For those of you who wish to experience fashion week, let me sum it up for you. Chaos in a whirlwind mixed with inspiration, awe, excitement, a little turmoil and a whole lot of warmth. Yup, these were some of the many emotions felt within my itty bitty body as Lakmé Fashion Week commenced yesterday! The feeling was overwhelming and just brilliant. Though I would love to narrate and show you the dazzling looks/outfits that caught my eye on the ramp – I’m going to jump straight into the beauty part of the runway, for now.

I was all ready with my camera in one hand and tiny note pad in the other (balancing the two ain’t an easy job, mind you), and set to watch the Gen Next show. From the moment it began to the moment it ended, something within me was in an uproar and I was consumed! The clothes were ‘next level’ awesome but damn, the makeup on their faces had an artistic, almost sculpted touch that just blew me away altogether. Check out a few of the Gen Next as well as the other designer runway beauty looks that deserve a post of their own!

7) DRVV

Edgy vibes and asymmetrical silhouettes grabbed our attention but not as much as the makeup by Natasha Nischol did! Ladies and gentlemen, this is what you get when art meets fashion.

Slick ponytails and minimalistic makeup meant we were much more attentive to the beautiful outfits.
