What did you think of Neha pairing red with red ?
I thought it looked fabulous ! The hair and makeup is fairly simple with the red lipstick acting out the main part !
Pairing red with red; be it red shoes with red dress or red lipstick with red dress is always a tricky thing. If the red on her dress was a different red from that on her lips, it would have been disastrous but since the shades were similar - they paired perfectly ! And that's a rule to go by - pair them only if one is sure that the colors are almost as similar as it gets !
Also I love that it wasn't a glossy, shiny red. A matte / satin one works best anywhere ( as far as red goes) just as it did here. One real pretty red with a easy satin finish would be the #53 Brilliant Red from The Body Shop Color Glide Lip Colors.
Its Friday, y'all ! No point stating the obvious but what plans for tonight ?
Love,
Indian Girl

The Only Thing I Feel Like....
I have loads and loads and loads of stuff to share with y'all !
I must tell you about this new blush + bronzer duo that I am crazy about. I swear I went to bed last night excited I could wear it again and woke up this morning excited to finally be able to wear it.
But I'm not gonna talk about it now...
And then I must tell you about our partnership with HerCut which will give all of us a chance to get our burning Hairstyling questions answered by Kyan Douglas from Queer Eye.
Isn't that awesome !
But No I don't feel like writing about it, either.
Then there is list of hand creams to love / hate. News about a concealer designed with me - a medium skin tone brown girl in mind.
But nope - I don't feel like doing any of this.
All I wanna do is tell y'all about Wayne. Yeah I'm on first name basis with him.
As is the rest of the world but we're not talking about the world, are we.
Lets talk about Wayne.
6ft Tall.
Blond Hair
Green eyes
Like that isn't enough he is a brilliant makeup artist too ! If there is only one youtube guru I could follow for the rest of my beauty blogging life it would be him.
(I'd follow literally too, except I'd be called a stalker. And we don't ever wanna be called that.)
Wayne is a professional makeup artist who has just the most useful makeup tips. You cannot have a bad makeup day if you listen hard enough. And it is hard to listen when such a handsome man is talking. Not just talking but winking too....
Please subscribe to him. I pay more attention to him talking than I ever did to any professor at school. Except for the one who rode in on a Harley. But that's another story for another time.
And if you do follow him / subscribe to his videos or plan on commenting, do leave him a note saying - Indian Girl from An Indian's Makeup Blog sent me here.

Clinique Long Last Soft Shine Lipstick - Twilight Nude : Swatches
How would you describe the color Twilight Nude ?
(you've seen the movie right ? Its about vampires and their purple-y lips)
This is how I describe it - A purple-y grape color that mimics the twilight vampire's lips but still looks natural, alive and wearable every single day. A hint of shimmer will make it perfection...
Check that lipstick I just described in action. Nothing to be scared of here !
The Long Last Soft Shine Lipsticks ($14) have a brilliant formula - just moisturizing enough without feathering away. They have better staying power than the Clinique Butter Shine Lipsticks and a hint more color. Unlike every other long last lipstick I've tried - these do not dry out my lips nor do the colors look flat. However it is the drying, the too much pigment in other lipsticks that make them long lasting , so that's that.
I wore this yesterday with just concealer + mascara on my eyes and this blush - very wintery , very pretty !

The Body Shop Holiday Makeup Collection 2009 - Eye & Cheek Palette : Review & Swatches
Hello Ladies !
Hope you had a good night's sleep.
That's exactly what I hope. Because I did not until 2 AM. My neighbors lost their clock and forgot the concept of Inside Voices - hence the above. But we wont talk about that....
Lets talk about happy things like this little makeup palette that comes packaged like a jewelry box. I know this because my mom has a set of pearls that came in a similar casing. Anything that comes in a jewelery like casing makes the best gift ! It has four eyeshadow ( frosty lilac , frosty purple, gray, shimmery black) and a pretty rose blush. The palette was for $26 but is now listed for $13 on The Body Shop site !!! At $13 its a great bargain ! You'll see why ....
The Eye & Cheek Palette is cute and is about the size of your hand. A great one to pick up and drop into your purse for a touch up later. However given the shades, I don't see one dropping it into my purse unless....
Unless you have a dinner date .
A dinner date with a tall man.
A dinner date with a tall handsome man.
A dinner date with a tall handsome man with dimples.
A dinner date with a tall handsome man with dimples and you know you will be late at work and will not have time to get back home and dress up. Then. Then I see you dropping this kit into your purse along with a nude lip gloss.
Tall handsome man with dimples loves smokey eyes and nude lips ! Its a scientifically proven fact.
Good move dropping the kit into your purse ! And, Good luck on the hot date !
Love,
Indian Girl

Hair Extensions - Yay or Nay ?
Have you tried hair extensions ?
I haven't. But I think they're fun ! Clip in clip out - much easier than spending $$$ in salons over highlights, coloring and other hair things !
Check out the blond extensions on Kim K ! They are extensions right ?
(I love the volume on top, except not on me )
Check out those rings ! They used to be all the rage in the 90's . My older cousins were all over them ! Guess they are making a comeback !
