My Make Up Routine | Ahaana Krishna

Today I'm going to do a video that I've been waiting to do for a long time.

Today I'm gong to do makeup video.

I have a couple of makeup options, like the ones that can be done in 2, 5,10 minutes.

As well as the ones that can be done taking a lot of time and patience.

I'll show you guys each one of these in future.

Today, since I have a lot of time and patience. I'm going to do that version of my makeup.

That is one that i will do in detail taking ample amount of time.

Right now, I've preped my skin. Which I have shown in plenty of videos. You should never apply makeup directly on your skin.

Let's start! Before that, I've to tie my hair because you can't do makeup leaving ot open.

When we do makeup, the one thing we should keep in mind is that...

Makeup should be done to enhance our features.

So after applying makeup we shouldn't look like a painted version of someone.

Makeup should be done with the concept, less is more.

The beauty of this is when it is done subtly and not by over doing it.

When it is over-done, no will ever say you have applied a lot of makeup and it looks super. People will only say it looks funny.

So the beauty is when you apply just enough makeup that is required for your skin.

That is good. So let's start! These are the products that I use for makeup.

That's it. Its very less. You might be wondering why is this water bottle kept here.

It's not for the face, but it's for me to drink.

If you do makeup taking a lot of time. Then do keep a bottles of water there. I have heard people saying...

Like if you are doing in taking a lot of time. But if you are in hurry to go somewhere, then it won't be meditative.

If you take time and do, then it will definitely be seen. It will blended all nicely and all.

Let's begin.

Today, since I'm taking time to do this there will be a lot of steps. I have preped by skin properly now.

Before that, this is something which i use. This is not this small, it was longer. But it broke off.

I started using this a while ago. I use it before going to sleep as well as when i wake up in the morning.

It improves the blood circulation in our face and it's a stone so it gives that coolness to our face.

This is a Chinese tool. Both of these come together. You must have seen it in instagram.

It's good for the jawbone.

Our face has muscles, nerves and blood circulation. So when we do things like this, it is very relaxing to the face.

And when we do it in the evening, we will get sleepy as well.

Now let's start the main thing.

The first thing i use is this concealer.

I've this under eye, because when i was in school i wanted to be studious. So i used to go for tuitions early in the morning.

Now when I think about it, i think it was useless. Because I am not learning or doing anything related to those things right now.

So i got these dark circles because i used to go for tuitions early in the morning.

It's almost over, I've to get a new one.

When i work with a lot of makeup artists, they mostly use brush. But my tool is my hand.

I apply a little under my eye.

Then areas you want...

Otherwise, it'll look weird.

I have just covered the areas i want to conceal using this concealer.

For blending we use beauty blender. But we cannot use it directly on our face.

We should drench it in water first. Then we should squeeze out the excess water.

Now when we use this blender, since it has moisture, it will will blend the makeup well. It'll have a translucent look.

It would look natural.

Now, we will blend it out very well.

Now, i have blended it. I feel proud because it looks better than how i do it regularly.

You can see the dark circles concealed pretty well and it looks real.

I'm actually still confused now. But this one has concealer written on top of it.

This is from a brand called PAC

This foundation is from a brand called Kay by Katrina

I can't tell that story, because it's my friend's personal story.

The fact that i like about this is, it is an hydrating foundation. It is very light.

It had avacado butter, so it's soft on the skin and glides through skin and all.

And you can see skin through it. That is another point, the natural texture of your skin should be seen.

It shouldn't look like a painting.

So i took a little bit of this and I'm applying it.

Again under eye and neck. Then you can apply it here and there on your skin.

Next pour water to this beauty blender. You don't have to wet it all the time. But i like it to be dripping wet.

Another thing i do is this, so that i don't waste any of the product.

Now blend it out slowly without any rush. If the makeup looks patchy here and there, then it will look bad.

Next, i again wet the beauty blender and run it through my face for my satisfaction.

