Today we come across a very strong and upcoming celebrity makeup artist who has been working very hard and has been very amazing with her work. Based in Delhi this make up artist has turned heads in every place. She with her work has influenced celebrities and also worked with them. The hardworking, super-busy

freelance make-up artist recently found time to speak with our team to learn more about her.

Let’s get her introduction. I am Mannat Kaur, makeup artist, Delhi based Mua. At the Age of 18 I decided to learn Make up from academy. Days n’ Days went off, learned a lot of new stuff about makeup. Thus, stepped into a phase of my life where I was a MUA.

When did you realize that the makeup industry is the one you want to work in?

I have been an ardent fan of makeup industry since my childhood days. Glamour and makeup have always been my favorite things.

I have grown up watching Divas, like Guneet Virdi & Kriti DS and was fascinated with hair and makeup since then that was my forthright passion and the time, and the experience turned my passion into professionalism.

I completed my graduation and simultaneously the makeup certification. Since I was fascinated by glamour, I became a MUA at the age of 18 after exposing myself to the makeup industry.

What is your area of expertise?

My way of doing makeup is to keep the skin at most natural and dewy finish. Transforming the eyes and hair is the best area where I want to develop my talent I can make any women look like a

beauty with bear minimum USP. Makeup works to my favor as I get to access and deliver a complete look.

What beauty routine do you suggest for all brides – to –be?

Well, wedding is the most integral for brides and they prepare lot for it. Not just a month or two, but for all their teen life. The wedding day itself, however, required special attention.

That one day, when you are present in front of all your family friends & acquaintances, that’s where I come in and make their life easier and usually suggest them to eat well, drink healthy detox juices which can certainly add glow to their skin and avoid too much of Carbs.

Sleeping well and exercise, as the skin has a great effect of them to make it more glowing. Using a Vitamin-C serum day and night to lift and plump the skin for a bright and luminous touch and feel. For

a rosy glow, pomegranate can be added to the diet daily

In the end, though I love wedding and doing makeup for my brides. It’s the most amazing thing, when you must present a woman to an audience and gradually become of the center of attraction, like a showstopper in a fashion show. What is the best way for someone to contact you for queries/ bookings?

Anyone can contact me via Whatsapp or through, as I answer every individual call from anywhere in the world, making communication instant and faster.

What in your opinion is the most important quality in a make-up artist?

An individual must have excellent listening skills to implement in the work. In addition, as a first step toward becoming a good professional artist, attention to detail is essential.

The important thing is to understand the client’s expectations

and use your skills to the best of your ability to meet those expectations.

How to prepare dry and oily skin for foundation makeup application?

Oily skin must be toned before any makeup application to makes

the pores closed. To avoid cracks and makeup damage, dry skin needs to be moisturized well before makeup application. Explain your journey as a Makeup Artist.

I started to get into the field of makeup when I was in the school. My mom gifted me first makeup kit and I started to discover the

Instagram Reels and YouTube makeup tutorials.

During the pandemic, I concentrated on learning new makeup techniques by exploring the internet as thoroughly as possible.

I completed my Professional Course following high school, which provided me with a solid foundation for pursuing this career.

Eventually, I had the chance to do my first Celebrity Makeup for one of the most famous singers in the world, Afsana Khan. This

gave me confidence and gave me a boost. But the inner me wanted to learn more so I usually attend Master Class

Finally, my experience and hard work enabled me to establish the Home Makeup Studio, where I began training new aspirants, many of whom are now certified by me. I am dedicated myself to using my best skills to be more and more efficient for well known brands who are approaching me for collaborations.

My efforts will always remain focused on keeping someone’s natural beauty intact while lending an incredible transformation to them. With this we move on to another makeup artist for next month. while Mannat can be found on instagram and can be located in Delhi mostly, she is open to travel for specific bookings.

Christmas Movies to Watch on NETFLIX

We have compiled a list of what we think might be the most suitable movies for this holiday season. Of course, there will be no spoiling of significant plot points, so just read and enjoy.

1. Klaus

A postal worker and a reclusive toymaker team up to bring happiness and good cheer back to the Arctic town of Searsburg. Klaus is not only the highest-rated Christmas film on Netflix, but it is also the highest-rated film on Netflix, period. With an 8.1 IMDB score and 96% rotten tomatoes, it is a film that does deserve all the praise. With its gorgeous

hand-drawn animations, timeless theme, and hilarious script, Klaus can warm hearts on even the coldest winter nights.

