I go to parties regularly. Could you tell me how can I get glowing skin so that I shine all night? — Shirush

To get that glowing skin you need to get yourself a face illuminating lotion and apply it all over your face. When you finish doing your makeup brush your face at the end with a shimmer powder and remember to highlight your brow bone and over the cheekbone area. By doing this you will shine all night!

Since its monsoon, humidity makes my skin very oily even though I use oil free foundation. If I don’t use foundation my skin looks horrible. What do I do? Please help me. — Naina

As it’s the monsoons no heavy oil foundation at all. Stick to sunscreens, toners, water- based foundations, face compacts and moisturisers. It is better not to use foundation during monsoon unless you want to get caught in a messy position. Instead use a face powder.

Hi! I wanted to know what type of makeup would you prescribe for the monsoons? — Anita

I would prescribe a blusher, a nice cheerful lipstick, liner and waterproof mascara. On a dull cloudy day, a minimum of a bright pink lipstick and a dash of powder blush add vibrancy to your face. Remember always match the romantic monsoon mood with bright tones to get that refreshing glow on your face.
