I'm working on a comic featuring these two. I haven't drawn Ms. Manager in a while and I donthink I've ever drawn Chip, so I made this as practice.

Nyuk!

Get the look: Going Au Naturale

With the fashion industry booming, one shouldn’t only expect models and celebs to pose like style icons but also corporate divas. Arshy Ahmad, the digital and media manager at L’oreal Pakistan, surely got some heads turning at the launch of L’oreal Academy in Karachi with her natural and dewy look. Here is a breakdown of what she wore and how you can emulate her look:

Hair

Arshy let her short, layered hair down that evening. We really wish she had made an effort to blow-dry her hair or tie it up. Nonetheless, if you are lazy and still want to make it through the day, you can go for a similar style by just applying a bit of untangling serum and pushing your hair sideways with your fingers.

Outfit

Ms Manager was sporting a ramp outfit in broad daylight! Her top is from Sana Maskatiya’s much-loved PFDC 2013’s Aaghaz collection which is easily available at her retail outlet in Dolmen City Mall. A pair of similar skinny jeans with zipper ankles can be found at Debenhams (Rs5,500) or local outlets such as Stoneage. Check out Levis factory outlet for a cheaper alternative (Rs3,500).

Make-up

We are glad that Arshy did not cover her face with layers and layers of heavy make-up. Just like the rest of her look, her make-up too, was breezy, summery and simple. Apply a bit of Body Shop’s Vitamin E tinted moisturiser (Rs1,500) followed by Rimmel’s natural bronzer (Rs1,200) to keep it natural yet glowing. For the eyes, use Rimmel’s Lycra lash extender (Rs1,200) and MAC’s Vapour eye shadow (Rs1,500). Arshy cleverly balances her nude make-up with a pop of colour on the lips. Try out L’oreal’s colour riche lipstick in Blush Fever shade (Rs1,800).

Accessories and Shoes

While we love her uncomplicated, vanilla look, we would have appreciated some more bling — a shiny necklace or bracelet, perhaps? However, Arshy keeps it to a bare minimum with a silver band on her finger and silver stud earrings. These are easily available at Sentiments (Rs600). For a similar pair of strappy kitten heels, check out WalkEaze (Rs2,000) or Debenhams (Rs4,000).
