Hello!! as i am an makeup artist i need to look good myself first and i hav very less time to prep myself i always start with a good moisturizer .
1 – Lakme absoulte moussee cream…!! its really very light n very quick and easy to apply.
2- Lakme compact .very quick to use again .(using it from years & always a handy stuff to retouch )
3- Lakme Iconic kajal. this is one thing i would never miss. Ur eyes always do the talking.
4-Lakme eyeliner- as i am an makeup artist its really very easy for me to apply it within a minute.
5 Lakme mascara – as i said ur eyes do the talking.
6-finally the Lakme Lip Gloss- its consistency is rly good no need to apply lipstick before just the gloss is enough.
The dress i would probably wear a trouser n blouse n a belle for my foot n a oversized bag to dump everything !! as in hurry i always forget what all i need to keep .
Hair would definitely be in a messy bun with a cute hairclip.

Since dressing up everyday means getting ready for office, here’ what all I do :
Outfit – I work in a law firm, so my outfit most of the times is blacks, whites, greys and beiges. (Boring, I know. But these are the occupational hazards :-P) In Summers, I like to wear crisp white or black salwar suits, coz they are so comfortable in the heat. Occasionally, I love to wear formal white, grey or black shirts with colour co-ordinated trousers. (Black is the safest option for me). For footwear, I love wearing flats with a little bit of bling, since rest of my outfit is very plain.
Winters are much better, since I mostly wear trousers and shirts. Footwear is black formal shoes.
I don’t leave home without my wrist watch and earrings.
Skin : – I use Lakme Strawberry Face Wash, Rose water for toner and Lakme Perfect Radiance Fairness Day Cream for moisturiser.
Makeup –
Face – Apply a bit of BB cream or a little bit if Lakme Invisible Foundation and blend.
Eyes – Use an eyeliner in green as eyeliner and on waterline also. Apply a bit of Lakme kajal over the waterline. Gives a very intense look.
Lips – Currently, I am using Lakme Pop Tints In Peach Please. It’s a very pretty everyday wear lip color and stays for a long time.

when I’m pressed for time (which is everyday by the way!) this is how my story goes:
1. Wash my face with a neem face wash followed with a dollop of vitamin c cream. Sorry moisturizers but you’re just not my cup of tea!
2. For makeup I start with the Lakme souffle in marble to create a flawless base and if I’ve run out of this then a quick swirl of a compact but with my all-over face brush. (Now by this time I’m already running late for work)
3. I then focus on my attire – anything that is crisply ironed and is comfortable for the weather (cottons only for summers!) Diamond ear studs, a silver bangle and my wedding ring accompany everything that I own in my closet so I never have to worry much about matching accessories.
4. Heels for my feet – they add inches to my otherwise petite frame and give me a double booster of confidence!
5. And now finally come the final touches – a hint of colored eye liner (Brown or blue) and a soft brown lipstick (on rainy days a bright red lip balm) For the hair its a neat pony.
So my daily style statement is elegant simplicity.
And why is style important to me? – It makes me feel good about myself – style is about self confidence – and when you feel stylish you can take on the world no matter what it brings.

