Shalini Vadhera's Look for Emmanuelle Chriqui
Labels: Copycat, Make-Up Artist Interviews 9 commentsEdit: I got an email with a breakdown of Emmanuelle Chriqui's look from a rep for Shalini Vadhera. I asked her to keep me updated with such breakdowns and hopefully I will get a chance to talk to her and bombard her with questions. And yes, I'm still trying to finish my huge 25-page long single spaced paper tomorrow (just reread the page length again and imagine what kind of a state I am in now). Also, it feels great not to be known as the 'crazy make-up breakdown stalker lady.' For once, I didn't hound anyone until they cried.
I know Emmanuelle Chriqui isn't technically desi, but her make-up would look beautiful on a lot of desi ladies. Also, she is of Moroccan Jewish ancestry. I guess if I can get asked what part of Saudi Arabia India is in, she can qualify for being brown too (I'm being sarcastic, but I have been asked this a few times).
As the weather warms up I am sure you’re considering makeup looks for spring & summer! Shalini Vadhera, celebrity makeup artist and author of Passport to Beauty, recently created a stunning beauty look for actress Emmanuelle Chriqui (HBO’s “Entourage”) before she walked the red carpet at a Beverly Hills event.
Shalini Vadhera calls this look "a chic, natural but sexy." Here's how to get the look.
Step 1:
Shalini prepped and brightened Emmanuelle’s skin with Global Goddess Beauty Upgrade Complexion Face Primer and then applied Complexion Perfection Foundation to give her skin a flawless finish.
Step 2:
South Pacific Shimmer Bronzer served a dual purpose as an eyeshadow base and to warm up her cheeks. It’s one of Emmanuelle’s personal faves!
Step 3:
The Sizzling Serengeti Tribal Quad Eyeshadows in
Step 4:
Lastly, Shalini applied Sandstorm Lip Veil to gloss up Emmanuelle’s lips and Floating Diamonds Face & Body Shimmer for an all-over glow.
Follow these simple steps and you too can achieve Emmanuelle’s gorgeous Global Goddess look!

Lovely look babe, thanks for the find :) She does look a bit like Vidya Balan, doesn't she? Ha seriously, some people need to look at the atlas once in a while. It is like for most North Indian anyone south of the Vindhyas is Madrasi. Gah!

Hey Indian Girl,
I like it too. I believe the email was sent to me by a rep for shalini vadhera, so if this is true I'll try and find out more looks shalini has done. I actually lie a lot of her looks she had up a long time ago on her website.
hey ilovecheese,
you have no idea how good it feels to not be the crazy make-up stalker lady. and you will not believe what happened with the whole india is in saudi arabia thing.
here's what happened. i went to starbucks a while back and they didn't have my vanilla almond biscotti. i was disappointed and the lady behind me was too. so while I waited for my friend to get her coffee she and i chatted over nonsensical things.
then i told her i need a vacation after my comps and was planning a trip to india among other things. she told me 'oooo that sounds lovely. are you indian?' i confirmed this. and then she said 'what part of saudi arabia is india in again?' i politely told her it wasnt in saudi arabia. and her answer was 'oh i get the middle east and saudi arabia confused all the time.'
i know, i'm a godawful person for posting this and i should be ashamed of myself since it is cruel but it was a special moment. she meant well though :)

I love her make-up! She looks typically Moroccan to me, though. Then again, I'm Arab, and I get asked which part of India I'm from all the time. Indian women are so beautiful - it flatters to be mistaken for one!

Arabesque, it's not just you. She looks Moroccan to me too.