2. The Christmas Chronicles

Two kids aim to catch Santa Claus on camera and find themselves living the Christmas night of their lives. The Christmas Chronicles is most notable for Kurt Russell’s performance as Santa Claus and the excellent Santa he makes in this jolly holiday adventure which also received a 2020 sequel. The

first film has already become one of the most popular movies on the Netflix platform and is brimful with enough fun and Christmas spirit that it is sure to delight young and old viewers.

3. Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey

Legendary toymaker Veronicas

Jangle has been deceived by his apprentice but with the assistance of his imaginative granddaughter, he is able to resurrect part of the lost magic. Jingle jangle bust-

ers to life with a superb style and has more than enough heart to brighten the season of even the grumpiest of grinches. The film has enjoyable qualities including excellent soundtracks, extravagant visuals, and an all-star cast. The 2020 release is bursting with magic and is sure to remain a Netflix yuletide classic for years to come.

4. A Boy Called Christmas

out to find his father who previously ventured to the great north in search of the Fabled elf city of Elf helm. Based on the bestselling book of the same name, a boy called Christmas is a Santa Claus origin story and the perfect choice to get you back in the Christmas mood. Its frozen Arctic setting is the ideal location for a fantasy film and has enough holiday joy to keep you feeling nice and toasty this Christmas season.

5. Love Hard

A young woman flies a long distance over the holidays to meet with a man she met on a dating app. She soon realizes that she might have been catfished and things get more interesting when she finds the real person from the photos. Love hard is a holiday rom-com and while it is no masterpiece, it is a light-hearted movie that will help rev up your holiday spirit. It offers few solid laughs on top of a charming cast and overall, you will find this movie to be a worthwhile addition to your Christmas movie list. Keep in mind that a few of these movies might not be accessible in your Netflix accounts because of territory restrictions. We recommend using VPN to unlock unlimited content on Netflix and other streaming services. If you have more movies to add to this list comment them down below!

The holiday season is upon us. So, is this the most wonderful time of the year or is it the most stressful? Honestly, it is probably but the good news is that we are going to get through this together. We will walk you through everything from avoiding travel hassles to serving an unforgettable holiday feast. Most importantly were going to help you celebrate this holiday season by maximizing your buying power during these tricky economic times.

Holiday Shopping

This year the pressure is on to snag those deals. Retailers are responding by early notifications of holiday sales and discounting excess inventory caused by last year's supply chain issues. About a quarter of Americans are already shopping for the holiday season and there is a fair amount of momentum going into this time. More than half of Americans plan to travel over the holiday season with 30% flying. But

the journey may be rocky as the travelers face fewer flight options, high fuel costs, and staffing shortages.

Staying on Budget

Staying on a budget and not going into debt during the holidays is always a challenge and this year with inflation, it is easier to overspend. The number one tip would be to make a checklist. You do not need to spend the money all at once. It would help if you

were mindful of when the spending is happening so that your January credit card bill does not crush you.

Online Marketplaces

With high inflation, secondhand goods may become a popular option for presence this year, but buyers beware. Criminals are also taking notice and they are trying to take advantage of those bargain hunters. Online marketplaces can be a suitable place to find bargains.

Food Tips

It sure can feel like you have a bunch on your plate when it comes to planning that holiday meal, especially this year with food prices going up. For stuffing, do not worry about using dried spices. You can use the species that are in your cupboard right now. We know abundance recipes call for fresh, but you can do just as well with dried spices. If you do want to get fresh, do not worry about wasting because there are ways to preserve them and save them.

You can cut them like fresh cut flowers and put them in a glass on the counter. They can stay in for a couple of days and keep changing the water every day. If you are worried about still not using them, just chop them up and put them in an ice cube tray with olive oil. This will give you little flavorful bombs that you can put in soups, stews, and sauces.

Do not feel like you need to have a variety of wines for every single person. Your job is to get one red and one white crowd-pleaser. They do not have to be expensive. If you talk to your wine shops, they will provide you with a bottle for as low as $12. The more you buy the cheaper it is. So, in case you have gotten a big crowd coming, one red, a medium-bodied red, one white, and your guests get to choose.

The important thing about saving at the grocery store is to plan early. Shop early and shop often. The first step would be to set up your menu. List out what you are

missing. Perishable vs nonperishables. If you have time, you can compare shops. So, you look for things online, for things on sale. Sign up for the loyalty program and make use of the rewards.

We hope we were able to give you varied practical tips and make your holiday season a little bit easier and money efficient.

