My name is Anu and I'm the person behind the rantings on this blog. I strive to give you an honest view of whatever it is I'm writing to you about.
You might have guessed but I am obsessed with all things make-up. As I am currently in grad school I don't have the time to put my lessons learned during art school to use so I make my face my canvas (before this would be literal and you'd see me walking around campus with green and blue paint on my face/hair clothes). When my study load becomes too heavy I tend to take longer to update.
In also freelance as a make-up artist as a side job. I have found out that I love food and must therefore work to supply that. I also want to apologise if I don't email or respond to your comments immediately. My brain is so muddled sometimes I forget to get back to you.
You can contact me at anu@indianmakeupdiva.com.

Hey Anu,
1:04 PMI am a person who surf the web for make-up tips and tricks. I am a subscriber of a lot of blogs, Youtube channels etc. relating to fashion and make-up, but yours is the only blog I found that caters to Indian/brown skinned people. I feel like I stumbled up on a treasure of make up tips. Please continue to do the good work and don't stop. Also, good luck with your studies too!
I love your blog! I'm a fashionista desi girl who lives in Colorado and was looking long and hard for a blog that helps me with makeup. You do a great job, looking forward to reading more. BTW, You are gorgeous!

9:16 AMhow did i not know this blog existed! 've been looking for something like this for a long time!!! good goin' girl.
2:54 PMHey, love the blog...i was wonderin when you were talking about the MAC make up were you referring to Studio Fix or Select SPF? I don't understand how colours in both are so differant. Also do you find you have a green tint?
5:00 AMHello there anu
4:04 AMThis is possibly the only blog that reaaaallly talks about indian skin and not africaan american, native american skin etc.
So I have been in the market looking for a foundation for about 10 years. Never found a perfect shade for my skin - it is in between shade and no brand really makes that color. Since I wear it so rarely - foundaations and even mineral powders just feel heavy on the skin.
Do you have a recommendation for a good foundation or powder that provides coverage without feeling heavy for idian skin? Also, is my only option the prescritives counter to blend my custom foundation? The problem though is that they always mix the wrong color since they just dont know indian skin!
Hi,
4:33 AMI am Pradnya and I have recently started following your blog and it has made for very interesting reading.
I represent Maybelline New York, a cosmetics brand. Maybelline has launched a new product, Whitestay UV www.whitestayuvzone.com – a compact that has an anti-tanning effect. It’s the first ever compact that provides SPF 18 protection and at the same time gives a nice glow. This compact comes in five different shades – Fawn, Nude, Natural, Light Ivory and Ivory. It is ideal for women on the go who need a quick touch up and also want protection from the sun without the greasiness a sunscreen gives.
Maybelline has launched an interesting widget http://www.whitestayuvzone.com/index.aspx to promote its new compact. It was observed that when people upload their pictures on social networking websites, their pictures often appear dull and dark. Maybelline has come up with an innovative widget that allows users to upload their pictures and brighten it instantly. One also has an option of downloading the widget on to their desktops.
We would love it if you could try out the compact and let us know what you think about it. Also the widget – let us know if you found it useful. We can arrange to send you the compact in any part of India.
Let us know how you would like to take this forward. If you need any further information, I would be glad to help you out.
Take care,
Pradnya
