Ruby Woo, Why, Yes, I do!

A bold red lipstick is such a classic. The right shade of red will instantly transform your face.  It is confidence, glamour, sophistication all rolled up in a little tube.  Every woman should have at least one power red lipstick that suits her complexion and transforms her face. 

I’m always on the hunt for that perfect red lipstick.  And trying to find the right shade of red is a little bit of a struggle.   Every time I see a great shade of red on a friend or in a magazine I get this impulse to purchase it.  However, most times, when I try it on me, it looks all wrong.  It shows up as either a plum / maroon shade or it turns out too orange.  And for some reason, magazines always seem to recommend a Plum / Maroon shade of 'red' for darker complexions which drives me crazy. I am always on the look out for a true red, a red that shows up as a true red against my brown skin.


In comes the classic MAC cosmetic shade of red 'Ruby Woo'.  Ruby Woo is from the MAC Retro Matte collection.  This shade was really a game changer for me.  I used to be really reluctant to wear reds before this but after this I can't stop! This is a true intense red lipstick. It comes in a matte formulation but is not drying.  It is also long wearing but will need a touch up after eating or drinking.


Another great part of this shade is that it comes with a matching lip liner also in 'Ruby Woo' which is great because you don't have to mess around trying to find a matching lip liner.

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 ...
