PS: This post is a compiled effort from all the indian beauty bloggers. I blindly followed their suggestions and was never dissappointed.

I have already written a post on the necessity for every bride-to-be to know a little bit of make-up and on how was my 1st successful make-up trial.

  1. Hi Aditi, I like your list of make up essentials. I have really never tried to use eye lash curler though I want to use it but never felt comfortable with it.Can you please tell me a easy way of using it so that I don't harm my eyes also.

    1. I had the same phobia! It looks dreadful. But then read a lot about how it transforms the look of your eyes into something amazing. Surprisingly it’s so easy to use that you need not take any extra efforts. Just take the plunge!
      Method: Clamp your eyelashes in between the curler for about 15-20 seconds.