When in a rush, and even otherwise, I’m mostly dressed in my comfort wear a.k.a. Lycra denims and I pair it up with mostly a tee or a full sleeved top. I mostly prefer my clothes to be in neutral colors, black, white , grey and navy being my favorites. Also because it’s very easy to weave a makeup look around these colors. I also usually prefer loafers or ballerinas when pressed for time. My hair is straight and silky so leaving them open is not really a choice for me because they keep flying everywhere, so I pull them up in a pony and add some hair accessories like tic-tac clips to hold the bangs. Add a simple cross body bag with my keys and makeup touch-ups and I’m good to go. Only a ring or two and a watch is what I add as accessories.
My skin type is combination -oily, so , my makeup usually consists of a moisturizer, or these days it’s always the Lakme Youth Infinity Day creme along with a slight dab of compact powder to control shine. My favorites being the Lakme Perfect Radiance Compact or MAC Studio Fix when I have a minute extra to blend. A kohl is also a must and I have to say I’m using the Eyeconic Kajal extensively, already on my third and the Bourjois Contour Clubbing waterproof Black pencil( because two happen to perform best on my slightly oily lids), and yes a mascara is what I can never skip so the Rimmel Scandal eyes for my sparse lashes. And since my makeup is so neutral, I end up picking a bright lipstick like MAC’s Ruby Woo or Impassioned.
My style, is really minimalistic , I don’t like adding too many accessories or colors to my outfit and I think that makes it look simple and classy. It’s important for me to look stylish , because for me, it means I respect the other person enough to take time to dress up, and look neat for them. It also portrays an impression that I would never demean their personality by not dressing up properly, even if it’s simple, it’s got to exude class.
Minimalist and elegant: That’s my style 🙂
gargi sinha
about me:
skin type:oily- combination
hair:curly
complexion:medium
when i run out of time:
clothes & accessories :wear a comfortable kurti and leggins, my fastrack watch & diamond studs
hair: use a serum to keep frizz at bay and tie into a neat ponytail
face: lotus herbals spf 70 tinted sunscreen set with lakme loose powder
eyes: lakme eyeconic eyeliner both on upper and lower lashline,transparent mascara
lips:lipgloss victoria’s secret
nails (both toe and hands): i always keep my nails neat,in shortage of time would just coat a layer of transparent polish
body:vaseline healthy white body lotion spf 24
my dr.scholl footwear and my black leather bag (contains everything i need on the go ) accompany me wherever i go
voila i am done!!!!
For me looking stylish is really important as it makes me confident to go out and face the world. Be it in your workplace, on the streets, in public transport, shopping mall, theatres anywhere where you are known or not known, you will be judged first by your appearance and style. If you are confident and happy with your style it will reflect positively in anything you do and it imbibes a positive energy wherever you go.

So, that’s a stylish, natural look in hard pressed times 🙂

Tshering Yangzom
While in a rush I would normally go for a Boho chick look.. I just slip into a maxi dress, get hold of a sling bag and wear flat sandals.. and either leave my hair down or put it up in a tight bun!
For my face I apply Missha BB cream and set it with Rimmel’s Stay Matte powder, apply a tint like the Benetint on my cheeks and lips for a natural flush, brush on some bronzer along the sides of my face, apply a volumising mascara like Loreal’s 4D false lash effect and I’m good to go!
Looking stylish and feeling stylish just makes me happy! I love looking presentable at all times as it does make me feel much more confident and COMFORTABLE which is a very important element in fashion 🙂

Ok..when I am pressed for time,it keep my whole makeup natural with a bright lipcolor.I have combination-oily skin so before applying anything,I always wash my face with Face wash.It varies from Ponds tan removal face wash or Pond’s Deep Cleansing Facial Foam with Activated Carbon as i prefer squeeky clean face.After that ,I apply astringent that is basically from Nivea.After that,I apply Neutrogena moisturizer for combination skin.While the moisturizer is getting into my skin,I try doing my hair .I prefer two ways,If I have unwashed hair,I always go for a french bun as it looks super stylish else it part my hair into two sections.Grab few strands from each section,twist them and pin them at back and leave rest of the hair open.This hairstyle suits my face and is almost my ‘go to’ hairstyle.
Now,this is the best trick I have learnt myself.I have to skip foundation as it wont get blended properly in such a short span of time resulting in streaky application,so I always go for a primer.It is Bourjois flower perfection primer or Revlon photoready color correcting primer.Use of primer gives a natural even look to face without any patchy feeling while filling the pres and giving fresh look. After that,I apply,Sunscreen if I have a day outing or else I skip sunscreen and apply concealer under the eyes for luminosity and around my lip area for evenness which is revlon photoready concealer or bourjois healthy mix concealer.Dust off finishing powder.The sunscreen is Lotus spf 90 and dusting powder varies from Bourjois healthy mix compact or ben nye banana powder or Oriflame Studio artist translucent setting powder.
I try to keep my eyes subtle by just tightlining my waterline(both upper and lower) and loads of mascara.I use Lakme ultimate kohl which is my HG kohl since a year and a half and mascara is generally L’oreal volume million lashes or Estee lauder double wear.If I have unruly brows I use a matte cream colored shade all over the lids to give clean look else I skip this.It is generally a mixture of Bow and The mail from Sleek oh so special eye shadow palette.
Next,I use matte baby pink or peach blush as they are the safest bet.I either use Illamasqua tremble or MAC style followed by contouring which is most important for me.I have been using Lakme fantasy collection blush or loreal true match honey blush for contouring.If I am in a hurry and my nails need some quick manicure,then I always apply O.P.I. champagne shade nail paint.It hardly takes time to dry and can be worn with any look.
I use bright lipstick for lips like MAC chatterbox or Bourjois neon rose or Lakme poptint candy kiss.
Believe me,all this looks like it is going to take half an hour but it isnt so.
I keep my clothes normal by wearing black jeans,any top(mostly Georgette) that I tuck in,big buckle belt followed by wedges.
watch,ring and studs are always worn by me.
I apply my favorite perfume which is basically Armani diamond or Ck beauty and I am ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you find it interesting enough and didn’t get bored while reading such a longggg look!!
xoxo~~

