Throughout high school, I was obsessed with magazines. I used to just comb through them and plaster things on my wall.
I'm very interested in makeup and fashion and beauty.
If you're not a makeup artist, and you just try to go for the big looks, it just gets the best of you.
I'm hoping I'll eventually get to be a beauty blogger myself because I do my own makeup, and I have for years.
I like to dress for my body type and for my coloring.
Get at least 8 hours of beauty sleep. 9 if you're ugly.
I'll admit, I'm not very skilled with applying makeup, myself, and the natural approach has always worked for me just fine.
Eyeliner changes everything! I also think a little lip-gloss or lipstick can brighten up your whole look, even after a practice when your hair is still a little bit wet!
My grandma told me never, ever, ever to use soap on my face. But I do use lotion.
You can always enhance your natural beauty; you learn what works for your face because crazy make-up doesn't really suit anyone.
For my beauty routine, it's kind of complicated. It's not easy at all. I like being natural, but natural is not really natural. To be natural, you need to have really good skin. This is really important.
The most common mistakes women make when applying makeup are not applying it in the proper light and not using their hands as blending tools.
Elizabeth Taylor taught me that if you do your hair and makeup first then take a hot bath right before you leave, it brings out your inner glow and takes away the powdery look from makeup. I do that right before every date.
With a bright-red party lipstick, just go with lots of mascara and keep everything else clean.
Nowadays, all actresses wear gowns and trot all over the place. However, our sarees would look more elegant, and yet so appealing. So, my advice to all heroines is: start wearing sarees as well, to look more beautiful!
Makeup is great, but you need to make sure you take it off at the end of the night - sleeping with it on is bad.
Now I usually try not to give advice. Information, yes, advice, no. But, what has worked for me may not work for you. Well, take for instance what has worked for me. Wigs. Tight clothes. Push up bras.
My mother persuaded me not to pluck my eyebrows when I was a teenager - right now I'm so grateful I never did! She also taught me to pour 2 kg. of salt in my bath whenever I feel swollen and tired - and to end it with a cold shower. It does wonders.
When I'm not working, I don't wear a lot of makeup. When I do, I like to accentuate my eyes and wear natural colors. I am also mindful of the proper way to apply concealer.
If you do a smoky eye, chances are you will not want to do a strong lip as well. It's never good to gild the lily.
My mum taught me that redheads shouldn't wear pink, red or orange, but if you choose the right shade, such as a bright orange or a cherry red, it can look fabulous.
If you can't find dry shampoo, baby powder is great.
As a busy working mom I'm always pressed for time, so a quick and easy beauty routine is key!
Don't contour with blush - that's so eighties. It was an amazing trend then, but it's not hot now. Instead, go for a neutral contour color that's one or two shades deeper than your skin tone.
I like the big smoky eyes look, and I always do my eyes first when I'm putting on my make-up.
