Tips for Budding fashion designers

Rehane - a leading fashion designer from Chennai gives some useful tips for budding fashion designers who want to make it big.

Your first collection may be small but it has to be very effective and should create an impact.

  • After the first collection, keep on working, do not thnk that you have arrived.

  • Chennai is a difficult market, so wait for returns.

  • Take care not to invest all the money in a single collection.

  • Have a well charted out plan for two years and then work on a big collection

  • Avoid buying fabrics that you don't need.

  • If you can try to find someone with good business acumen so that you can
    concentrate on the creative side without worries.

  • Try to branch out to other metros.

  • Understand your client's needs.

  • Try not to compromise.


    On how to apply makeup

    Samantha Kochhar, one of the country's leading Make-up artists, gives us some very useful make-up tips.

  • First and foremost, throw away the items in your make-up kit that are more than two years old.

  • When applying lipstick, fill in your lips with a lip liner first. By this way the second coat of lipstick stays longer.

  • For people with dark coloured lips, apply some foundation and lip balm first, then a lighter shade of lip colour, say a pink. Then apply lip gloss and over it the original lipstick you have chosen.

  • If you see any liquid or water coming out of the lipstick, keep it in a refrigerator.

  • If you mix foundation and sunscreen in equal quantities and apply, it makes for an excellent day make-up that also protects the skin.

  • If the foundation starts to curdle, do not use it anymore.

  • When you are buying a concealer, buy something that is one shade lighter than your skin tone.

  • Before applying make-up, follow the CTW procedure (Cleaning, Toning and Moisturising). Follow the same for removing make-up.

  • Any make-up is good only for 6-7 hours.

  • For beautiful and mysterious eyes, use 3-4 shades of eye shadow on your eyes. Apply a darker shade towards the edges of eye-lashes.

  • For dusky complexioned people, use burgundy and maroon range
    of lipsticks.

  • Avoid using very old lipsticks. They might cause pigmentation of the lips.
