Gearing up
for the big
day
The first thing Bhagat warns against is
colour. “Do not play with synthetic
colours, which most of us end up
doing without realising how damaging
they can be for the skin. Synthetic
colours are like dyes and contain harsh
chemicals that make the skin dry and
cause irritation. They lead to other skin
problems such as rashes, boils,
pigmentation (brown patches), cuts,
peeling and burning of the skin as well
as skin allergies because the Indian
woman has delicate skin.” In extreme
cases, says Bhagat, the colours may
even cause blindness.
He also recommends avoiding oil
paints in black, metallic colours such
as gold and silver and dark colours
such as purple and blue. “Colours with
shimmer contain glass particles,” he
says. “Use light colours such as green,
yellow and red.”