So if there is any excess product, it will be gone according to my imagination.

After the concealing the dark circles are all gone. But you can still see my acne and the natural texture of my skin.

Next we will...

We will fill eyebrows.

Till a while ago, i was fond of heavily filling the brows. Recently, i lost that fondness and only do it for a formality.

Let's do it.

My eyebrow pencil has a brush, so i comb it out first.

I'm not someone who meticulously thread my eyebrows because I'm not too concerned about them.

I like it grown here and there.

So i have just filled my eyebrows for namesake.

I do this with my middle finger, so the beginning of the eyebrows looks imperfect.

I don't like it drawn sharply so i smudge it. After some makeup artists does my eyebrows, i usually do this.

They ask me what I'm doing. I'll tell them that i like it this way.

So i have done my eyebrows for namesake.

Next let's do eye shadow. I forgot which brand i use. I think it's Maybelline.

Also, i am not someone who experiments with a lot of eyeshadow colours. I use the exact same one for years now.

You can see my pallet, i haven't used any of the other colours at all.

I just use this.

It's the same thing about a restaurant, no matter how many times i go to a restaurant if i like something the first time, I'll only buy that particular item.

This colour when we use, its not prominent.

It doesn't look like a heavy eyeshadow, but it will give a colour to the top of the eyelid.

I haven't done much to this eye. But it still looks nice. Right?

Let's do the same to the other eye.

After this, using a tissue we can smudge the edges. So it won't look hard, but it'll look soft.

I found these out by myself.

Baking is done by putting compact underneath eye while doing eyeshadow. These things are done by professionals.

I am not interested in doing such things. Next let's line the eyes.

For a long time, i wasn't interested in this. I did tell you there were many categories of makeup, right?

In that if there is no-makeup makeup, then i do not line my eyes.

Since this is not, i will line my eyes. But I'm stressed about this, because i want to get both the eyes equally done.

So i start with eyeliner.

I like this beginning portion to be thin.

I think it's fair enough on both the sides.

I use the eyeliner to draw thin lines in the end portions. But for the middle portion, i use kajal to make it look thick.

The last thing about the eye, is the mascara.

For that, i like it this way which a makeup artist did for me a long time ago.

What i do is, the lashes in the tip i make it darker. So it looks like it's open at the ends.

In my 2 minute makeup, the only thing i put is my blush.

This is Bobbi brown's blush called pot rouge. I saw someone in instagram tell about this and i got it.

This is pale pink. I think this suits the normal Indian shade. The have other shades as well. But it's not that evident.

I know i look like chutki in chotta Bheem. But I'm not done.

I applied it using this finger and i then transfer it to both my hands. Further i blend it.

I use my hands and blend it for a while. You don't have to apply this much, but i like it.

I like this flushed out look, so when we blend it for a while, it'll get blended to our skin.

You don't have wear so much of blush, but i like to wear it this way.

When we apply powdered blush, it'll have those grains on face. I feel so.

So the advantage of this creamy blush is that it blends to the skin. Also when it mixes with the sweat it creates another glow.

It adds colour to our blank face.

The last step is lipstick. You can apply lip balm if you are going for glossy look. But for today, im going with a matte look.

This is Nykaa's totes natural lipstick. I got this in 2018, its really old.

After blush you can apply highlighter, but for me my highlighter phase is over. I had it for quite a while.

I used to but it here and it used to shine. But i am not currently into it right now.

Also you can line your lips using liner. But today, i don't have the liner dor this shade.

I also don't have the feel for it as well. So i am just going to put it.

I wanted to do this since a long time.

I really thought the day i do this, i might spill something and it'll be a mess.

But no, everything went well.

What i wanted to say is that,

It is good to wear makeup, also make sure that you have a makeup remover with you as well.

The same effort you put in applying makeup should also be put in when you remove it.

Remove it very well and wash your face. Otherwise it's a horrible habit.

So let me go change and I'll show you guys my final look.
