Hello and welcome to my channel.
I'm Sneha and I create beauty videos on YouTube.
Today, I thought its a new year and I should
create some new content on my channel.
I've seen a lot of my friends on YouTube make
videos in their mother tongue, mostly in Malayalam.
But I figured that my Malayalam is really
bad and my Hindi is kind of ok.
So, this is my first makeup video in Hindi.
My Hindi may sound funny or entertaining to
some of you (not sure) because firstly, I've
lived outside India for the past 10 years
or so.
So, I dont get many opportunities to speak
Hindi and so, I've forgotten a lot of hindi words
Secondly, I'm a Malayali who is speaking Hindi,
so there may be some influence there especially with my accent.
Thirdly, the little hindi I do know, its Mumbaiya
or Bombay hindi.
So, its quite crude and is not "pure" hindi.
So, please forgive me if I make any mistakes.
Let's get started.

So, first step is skincare.
It' really important is to moisturize your
skin.
Use any product depending on your skin type.
Whether your skin is oily, normal or dry,
use a moisturizer that suits the needs of your skin type.
My skin type is quite oily and I've already
gone ahead and used this moisturizer.
I'm going to list all the products I'm using
in this video in the description box below.
It's right below the video and you can click
it to find all the listed products.
So, as I was saying, the first step is to
moisturize your skin and I've already massaged
this all over my face and neck.
Second important step in skincare is to use
an under eye cream.
It's important to take care of this delicate
area around our eyes and eye creams are made for that
and they do not irritate the eyes.
So, be sure to use one.
I've already applied my eye cream as a part
of my skincare routine.
Finally, last step is to moisturize your lips
with any lip balm of your choice.
Next, its very important to protect your skin
daily with sunscreen.
It doesn't matter if its sunny, cloudy or
rainy, do wear sunscreen every single day.
So, today I am using this particular sunscreen.
If you are looking for a sunscreen, typically
it has a sun protection factor or SPF on it.
For example, this one has an SPF 60.
I'm not sure if you can see it but its written
on the container.
For Indian tan skintones, try and find one
with SPF 30 or higher - 50, 60, 70, etc.
I'm getting a mirror and then dotting this
all over my face, like so and then massage
it onto my skin.
There are various types of sunscreens, some
are quite oily while others are quite lightweight.
The one I'm using today is quite lightweight
and I prefer these since I have oily skin.
It's winter here in London but my skin is
still quite oily.
Hence, I'm using this.
So, you can massage your moisturizer, sorry
I mean sunscreen into your skin like so.
So, sunscreen will protect your skin and delay
aging.
Don't forget to apply some to your neck or
else you will end up with a younger looking
face and an older neck!
Second step is applying makeup.
It's quite dependent on an individual, what
kind of makeup one is fond of?
what kind of coverage do you want?
What's the condition of your skin?
etc etc.
The skin on my face is lighter than my neck
because I use sunscreen and I exfoliate my
skin quite often.
So, my face is lighter than my neck and then, my chest is lighter.
So, when I choose a foundation, I try and
match it to my neck and therefore its darker
than the skin color on my face.
It helps avoid taking the foundation onto
your neck, which is how I prefer.
But feel free to apply some to your neck if
you prefer that.
If you follow these tips, you can avoid floating
neck or floating face syndrome where the face
looks like it belongs to someone else.
This happens when you match your foundation
to your face while your neck is a different color.
It's not a cute look, so please avoid doing
that.
If the coloring on your face and neck is the
same, you can match your foundation to your face or neck.
But, if you have a situation like mine, where
your skin tone is lighter on your face compared
to your neck, match the foundation to your
neck.
Before applying my foundation, I'm applying
a foundation primer.
Today, I am using the Benefit Porefessional
primer.
This primer will seal your pores and it will not show through your foundation. Just apply this to areas where you may have enlarged pores.
Also, I have smile lines/wrinkles around my mouth, so I am going to pat this into those. This will prevent creasing.
You can also apply this primer to the rest of your face but I choose not to.
Next, I am going to do some color correcting. So, as you can see, I have some darkness around my mouth compared to the rest of my face.
Also, I have some minor darkness in the inner corner of my eyes.
So, I am going in with an orange colored product by MAC and its the prep n prime highlighter in the shade peach lustre.
So, take a small amount and apply it to only those areas that show darkness.