The most important question that is why looking stylish is important can be simply answered by the fact that we are living in a society where our appearance and the way we carry ourself is of utmost importance..i feel that one can dress up smartly to bring out the inner strengths and put our best forward..
Vidhya
When I am pressed on time, I prefer minimal or no make up but just essentials..
My skin type is normal and complexion is fair.
I never miss out scrubbing because it brings a natural glow to the skin by removal of dead skin and black heads..then I apply a lakme compact evenly, a thick bold line of kajal (Which is a must have for me) and a light coloured long lasting lipstick or a lip balm. Dat’s all.
For clothes
I prefer denims with a t-shirt, bellies, a sling bag, stud tops and a watch.
Looking stylish is important for me because it gives an additional boost to my confidence…
shweta
When I am short of time ..
My skin care – I have dry skin, i prefer ashing face with a mild facewash and apply a moisturising sunscreen with spf of 30. I apply sunscreen on any exposed area like hands , legs etc.
My Hair care n styling – I usually keep my hair clean, but in case its slightly greasy i use dry shampoo and then style my hair into a pony with poof on the crown area. this hair style takes minimum time and usually gels with all kind of makeup and attire.
My Makeup routine : when i have less time my makeup usually is very simple. I apply either BB cream or Foundation depending on the time. touch up around eyes with a concealer (i usually skip this step if i am in hurry). follow it with a face powder on the t-zone. I tight-line upper lashline with a black pencil. apply two coats of mascara on both upper and lower lashes. a bright lip color. thats it.
Dress: I usually dress up in jeans and top when in hurry (safest option as we can choose a top according to the occasion, we can dress it up or dress it down by adding accessories). I add accessories according to the occasion, like if i am just going out casually i either skip them completely or add a bright funky neck piece. If i am going out more formally i will wear a watch and some elegant neck piece depending on the top i choose.
Shoes : I wear shoes according to the occasion – flats for casual outing and slight heels for more formal ones.
Bag – a big chunky bag for casual outings or a slender clutch for formal outings.
Feeling and looking stylish is important for me as I feel confident. Although I don’t let styling rule me but looking presentable is essential.

