On a warm summer afternoon as the heat left its print on the streets of Mumbai and natty shopaholics avoided the summer sun’s scorching glare through their tinted Gucci glasses, a few sophisticated women daintily sipped on fresh juice and nibbled on lemon and chocolate mini tarts as they intently learnt about skin moisturising techniques, tones and shadow tints to look their dazzling best this season. After all, the perfect gloss for a perfect finish and how to glow like a fashion week showstopper for the runway called life was the agenda of the day. Verve recently partnered with luxury brand Estée Lauder to give select readers a makeover session at the Trident Galleria. Key guests included columnist and jeweller Queenie as she dazzled in her sun-kissed yellow and orange top while experimenting with the Estée Lauder Magnascopic Mascara, designer Jamini Ahluwalia, brand consultant Nisha Jamval and jeweller Pooonam Soni watched every intricate detail as beauty consultants transformed the damsels to divas. As the ladies continued to get the right look, writer Bachi Karkaria preferred to focus on skin consultation tips provided by experts while designer Shazneen Engineer went ahead and shopped to her heart’s content. As the day progressed, guests placed their orders for the new Fuschia Spring Colour palette. In fact, the fashionistas who placed the orders for the products will be among the first women in Mumbai to receive the limited-edition fuschia colour palette!
