When yr young, i dont think you need to cake on foundation. Given indian heat, and the fact that teenagers in India spend 90% of their time frolicking around markets and travelling in tuk-tuks to catch the next movie (atleast i did), foundations are just going to melt away …Go with a tinted moisturizer for everyday wear. Some affordable options are:
Ponds Tinted Moisturizer : Rs 275/- (I cant live without this , this is my skin saviour!)
Lakme Silk Naturelle Foundation: Rs 275/-
Lakme Daily wear Souffle (It didnt work for me, but i know my 18 year old sister loves it): Rs 99/-
- Colored liners:
Lakme 9 to 5 defining eyeliner : Rs 250-275/-
Suggested color :Purple, Sapphire, Jade, Black
Colorbar I glide pencils Rs 325/-
Suggested Colors: Electra, Prunella, Jaded, Cocobar
Avon Glimmer sticks Rs 229/- (Can get them for cheaper during avon offers)
Suggested Colors: Majestic Plum, Starry Blue Night
Elle 18 Eye Dazzlers : Less than Rs 100/-
- Kohl Pencils
Color bar Kajal : Rs 99 /-
Lakme Black Satin : Rs 150 /-
Lotus Herbals Kajal : Rs 115 /-
Elle 18 kohl : Rs 40-70/-
- Eyeshadows
I like to buy my eyeshadows in pallette form so i would recommend you get one of the following from www.buyincoins.com. They have free shipping, and they sell the same pallettes that coastal scents sells but without the CS brand name, and hence much cheaper
78 Eye shadow Pallette – Rs 500/- (Has 78 eyeshadows of different colors)
Maybelline Quads are also good options but they lack pigmentation
- Black Eye Liner
Lakme Insta Liner : Rs 100 ? (Not sure, about this- i bought mine for 50 bux long ago, but i think they raised the price) Its my go to eyeliner. Been using it since i was like 17
Maybelline Gel Liner :Rs 325/- ( Good for upper lash line, will cause irritation if used on lower lash line like kohl)
Maybelline NY expert wear : Rs 195/-
Suggested Colors: Berry Sorbet, Apricot Flush (love this)
Color bar blushes: Rs 250/- (LOVE these!)
Suggested Colors: Peachy Rose, Just Earth, Cosmic Rose
NYX Blushes: Rs 250/- (If bought via e-bay)
Suggested Color: Dont own any of these so cant suggest colors.You might want to check out the Ultimate Blush Guide here for NYX recommendations
Maybelline dream matte mousse blushes: (If you dont have sensitive skin) Rs 195/-
Suggested Colors: Peach Satin(If yr fair), Soft Plum

Thank you so much! This will be very helpful. I do own many of the products from out here..like the Maybelline Quads n lots of other Maybelline stuff..
Also, I prefer lipsticks to lip-glosses, for some reason. I feel like lip-glosses make me look sick..

@anamika- Thanks!!! Im sure the mascara list will be helpful to the girls.
@Perdi- aww, thanks sweetie..checking out yr blog now

Dear, your cherry culture experience… my heart sinks and I feel suffocated. Believe me, I feel exatcly the way I wrote. I hope you get your package soon or just sue cherry culture…I wish it was possible…
When I was younger, I used to think lipsticks were only for older people too, and that I would never ever wear them LOL! Then I grew up and realized that lipstick can really complement a look
Nice post… Elle18 is also a good budget buy. And lip balms: Lotus Herbals. They're around Rs 75-80 and quite good!
@speaking chic- oh yes..how did i forget elle 18..lemme add..thanks!
