The hottest look this Spring-Summer is a naturally illuminated complexion and how better to rock this trend than with Lakme’s Illuminating range launched during Lakme Fashion Week 2016? The illuminating range is all about shimmer, not gloss, and is the perfect way to own the softly illuminated and feminine look that’s so in right now. The muse of this beauty theme is the shine of crystals. So while 2015 was the year of sculpt contour, 2016 will be all about illuminating and strobing. Let’s a look at the best buys from this new range.
Take your eyeliner game to the next level with these metallic beauties. The smooth texture makes it super easy to glide on the eyelid.  It comes in a retractable twist up pencil, which makes it easier to use and carry. They are available in three shades. Check out the color review below.
