MONSOON MAKEUP TIPS BY CELEBRITY MAKEUP EXPERT OF PAM SALON, SPA & MAKEUP- PINKY ASNANI (PAM)

Experience of more than 20 years in Makeup, Lifestyle & Hospitality Industry- Makeup expert Pinky Asnani (PAM) gave monsoon makeup tips and showcased some monsoon friendly day & night looks on actresses Shweta Khanduri & Smita Gondkar

Though monsoons are the most loved season of the year certainly not makeup friendly, so to help the girls be at their glamorous best, celebrity makeup guru Pinky Asnani (PAM) shared some monsoon makeup tips and exhibited her monsoon friendly day & night looks on actresses and model Shweta Khanduri & Smita Gondkar “Today I showed some monsoon looks on Shweta Khanduri & Smita Gondkar who are blessed with such beautiful features. I went for a day look for Shweta and kept it subtle & simple. On the other hand I did a glamorous makeup look for Smita which is more appropriate for the night. Both the looks are apt for monsoon and the products I have used are also inexpensive which will cater to everyone’s needs”

Owner of PAM Salon, Spa & Makeup, Pinky Asnani (PAM) said “Monsoon though is a season that everyone looks out for yet it comes with its own do’s and don’ts list. The heavy downpour would just mess up the complete look and leave you behind looking like a disaster than otherwise. Rain can even melt the makeup which you have applied over your face if proper protection based make up is not applied”

Sharing some Do’s & Don’ts for the Monsoon season, Pinky Asnani (PAM) mentioned “To start with, try to avoid foundation as much as you can. Instead replace foundation with face powder. This to an extent will help in keeping the look intact even if you get drenched. Use cream blushers instead of powder or any other type of blushes in the monsoon. The mantra is to use as less blush as you possibly can. Even if you get wet in rain remember to just dab it with a tissue and not rub it all over your face. When it comes to blushes, blending is the ultimate keyword. While applying blush on your cheeks blend it in the outward direction. Let it look natural and not like a cakey look. Use more pastel colors during monsoon. Keep it subtle and beautiful”

Actress Shweta Khanduri said “I loved the look which Pinky did on me. Summers and Monsoon are two seasons where surviving the day without letting the makeup melt is a task but today while Pinky was doing my makeup I learnt some make up hacks which will be very useful when I want to look my best inspite of the rains”

Actress Smita Gondkar said “The makeup look was lovely. Makeup is something every girl loves but at times we can’t achieve the look what we want or even if do it melts due to rains. Pinky is so talented that she made the impossible, possible. I loved the night makeup look on me and I am sure if I do this throughout the monsoon, I can cheat on my makeup everyday”
