Mystical Es Vedra

Es Vedra is the name of an island off the coast of Ibiza (the Spanish party island). It is the most popular place in Ibiza to see the sunset.  The sunset in Es Vedra is known for it's beautiful orange and pink color.  It is also the inspiration for Charlotte Tilbury's Es Vedra beach stick. 

Charlotte Tilbury's Beach Stick in Es Vedra is part of Charlotte's 'Makeup in a Minute' Range.  It is a coral hued lip and cheek color in a stick form.  It comes in a roll up tube in Charlotte's signature rose gold packaging.

The color is supposed to be highly pigmented and goes on smooth and creamy. For application on your cheeks, you are supposed to apply the product on your cheek bones and blend it into your skin.

On my skin tone (Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder shade 9), the first application on my cheeks is very sheer.  It feels like a swipe of gold sparkles (which seems to be blended into this color).  It requires a few swipes of this product for the color to show up on my skin tone.  It is easy to blend and creamy in texture.  Once the color is visible, it appears as a deep coral leaning more towards a reddish shade of coral.

On my lips, as my natural lip shade is darker, again, it requires a few application for this product to show color.  After a few swipes, it appears as a reddish brown color on my lips.  The product is light but not lasting.

It's an easy product to apply but for the size (which is quite small - 0.23oz / 6.5g) the price feels a little on the high side.

$45 at Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus
$33 at Net-a-porter

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 ...
