just me + makeup + desi clothes + a camera

7/9 Edited to

... Read moreSharing my experience wearing traditional desi clothes while experimenting with makeup has truly been an empowering journey. Combining vibrant fabrics with bold or subtle makeup looks allows me to express my cultural roots while showcasing modern beauty trends. Using a camera to document these moments adds an exciting layer—it helps me see the transformation more clearly and share my style with others, inspiring confidence. I often find that the right makeup look enhances the colors and intricate details of desi outfits, making each photoshoot a unique artistic expression. Lighting and angles captured by the camera also play a crucial role in highlighting the textures and designs of traditional attire. Over time, I’ve learned to coordinate makeup shades that complement my outfit's palette, whether it’s a rich maroon saree or a vibrant lehenga. For anyone interested in blending cultural fashion with personal beauty style, my tip is to embrace experimentation and capture your looks on camera. This not only boosts self-confidence but also builds a visual diary of your evolving style. Engaging with influencers and beauty communities online offers inspiration and helpful advice, especially for those exploring makeup inspired by their heritage. Ultimately, it’s about celebrating your individuality through makeup, clothes, and the art of photography.

This has been my go to routine lately except with a little twist: liquid bronzer. I avoid using skin tints, foundation, concealer and powder. This way my makeup looks like it’s fussed to my skin rather than sitting on top of it. I like using all cream or liquid products for a glowy and more
