How does one find the correct foundation colour?

Never check the colour of your foundation on the back of your hand. It’s one ofthebiggest beauty myths! the colour of your hands will always vary from that of your face, as hands and arms tend to tan faster. Test the colour of your foundation on the area just under your cheek bone and above your jaw line in a well lit place. I always tend to go for a shade lighter, as I believe that foundation tends to darken a couple of hours after application.

What was the first beauty or makeup product you purchased?

Hashmi Kajal, back in my O Level days.

What’s the first product you put on in the morning and the last you put on at night?

Josie Maran Argon oil in the days and Kiehl’s ultra facial cream at night.

What’s a product that you regret using?

There are products I’ve stopped using because I’ve found better replacements but I don’t think I’ve ever really regretted using a product. Although, I do regret bleaching my face when I was younger. It’s a terrible decision to bleach your face regularly.

What is your must-have lip shade this summer?

I have to give two names, here. No woman is complete without the perfect red andtheperfect nude shade. Pink Dusk by Tom Ford and Russian Red by M.A.C are always in my kit!

What is your favourite summer beauty look?

Beautiful clean skin, shimmery eyes, fluttery eyelashes and a pop of colour on the lips!

Is there a beauty product you just can’t live without?

I can’t live without my sunblock and lipstick! I use Kiehl’s ultra light daily UV defense SPF 50.

Desi totka you swear by:

My favourite Desi totka has to be Saafi. It may taste vile but does wonders for the skin tried and tested. if you’re not taking care internally, no external totka shall be of any help. Also, water is the world’s best magic beauty potion. Drinking plenty of water will not only make a big difference to the health of your skin, it will give you shinier hair and a healthier body, too. g
