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.

Altuzarra or Aquazzura?

That is the question. It took me a whole season to finally tell these two brands apart, and this season, there's no mistake, each brand is now engraved in my fashion database like a personalized Tiffany's pen. And this Resort 2015 season, I'm head over heels with their flats, on display now at AlOthman Boutique . Altuzarra's version comes in a tonal-gray water snake and are decorated with beige shells, red beads and silver sequins. Aquazzura's lace-up sandals come in a beautiful shade of apple green, and will work with white or bright colored casual summer outfit. After much thought and sole-searching, I have decided to go for the Altuzarra sandals. They're safely stored in my closet, waiting for the dust and the cold to go away. Which pair would you go for?

To New Beginnings...

"What did this Corona crisis teach you?" my friend asked. My first thought was thing crisis has opened my eyes on the simple pleasures of life. My priorities have changed. And I feel every day is a new beginning. First of all, it made me realize how much I miss blogging. How simple and mentally satisfying it was to jolt down my thoughts on a field that I was very passionate about. I have to admit that I'm not as passionate now. Don't get me wrong, I still like fashion, but it's now on the bottom of my priorities list. I would like to blog about other things too that I feel much related to. I recently discovered that I do enjoy cooking. For the longest time, cooking to me was a nightmare. This corona crisis has taught us that we can look forward to a new day with new possibilities to contribute or to help another, or to simply approach things differently, and most importantly to make the most of each day we have and share that goodness with others.
