Well, she is the one who can emulate the makeup from any magazine cover or any Bollywood actress. But for one, she is not the one who follows only directions. She eyes for the right makeup on the right person. We asked her to give her opinions on the following and she replied most candidly.
She says curtly, “the word dusky should be dropped altogether.” She adds that, so many people in the world just die to get a skin tone like a tan and dusky skin. According to her, best makeup for such skin type is Glossy. And the colour palette should be warm tones rather the cool ones.
Contouring is something she loves. She feels that in this Instagram friendly world, it is the need of the hour. Especially for a bride who is going to be clicked from every angle, it is necessary to highlight her strong features.
Vinnie Kapoor says that when she has a bride who has skin issues, she would recommend her to visit a dermatologist first. Also, she makes sure to use skin products which are skin friendly and does not have any side effects.
There are many people who have tattoos or marks which they would like to hide with makeup. Vinnie Kapoor knows very well how to manage them

For all the beautiful girls who are going to be brides soon, Vinnie Kapoor has three important things to share and they are. ” Hydrate, Hydrate and Hydrate”. Have liquids in good quantities for a glowing bridal skin. Another important aspect is to use oils for skin unless you have very oily skin. And lastly, do apply moisturisers and lotions at night. it is the best time when your skin gets to rest and time to heal.
For daily use, she suggests using a Gulabari. Just sprinkle on your skin and see it freshen up. Another therapy could be rubbing ice on your face. If you have applied makeup on your face, then don’t wipe but just dab with tissues for keeping makeup intact.
