Ditch The Reds!

Do you really need the reds to look like you’re in love? We don’t think so!

- Benaifer J. Mirza

Valentine’s Day is synonymous with heart-shaped balloons, cute teddy bears, Glenn Medeiros’ rendition of Nothing’s gonna change my love for you…and, most importantly, the colour RED! Red lipsticks, red dresses, red shoes. Sigh! If you’re one of those who is averse to reds, but still wants to looks as much in love, then here are some great ‘nonred’ make-up tips for you!

Got a lunch date? Here are two super pretty looks that you can adorn!

SOFT AND DEWY!

Meerra Mevawala, Founder and Principal, MIS – Meerra’s International School of Makeup & More, shares, “Blush pink is derived from the hues of red, which is an intermediate of red– the colour of love, and white– the colour synonymous with purity. Thus, pink is all about a subtle passion, which pours out from the freshness of love!

“Blush pink hue is sweet and flirtatious! Apply some beautiful soft pink eyeshadow, and top it with a precise thin liner on the upper lids. For the lips, opt for a muted pink moisturising lip shade. And, finally, get some sculpted cheeks with a soft pink or peach blush-on, and a touch of highlighter for that soft and dewy finish.”
