We all often have such stylish and gracious people around us
that impends us to style
inspirations.
I am definitely attracted to people who make this effort in knowing
what suits them – their individualistic
persona and stylish ways.
Before I begin to introduce my first Muse – Let me say that
I find her one of her kind , she is
vivacious and & her charm is matchless.
She wears many hats from being an affable emcee, to a
thrilling Digital Jockey for leading
brands and yet an aspiring make-up artist too.I 'm not sure if I have said enough.
She is impish and intelligent in same measure.
Lets have a quick chat with her on what is essence of style
for her and tips for you that she
swears by :
Muse - Hello Saba , I welcome you to Muse .
Saba – Thank you. It’s an absolute pleasure.
Muse – What is your opinion on Style .What does it mean to
you.
Saba – From a rag picker to a runway model, every individual
has a unique style depending on their liking, financial status and
surroundings. To me, style essentially means being a part of the whole and yet creating
a statement. One doesn’t need to go overboard with anything to get noticed.
Muse- Could'nt agree more with you here !!
Muse –3 words on your personal style.
Saba – If I’d put
down my style statement in three words, I’d be doing injustice to all the
effort I put into styling ;). None the less,
if I really had to, I’d say comfort, color and experimental.
Muse – What are the five must haves for a closet?
Saba – Apart from the
tried and tested must haves (The Little Black Dress, A crisp white shirt, Blue Denims,
Black Pumps and a String of Pearls), the five things you got to have in your
closet are scarves, broaches, a classy hat, a flowing evening dress and a pair
of boots. With these accessories, you can style the same clothes and create
numerous different looks.
Muse - What are the five accessories that you can't do
without?
Saba – My Sunglasses, diamond studs, a watch, loafers and a
scarf
Muse – Please share one of your International and Indian
favorite Designer.
Saba – God, it’s so difficult zeroing on just one! Alexander
McQueen and Abu Jani & Sandeep Khosla
Muse - Which sports person is stylish according to you?
Saba – Fernando Alonso
Muse - Which Indian Actor /Actress is stylish according to
you?
Saba – I think Sonam
Kapoor is really stylish and thank God for that as it compensates for her
immaturity :p. Also Hritik Roshan and Saif Ali Khan are drop dead stylish.
Muse - Most stylish country according to you is and why ?
Saba – Of all the places I have been to, I think Italy has
the most stylish people. It is so refreshing to see everyone dressed in a
manner that you’d want to compliment all!
Muse – What are the 5 makeup essentials you swear by .
Saba – Lip balm/gloss, blush, mascara, kohl and pressed
powder
Muse – Most stylish person you have come across is?
Muse – What things interests you apart from your
professional work.
Saba – I love to learn and do new things all the time. Of
late I have started developing an interest in cooking and baking and am soon
hoping to take up a course for the same.
Also, I enjoy reading fiction and might come out with my own book someday. There is so much I want to do.
Muse – What inspired you to take up a professional makeup
course , which one did you
chose and why ,what was your learning take-away from the
same.
Saba- The first bridal makeup I did was when I was 14. From
there on, I was the unsaid official makeup artist for all my cousins, friends,
cousins of friends, neighbors and who not! I never thought of taking it up
professionally. Along the years I have been involved in a lot of things like
working in a research company, content writing, media relations etc. None of
these felt like ‘me’. Apart from being an anchor, the only other thing I really
enjoy doing is beautifying J.
So finally I thought, what the hell! I did an MBA even when I wasn’t really
keen then why not do a professional
course in makeup which I really want to.
Apart from module courses from MAC and Bobbi Brown, I have a
professional degree in makeup from
Illamasqua School of Makeup Art,London . I
have also completed proffesional makeup artistry course from one of
the top and most renowned celebrity makeup artists of Pakistan.
Every course that I have attended has taught me a lot. The
tricks, techniques and procedures of every artist vary. So the more number of
people who have trained you, the better, as you get to imbibe their style with
yours which in turn creates something new.
Hope you enjoyed our conversation with the
beautiful Saba Shafi.