Be careful to apply this product only to those areas and not to adjacent skin.
I'm also taking it on any of my darker spots/scars on my face. I am not applying this to my lighter marks/spots.
Then I'm using my finger to lightly blend this in by patting.
After this, I'm going to apply foundation.
I'm using NARS sheer glow foundation and as you can see, its quite dark compared to my face but it matches my neck quite well.
I'm mixing in some color correctors with my foundation to get a good match,
so I've using yellow and blue here and this is what my foundation looks like after adding those in. I'm going to dot this foundation all over my face.
Don't be afraid if the foundation looks quite dark on your face right now because once its blended, it will match well with your neck.
I'm then using a clean damn beauty blender sponge to blend the foundation.
First you are going to get quite a light coverage since you are not using too much of the foundation. This will prevent cake face.
You can always go back and add a second thin layer of foundation to certain areas that need coverage. So, this will look quite natural on your skin.
When you are blending your foundation, don't forget to bring it down the part where your face and neck meet.
Now, you can see that as the foundation is blending out, it's now matching my neck really well. My acne scarring is still showing through but I'm not worried at this stage.
You can always cover them up with concealer later on. My goal with foundation is to have an even skin tone on my face and neck and then concealer can be used to add coverage.
So, as you can see now, once the foundation has blended completely, my face now matches the rest of my body.
Some people like looking light or fair with foundation, but I personally don't like that. I rather look like a normal human being where my face matches my neck. So, this is why I choose these shades in my foundation.
Now, with the foundation still left over on my hand, I'm going to apply a second thin layer on areas I need more coverage, which is on my cheeks and chin.
Next, we are going to focus on the eyes. I recommend using an eye primer before using eyeshadows.
I prefer this particular one by NARS. So, just take a small amount and apply it to your eyes and then blend it out with your finger.
I'm also applying any extra product on my fingers to my lower lashline.
To set this eye primer, you want to use a powder that matches your skin tone or a translucent powder.
Today, I am using this MAC studio fix powder in the shade C40. This shade matches my skin quite well. Use any blending brush for this and apply it to your eyes.
Even if you don't apply it to your entire eyelids, its ok but definitely apply it to your crease and upto your browbone coz this is the area where we apply darker eyeshadows and blend them out.
Next I am applying some concealer under my eyes and today I am using my Tarte shape tape in the shade medium.
Just apply a small amount like so, same on this side and then to highlight your face, apply some in the center of your face, on the forehead, on the bridge of the nose.
The tip of my nose is quite big, so I'm not applying it there and bringing more attention to it.
I'm also applying it to my chin and cupids bow. Basically, I'm applying it to areas that I want to bring forward aka highlight on my face.
I'm blending this out with the same beauty blender sponge I had used. Be careful not to over-blend since you still want to see the areas highlighted.
After blending everything quite nicely, I'm going to set it immediately with some translucent powder.
I'm using this tiny beauty blender sponge for that and I'm taking whatever powder is remaining on the sponge on the other highlighted areas on my face.
I'm also blending around my mouth and setting it with the same powder to avoid creasing in my smile lines.
Next, I'm going back to my eyes. First, I am going to fill in my eyebrows with some brow powder. You can choose to use powder, pencil or wax for this step.
I'm going to use these kind of eyeshadows/shades - one that a dark brown with gray undertone and a black one.
I'm using the dark brown first through my brows especially in the front of my brows and then going in with a tiny amount of the black to only areas that still look light.
I'm applying these powders with this kind of a brush. First comb through your brows.
My eyebrows are a little crazy - quite curly and thick. When I say thick, I mean the individual hair is quite thick.
I'm first using the brown shade and once we have an outline, I'm brushing through it again and filling in with black on areas that look light.
Be careful to apply a tiny amount or else it can look quite strange.
Don't skip filling in your eyebrows, as you can see it makes a huge difference to your face.
Next I'm applying eyeshadows. Today I am going to create a neutral look and use golden and brown eyeshadows.
You can use any brand of eyeshadows that look similar to these. I'm using all MAC eyeshadows today.
First, use a shade that 1-2 shades deeper than your skintone. It will go into the crease of your eye as a transition color.
This is Cork. Use any blending brush for applying this color to your crease.
How much eyeshadow you use will depend on your skintone, quality of eyeshadow & kind of brush you use. Also, it will depend on what kind of look you are creating.