Styling is important to me because looking good not only gives me confidence but also makes me happy 😀
Hair / Clothes/Shoes : When pressed for time I go for a pair of well fitted jeans, T shirt and some accessories. I either grab my hair into a pony tail or leave it open with some cute tic-tac pins to keep the hair away from face. I usually opt for a pair of flats when in hurry.
I am always running late so 5-10 minutes is actually the time I get to do my makeup 😛 My routine usually is
Skin Care: Makeup or no makeup CTM is necessary before stepping out. Who wants to go out with a skin that is not fresh and clean.
Makeup: No makeup looks good without an even base. But since the time is a constraint I cannot go for a foundation – concealer – powder thing. So the BB/ CC cream comes to the rescue here. Does the job well and gives me a glowing and even skin tone.
Last but not the least I add some color on cheeks and a bright lipstick along with my HG Eyeconic Kajal and loads of Eyeconic mascara to define eyes and I am ready to go 🙂
Swati Kalwar recently posted…How To Be Fashionable While Working Out
Prerna Sinha
Skin – I have combination skin so after a CTM routine, I’d follow it up by applying a BB cream for light coverage. I’d spot conceal with a concealer for areas that need more coverage and finish it off by dusting a little translucent powder on my T-zone and blend it out.
Make-up –
1. I would line my eye-lids by using an eyeliner pencil to trace upper and lower lashline. Smudge the lines a little so it doesn’t look too harsh. Use mascara to accentuate the eye lashes and open-up the eyes.
2. Swirl a little powder blush onto the apples of the cheeks to add colour and a healthy hue to my face.
3. Finish off the look by swiping a lip gloss which requires less precision (and time) than a liner-and-lipstick combo.
4. I have naturally mid-length wavy hair which I would leave open. I’d run some hair gel in my hair to take care of strays and it would also hold my soft curls in place.
Outfit – I’d like to keep it simple yet sharp. I’d pair dark blue denim skinnies with a crisp white cotton shirt. For shoes, I’d wear nude colored wedges. I would add a bright colored chunky statement necklace to bring a pop of color to the whole ensemble. I’d grab a nude-colored clutch and I’d be ready to go.
Looking stylish is important to me because it makes me look presentable, positive and gives me the confidence to face anything that life throws at me!
Idee Fixe
When it comes to styling and Haste, I usually follow ‘Less is more’
I reach out for Casuals, A Denim and a Top or T-shirt. Pair them with kitten heels or sneakers depending on mood. I accessorize well not to look Simple Sally and ofcourse Makeup for oh-so-gorgeous feel. 😉
I tie my hair in a chic pony or fishtail braid and add some colourful pins/clips.
I follow general Cleasing routine with mild scrubbing and apply Sunblock even on Rainy/Cloudy day. I keep my Base fresh and dewy with BB cream or Foundation,and emphasize on Cheeks and Lips or Eyes, either one.
Put on some Blush and Lipgloss from same family, like Coral lips and orange blush.
If I decide to emphasize eyes, I wing out my eyeliner and just define my crease with dark brown eyeshadow. And go for a bright Lipstick.
I try and create a balance between Makeup, Attire and Accessories so that I don’t look loud for a casual day.
poorna
I like to present to people my many moods, but I prefer keeping myself looking neat. Its all rounded curves for me when it comes to makeup, and I think its important for me to look good because when I know I am looking good, it adds to my love for myself. I feel good all the way inside. Generally, my makeup routine consists of moisturizing my face first, apply sunscreen, maybe a light foundation or BB cream if I am in the mood. I generally keep things simple with kohl, mascara and lipstick. And I have a fetish for applying moisturizer and sunscreen all over my body. I love wearing nail polish and regularly apply it to keep my nails looking good.

Accessories- Pearl Neck – piece and Pearl statement finger-ring
Hairstyle – Apply the serum and style a side sweep hairdo as it’s easy to manage in short time span yet stylish.
Skin –

Body – Apply Lakme body lotion to style the body skin as the moisturized skin glows and gives you many plus while looking the best.

So when I am looking stylish which means being me in my dictionary, I am a happier person and it's contagious! People start admiring you and treat you with more respect. Your whole world changes, not just the way you look. It's wonderful!
It feels nice.. It feels alive. It feels me ..and I love it 🙂

Thanks for this awesome contest Shalini 🙂
I believe that every women has an inherent sense of style and it cannot be copied or borrowed from others, it can only be enhanced :). Also, I believe that expensive products or clothes don’t necessarily makes one stylish and that’s why my favorite makeup brand has always been Lakme, perfectly suited for the Indian skin tone and budget friendly.
Now, when I am really pressed for time, which is often the case:
1. I use a BB cream for evening out my skin tone (currently using: Ponds BB cream)
2. I use a non-smudging kajal as eyeliner(current fav, Lakme eyeconic)
3. Apply two coats of mascara (current favorite Clinique high impac mascara)
4. Use a cream blush or bronzer on my cheeks (currently using MUA mosaic bronzer)
5. Use a transfer resistant lipstain/lipbalm (current fav Lakme Lip tint in Peach please)
6. Throw on a comfy and stylish W-kurta with coordinated leggings, my favorite pair of flats and my red quilted small bag. And voila, I am ready to take on the world 🙂

