Florian HurelWhat’s the ideal kind of eye makeup one should do with ethnic wear given that the clothes are bright colours and the jewellery is a huge part of their entire look?- Keeping the eyes neutral with brown and black shades would go well with all ethnic outfits

- Avoid overlaying liners, they may crack
- Try to use UV lights while taking pictures, neon will pop out
The wedding season is all about sangeet nights and dance performances. What kind of makeup and hair is ideal for sweat and is also long-lasting? - Waterproofing makeup for an event like this would be ideal
- Right from a waterproof foundation, to the liner, kohl and mascara
- Using mattifying products like foundation and powder especially on the oily areas
- Keeping sponge/ mulmul (soft cotton) material to damp on the skin while sweating. (It will soak the sweat but not take the makeup off)
- Smokey kohl, liner, soft smokey eyes, pop colour on the lashes, pop colour on the lower lash are some options of eye makeup
How should one take care of one’s skin in the Holiday and wedding season for the natural glow?- Using a hydrating serum/ moisturiser
