As a girl about town, one question that never ceases to plague me is how much makeup is appropriate makeup? As a preppy teenager in school, I was in a committed relationship with my kohl pencil (since that’s all my mum allowed me to have). In my rebellious college-going days, I swiftly moved on to coloured eye pencils, while the rest of the crowd wore basic black. However, one thing I was largely ignorant about was skincare, and I regret not taking care of my skin sooner.
But that’s just how it is in college; most of us don’t know what our skin type is or what products work for specific issues. If you’re in the same boat, you’d do well to refer to the video above by Komal K of Delhi Fashion Blogger fame. Komal helpfully suggests the products you simply must have, and also explains why you need to invest in them. Also, there are quite a few budget-friendly options that work really well.
