Make up artists swear by gel liners and the liner that we are going to talk about today is from MAC.

It is an ultra smooth formula that provides precision of a liquid liner and an amazing smooth finish. It is water proof, smudge proof and long wearing. The application is smooth and easy with a liner brush. The fluid line is such that it can be blended easily immediately after application. Works wonders for Smokey eye looks.

It comes in about seven colours.

Our Take – Works really well. Though one needs to be careful of the product drying up quickly.

Market price – Rs. 1000/- approx.

Today we are going to talk about a  product that has been used in the upcoming Make Up Tutorial video. It is the Shiseido Eyeliner pencil duo in the shade D2.

The two shades are Desert Dusk and Desert Obscure. The darker shade is a brown shade with velvety finish and the other shade is light beige with a frost finish. The eye pencil is creamy and easy to apply. It being waterproof and smudge proof can be easily be applied in and around the eyes.

The Trick – If you have small eyes and want your eyes to look big, apply the light beige colour into the lower waterline. Go with a darker shade on the lower lash line. This gives a larger appearance to your eyes.

Our Take –  It’s a high end product and is certainly expensive. Being beige toned it goes well with Indian skin tone and is readily available in the Indian market.

Price Range – Rs 1250/-.

We leave you with some tips for makeup in winters:

•  Dry Skin is a fact of winters and we all learn to deal with it in our own way. But dry skin plays havoc with make-up and we have to learn to deal with it also. To avoid the telltale flakes after the application of foundation be sure to keep your skin moisturized. Follow a regular routine: moisturize daily and exfoliate a couple times a week.
• You can also add a bit of lotion to your liquid foundation to get a smooth finish.
• Drink Lots of water as it helps in maintaining skin hydration, all said this is best way to a healthy-looking and glowing skin always.
