10 rules to get a perfect pout #LipstickCommandments

Lipstick is that one magical tool out of all your makeup products which can bring your makeup game up or drastically down. In fact, you can take over the world with just red lips and no makeup on. But with lipstick, comes the pout… Even selfies look incomplete without a perfect pout. So, take a look at these lipstick commandments and follow these 10 beauty rules which can help you get a perfect pout.

#1 Start with well exfoliated lips: Gently exfoliate any dry skin by lightly rubbing your lips with a damp washcloth, followed by a moisturising lip balm.

#2 Know your formulae: Matte lips can be long-lasting but may dry your lips out, whereas, creamy formulae are hydrating but may not last for a longer time. Choose wisely.

#3 Use lip pencil for color intensity: Lining your lips neutralizes the natural color of your lips so the lipstick will be more opaque and closer to the color in the lipstick tube.

#4 Lipstick brush will help lipstick last longer: Take your time to apply the lipstick with a brush before stepping out of the house so you don’t need to touch it up.

#5 Blot the right way: Blot in between applications by gently pressing a tissue to your lips. Don’t put the tissue in between lips and press down because that will make your lipstick wear off unevenly.

#6 Don’t get lipstick on your teeth: Put your index finger in your mouth, gently close your lips around it and then pull it out. This will take off the lipstick from the inner edges of your lips so it won’t wind up on your teeth.

#7 Enhance your cupid’s bow with a highlighter: With a brush or your finger, dab a small amount of highlighter on your cupid’s bow to help draw attention to this pretty part of your mouth.

#8 Top it off with gloss: The shine will help make your pout look even more plump. If you don’t like the sticky feeling, just use a nude lipstick at the center of your lips for a similar effect.

#9 Don’t be afraid to go nude: The most flattering nude lipstick is one shade deeper than your skin tone. Women having fair complexion should try a hue with a hint of pink and those with olive or dark skin should reach to sandy beige color.

#10 There really is a red for everyone: To find the best hue for you, follow these guidelines; fair skin looks best with a bold red lips, medium skin-tone looks flattering by an orangy-red color, whereas, dark skin looks amazing in burgundy red.

How to cut your hair in long bob

Long bob, or lob, as it is commonly referred to, is the biggest hair trend right now. Neither long nor short but somewhat blunt and just above the shoulders, this haircut looks flattering for a variety of different face shapes, hair textures and complexions. In simple words, lob is a universal, classic and a very versatile haircut. So, if you are also somebody who would love to rock this chic haircut then grab a pair of scissors and learn how to cut your hair in long bob. With this step by step tutorial by PatryJordan, you can cut your hair in long bob and if you already have a bob cut, you can maintain your locks on your own.

#1 Start off by detangling your damp hair and part your hair as you normally do.

#2 Tie your hair in a low ponytail with an elastic and slide it down a little bit. Make sure it’s tight and secure.

#3 Tie another elastic tightly below the first one, slide it down and this will act as your guideline to cut the desired length of your hair.

#4 Put your finger behind your ear and loosen up that section of your hair slightly. Now, carefully cut your hair across in a straight line. Work in little sections so you don’t end up cutting more hair than you want to.

#5 Release your hair from the elastics, comb it thoroughly and bring them in front.

#6 To finish it off, smooth your hair down and use your finger as a guide to cut a diagonal line. Keep doing this until your hair looks even.

#7 Blow dry your hair and you’re done.

DIY: Make any glossy lipstick matte

Thanks to Kylie Jenner, matte lips are a huge trend right now and are out to add that touch of sophistication to your overall look. If you’re rocking a perfect statement lip, be it bold red or classic nude, you can get away with everything from dirty hair to less-than-flawless skin. Not only does it look gorgeous and sexy but it also lasts for a long time.

Our recommending matte lips as the new big thing doesn’t mean that we are suggesting you spend extra money on those uber-expensive matte lipsticks. You can actually make any lipstick go from glossy to matte sitting right at home. Yes, you heard it right. You must have a lot of lipsticks in beautiful shades but since they are not matte, they are just hanging in the back of your dressing table drawer. It’s time to bring them out and give them the ultimate matte finish.

All you need to do is use your makeup setting powder and you can make any glossy lipstick matte. This trick works amazingly well mostly because this won’t make your lips dry and patchy. Try this DIY hack by Hannah Leigh and make any glossy lipstick matte in simply no time.

Tips:

#1 Prep your lips first with a moisturised lip balm before going for matte lips.

#2 You may use baby powder, if you don’t have makeup setting powder.

Follow the steps below:

Step1: Use a lip liner similar to the colour of your lipstick (or a shade close to your lipstick) and fill in your lips.

Step2: Apply the lipstick all over your lips as you normally do.

Step3: Dip your makeup brush into the powder and using patting motion, dab it onto your lips.

