Winter blues is a term that has been glorified in umpteen songs and movies. With designers like Marc Jacobs banking on this stunning eye colour for their runway shows is just perfect for this season. Mac and Shiseido have some awesome shimmering shades of cobalt and royal blue to add that edgy eye drama. Cream versions which can be patted along from lash line to crease are just oooo-laaa-laaaa. What’s more all shades from Curacao to powder blue work for all skin colour types. Bleed blue beauties!

One colour which has joined the blue bandwagon is Purple. Catwalks have vouched for this colour throughout the runway seasons. Get ready to invade your makeup kits with shades of orchid, lavender, lilac. Start with tips of the eyes on the outside instead of going overboard with the colour as it has tendency to wash out your lips.

We love getting Catty…Don’t we? Admit it we all girls do. There are tons of DIY videos on Youtube to give you that amateur to expert tutorials on how to do the cat eye look. They accentuate your face like no other eye trend. If you worried about smudging, use a thin cotton swab dipped in makeup remover to get a clean neat line. While we talk about catty, the envy can’t be behind. A pop of green eye shadow on a neutral face adds that zingy finish to your look.

Extra-long false lashes will give you the doll like prettiness to enjoy the winter’s chilly weather. Versace, Gucci, Prada and Top Shop showcased their models with cloggy mascaras for those voluminous, long lashes in their Autumn-Winter Shows 2019

For the makeup lovers who try to push it a mile further, ethereal white eye shadow and liner will do the trick for you.

Make up for this Summer

As approaching to the hottest season, we start to worry what make up to put on as we might sweat and ruin our make up embarrassing ourselves. Coming from Hyderabad as my home town I know the heat what every woman in the city goes through summers .But don’t you worry I am here to help to knowing some tips about make up in summers…

My friends, relatives and Brides ask for an advice on what make up to wear in this heating up summer which would not look cakey and more or less sweat proof…So here are few questions which might run into your mind

1.       What is the best make up in summer?

2.       Should I wear waterproof, mineralized or regular base?

3.       What colours are in? and so on….

So, let’s start with lesson 1. Which is the base of everything “keep your skin Hydrated” . Have lots of water, lemon soda or any of your favourite juice which will help your skin to be healthy and you will get a natural glow..

The basics of prepping the skin with primer serum is already discussed in my previous blog so I am going to skip that part...

Choose your foundation wisely; try one colour close to your skin tone on one side of your face and try another on the other side, go out in sun and check which looks the best as natural light is the best light to judge your make up. I would recommend my personal favourite Mac match master or loreal and Revlon are also good brands to invest in.

Mineralising ones are very good for summers it soaks in and doesn’t give a cakey look. Look for a foundation which is like all in one concealer, compact and foundation. As for the blush go in for a cooler shades, preferably powder based as creamy ones might make your face look oily. Pink would be the best to invest for a long term basis, u can go in for a matte one for regular use and shimmer for any special occasion. This you could buy from any good brand without burning your pocket...

As for make up there is no fixed trend of colours you should always wear what you are comfortable in but there is no harm in trying something new. If  you are a person  who likes to be subtle then you can go for some warm colours of baby pink beige golden  for eyes  and little darker on the lips. If you are a person who likes to experiment with make up you can play around with pinks, blues or even black but make sure you highlight any one part of your face either your eyes or your lips. BLUE is the colour for summers, U can experiment with that colour blending it with some beige in the inner corner and blue on the outer corner, this look can be carried off for day as well as night make up. U can even try blue smoky look which goes well for partying. Play off with different shades of pinks ranging from rani pink to fusia pink for your lips. Complete your look with a nice liner or a kajal with mascara preferably waterproof. Lakme eyekonic is economical as well as waterproof.

Essentials in your purse:

Blend each any every type of product which you use on your face. Remember makeup doesn’t mean you should possibly show the world u have some on…
