00:00Less is more in makeup, not in clothes.
00:03It's fun to wear something really western when you're in India,
00:06but it's a lot of fun to wear Indian when you're not in India.
00:10Hi, this is Preeti G Zinta and you're watching me on Root.
00:13How does it feel to be at Cannes?
00:15It's wonderful. I'm coming after a long time.
00:18I'm very excited and happy to be here.
00:25Well, this is the first time I'm doing a getting ready with.
00:29So I usually like a very quiet space when I'm getting ready.
00:3310 minutes of silence before I get ready.
00:36Otherwise, no, I'm fine.
00:39I just don't like to get ready in a big rush.
00:42And now with little kids, I'm always getting ready in a big rush.
00:46So never say never.
00:52I have very little patience.
00:53So I would say, Jay, you say one hour.
00:57Less, it's like 20 minutes.
00:58No, not 20 minutes.
00:59Don't spoil my name.
01:00Yeah, one hour, one hour, one hour.
01:03So I wash my face.
01:06I use moisturizer.
01:08I use sunscreen and a primer before doing makeup.
01:12That's about it.
01:13I keep it simple.
01:14Not too much drama, not too many things.
01:18I like moisturizer.
01:19Yes, but sunscreen.
01:20Sunscreen is very important.
01:22I take off all my makeup.
01:24I wash it off.
01:26And I'm done.
01:26I think for me, it's more underplayed, more simple.
01:30Less is more in makeup, not in clothes.
01:38I do love Indian clothes.
01:39I think Indian clothes are stunning.
01:42Some occasions, it's nice to go Vahoom, depending on what the mood is, what the vibe is.
01:51But I don't think one should ever forget your roots.
01:56So I really hope I could also do Western clothes or dresses or gowns
02:03with Indian materials and fabrics and brocades.
02:07I haven't seen that yet, but I would like to see that.
02:09But otherwise, it really depends what the occasion is.
02:12It's fun to wear something really Western when you're in India.
02:16But it's a lot of fun to wear Indian when you're not in India.
02:21Well, there's a spotlight in India, on India, and I wanted to do an Indian designer.
02:29It's an Indian outfit.
02:32The look is a little bit of smoky eyes, not too heavy, but the rest of it, a little dewy.
02:40Something, the color's light.
02:42So obviously, there's a little bit more on the lips.
02:46But usually, I prefer as little makeup as possible.
02:51So I'm wearing a really pretty saree.
02:54Here it is.
02:58This is it.
02:59It's a designer I have never worn before.
03:01Her name is Seema Gujral.
03:03I really like the simplicity of it.
03:07And yet, it's got a nice shimmer to it.
03:11It's very much like me, understated.
03:16Sparkles.
03:18Well, they're going to be high, not sky high, because yesterday, I kind of hurt myself.
03:23My leg was hurting.
03:26Having said that, here it is.
03:29If you want to see that.
03:31Maybe she can run in these.
03:33No, I don't know if I'm going to go with these.
03:36But usually, I carry something later on.
03:41I always have one flat pair, not really.
03:44Today, I don't know.
03:46But usually, I do.
03:47I think it's about comfort.
03:48And when you're 20, it's okay to be dying in something.
03:54But you want to look great.
03:57But I think as you get older, you're just like, okay, comfort is very, very important.
04:01So of course, you look good.
04:02But you can still carry yourself with lesser heels or something more relaxed.
04:06So you're just fashion should be more comfortable.
04:12Fashion should be wow.
04:14But it should also be feeling good about yourself, not what how others perceive you,
04:18but also how you perceive yourself.
04:20So if you're feeling good, I think the best accessory you can have in fashion is your
04:24attitude.
04:25So if you feel good, everything about you is good.
04:28If you don't feel good, you can wear the most amazing outfit.
04:32And then you're still like, this is the bag I'm going to carry.
04:35It's a Prada.
04:37It's vintage.
04:38I've had it for a lot of years.
04:42But this is one of my favorite bags.
04:44So I thought it would add a little color to it.
04:47My look is simple yet with a little bit of sparkle.
04:51Understated.
