Just like the Westerners are obsessed with tans and tend to go a little overboard with their bronzers, we Indians are obsessed with fairness and we tend to go a lot overboard with our foundation. You don't want to be competing with some place's lights, do you? So, make sure you apply just the right amount of foundation.

We Indian girls love our kajal but let's face it; we need to take a break. When you're looking super pretty and all dolled up in bright colours it'll look a little weird to have thick gothic under-eyes right? So instead of opting for some super black kajal, try softly smudging darker eyeshadow. It'll give you that perfect sultry smokey eyed look.

Ok so layering lipsticks is a really bad thing. When you layer lipsticks together to create an all-new colour, it leads to extra creaminess, feathering or bleeding colours. So stop making this mistake because it only gets worse when you're sipping on a drink.

Yes, you get to decide the colour of your blush but you also need to keep the texture in mind. Mousse/cream blushes tend to give the most natural look but for someone with oily skin, this can only spell disaster. So always keep your skin type in mind when you select a blush to invest in. After all, you need your cheeks to look as natural as possible.
