MORNING FACE

My mornings are by far the busiest part of my day. I shuffle between settling my baby into his routine and getting dressed for work. So I don’t have the luxury of spending half an hour on make-up. I start by scrubbing my face and then moisturising it. Next, I apply concealer to cover up imperfections and even out my skin tone. Then, some blush to add a natural colour to my cheeks. I finish if off with a hydrating lip balm.

Try the Lakmé Absolute White Intense Concealer Stick for quick coverage.

MID-DAY FACE

The afternoon is usually when I have a lunch meeting with my team. At this point, I use setting powder to keep the shine at bay. I also build on my look by applying eyeliner and mascara to open the eyes up. I’m obsessed with extended eyeliner because I think it makes your eyes look bigger.

Try the Lakmé Absolute White Intense Wet and Dry Compact to keep shine away and the Lakmé Absolute Flutter Secrets Dramatic Eyes Mascara to add some life to your lashes

SUNSET FACE

On most evenings, I’m attending a fashion soiree somewhere in the city. Events like these always involve a lot of socialising and my muted day look isn’t really appropriate. So I first add some highlighter to the high points of my cheekbones, this instantly takes the look from day to night. After that, I refresh my blush and pull the look together with a bold coloured lip. Bright lip colours naturally brighten up your face so I always opt for one in a shade of pink.

The Lakmé Absolute Sun Kissed Bronzer will take your look from day to night in a pinch!

AFTER DARK FACE

At night, my look transitions into a bold one. I usually wear a smokey eye in a combination of blacks, browns, golds and tans to add some intensity. I always add bronzer because that automatically creates depth, and it also looks like I’ve spent a fair amount of time getting dressed for this event. For the final touch, I add a bright, tangy red lip.