Hi Shalini.
I want to thank you first for the great opportunity to join such lovely contest. Now, I’m going to tell you about the story of doing my make-up!
Usually, I’m always in hurry to get ready, because I always preferred to be dressed in Sari for any occasion; that may be marriage ceremony or high-tea! and you know, Sari takes a lots of time. That’s why, I always use Lakme products; it takes a pretty short time to apply. Not that, I’m writing for a contest, produced by Lakme, since my college years, I have been using the brand. I want to tell you about my dress and make-up for a high-tea. I would love to choice:
1. A sari: Odisha cotton, color- smoky brown with dark-red combination.
2. Blouse: 3 quarter, maslin cotton, cream color.
3. Shoe: pair of medium heel Indian-style shoes, color- brown.
4. Accessories: Statement neclece, color- golden and dark-red combination, matching yearnings and bracelet, steel color watch.
5. Hair: I like to cut my hair in little short and I would like to stay it free.
6. Make-up: I have combination skin but have much dryness than oil. At first I wash
very well my face with Lakme Clean Up Fresh Fairness Face Mask. Then,I
would like to use for this day:
i. Lakme Skin Naturelle Daily Foundation (pearl)
ii. Lakme Absolute Mattreal Skin Natural Mousse (Beige Honey)
iii. Lakme 9 to 5 Pure Rouge Blusher (Rose Crush)
iv. Lakme 9 To 5 Matte Lip Color (B3 Brownie Point)
v. Lakme Eyeconic Kajal
vi. Lakme Eyeconic Curling Mascara
vii. Lakme Absolute Eye Color Baked Shadow (Day Shimmer)
That’s enough to look gorgeous and because my make-up products all are from Lakme, I need just 10-12 minutes to use all of this!
Next;
Yes, looking stylish is important to me, and it is because of myself! Style means to me to be up to date with present time and it makes me confident. In other hand, I always want to look stylish for my next generations, who can learn from me, what is the meaning of style.

skin type : my skin type is DRY.
I think LOOKING stylish is very important for every lady or girl because everybody wants to look good, impressive and i thimk at working place this seems to b very important as a wise man said dat ur “OUTFIT MAKES UR PERSONALITY ND PERSONALITY REFLECTS YOU”
so when i am pressed for time or i have to rush i simply to do is:
FOR FACE: wash my face with lakme cleanup facewash its clean up my face by its vitamins particles and gives me a cooling efffect, followed by a lakme sunscreen lotion to protect my sin from harmful u.v rays, then i found the lakme absolute mousse is very good for my skin it does not turns my skin oily and absorbs instantly and give me a radiant skin.
FOR LIPS: I FOUND the lakme 9 to 5 lipcolour is best suited me because i can wear matt lipcolours in my daily basis office a light colour may be of peach colour best suited on me.
FOR EYEBROWS: I don’t have volumised eyebrows so i prefer lakme eyebrows linear.
FOR NAILS: As BRIGHT or NEON colours are INN in this summer so i prefer lakme abssolute poptints best suited on me.
OUTFIT: i would love to wear a short tube neck dress with a broad belt carried with it.as i love neutral colours i would go with white colour dress with floral prints over it.
ACCESSORIES: i would love to wear a funky broad neck piece as i wear a tube dress, also a bracelet in my hand to give me a complete look.
FOOTWEAR: I will go with toe pumps with high heels of any bright colour..

I am usually not pressed for time, since I love to dress up taking my own sweet time. But when in a jiffy, I jump into my fitted jeans with a nice top (depending on where I am headed, it could be a floral top, a tucked in shirt.!)
I tie my hair in a nice ponytail as I have long hair with a bit of accessories added. I use my current crush, Lakme CC cream on my face. A touch of colour on my cheeks. Mascara and Kohl. Pop tint on my lips. A watch, bag and medium size heels complete the look!
Hope you like it 🙂

