In an attempt to create some fantastic eerie, gothic yet reminiscent of a lot of elegance kind of photographs, we managed to ruffle a few feathers in the mall. (Read: mall guards)
Does that make any difference in the larger picture where I got to combine the stunning and classically elegant jewellery by Minawala and the magic of the make up brushes of the talented Sakshi Malik in Delhi. The answer would have to be a no.
The idea behind picking these particular jewellery pieces and this kind of styling was to create an editorial that highlights the versatility of this jewellery. The long chandelier earrings with successive flowers, the chunky statement ring with the use of rubies and diamonds and the classic bracelet with a spray of diamonds in a structural format could work wonders with your lehenga for your best friend's wedding just as much as they could with a snake print camisole and leather pants a la Pantera loving rocker chic.
There is no marriage that works just as harmoniously as that of the right jewellery and the right make up. Make up artist extraordinaire Sakshi has worked on a dramatic look complete with false eye lashes and full oxblood lips and smokey eyes to complement the shades of winter and fall as seen in the jewellery.

The break up of the make up used:
Started
off my prepping the skin with himalaya cleanser and toner. Followed by biotique
morning nectar moisturising lotion. Then I applied the 'stila one step correct'
primer with a foundation brush. I used MAC studio finish concealer in shades NC
42 and 35 on the under eyes, forehead, under the lower lip and also on the
sides of the lips. Then I used 'bourjois healthy mix foundation' in shade 56
all over the face, neck and ears with a stippling brush. I contoured the
cheeks, jaw line and nose with foundations in shades 'almond' and 'warm walnut'
from my Bobbi Brown BBU palette. Also used my MAC bronzing powder in shade
'matte bronze' on the cheek bones. Secured it all with MAC translucent
powder.
Eyes-
first applied my eye primer by 'two faced'. Then used a cream pigment in pearl
from my illamasqua reflection palette. Used a pearly eye shadow from my NYX
palette on top. MAC Prunella to line the eye lids and blended that with MAC
eyeshadow 'sketch' and used it on the crease line. Also used black shimmer eye shadow
from my NYX palette on the crease line. Defined the eye brows with black eye
shadow from my screenface palette. Mascara used was 'great lash' from
maybelline. And used fake lashes 'sultry' that I got from primark, London. Used
prunella under the water line too to give a smudged effect. Last I used 'rice
paper' from MAC on the brow bone as a high lighter.
Cheeks-
contouring with the Mac bronzer.
Lips-
prepped with a lip balm. Then applied MAC lip pencil in shade 'nightmoth'. Used
revlon lipstick in shade 'black cherry'.