You will see the powder will absorb all the moisture and you will end up with beautiful matte lips.

Here’s how you can keep oily skin looking dry this summer

Summer is here, a little too early this year, and people like me with oily skin are already crying about the amount of grease they will witness on their faces every day. Whether it’s getting up in the morning with a bucket full of oil on your T-zone or 10 minutes after stepping out of the shower, the oil shall follow you EVERYWHERE. The only place where it’ll leave you would be at the gym because well, you won’t be able to tell the sweat from oil.

Unfortunately, a lot of us have to make our peace with oily skin and it seems to be a very difficult task. Especially when you spot all the dry-looking people, going about their day, without worrying about the stickiness on their faces. Hurts, doesn’t it? It doesn’t have to, anymore, at least entirely.

Here are a few skincare tips for oily skin to help fight that shiny looking face this summer.

1) Invest in an oil-free sunscreen lotion

There are many types of sunscreen lotions available in the market. All you need to do is choose the oil-free one and by oil-free, we mean the ones that come with a matte finish. Because not only do these refrain from adding an extra layer of oil to your skin, they leave your skin looking dry. So protection along with that dry feeling, win-win! We personally recommend the La Shield sunscreen gel for its oil-free and non-comedogenic properties. It’s not something you’d find at makeup stores but at pharmacies or medical stores.

2) Get an oil-free primer or lotion

While this may sound like one of those many skincare tips for oily skin that you’ve heard a gazillion times, it’s actually very important. Applying an oil-free base should be a very important part of your skincare regime. Not only do oil-free lotions help your makeup stay on for longer, these beauties control excess oil and leave your skin feeling dry and matte. We’d recommend MAC’s oil-control lotion which has been touted as a holy grail product for oily skin by many bloggers and users. The thing I love about this lotion is that it provides an absolutely no-shine base for people with greasy skin, it is light in texture and has a very mild fragrance that is far from irritating. You may also use it as a primer depending on your makeup requirements however some people prefer using a primer over it to keep the makeup on for longer. It may come across as an expensive product to buy but you only need a pea-sized amount for regular usage and it really lasts for very long (almost two seasons). You can get it any MAC store.

3) Hello oil-free blotting tissues

Yes, they are a thing. Replace your face wipes or wet wipes with oil-free blotting tissues. These are especially designed for oily/shiny skin as they absorb the excess oil from the skin while keeping the makeup absolutely intact. The Body Shop has these incredible Tea Tree Blotting Tissues that absorb excess oil and its tea tree properties also keep acne at bay. You can buy them at any Body Shop store.

4) Stay away from hair oil

It’s a known fact that hair oil can work wonders for damaged hair, we can’t say the same about its effect on your skin. When you apply hair to your scalp, your oil glands absorb all that oil and it may result in greasier skin. If you can’t absolutely avoid applying hair oil then we suggest washing it off within two hours of application. Keeping it on overnight is a BIG NO!

5) Tone your skin from time to time

Another one of those old skincare tips for oily skin, use a toner. Toning your skin is very important especially when it’s prone to being greasy. Toning cleans almost all residual makeup/dirt and keeps your skin’s pockets clean and ready to be hydrated. Use apple cider vinegar dissolved with water to tone your skin if you don’t want to invest in expensive toners. Apple cider vinegar kills germs and keeps your skin feeling dry. You can buy apple cider vinegar at any supermarket near you.

6) Exfoliate

Exfoliation helps in removing dead skin cells from the superficial layer of the skin. And believe me when I say it, dead skin cells and fresh oil do not make a good mix. If you have acne-prone skin, we would recommend mild exfoliation that helps clean the surface of the skin gently. If your skin is only oily (and acne-free) then regular exfoliation, twice a week, will help keep the grease at bay. Since exfoliating your skin at home can be a tad bit risky, we’d suggest an organic fruit scrub to help. Forest Essentials’ hand pounded organic fruit scrub is filled with goodness of organically grown dates, peaches and almond seeds along with rich apricot kernel oil, pure honey and finely milled almonds.

You can buy it here or at any Forest Essentials store.

7) Stay hydrated

The worst kept secret to glowing skin is plenty of water. Summer calls for more water. Drink at least 10 glasses of water every day for two weeks and notice the change in your skin.

5 heel hacks every girl should know

Girls love shoes, especially heels and yes, they are worth the pain. Heels have the magical power to make women feel confident and dressy but not without a price. From blisters to paining feet, we simply accept the side effects of wearing heels. Girls, these heel hacks by Chriselle Lim are for you so you don’t have to suffer for style.

#1 Stretch your shoes by freezing

Fill a plastic bag with water and insert it into the toe box of your shoes. Put the shoes into the freezer overnight (yes, really). As the water freezes, the plastic bags will expand and stretch out your shoes.

