Meet Edward Shimray, (Artist MAC Hyderabad) & Zing (Owner, Sero's Hair and Makeup studio)

Edward might be this deep thinking, extremely quiet, sarcastic crazy artist, but to me, he has been a friend for almost two years now, teaching me a trick or 2, correcting my makeup, sharing a laugh, and advising me (not just about makeup!) When I met him first (at MAC), he was this really quiet 'artsy' guy with a kickass 'real' Mohawk (Not the one you saw every guy sporting in 2007!) I think we actually bonded when we played the guessing game of where I actually am from (Isn't that a fun one. now?). That was then, and today I am friends with him and his very beautiful, very kind, equally talented wife Zing! Today laughs are shared, and so is lunch. The 'bathroom conversations' with your female friends? Ya. That's been done too. 

They are friends. They know crazy amounts about hair and makeup. This is a lifestyle/beauty blog. They should feature here!

So I decided to exploit them both and made them bbm me their top 10 products. Edward being a MAC loyalist, vowed not to venture out. Hence, Zing had to give us her top 10 strictly not MAC.

Now here is what they have to say-

Eyes: Smoulder eye kohl,Swiss Chocolate eyeshadow, Zoomlash mascara, Lips: MAC Red Lipstick
