Here is an interview with her, whereby she answers questions on makeup.
1. Is there any way to prevent eye liner from leaving marks in the crease of the eyes or smudge underneath the eyes?
To avoid that, apply a nice coat of powder on your eyelid before applying eyeliner or you can take a same colour eyeshadow and go over the liner or kohl with a thin brush. This will make it smudge free.
2. What can we do to make our makeup last longer?
a) Prepare your skin by exfoliating, toning and moisturising.
b) Use oil free foundation.
c) Use waterproof mascara & eyeliner.
d) Use translucent powder over your foundation.
e) Finish your makeup with a setting spray.
3. For girls who wear glasses, what eye makeup would you advice for them so that their eye makeup stands out even under glasses?
While putting eyeliner make sure that if your frame is thicker then apply a thick eyeliner to your upper lash line so that the eyes stand out. If you have a thin frame then apply soft eyeliner.
Eye glass frames draw attention to the brows so be sure to keep your arches well groomed.
An eye shadow that is lighter and brighter than your frames will helps eyes to stand out but if you want to go bold and add some fun use eyeshadow colours like lavender, blue, green that will complement your skin tone and will add contrast to your face.
4. How should we choose a concealer which matches with our skin tone?
For under eye area be sure to select a shade of concealer that’s one or two shades lighter than your natural skin tone. For face select a concealer that matches the colour of your foundation.
