Your skincare routine?
I prefer a no make up look with healthy skin showing through. I drink a lot of water and eat fresh fruits. I do not overload my skin with make up. I stick to the basics like a dab of concealer, a little translucent powder, masacara and some lipstick.
You'd be aghast if...
I caught myself ever using runny kajal! It looks and feels awful. I'd advise people to stay away from kohl and eyeliner. Keep your eye make up light in summer.
What kind of look wins your approval?
Fresh, dewy sheer skin with just a hint of colour. Bright lipsticks and nude eyes work well. Go bright on your lips for the night, bring out the sheens and shines, fake lashes and kohl for a glam evening but pack them away during the day.
Any beauty secrets that you'd like to share?
Use cream blushers to add a healthy glow to your skin. Use powder eye shadows and not creamy ones as they fold into your creases and look tacky. Use lip tints. They are easy to apply and perfect to wear during the day. Shop for waterproof mascara. No make up is complete without it.
