Hey guys!

I know I've been slacking and it’s been a while since I posted anything but I’m back with this new upload.

My favourite time of the day is the golden hour. One hour after sunrise and one hour before the sunset is the golden hour where there is a yellow golden hue in the sky. The sun is not too harsh that means it is the ideal time to click wonderful, aesthetic pictures. Your skin looks like you’ve been bathing in gold and all the imperfections of your skin blur out. The best part about it is that how glowy your skin looks, bonus points if you’re wearing a highlighter as it will pop out like the jewels on Queen Liz’s crown. Everything is just majestic about this hour.

Although it is monsoon right now in India, and it’s gloomy all day you can still wear this look while you’re out and about.

The key for a golden hour makeup look is lots of bronzer and lots of highlighter. So if you plan to ever have a photoshoot during this hour, or just want to simply serve some looks, here’s my go to routine which you can follow.

Before starting my makeup I prep my skin with rose water or aloe vera juice. I use the ones from Kama Ayurveda. I just spritz it over my face and wait till it dries down and then continue with the rest of my makeup. They hydrate my skin and I highly recommend it for people with really oily skin like mine.

My hands usually reach out for the rose water as it is more refreshing and wakes up my skin.

Here’s the makeup look and below that I’ve listed all the products I used to create this look.

Thank you!

Hello lovely people!

This is another foundation review. This time it is the Becca Ultimate Coverage Complexion Crème. I’ve heard many good things about this foundation and wanted to try it for myself. I’m so glad that Sephora India sells Becca Cosmetics. I’m a huge fan of this brand and the way they present their products. Anyways, onto the review.

The foundation comes in this cute bottle which is basically its not a glass bottle, which means easy travelling. Although, recently they changed their packaging to a see trough glass bottle. It comes with a pump, this is the biggest requirement for a foundation bottle, or at least for me. It just makes everything less messy.

I bought it in the shade Olive, which looked well when I tried it on at the store however it is slightly lighter than my skin tone but bronzing my face would just solve that problem. So if you’re NC42 in MAC you can just go a shade or two darker.

So the company says that this is a full coverage, water resistant foundation which will last 24 hours. It is a water based foundation with a natural finish. The last two words really caught my eyes and made me buy the foundation. Sometimes my skin is dry like the Sahara desert and sometimes it’s so oily that it gets mistaken it for the Middle East. So a dewy or a matte foundation wouldn’t be ideal for such days, and for that reason a natural finish foundation seems to be the perfect fit.

I did a small wear test because I was just too excited to try this foundation out. I found out that this is more of a medium to full coverage foundation as it did not completely cover all of my dark spots from acne. I had to build up the foundation in those areas to cover it up. But oh my god this foundation feels like you’re not wearing any makeup. It’s so lightweight that even if you put an extra layer it won’t settle in your crease. So you can even use this as an everyday foundation. It’s just so lightweight, I love such foundations as you can wear them with any kind of look.

This foundation definitely smells like MAC foundations which I think is a common scent for many other foundations too. I had applied it using my real techniques complexion sponge and it works well with it.

I really did like this foundation except for the part where it’s not my exact shade. In India you can buy it from any Sephora store or from their online store too. Also did I mention that Becca cosmetics is a cruelty free brand? Well now you know it.

I hope this review was helpful. Stay tuned for more such reviews. Thank you!
