Musskan Agarwaal of KIWI BYMUSSKAN SPEAKS TO LA FIESTA ON HER JOURNEY TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT YOURSELF. I am very happy person and Take the life as it comes. I studied from Delhi University; I am an avid arts enthusiast with a strong inclination towards designing jewelry. I Mastered from Indian Institute of Gems and Jewellery and I opened my very first retail store in Delhi by the name of Proroyal “Kiwi by Musskan. I am God fearing and God loving person. For me my family comes first and without their support I see myself nowhere. They have been my strength in every smallest thing I have done. I am friendly person with Go-getter Attitude. HOW DID YOU GET INTO JEWELERY DESIGNING? Jewellery designing is in my blood. My Father started the Jewelry line, mainly manufactures, cuts and polishes gemstones like pure Emeralds, Rubys and sapphires in Jaipur, I never wanted to get into jewelry line, I have always been fond of designing and wearing it myself, its always been my passion and till date I never take as a work pressure, but yes I work hard and could never imagine I would be holding my own jewelry store one day where each piece is according to my taste and I enjoy making the women wear "my kind of jewelry". When I told my Dad about my dream for designing contemporary jewelry. He was the only one who said Go ahead! It’s with his motivation that I am there where I am today and I launched my label Kiwi. I have inherited lot of my gem knowledge from my parents who are into the real jewelry business. WHAT DOES YOUR BRAND’ KIWI BY MUSSKAN’ CONSISTS OF?

discerning, to the down right difficult! With an emphasis on feminism and the shades, my creations signify youth, glamour and sophistication. With a product range that includes a large variety and assortment of neckpieces, earrings, rings, bracelets and everything you can think if when it comes to fashion jewelry, the styles range from smart casual to the ornately formal Lending a stunning color sensibility, the color play is reminiscent in My brand Kiwi by Musskan. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE IN JEWELLERY DESIGNING? My collections have a lot of Indian Earthiness in it portraying my connection with culture & religion. The one feature that sets my designs apart are the miniatures of the Tanjore paintings that are incorporated in my neckpieces. Tanjore paintings have always been very contemporary, the kind of colors and stringing am doing are very fusion which can be worn with Indian outfits come westerns, painting on a small piece of stone is slightly tough since the workshop has to be very neat and integrate and the features of the GOD motives have to give u a sharp look and has to have and give u proper detailing of the particular motif which it requires a lot of skill and hard work as they are totally hand painted. The tanjore paintings are totally hand painted 14k gold foil and real Swarovski’s are being used, and we do the tanjore painting pendants on a precious colored onyx, using 14k gold foil real Swarovski’s and they are totally handpainted.so it completely gives u a feel of tanjore painting inspired from south India. WHAT ARE THE FUTURE ENDEAVORS FOR ‘KIWI BY MUSSKAN’? I live in present and I am very
content with what I am today. However, if there were any tomorrow, I would want my brand Kiwi by Musskan to be known as among the best contemporary designer brands not only in India but also across the globe. I also see My Brand Availability in Top Mbo’s across World. What do you do apart from work? Apart from having a passion for jewelry, I enjoy reading fictional novels, I love photography & I am a shopping spree. Another is spending time with my Baby Dog Euro A must have jewelry piece that can be the best option for any occasion? - A bold Neckpiece that takes always everyone’s attention or Statement Ring is something I feel every Fashionistas should have, and is always perfect for all occasions.

TONE UP YOUR SKIN- You can use natural ingredients to get even skin this monsoon. Use rose water whenever your skin feel sticky to freshen it up or add it with your facepack for natural glow and to get rid of oily or dry skin. You can even make your own skin toner at home by adding a few drops of honey to 2 tablespoons of milk. This mixture not only tones but hydrates the skin as well. If your skin sweat in this season, it is very important to take care of that to make your makeup last. Rub your face with an ice cube for 10 minutes and then wash your face properly, you will find best result after a week. LET YOUR EYES SPARKLE- Eye makeup is most important step while doing facial makeup. You can apply waterproof eyeliner and mascara to attend the party or if you get wet in this monsoon and don’t keep yourself from experimenting with color around your eyes. You can also apply a thin line of smoky dark brown pencil outside the lower eye lids, followed by a white pencil on the water line. GLOSSY LIPS- Lipstick is enough to complete your makeup for daily routine and also for attending the party. This monsoon avoids using dual-tone lipsticks. During evening: Neon pink will be a great choice but the color you want to use should go well with your rest of the makeup. During day: Usage of liptints available in Benefit cosmetics is highly recommended. It gives natural look to lips. Over that you can gloss a little. Now, water-proof lipsticks are best for monsoon, you can also go for it. AVOID BLUSH- Avoid using powdered blush in the rainy season as it will be washed soon in rain water.
Writing to you regarding inputs by Aashmeen Munjaal on make-up for this monsoon season. Monsoon season brings humidity and damp along with rain and cooler climate which cause lots of skin and hair related problems. Compact makeup has a risk of being washed out badly, so light and sheer makeup is more appropriate. If you wish to escape your makeup washing away with water, you can use waterproof mascara, eyeliners and eyeliner to get the best look for monsoon. Not only this, your hair also faces many problems like fizzy hair, oily scalp, dandruff and so on. But this time monsoon is all set to give you a blistering look. KEEP CLEAN YOUR FACE- Wash your face with a mild or herbal like neem, khadi or soap-free face cleanser and keep it clean, as these will be gentle on your face the skin and prevent bacteria from multiplying cause due to humidity, heat and sweat. MOISTURIZE YOUR SKIN- Moisturizer for both greasy and dry skin is essential, no matter whatever the seasons are. Go for light moisturizer which can be easily absorbed by the skin or just pick water based moisturizer to moisturize your skin. APPLY LIGHT BASE- It is always been advised to apply light base like weight-less and waterproof foundation and also compact instead of heavy foundation or soufflé to give an even look to your face. As these are waterproof base makeup, it will be long lasting for the monsoon.
REFRESH YOUR MAKEUP- Makeup fixtures are generally preferred to give your make up a refreshed look. It’s basically a misty spray which is sprayed on the face keeping eyes shut & from 12-15 inches away from face. After spraying it let settle for approximately 6-7 seconds. And here you go. Ready with a fresh face on this shower day.
“Monsoon can blemish your makeup which you have applied over the face and can make your hair dull and oily. But if you apply some tips on makeup care, then you can look dazzling and blistering even in this monsoon season.”

You love them or hate them but you can’t ignore them. The rains knocking doors. With pitter-patter raindrops falling on your head, it’s time to pack away those stilettos, leather shoes, transparent tops and pastel-colored shirts. The monsoons are drenching the city with mucky roads, dirty feet and frizzy hair, leaving people in a dilemma about what to wear. Out come those waterproof sandals, capris and colorful umbrellas. But if you thought that rains are synonymous with dull and boring outfits and accessories, then you are mistaken. All you need to do is jazz up your existing wardrobe by cutting, folding and coloring your outfits. From opting for light fabrics and cropped pants to going for waterproof make-up, that will save you from dampening your style in the rain. Don't let the rainy season affect your desire to be stylish and fabulous.
