Ratna Gulzar

Weaving a thread of elegant fashion statements in Bangladesh, the graceful Ratna Gulzar creates designer haute couture. She is a beautiful fashion extraordinaire and pioneer of her own fashion line 'Ratna Gulzar'. In a candid interview with Star Showbiz she shared some of her beauty secrets.

SKINCARE

Ratna Gulzar barely wears makeup and believes simplicity is the key to flawless beauty. She prefers using organic coconut oil to wipe her makeup off, further to remove her skin's impurities she uses The Body Shop Tea Tree Regime Kit which consists of Tea Tree Face Wash, Tea Tree Skin Clearing Mattifying Toner, and Tea Tree Oil.  Additionally pampering her skin with extra moisture for day and night, she applies Elizabeth Arden Millenium Night Renewal Cream and Elizabeth Arden Millenium Day Renewal Emulsion Apart. However, she adds sun screen to her routine as well to keep her skin protected from the harmful rays of the sun. She also treats her hand and nail with care by using Marks & Spencer Floral Collection Moisturizing Hand Cream.

HAIRCARE

In order to keep her hair smooth and shiny she gets a hair treatment once a month. As she has colored hair she uses color protect shampoo to lock the shine and intensity of the hair color.

MAKEUP

For her everyday errands she simply applies Simplysiti SPF on her face and Marc Jacobs mascara for eyes. However, when she goes to a party or dawaat she creates a base for her makeup with Mac Primer followed by Hourglass Cosmetics Foundation. To sharpen her features she uses Benefit Cosmetics bronzer, Too Faced blush and Hourglass Cosmetics highlighter. Her favorite lipstick brands are Too Faced and Jeffree Star, among the other brands she also fancies Christian Dior Lipstick. She prefers light, beige and pink lipstick shades and overall favors the minimalistic look. Amongst her everyday essential need is her sprinkle of eau de cologne over her body, Dolce Floral Drops, Dolce & Gabbana and Versace Yellow Diamond Perfume.

REGULAR WEAR

Comfortable, classy and confident wear is what she embodies every day. She loves to wear cotton salwar kameez or kurtis because of the humid weather that we have in our country.

PARTY WEAR

To exhibit our Bangladeshi culture she sportingly drapes herself in a saree for parties and special occasions. She believes that the epitome of grace is a Bengali woman in saree.