DIET AND HEALTH TIPS THIS FESTIVE SEASON

The holiday season is upon us. While this season is full of joy and happiness, this tends to be the season that people simultaneously forget about fitness but at the same time feel guilty about fitness and health. Usually, our healthy habits tend to disintegrate during this season, and this can often lead to a little bit of weight gain or developing unhealthy habits that can, down the line, snowball into weight gain. So, we have brought you this article that will focus on avoiding either the weight gain itself or at least the guilt when it comes to fitness around the holiday

season.

1. Reverse Dieting

This might be a little bit late to implement for this year, but it ought to be helpful for next year. If you take a couple of months to speed up your diet and speed up your metabolism by 500 or 1000 calories, however most calories you need to speed it up by to get to the point where you are eating as much as you want and still maintaining weight. Then you can go into the holiday season without worrying about any amount of weight gain because you

are going to be able to eat anything you want and not gain weight.

2. Heavy Training

When it comes to exercise and holidays the number one thing that we recommend prioritizing is lifting heavy. Training somewhere in the strength to hypertrophy range, so two to twelve reps and three to six sets, in that range heavyweight. Turn the holiday season into the bulking season. This is the time when you can use those extra calories that you may be consuming in the next couple

of months and turn them into progress.

3. Schedule

There is another tip when it comes to exercise and that is to find a routine that works with your schedule based on whatever you know it is going to be in the holiday season. Holidays are stressful not only because there is a ton of extra food and extra

sugar but also because they are just busy times. So, it is easier to get side-tracked and not work and not work out as much. If you know that that is the case, instead of trying to work out 5 days a week, scale that to three days a week and make that intentional shift so that you can be consistent.

4. Gut Health

Our number one tip for the above-mentioned steps is

to prioritize gut health. We say this because gut health is the number one thing that goes out the window when you start eating more sugar, start eating more processed food, and consuming massive amounts of alcohol. Your hut is partially responsible for how your body recovers from exercise or breaks down, adjusts, and absorbs nutrients from foods. It affects your mood and sleep as well.

5. Nutrition

When it comes to nutrition it is key to focus on balanced meals. On the days you decide you want to indulge, we recommend getting your veggies, getting in your protein first, and then going all out. This will help balance your blood sugar levels so you do not end up on a glucose roller coaster and feel horrible.

6. Sleep

The better you sleep, the better balanced your blood sugar is going to be, the fewer cravings you are going to have and the more selfcontrol you are going to have. The less your body will be driving you to seek energy in

the quickest form possible, which oftentimes tends to be sugar.

An important thing which evaluates that if you feel so restricted during the rest of the year that you feel the need to binge on all the delicious foods during the holidays, you need to think about the rest of the year and not the holidays themselves. This just means that you are not finding balance in your day-to-day life outside of the holiday season. When you have balance, when you have a good relationship with food, then when these foods present themselves in increased frequency during the holiday season, they are nowhere near as tempting.

IMPACT OF COLORS ON YOU AND YOUR SURROUNDING

The color of the clothes or the color of anything around you, does it have varied impact? It is significant in the sense that the color that

path where they do not want to gather anything will wear white. Orange represents the entire process that is about enlightenment and reaching the state of knowing. Red is

you reflect will naturally add to the aura that you carry. Black reflects nothing. It holds back everything, so it becomes black. Those on a

the most vibrant color and famine represents that.

Let us start with how color

happens. An object seems white because when the light falls on it, it reflects all of it. An object is red, not because it is red; it is just that it holds back all the colors and only reflects red. If you dress up in jazzy colors and go on and stand in front of your dog, he interestingly looks at you because he does not see any color. He sees everything in black and white.

So, color is not what it is. Color is what it gives away. What you reflect on will be your color. What you hold will not be your color. This is the nature of life, not just of color. Today, if you radiate love, people will see you as a living human being. If you hold back all your love because you are a love bank, you are full of love, but you do not radiate, you are that. If you radiate joy, people will perceive you as a joyful person but if you hold back then people will not enjoy you as a positive human being.

What you give away is always your quality. This is not just for a human being that is the nature of existence itself.

What is thrown away is the quality of that substance. A substance that reflects everything will be white. The sky reflects blue, so it is blue. The rest held back. What it holds back, you do not see. What it gives away is what you see.

So how is color significant for human consciousness as such or for any spiritual

process? Anything physical in existence naturally reflects light. What you are seeing is the reflected not, not the color of the substance.

Color is the most powerful, stimulating, and demanding element of design. It is the first thing that people notice and remember the longest. Colors are at once inviting to an individual. It can also distract and disturb. Color evokes highly physical

and emotional responses which may be conscious or unconscious.