#2 Relieve tension with surgical tape/doctor tape

Tape your third and fourth toe together using medical tape. This helps take pressure off the ball of the foot. (Fact: There’s a nerve right between third and fourth toe and taping both of these toes together minimises strain.)

#3 Prevent slippage with sandpaper

New shoes, no traction? A simple trick for extra grip: Gently sand the soles of your new heels for better traction. We repeat, gently. Don’t end up scraping the red off the soles of your Louboutins.

#4 Clear gel deodorant can help prevent blisters

Blisters are the worst and can make walking in heels impossible, prevent them by using gel deodorants. Rub a little bit of it on the back of your heels to prevent blisters. A little piece of advice: you may use lip balm as well if you don’t have gel deodorant.

#5 Use foot cushions to reduce pain

Slip a pair of gel insoles into your high heels to maximise comfort. It makes a world of difference.

Stay Chic

DIY: Shape your eyebrows at home. No tweezing required!

Eyebrows are a very important part of framing one’s face and which is why they should always be on fleek. You might not always have an extra minute to go to the beauty salon and get your eyebrows done, so it’s always better to know how to shape your eyebrows at home. Take a look at these useful tips on getting the ideal eyebrow shape and how to fill them so you look your best no matter what.

How to get the ideal eyebrow shape?

#1 Look straight into a mirror and hold a makeup brush against one nostril. The point where the line comes in contact with your brow is where the eyebrows should start.

#2 Get the right arch by angling the makeup brush to the outer edge of the iris of your eye. The spot where the brush hits the eyebrow is where the top of the arch should be, about three-quarters of the way out.

#3 Angle your makeup brush up from the nostril so that it lines up with the outer corner of the eye. The eyebrow should end at the point where the brush hits the eyebrow.

And if filling in the eyebrows has always been confusing for you, here’s a solution! KaushalBeauty is here to help you with this.

Take a look at these steps to fill in your eyebrows:

First, comb your brow hair thoroughly in the natural hair growth direction with a spoolie or an old mascara wand after cleaning it properly.

Now, outline your eyebrows using brow gel and an angled brush. Making short strokes, draw the line at the base of the eyebrow and follow through the tail. And then, repeat this on the top part of your eyebrow. Take your time when working through the arch of the brow.

Fill in the gap between the lines and make sure you use less product at the starting end of your eyebrow to give it a gradient finish.

Use the spoolie again to distribute the product evenly and feather out the edges so it looks more soft and natural.

You may apply concealer both under and above the eyebrows to correct the mistakes (if any). This also helps the line of the eyebrow be precise.

Complete the rest of your face and you’re done.

#2 Wear a layer

If a magic wand is for a fairy, a tailored jacket is for you. It can upgrade any outfit and take it to the next level. Add drama to your basic formal outfit by layering on a blazer, trench or a gilet (by the way, if you don’t know what a ‘Gilet’ is then the answer is here). For something more work-appropriate, team it with a pair of slim fit trousers.

#3 Go for a single colour from top to bottom. Hello monochrome!

Be it all-white, black or any other colour; not only does it elongate your body proportions but also makes you look well put-together. Mix and match your shirts, blazers, trousers or skirts in shades of only one colour making it pure basic. It is bound to grab eyeballs.

#4 Pointed-toe shoes

Okay, a pair of pointed-toe shoes can bring your fashion game on point. They can make you appear sophisticated and expensive, regardless of what you choose to wear them with.

#5 Bags

When it comes to bags, you can never have just one. But every girl does need a signature bag that goes with any outfit and most importantly, holds everything.

Valentine’s Day makeup tutorial by KathleenLights

If you’re someone who is new to the world of makeup or has a constant struggle with eye shadow, this tutorial is your help. This look is neutral yet sexy and is perfect for Valentine’s Day. It’s also suitable for date night and you can also switch up your lip colour with nude, coral or pink for day time. Try this Valentine’s Day makeup tutorial by KathleenLights and get your Valentine’s makeup on-point.

First thing first, prep your face with a good face primer to minimise your pores and fine lines. Not only does it hold your makeup for a long time but also acts as a protective layer between your skin and your foundation. Know everything about face primers here.

FACE

Foundation

Apply a good coverage foundation and buff it into your skin so it does not get cakey.

Concealer

Use a highlighting concealer to conceal the dark circles under your eyes (if any) and other usual areas of your face like the centre of your forehead, bridge of your nose, cupid’s bow and around your mouth. And blend, blend, blend!

Compact/Powder

Set the concealed areas with a translucent powder so it doesn’t crease.

EYES

Eye primer

Prime your entire eyelids with an eye primer. Like a face primer, eye primer allows your eye shadow to blend well and keep it for a longer time.

