Belle!! & Ayesha Khan inspired makeup tutorial!!!!!

"Tale as Old as Time

Song as Old as Rhyme

Beauty and the Beast!"

Everyone knows Belle is one of the brave princesses. She's smart, she's sweet, she's a risk taker and she sees the beauty on the inside! My opinion is that everyone should be like her! Kind & Gentle & Loving too!!:) 

AND!! 

I want her library!! :-P

Don't you?! 

Anyways lets get back to our original topic! Makeup!! 

Now this look is not only inspired by the original cartoon version of Belle but also the "Once Upon a Time" version! and Also when I saw Ayesha Khan in the Hum Awards! I knew I had to do this look! For some reason, her makeup look reminded me a lot of belle's makeup look. she's the beauty isn't she?? I always love Ayesha Khan's makeup look! they're the best!  

Now the look did turn out exactly the same as it was on Ayesha Khan. I just don't know why my camera isn't picking up the shades well.

Alright Ladies! Lets start!!

First apply your regular eye primer.

1. Start by applying a shimmery shade as your highlight on the brow bone and the inner corner. 
2. Apply a dark brown shade in the socket.
3. Apply a light shimmery caramel shade in the crease.
4. Then blend with an even lighter  shimmery brownish gold shade. Ayesha had a lot of shimmer going on her eyes.
5. Apply a gold cream base. I used a gold eyeliner.
6. Then take a gold shimmery eye shade and apply it on the lid, we're putting the base on first to intensify the gold shade.
7. Take a black eyeliner pencil and apply it just slightly to the outer corner of the lid.
8. Then smudge the eye liner for a hazy effect. Make sure its slightly flicked as a cat eye.
9. Now take a black eye shadow and apply it on top of the black liner to intensify it.

Almost done!

10. Take the same gold eyeliner and apply it to the waterline. To give your eyes a slight glow to it!

11. Apply the same browns you used in the socket and crease area to the bottom lash line and blend out.

Apply your mascara! and that's it for the eyes!!!

These are the eye shades. I got this palette as a gift. Its the Color Workshop

Palette.

And the lid base is the Luscious Cosmetics Bold Smudge proof eyeliner! Can I just say this eyeliner is amazing!! and I'm going to get more after Eid:)

Take a warm plum blush and apply it to the cheeks.

Apply Sugar Rose Fresh lip balm on your lips for a rosy glow! and If you want Ayesha Khan's lip look then use any nude color to match your skin tone!  And we're done!!! 

Now I know the eyes seem difficult to achieve but trust me it's easy!! 

Here are the final looks.

"I want much more then this provincial life. 

I want adventure in the great wide!"

A few close ups! and Keep a look out for the next Disney princess look and do tell me What you guys think of my Disney Princess inspired look!!

Hope your having a lovely Ramadan and keep me in your prayers!!!:)

Ramadan Kareem! & Your health??

       First of all, I'd like to wish everyone Ramadan Kareem!! I can't believe how quick time passes by! and Ramadan is here already!!!

     The preparations of Ramadan and taraweeh and nasheeds just makes everything perfect! There's energy in the air! Everything seems more lively to me! is that only to me or you guys too feel this way??

    Now Ramadan is here, so I was thinking what about a post for your health during Ramadan?
First of all, if you have diabetes or cholesterol or any other problems, I'd definitely suggest Hujama, I get it done and it would be great for you to get it done before Ramadan or since its already started, now would be a great time too. It keeps you healthy and will help a lot with your health so fasting will be a lot easier, and your chances of getting ill will be reduced In Shaa ALLAH. And no its not painful and it seems scary but no its not! Trust me!!


   Second thing I'd like to talk about is thirst! Since its June and the heat is some days unbearable, which Allah does make it easier in Ramadan Ma Shaa ALLAH! but there are some ways to prevent it. Try eating yogurt in Sahoor. Also you can make a drink that has Water, yogurt, ice, and a pinch salt for taste. Blend it and drink it in Sahoor, not only will this quench your thirst but also keep the heat away!



    Another thing is of course Energy! We lose alot of energy while fasting in the heat. but lucky Allah has blessed us with the the delicious fruit DATES!! Eating 3 dates in Sahoor will give you energy through out the day.Breaking your fast during Iftar with Dates will also keep your blood sugar normal! Yup we want that!!

   We also can't drink water so how about drinking water every half hour from Iftari to Sahoor, that way you skin will remain fresh and won't loose its glow!


     Exercising? Taraweeh and all the prayers are great and easy exercises. Not only for the body but also for the mind and soul!

   Now please people please no fizzy drinks! Try to avoid those! Bad for your kidney and pretty much everything else! how about infused water?! That's tasty and healthy! you can just make it after sahoor and keep it in the refrigerator and take it out during Iftar! Its delicious!

   And of course last but not least if you are a desi, you know what the next topic is! :-P Thats right! Try to avoid the fried food. Now I myself am a Fried Food junkie. No iftari is complete without my Aloo (potatoes) Pakoras! Now since we cant completely avoid it, how about eating in moderation! Try to eat more fruits! That way you'll eat less fried food! Also try different techniques, prefer baking instead of frying. Use Wheat flour instead of White Flour! and things like that! Have Whole Wheat pizza for iftari, and whole wheat waffles for Sehri! The possibilities are endless!!

    That's so much as I can think of so far! :) Tell me your ideas and suggestions! and lets try these things. Nothing is difficult! Keep me in your prayers guys!! and Ramadan Mubarak! May Allah shower us all with his blessings this Ramadan and May he forgive us and make us better human beings! Ameen!!! :)

PS: These Pictures are not mine! I found them off of google:)

SNOW WHITE! & hum awards-celebrity inspired look!

