For the cheeks, apply a warm earthy blush under the cheekbones and blend upwards and outwards (towards the temples).  For the eyes, apply primer orshimmery base (like MAC CCB) and apply coppery eye shadow all over the lid and soften the edges.

      Thank you Anks 🙂 Seeing you after a long time. I just think of combinations- sometimes based on what makeup I own, sometimes based on clothes. A lot of times its just trial and error 😛 How’ve u been?

    a bit tied up… 🙂 i always get confused what blush/ lipstick to wear with what clothes…. most often, end up reaching for the same colour again and again!

      Glad you liked the dewy look Khushboo. Its a matter of choice, warm makeup looks gorgeous on all skin tones and suits a lot of occasions and outfits where pink makeup might not suit well.

      Thanks a lot Divya 🙂 Eye make up needs a little bit practice but you’ll get the hang of it soon. Just make sure you use a good quality brush and decent quality eye shadows otherwise the look just doesn’t come out well. Faces eye shadow brush is good one for beginners and it is quite light on the pocket too (Rs 70).

          NYX has great quality at really affordable pricing! What shades did u order? I haven’t seen Faces brush online yet. Maybe on Fashion and You (I haven’t Faces cosmetics online anywhere else). If u want to order online, Coastal Scents brushes are really good and well priced. There’s just the hassle of shipping.

      Thank you Neha 🙂 Ya pinks/purply shades suit me more cos I’m cool toned. BeYu eye base is quite good Neha but it has shimmers which I don’t like if I’m doing a subtle matte look. I think eye base is really important. so if you’re not going fr MAC Paint pot , go for BeYu eye base. I do wear blush, lipstick and some base on face everyday but I don’t wear eyeshadow regularly- mainly cos I don’t get much time to get ready. I just put some colored pencil or smudged look (smoldering summer eye tutorial type). If I get time and I’m going out, I do wear eyeshadow too.

      Thanks Ramona 🙂 Its difficult to find matte eyeshadows in drugstore brands in the Indian market. You can go for MAC or Inglot eyeshadow singles. MAC ones cost Rs 680 in pan and Rs 900 in single and Inglot ones cost Rs 300 in pan. You will get a lot of shades to choose from. Among drugstore brands, Revlon has a quad called ‘Berry Bloom’ which has a semi-matte pink eyeshadow. The quad will cost you around Rs 550-575. Its better go for Inglot if you have it in your city. If shimmer doesn’t suit you, try a pearl finish or satin finish, they are not completely matte, they have a subtle sheen which looks very beautiful and it is quite wearable also. I have MAC Cranberry which is a medium reddish-pink with a frost finish. I wanted a pink shade too and I had a hard time finding a shade I liked.

      This is the link to the coastal scents website brushes page http://www.coastalscents.com/cfwebstore/index.cfm/category/37/cosmetic-brushes.cfm
      You can choose your products and add them to your cart. You’ll need a credit card to make the payment. Shipping takes around 2 weeks but products are really good and reach safely without any damage. I have the original 88 palette. If you want to try out shades, you should get this. It has matte and semi-matte finish shades and the quality is excellent. I have this and you can see the shades in the link https://corallista.files.wordpress.com/2011/05/p5080044.jpg
