San Valiente & My Makeup Journey

If someone asks me "Tell me about the best days in your life", I will say the days I spent living in San Valiente Apartment and enjoying with my friends. It is like a little India 😊. Always safe and sound. One cannot get a feeling of living in America when you are staying in this apartment. The environment is friendly and calm. At the north side of the apartment runs a long canal, and I cannot forget the days I strolled alongside the canal. Endless potlucks, birthday parties, barbecues made me remember my days as a spinster. The stay in San Valiente always taught me how to be an independent woman, socialize, and make friends. This is the place where I discovered and explored my hobbies, practiced, and took it to next level. Out of my hobbies list, I have specifically shown interest in the art of makeup and tried on my San Valiente Friends. Through this blog, I thank my buddies Mohana, Nithya & Tashawna who volunteered for the makeover sessions.

Let me begin with the stylish tamizhachi, Mohana. She is a fashion diva and always trendy with her looks, shoes, and branded handbags. Being the mother of twins, she is an exceedingly lively person. I tried different makeup looks on her which suit her personality. One is a traditional makeover, and another is a party look. For the traditional makeup, I did a black smokey eye, which accentuated her beautiful eyes. I made sure the eye makeup, blush, and lipstick color all merged and went well with her authentic vivid, and vibrant attire.

For the party look, I concentrated more on her captivating eyes, which opened her beauty. I applied purple and violet eyeshadow at the outer corner and light purple glitter at the inner corner of the eyes. Again, the makeup suited well with her party attire and the look was more womanish and romantic.

Next, my best friend Nithya. We had a remarkably close bond during my stay in San Valiente. We had the same frequency and spent hours together in the nail spa along with Mohana during our leisure time. Very cool person and particularly with excellent cooking skills. She naturally has great flawless skin with gorgeous sharp features and the makeup glided smoothly on her skin. Shortly to say, she is a south Indian beauty. I applied a foiled turquoise eyeshadow on her eyelids and lined it with bold black eyeliner around her eyes. We selected her whole attire in the shades of turquoise blue, which matched her to a greater extent. Perfect lipstick shade for the perfect smile 😊. Unfortunately, my friends, I did not track the products used on Nithya.

Lastly, let me write about my buddy, Tashawna. She is an exceptionally beautiful, calm, and delicate person. I always admired her way of getting along with all kinds of people with different cultural backgrounds. Very flexible and admirable woman. We had the best days of vacationing and staying together at Pine Top Cabin and exploring nature. We had a lot of fun moments which I will always cherish in my memory. The makeover I tried on her was a no-makeup or daily office wear makeup look. Her eye makeup was a mild smokey eye look. The contouring was very perfect on her natural chiseled cheekbones, and it highlighted her beauty more. Her eyebrow was perfectly shaped using Benefit eyebrow powder. As a finishing touch, her fishtail braid fitted her outfit and makeup.

Finally, I would like to quote a saying by Pen it Down Journals:

"Makeup Is Art Beauty Is Spirit"

It does not matter which makeup suits you; you are always a natural beauty. All these makeup looks can be recreated with any combination of products if you think about trying it on you. Keep practicing until you get finer results. The carefree days of living in San Valiente apartments and the thoughts of my friends will always stay close to my heart.