“How do you like to style yourself from head to toe when you are pressed for time and why looking stylish is important to you? Answer the question including details of your skin, makeup & outfit”
When I’m pressed for time, what I do is dress my best keeping in mind the time constraint.
SKIN AND MAKE-UP:
Face: I cleanse my face with Lakme Face-wash (with green tea extracts) and apply Lakme Peach Milk moisturiser. A quick routine with Lakme CC Cream covers up any redness and imparts a healthy glow to my face.
Make-up: I darken my eyebrows using an angled brush with Lakme kajal. Then I tightline my upper lashline and my lower waterline with Lakme Eyeconic kajal, and draw a quick winged liner with my Lakme Absolute Felt-Tip Eyeliner which gives me jet black colour and the thin tip enables me to draw a perfect winged line with precision. I use my Lakme Eyeconic Mascara to define and add volume to my lashes which giving them a dramatic curl as well. Once my eye make-up is done, I apply a dab of Lakme 9 To 5 Lipstick in Red Chaos, a gorgeous muted red which is my go-to colour for my lips. A cheat code: I also a dash of the same lipstick on the apples of my cheeks and blend them with my fingers to achieve a subtle glow. 😉 To finish up my make-up, I pat Lakme Compact Powder in shade Ivory to set my make-up.
OUTFIT: I keep in mind the occasion and the place where I am heading to.
Ethnic wear: If I need to dress in traditional ethnic wear, then I opt for a fitted kurti and matching leggings. I leave my hair open or tie it into a half-updo with a hairclip. As for jewellery, I like statement pieces so I’d wear metal earrings with stone work, preferably a colour that compliments the kurti. Footwear would be beaded chappals or sandals.
Casual outing: If I’m dressing for a casual occasion, I’d still go a li’l dressy 😉 I wear a fitted printed top or a tee with funky print with skinny jeans, and on my shoes, it has to be my favourite pair of tan Oxford shoes with metallic studs on them. They are versatile and edgy. Earrings would again be edgy statement pieces, like feather earrings or tribal printed pieces.
Formal occasion: If the occasion demands that I dress formally, I would go with a classic fitted blouse in neutral hues with slim-fit trouser. Pearl studs on my earlobes and patent heeled shoes on my feet, 🙂
So this is how I would dress, depending on the occasion. Why looking stylish is important to me is because my appearance is a part of the potpourri of factors which influences how others perceive me and conceive an opinion of me. What kind of opinion others form of me is beyond my concern, but it always helps to create positive opinions of oneself. 😉 Also, being stylish and fashionable is something I like and it makes me feel beautiful and happy, and nothing else matters. (Brownie points for the Metallica reference? 😉 )

mostly i get ready in 10-15 min.. very impatient i am! 😛 and d way i style my skin is by first by following a proper CTM so my skin glows and create a flawless n yet breathable base using lakme cc cream, the cc cream just few secs to blend in the skin; than concealing the imperfections with lakme absolute concealer.. one thing i never got out is without enhancing my eyes with the absolute mascara as i have tini eyes 😀 and now comes my love lippies. my choice is obviously hot red lippy like lakme red coat! 🙂
outfit- a black dress with metallic gold belt and red clutch to with it
shoes- black pump with glittery gold heels
hair- soft curls with side swept bangs
Style is important to me as it gives me confidence to face the world without any inhibitions and also helps in creating my own niche between all the stylist people out there 😉

I love to style myself in a natural way without heavy makeup. A half ponytail with few flicks on forehead. A nude makeup with a cool dress, shoe & purse. Looking stylish give a confident & attention of others without much efforts. Also a feeling of I am something & I can do somethings. It helps me to stand different in a crowd & be at my Own.

I love when it is raining and I keep this in mind while doing my makeup (or as your ques – styling my skin) – you never know when you might feel like dancing in the rain or can end up involutarily also. 🙂 So, I don’t won’t to be bothered by my makeup messing up all the fun!
Thus, my routine during monsoons is all about 5 things-
A good rich moisturiser (I let it sink in for a while), then I go in with an illuminator that has a bit of broze tint (gives a very innocent beautiful glow), a soft flesh toned cream blush on the cheeks, eyes tight lined with kohl, a sheer lip balm and finished up with a bright smile. Viola! All set to have fun wherever whenever you want. 🙂
That’s how I keep my skin stylish. I ain’t got a perfect skin and nor does my routine lasts forever but monsoons make me happy, that’s all that matters and besides, it is ok if you let your skin breathe for a while.
Thanks for the opportunity.
