as soon as they find out its a south asian/desi event, they seem to go overboard. If you do go to to them make sure you take a pic of what you want though.

Re: makeup ideas

would eye makeup like this be suitable?


I’m trying to find a pic to show to the MUA.

Re: makeup ideas

^Afshi, I like Ashwariya’s but still don’t know which colour you’re wearing…there’re just too many shades of purplish-pink. :smiley:

Yeah, it is. I found the tutorial. Oscars 2009 Beauty: Natalie Portman | Spoiled Pretty