The next eyeshadow is this shimmery one called woodwinked and this is quite a popular shade for Indian skintones.
It's a subtle gold that's great for every day wear and for wedding/parties. I'm applying this shade using a flat brush like this to my eyelid.
Keep in mind to stay below the crease (where we applied the first shade).
Next, I am using this bronze eyeshadow called Romp to deepen up the outer corner of my eye.
This is also a beautiful shade on Indian skintones. I'm using the same brush we used for the first shade.
We'll apply it to this area and blend it with the gold eyeshadow on our lid.
I'm taking this shade half way across my lid.
Next I am taking this deeper brown shade on a small blending crease brush.
This shade is called ground brown and its a MAC eyeshadow as well.
I'm applying this color just to the outer corner of my eyes and also taking it along my crease.
When you open your eyes, you can see this line and that's called the crease of your eye.
Now I am going back to the first eyeshadow we had used (Cork) and using that to blend out the darker brown shade in the crease.
For my browbone, I recommend using something that's yellow toned and lighter than your skin tone.
This is the shade Ricepaper by MAC. I'm using this on that flat brush we had used, be careful to take only a small amount and apply it to the arch of your eyebrows.
I'm going back to my blending brush to diffuse out any harsh edges.
You can make this look darker on the outer corners if you would like but I'm not doing so today.
Moving on to the lower lashline. I'm taking woodwinked first and using the corner of my flat brush to apply it to my inner corner.
I'm taking Romp on the rest of my lower lashline
and then finally using ground brown on the outer corner.
Next, I'm using a black kajal to line my eyes. You can use any of your favourite eye pencils.
This one is by Charlotte Tilbury and this is my favourite eye pencil.
You can stop here with your eye makeup but I'm going to add a black eyeshadow just along my lashline to create a soft eyeliner.
I'm using the same black eyeshadow we used on my eyebrows and using it on an angled brush like this one.
Apply a line close to your eyelashes.
The line will be quite soft because we are using an eyeshadow.
The length of the eyeliner will also depend on your personal preference.
I'm now applying mascara to my lashes - Marc jacobs Velvet noir major volume mascara to my top lashes.
You can see what a big difference mascara
makes to the look!
I'm then using this MAC mascara on my bottom lashes.
Next I am bronzing up my face since the face loses the 3 dimensional structure after applying foundation.
To bring that back, its important to use a
darker shade.
Today I am using this Chanel Soleil tan de
chanel bronzing base.
You can use any bronzer you may have or even a darker foundation.
This is what the product looks like and 
I am using my Real Techniques contour brush with it.
I'm going to apply it like so.
This will just warm up the face a little bit.
Also, because this is a cream product, it
looks very natural on the skin.
Now, I'm going to cover my acne scarring on my cheeks with a concealer.
I use Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer for
this and my shade is SX11.
I've already made an in-depth video on this
and I'm going to link it on the screen if you are interested.
Now that its all covered, I'm going to set
my face with my MAC studio fix powder in C40.
Using that with a fluffy brush and applying
a light dusting all over.
I'm then adding some contouring to my face
and I'm using this MAC powder in the shade Shadowy.
As you can see, its much loved!
My cheeks are quite chubby as you can see, so I do like a good contour.
Also applying it to my jawline.
To contour my nose, I'm using a lighter powder.
I'm using the Kevyn Aucoin sculpting powder
in Medium
and as you can see, my nose looks a bit slimmer with this subtle contouring.
Applying the contour above and below your
lips also gives the appearance of fuller lips.
Next, I am applying highlighter and using
this golden color that matches my eye look.
I'm using this brush and applying it to the top of my cheekbones.
You can see 
the golden shine here.
I'm also applying it to the center of my nose
and my cupids bow.
I'm now applying lipstick.
I'm starting with MAC Spirit.
It's quite a nude shade for me since my lips
naturally are quite pigmented and dark.
I think I want to darken it 
a bit more.
So, I'm going in with the shade Verve, which
is darker than Spirit.
For blush, I am using this shade called Gingerly
by MAC.
Finally, to set all of this in place, use
any setting spray.
I am using this NYX matte setting spray.
Let this dry and this is the finished look!
This look will go with both western and Indian
outfits.
This look is also quite flexible, it will
go with most lipsticks.
I'm going to show you a few shades - pink
will go with it, dark lip will also work with it
red will also suit it and purple will
also go with it.
