With the COVID-19 threat looming large over us, sharing of information and experimenting with innovative ideas have become an important part of life.

As many as100 women in Ludhiana got an opportunity to connect with oneanother and attend a workshop, Glam and Glow, on Zoom. Make-up artist Shweta Gupta shared important tips on beauty and make-up.

Shweta said, “Break every convention in make-up and while you are at it, break every convention in life. In make-up, as in life, there are only guidelines, no rules.”

With the lockdown, many of us feel low but it is important to be positive and pampering ourselves is a step towards it. “When you love yourself, you glow from inside. While staying at home, by using limited products you can get the desired results. Lemon, tomato and honey can make you glow. It is so good to connect with so many women with the help of technology,” said Shweta.

Divya Oswal, managing director, Oswal Educare, said, “The session was comprehensive yet not too technical. It was for every budget, and every occasion. Such easy make-up tips are important for a person like me, who is working and can spare little time on grooming,”she said.

The interesting part of this session was that almost all the participants were in their ‘casual’best. While some were listening to this informative session while sitting on a couch, few others were seen sipping tea or coffee but all looked alert and interested in the conversation.

Shikha Kapila, from Roopkala store, said, “I believe that make-up enhances one’s personality. It should not be loud or dull. One should know how to use make-up to highlight one’s best features. Make-up plays an important role in the life of today’s women.”

Shilpa Mittal, who runsa boutique by the name Shimr.al, hadmany questions for the make-up artist.She said, “Shweta is a thorough professional and a dear friend. I asked few basic questions concerning make-up, myths, products etc. We all enjoyed the session and we are going to try out the beauty tips given by the artist. The session definitely brightened up the dull lockdown phase to certain extent.”
