I always try to involve with my followers by growing up communications in social media platforms. Putting stories, polls, question answer sessions and sometimes live sessions help me to reach them.
I always try to connect with them, listen to them, what type of content they are looking for on my feed. This is how I do my part.
RK : First of all Heartiest congratulations on winning the Retro Kolkata Beauty influencer of the year Award . How does it feel to win the award?
Shaswati Biswas : At first I would like to Thank Retro Kolkata for giving me this award. I am honoured. Yeah it feels great. Receiving the award in front of a large audience was really amazing...Thanks RK, You made my day...
RK : What was the first thought that came to your mind when we announced your name as the Award winner?
Shaswati Biswas : My first thought was .. " Oh my GOD ... is it me??".. To be very honest.. I was not expecting the award..and when you announced my name I was like WOW..
RK : Do you see yourself as an "Blogger & influencer", and if so , what does that mean to you?
Shaswati Biswas : Yes I do. I just want to create my own style, own content and want to make my own story in my way. I always try to do something unique. Everyone have their own and unique style, and that makes him/her different from others.
RK : When did you start blogging/ social media and was your motivation for getting started ?
Shaswati Biswas : To be very honest, I started it very casually... but then I thought that my contents can somehow influence someone, and I started doing it quite regularly. My parents and friends always motivate me. Then the Brands started reaching me and my followers started liking my contents. I am always thankful to them...
RK : You have an exceptionally unique look. Where does your style savvy come from, and where do you get your inspiration?
Shaswati Biswas : I am taking it as a compliment. Thank you so very much. Well, as I said earlier, I just want to create my own style statement. According to me, Style is not only a fashion statement or what you wear or how you wear, it is how you present yourself in front of the world.
You should be confident as well as down to earth to create something distinctive and that makes you unique. My parents inspire me a lot in that case. All thanks goes to them and also my followers inspire me to do new things again and again...Lots of love for them too.
RK : How do you get involved with your followers and find the best way to give them the content they want ?
Shaswati Biswas : I always try to involve with my followers by growing up communications in social media platforms. Putting stories, polls, question answer sessions and sometimes live sessions help me to reach them.
I always try to connect with them, listen to them, what type of content they are looking for on my feed. This is how I do my part.
RK : In your opinion, how important are ethical standards for the fashion bloggers & influencers?
Shaswati Biswas : First of all, you should be true to yourself. Ethics is the soul of your content. Influencing people is to lead the audience towards a positive direction. I never compromise with it and no one should. I try to guide people in a right way. That’s the MANTRA to grow organically. Money shouldn't overpower your morality.
RK : Where do you see Yourself five years down the lane? Any future plan?
Shaswati Biswas : Actually I don’t see that much far. But I try to sustain in this industry as much as I can and will try to create unique stuffs as I am doing now rather will try to improve myself.
RK : Do you have any Beauty/Skin care tips or Tricks to look fresh and restyed for early morning Photo shoot ??
Shaswati Biswas : For early morning photo shoot, usually I do very light makeup ; at first clean up my face by a mild face wash, then use a face toner and sometimes I use face mist , after that I am always use a face moisturizer, foundation and then Kajal - lipstick must .