When you want to send a message to the world, you cannot do that with color. Color can affect the body and psyche. It can create a powerful illusion in your body size and your shape. It can also communicate visual meaning, a message, and moods. You can wear any color you want or need

to wear; you just need to know how to wear it and the meaning behind that color.

The perception of color is a very personal experience but something for you to consider. So, if you want to stand out or want to blend in, want to influence, want to show your personality, and your value, you can also mix and match

the color. You can use a belt to bring in color and that has psychological and physical effects. Try and read the meanings of all the colors and start to think about the message you want to send to your audience through color and the message you want to send about yourself.

FROM THE VAULT

Fashion Model, Vini Sharma

Meet fashion model Vini Sharma. She is a PGD student currently working as a Content writer and a Marketing executive for a Cyber security company. Along with that, She is also pursuing her passion for modeling. Her journey started three years ago when she won a state-level pageant. She was crowned as Miss Ahmedabad. That moment her life took a tremendous turn. From there one thing led to another introducing her to the glamour world.

"I suppose the universe always has something planned for us regardless of what we aim for in life. I never in my wildest dream had thought that I would be modeling let alone be walking for designers and would be featured in renowned magazines".

"Criticism and discrimination are a part of life and modeling. There will always be someone telling one that one is not enough or that one has to change. But the thing that I have learned is that in the end, it’s about how the person actually is. Who one believes one is and loving yourself".

"Modeling is not limited to how one looks",

Modeling to Vini before only meant getting good pictures as that is what is visible on the surface. However, after

think that was ever a hiccup but rather turned the paths favorably for her. Every coin has two sides, so to say that she dislikes something would sound very harsh, more importantly, to criticize one needs experience in the pocket but in her opinion, modeling should be seen in a more respectful light. She has learned to love herself from the industry. Adding to which she says,

being in the industry, she realized the values it holds, and not only does that change one as an individual but has made one realize that it is what one represents.

One of the things that Vini loves about the industry is how accepting and loving it is. It is the only place where one can be oneself. They would not be judged or demeaned to be different but would be looked upon. Vini remembers when she started. She was told that she have a very unconventional face, not very Indian to be precise. Nevertheless, she does not

"Modeling is not just limited to how one looks. It is much more than that. Itis what one brings to the table, their aura, ethics, and most importantly how one perceive oneself. One have to learn to love and accept themselves and only then one can bring the best version of themselves".

Fashion for Vini is something very personal and is only what her body accepts. She rarely goes with the trends and would rather be wearing something according to her mood even if that means being a proud flag-bearer of PJs or wearing prom dresses to a grocery store. Discussing

her first shoot experience, Vini said,

" I still remember when I got my first paid shoot, it was for a clothing brand, Fabrica. Although, it barely covered any expenses, I was so ecstatic I couldn’t wait to start working. The lights touched my face, makeup baking my skin, lens clicking, more importantly when I saw my name written across the mirror, I still get chills thinking about it".

According to Vini, modeling is not something one connects with perfection but is the valuable cause of its appreciation towards imperfections. Having said that because she feels the only reason she is in the industry is that a major chunk of her does not do it for the glam but is truly in love with the art form. Every step of life is progress and coming from knowing nothing to learning to work with renowned names in the field itself is progress for Vini.

indeed is the only constant. Vini is the kind of person who accepts change readily. She considers that in India, the evolution is quite neutral and close to the Indian roots. Moreover, not going by the foreign trends but making own trends. Most, importantly, the industry knows what is acceptable to the audience. Talking further about how the Indian fashion industry is coping with international fashion, Vini says,

"I personally feel that there is no need to cope as art is individualistic and what our nation represents is very different, unique, and more importantly is close to our roots which would never be similar to international trends. This is also the reason why we shine differently from others".

When it comes to art, change

Vini did the last shoot with Vaishali Studio wearing the Breath Collection. The designer was Vaishali Shadangule and agency Cocoberry. Overall, it was a great experience for her. Conversing with Vini to know

more about her, she revealed her favorite season.

"For me, it will be Spring. First, the fact that it represents a new beginning makes me believe that everyone has a chance to start fresh at any point in life. Second, that cold breeze filled with soft warmth is exactly what you need for a perfect day".

Vini, in three words, would like to define herself as compassionate, honest, and fabulous. She along with her sister is the founder of an NGO, Sukham. Although she spends all her day modeling, something equally valuable to Vini is her NGO. Therefore, if not modeling, she would probably be working full day for her NGO and would also be pursuing her passion for writing given she is a mass media student. Her bucket list includes having her NGO reach a national scale and get the opportunity to extend her hand across the nation, learn an instrument and attend the Paris Fashion Week.
