An ode to Indian Beauty


Yousef Al-Taher has graciously shared with us his favorite moments during Paris Haute Couture Week, but now it’s time to shift our focus from Paris to Delhi, where six day long annual Pearls Delhi Couture Week has begun a few days ago, showcasing the collections of well-known designers like Manish Malhotra and JJ Valaya.

And since M.A.C is the official Hair and Makeup sponsor of Pearl’s Delhi Couture Week, you will get insight on the latest beauty trends highlighted by their top-tier makeup artists headed by Mickey Contractor, MAC Director of Makeup Artist and Vimi Joshi, M.A.C Senior Artist.

So let’s start with Manish Malhotra’s show, how this look relates to M.A.C's AW10 trends? “This look is Bollywood glamour meets Spanish flamenco”.  Expressed Vimi. “If M.A.C’s satin eye trend married the red velvet trend, this look would be their creative collaboration, it’s eyes and lips”.
So what M.A.C products were used to create that glamorous look?
Skin: Fix+ and Studio moisture cream
Face: Studio sculpt foundation and Studio finish concealer
Eye: Eye kohl in Smolder on the waterline, eye shadow in Print on the lower lash line, on the upper eyelid cream color base in Pearl as a base then eye shadow in Woodwinked from the inner corner to half of the lid and Print on the outer corner of the lid. Fluidline in Black track to line the eyes and reflects in gold on the inner corner and center of the eyelid and Zoomblack mascara.
Brows: Filled and groomed
Cheeks: Minerlize Skinfinsh, blush in Gingerly and eye shadow motif on the apples of the cheeks
Lips: Lip pencil in Current all over lips, lipstick in Diva and Amarous in center of the lips.

Chanel Bags on Discount?!

If you thought that getting a cheap Chanel bag that's within your budget is something too far fetched, then think again. You'll be surprised to know that Chanel's boutique located at Salhiya Complex is currently selling several bags, that are a maximum 1 or 2 seasons old, on discount . And we're not talking about a 2 or 5% discount here, these bags are 50% off their original price! For some reason I always thought that Chanel bags never go on sale. But I guess the printed ones or the ones that are made out of the collection's main fabric have to go on sale. Anyways, I managed to take photos of these 2 beauties. What I love about those bags is that they're a classic shape that never goes out of style, their print is young and refreshing, plus they're quilted. I think they could be a collector's item. Both bags featured here are sold for approximately KD 250 .
