Its summer time and it’s time now to stick to the basics - The Kiss formula ( Keep it Simple Silly!) for those who don’t know…Off late i’ve come across women who’d put Picasso to shame with the kind of war paint i see on their faces!! Follow these simple tips to look your best this summer -

1) Face :Foundation is a big NO NO ! Stick to an oil free sunscreen during the day , Try the White Perfect Moisturiser .Finish with some baby powder or a matte compact.. to add the oh so flushed effect try a blush shade in a natural pink - try maybelline or revlon.For the evening try The MAC Studio Fix Compact, little bit of blush or a cheek highlighter ( try Blushbaby by MAC) will do the trick ..

2) Eyes :No Eyeshadows for the day time , a simple black kolh pencil will do the trick. For the evenng experiment with colours like a forest green from the MAC summer Colour palette .. Add a hint of mascara and finish with an eye pencil.

3) Lips :This is one area where women mess up big time! No dark shades or matte lipsticks.. Try sticking with a lipbalm during the day .. try the Body Shop lipbalm in flavours like strawberry or rasberry (totally yum!!)
For an evening out stick to lip glosses in nude shades.. MAC has an amazing collection.. pick their lipglass !

4) Fragrance : what you wear really matters .. steer away from the strong floral fumes .. try something aquatic like a davidhoff Cool water or something with hints of citrus like Green Tea Summer by Elizabeth Arden..

Though MAC is heavy on the pocket when it comes to buying it , its a complete investment for your face ! check out www.maccosmetics.com for more information on their products or visit their store at PVR juhu.

Until next time .. Stay gorgeous

I’ve just come back from what i feel was the best ever managed and organised show in the past couple years! The Goa Fest 2007 was the most beautifully constructed structure. Held at the Cavelossim Beach in South Goa over two days (20th and 21st of april) , the expanse of the beach was turned into one big hangar. One saw everyone from the advertising and media world. Film makers , copywriters, ad gurus, creative heads so on and so forth. Rain dances to sunset parties , poi dancers to limbo dancers,kingfisher to blackdog, brazillian dancers to perfomances by the Priscilla Queens …we had it all. One got to see some awesome creative work over 2 days. The award ceremonies thrilled the participants
There was a buzz in the air at all times, lots of energy , millions of ideas , truck loads of humor, the killig heat ( the rain dances made up for it though), good food,hip shaking music… the beach was converted into one big advertising fair. 2000 people and more .. the place was buzzing with activity. If you were not here .. then i’d say you missed it.. but then there’s always next year .
