Deepika Padukone India Couture Week Inspired Makeup Tutorial

Hi girls, Today’s video is really special for me. I created this look inspired by the beautiful Deepika Padukone. she looked absolutely gorgeous in the stunning couture line by the celebrity designer Manish Malhotra. Please note that I am no way trying to look like her. My facial features are no where near the gorgeous Deepika Padukone. What I am trying to do is – my own version of the makeup she wore for ICW 2016. I have created a simple Classic smokey eye look paired with a nude lipstick. This look can be worn regardless of day/night. A very nice and glowy party makeup. You can also substitute an intense lip color for a bold look too.

A hand blended range of luxury natural skincare products including face care, bodycare and bath products that focus on being safe, natural, fresh, sensuously luxurious, free from ingredients including parabens, SLS, mineral oils, artificial perfumes or colour additives.

Nellie Tier is my favorite “Made in New Zealand'” brand and there is not even a single product in this brand that ever failed on me.

Under Eye care is often not taken care by most of us. With endless hours of browsing, Most of us have panda eyes. Even though, we apply under eye cream. That alone is not sufficient to take away those tiredness underneath your eye area. I love using refreshing gels under my eyes. It gives an instant cooling effect and it gives that extra boost before applying my regular eye cream. An eye gel is a must have skincare product and when I found out Nellie Tier has one, I was super excited to try it. Especially, the ingredients – green tea and cucumber drew my attention.

I love the method of placing brewed tea bags underneath my eye area for 5-10 minute. Green tea bags reduce swelling and tighten the skin around the eyes. Reduce puffiness and relax tired eyes. The caffeine reduces puffiness by shrinking the blood vessels. Cucumber slices / placing cotton soaked in cucumber juice reduce the appearance of under eye darkness and puffiness – now, having said that- who on earth ahve time or these home remedies any which ways. 🙂 There comes to your rescue – this magic under eye gel from Nellie Tier – Nellie Tier Eye Gel is a soothing and refreshing gel that is cooling and gentle around your eyes. With nourishing Green Tea & soothing Cucumber.

Nellie Tier Green Tea & Cucumber Eye Gel – NZ$30.00
