Q) What according to you is the most prominent feature of the face that requires makeup?

Q) Which is that one beauty product that you can’t live without? Name a brand you can swear on.
A) (Laughs) That’s a toughie. Not a beauty product but for me, coconut oil has always worked. It helps me remove the waterproof makeup easily and moisturizes my skin deep within. That’s my secret to an ever-glowing and healthy skin. A miracle natural ingredient every girl must use. Maybelline is effortlessly and affordably my go-to brand.

Q) What according to you is the most prominent feature of the face that requires makeup?
A) Well, there’s no one such feature that requires makeup, I’d say. Contouring, strobing and highlighting is my beauty mantra. If done right, it sculpts your face right and makes you glow.

A) Green Tea is the first thing I guzzle down. The natural elements help provide an additional supplement to my healthy and fit skin. Simple, isn’t?

Q) Who is your beauty goddess?
A) When I entered the blogging world 3-4 years ago, it was my mother who taught me about various tips and tricks. She taught me how to dress up and look smart. She taught me how to present myself in front of the world. She taught me everything related to beauty, makeup, dressing sense and moreover blogs. In short, my beauty goddess was, is and will always be my mommy.

Q) Which is that one beauty product you can’t live without? Name a brand you can swear on.