Skin White as Snow

Lips Red as Blood

Hair Black as Ebony

Hey everyone! My next Disney Princess inspired makeup look is Snow White!!

She is so optimistic, and so sweet! I love her!:) Now this makeup look is not only snow white inspired! but most of the celebrities in the Hum Awards had a look similar to this. Red lips and neutral eyes :) You'll see their looks further on!!

                                     
        Now first I wanted to show you my lip combo for the famous red lips! Since the eyes are pretty neutral I wanted bright red lips!The lip combo I wore was Nars " Curella" and Maybelline Color Sensational in "Very Cherry



                                
                            Now the eyes are simple 6 steps. Start with priming your lid!

1. Take one shade darker then skin tone & use that as your transition shade in the crease
2. Now take a slightly more darker shade & apply it in the eye socket for definition.
3. Now take a shimmery white gold shade & apply it all over the lid with a damp brush.
4. Apply black eyeliner on the top lash line & apply slightly on the outer corner of low lash line.
5. Apply white eye pencil in the waterline & add mascara 
6. Apply a matte white shade in the brow bone as a highlight and your done!!!!

Here are the shades guys!!

                                  

That's it! So simple, right! This is great for an everyday look with toned down lips. Or you can definitely pull off this look if you don't wear makeup a lot and  your farewell or any other occasion is near by!!!

My personal opinion is that you can never go wrong with red lips! 

Its not so scary as you think it might be!

All you need is confidence!:)

Here's the final look! and Keep a look out for the next tutorial!!

:)

RAMADAN MUBARAK EVERYONE!!

Keep me in your prayers!!

Makeup setting Sprays! Gimmicks or Not?? Splurge or Save??

      So as I was going through my makeup bag, something caught my eye The Makeup Setting Spray! So lets get straight to it, because I have a lot to say!!

    Now a days makeup setting sprays are hitting the beauty industry! What do you guys about it? Is it a necessity or luxury? Is it a Gimmick or is it not? All of these thoughts were going through my mind since I saw these all over the internet?

   The makeup industry is piling up with setting sprays these days. When we think about buying these, we think should we splurge or save? Will splurging be worth it? or saving be worth it?

From high-end brands to drugstore brands all have these setting sprays.

                                                       Brands like Skindinavia

Krylon

Dermacolor

Laura Geller

Urban Decay

NYX

to ELF!

Well ladies the list does not end here. Mac and Motive Cosmetics & so so more brands are making setting sprays, fixing sprays whatever you want to call them!

    Well I'm here to tell you about my thought on these! I've given a couple of these a try. The ones that I've tried are Dermacolor (1200rs=$12) & ELF(600rs=$6). Well to be honest! They both do the same thing. Dermacolor is abit heavier so I would prefer these for brides where as the Elf one is lighter so I would prefer these for regular use. But the thing is, that these sprays transform your makeup look, not only does it lock it in but also instantly freshens up your makeup look! And makes your makeup last all day! Its definitely not a gimmick!

    If your a makeup artist like me I would suggest keeping both in hand, but if your just someone who wants it for your own self I would prefer The ELF one. Let me just tell you, don't be fooled by the price! $6 is a save and a steal!

     In the humid weather  like Karachi's, LA, or Florida and many other places like these when you want your makeup to not budge or move, you definitely need a setting spray or even if you live anywhere else! I wore the ELF setting spray in a lunch get together from around 1 o'clock in the afternoon  and the sun was beating down! With a hijab and Naqab, it didn't budge at all! Even when I got home, I didn't take off my makeup off until 9 o'clock  and it was the same as I put it on! and When I did my sisters makeup at 6 o'clock AM, She took it off at 1 o'clock AM ! It hadn't come off. Only the blush had worn off,  obviously that was going to happen after 19 hours!! But her foundation and the eye makeup had not worn off! trust me I'm not joking!

       So the point is, you don't need an expensive product, cheaper versions are just as good. Some beauty bloggers even say the ELF Mist & Set is a dupe for UD All nighter! So I definitely say, its a must for your makeup bag! But the best part is that you don't need to spend a lot of money. They all do the same thing! So  now you can have a same look without emptying your pockets!

So that's all I have to say but do tell me in the comment section what are your thoughts on these?? and which do you prefer guys??

          

Elsa The Snow Queen!!!

Alright Ladies!! My first look is Elsa! The Snow Queen!! I love her!!! Shes Strong, Powerful, and always got her sister's back! and ofcourse The braid with snowflakes! The dress!! WOW!!!

Soooo lets get to it!!!:)

OK!! So first apply a primer!

1. Then apply light brown shade in the crease.

2.Then take a wet damp brush and apply fishnet with it, to the entire lid. Applying it wet will intensify it.

3.Then apply Ransom(both shades from the urban decay deluxe palette) to the top lash line and blend slightly upwards.

4. Apply a white shimmery shade to the inner corner and lash line.

5. Repeat the process to the lower lash line. 

6. apply black eyeliner to the lower lash line and tight line and slightly smudging in the top lash line and apply ransom again to get gradually faded effect.

Apply mascara and your done!! Simple right!?

These are the shade here, and the blush shade is a pink blush from the ELF Blush Palette in Light.

Here is the final eye look!!!

 And for the lips! I applied a lip liner in "Red Dynamite"

and topped it with two lipsticks to get the perfect shade!! and They're the Maybelline Color Sensational in Vivid Rose & Fuchsia Flash!

Here is the liner! My new absolute favorite!!! Rimmel exaggerated eyeliner in Blackest Black!

ELF Volumizing Mascara!
