Re-create this Look!

Snow days, rain and ice and wind chill truly marks the month of February in the northern Hemisphere- but you can add fresh cheer to your look with this makeup look!

Fresh February! Copyrights Saman Ansari 2011

1. Face & Neck- Oil of Olay moisturizer, under eye concealer Tan by Amazing cosmetics.

2. Eyes- Lid bare, socket Wedge by MAC, inner corner Vanilla by MAC

3. Liner- Engraved by MAC in the waterline and top lash line

4. Lower Lash Line- Nehru shadow applied with an angled brush and smudged.

5. Lashes- Curled and coated with Loreal Voluminous Mascara in Blackest Black

6. Cheeks- Peony creme' blush by MAC, cheekbones Hyper Real Powder in Lavender by MAC

7. Lips- Buerre Lip pencil layered with Cream in your Coffee by MAC.

Skin and hair get very dry in winter and the best way to combat that is with internal hydration (lots of fluids *8-10 glasses a day*- no caffeine or alcohol please!) and external moisturizing. The skin absorbs moisture most effectively after its been freshly washed so slather on your lotion while skin is still damp and let it set in. For hair, shine serums will help tame fly aways and try to give your self a warm oil hair wrap at least once a week!

Stay beautiful!

Changes for 2011

Hello lovely ladies!


With 2011 come big changes in my services for Studio Sila. I will now service only 5 brides in North America a year- all the rest of the brides will be serviced in Islamabad, New Delhi and then in the UAE.


So why the change? Well for the past 14 years I have been offering my signature style to lovely desi brides all over North America. Travelling to various states, cities, islands and destinations, and while the journey has been enjoyable, I am now moving my expertise as a master makeup artist to the next level. 


Despite all the resources in North America, most desi brides here are fixated on certain things, e.g Smokey eyes, nude lips, french manicures, side parts with a centre mang tikka and oh yes, with an obsession of trial makeup sessions. While some artists would gladly reproduce the look over and over again, it is causing my artistic abilities to stagnate, which is not where I would like them to be.


Thus, from now on, a consultation with brides-to-be will not only help them decide on whether they would like to retain my services, but also if I wish to work with them based on what they desire for their wedding day makeup and hair design.


The east, is a canvas ready to absorb a multitude of colors, textures and styles and thus, I shall be focusing my time and talent working with the clients in South Asia.
Much love and wishes for a fantastic 2011.
XOXO
Saman
