Panko

Looking for a great nude lipstick for darker skin tones? One that is very flattering for brown skin tones and is light and moisturizing and goes on smooth? Look no further than bareMinerals Panko.






Panko is from the bareMinerals Gen Nude Radiant lipstick collection.  According to bareMinerals, it is supposed to have medium coverage and is meant to have a rich creamy texture and radiant shine.

Panko generally refers to breadcrumbs that are used to coat food before frying or baking it.   The bareMinerals Panko lipstick is a soft brown color with a hint of coral in it.











 

The pros: it goes on very smooth and does have a creamy texture and is high shine.  It can be used  with or without lip liner.  In the pic below, the top image is without lip liner and the bottom image is with lip liner (Chanel - Spice lip liner). My lips felt like I was wearing lip balm and it was comfortable to wear and not drying at all. It does have medium coverage but two swipes will give you a nice color with radiant shine.

The cons - it wears off really quickly (like within an hour) even without any eating or drinking.   You are then left with a softer version of the color.  You will have to reapply a few times during the day. 
The below image shows bareMinerals Panko after one hour of regular use.

Chanel Les Beiges Water Fresh Tint Foundation in Medium Deep.

Something that always bothers me especially during COVID times when most of us are predominantly shopping online, is a well funded cosmetic / makeup brand failing to properly display shades of its product on their website. It's 2021. Online shopping is not a novelty. There should be no excuses for this sort of shoddy marketing.  Case in point, the Chanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Tint foundation on the Chanel website (or Macys , or Bloomingdales ) website.   On the Chanel website, there is only one color swatch. No swatches on how it looks on various skin tones (even if those look awfully photoshopped). Minimum details about color and the color names are different on the retailer website and colors mislabeled across websites.  I don't blame the retailers in this case as I think they get their pictures & details from the Chanel website.  However, Chanel could do a better job with their marketing of this product.  Chanel Les Beiges Water Fresh Tint in Medium Dee...

Natural Makeup Look for Indian Brides

When I got married many, many, many years ago, I was super adamant that I was going to do my own makeup.  I'm of Indian origin and I celebrated my wedding in India. In the wedding planning stage, I considered a lot of makeup artists, many who came highly recommend.   However, I found there was a disconnect between what I wanted and what the makeup artist thought was the ideal wedding makeup. Even during my makeup trials, I found that they were almost unwilling to listen to what I wanted because their perception of the 'ideal' wedding makeup. The standard Indian brides makeup look at that time was so fundamentally different to what I considered to be ideal for me. Anytime, I went in for a facial in India, the facialist would always recommend a 'light bleaching agent' as a 'cleanser' to get an 'instant glow'. This would horrify me. I could never understand why anyone would put any sort of 'bleaching agent' however mild on their FACE or any ...