Eye shadow

Give your eyes some dimension by applying light brown colour to the outer corner of your eye and the crease area.

Apply cream colour eye shadow to the brow bone and inner corner of your eyes to highlight them.

Now use a dark brown colour and apply it close to both your lower and top eyelashes.

Wing out your black gel liner and smudge it lightly to give it a soft finish.

Use the same light brown eye shadow you used before and sweep along your lower lashes to give a nice shadow.

Tightline your eyes with a stroke of black kohl and finish up with two coats of mascara on both top and bottom lashes.

You can use false lashes if you want (it’s optional).

Now, complete the rest of your face with a bronzer. This will balance out the eye makeup by adding warmth to your face.

Add some colour to the apples of your cheeks with a coral or pink blush.

Highlight the high points of your face using a subtle gold highlighter.

And the show stopper, red lipstick. Keep it matte. You can also line your lips with red lip liner before applying your lipstick.

And, you’re ready to embrace your date night or a day brunch looking like a star.

How to store sweaters for next winter

It’s that time of the year where our wardrobe needs a switch from winters to summers. And the most important question that arises is how to store sweaters so they feel fresh and wearable next fall too. Sweaters need special care and are usually a bit expensive than our normal clothes so it’s worth taking the effort to keep them preserved for a longer period of time. Take a look at these 10 easy tips on how to store sweaters.

#1 A good rule of thumb is to wash your sweaters after every fourth wearing, unless you spill, sweat or are around smoke. You should wash cotton, silk, and cashmere after two to three wearings, since these pieces are more delicate. Wool and durable man-made blends, such as acrylic and polyester, can withstand five wearings.

Source

#2 Always hand wash your sweaters. Add a mild detergent or baby shampoo into lukewarm water and let your wools soak for 5 to 7 minutes before rinsing in cold water.

Source

#3 You may also use vinegar to rinse out the sweater. Bring back some life to your sweaters by adding a few drops, say 2 tablespoons of vinegar to the water before rinsing. Ball up the sweater gently, and squeeze out the water without wringing or stretching.

Source

#4 The proper way to dry a sweater is to gently squeeze out the water from the garment and lay it flat on a white towel and not hang it. Or another way is to gently roll the towel and sweater together to remove moisture and dry the sweater on a flat, moisture-resistant surface, preferably a mesh which lets the air circulate.

Source

#5 Fold your sweaters, never hang them. Hanging sweaters can ruin its shape and turn it into a size larger than what you originally bought. Especially when the sweaters are wet, do not hold them by the shoulder, it will stretch out even more.

Source

#6 Keeping the sweaters in the freezer is one of the best and easiest ways to make them as fresh as possible. Put your sweater in an elastic bag, seal it and freeze for 3-4 hours. Freezing prevents sweaters from pilling and you can wear them shed-free.

Source

#7 Use a baby’s hairbrush to remove any hair, lint or dandruff from the sweater because it’s delicate and soft. The softness of the baby brush will enable you to quickly brush off these unattractive sweater companions.

Source

#8 The unavoidable truth is all sweaters pill just by wearing or cleaning them. De-pill your sweaters regularly to make them as new as you recently bought them. Pilling occurs when groups of fibre break, tangle, and mat together. It makes the texture of the sweater rough and decidedly unattractive and it is more apparent around the elbows, under the armpits and on sleeves. Buy a hand-held de-piller or an electric shaver made for de-pilling or you can use a pumice stone to remove sweater pills.

Source

#9 Buy lavender scented drawer liners or DIY a natural moth repellent sachet. Always clean your sweaters before storing them, as moths are attracted to our everyday scents such as perfumes, food smells, deodorants and smoke.

Source

#10 Vodka is also very helpful in keeping your sweaters last longer. It kills all the bacteria from your wools and removes unwanted odour also. Spritz some vodka to your sweaters and let them air dry in a well-ventilated area.

How to take care of your boots

You must have spent a lot of money on your suede or leather boots because let’s face it, good boots are not cheap and cheap boots are not good. Therefore, you also have to spend a little time in taking care of your companions which help you step out and walk confidently. Maintaining your boots is not difficult or expensive, but it needs to be done at regular intervals. Save your shoes from being mistreated with regular maintenance and your feet will love you for this because the better you look after them, the longer they’ll last. So, here are some easy tips and tricks on how to take care of your boots by YouTuber Chriselle Lim who is a fashion blogger and stylist.

#1 Keep your shoes in the shoe box

Don’t throw away your shoe boxes. Instead make some space for them in your closet and keep your shoes in the box. This will protect your shoes from dirt and keep them in the best condition possible.

#2 Feed your shoes with some papers

Grab some tissues or newspaper and stuff them into your long boots. This will help in maintaining their shape and also prevent them from creasing.

#3 Invest in a suede eraser and welt brush

Suede shoes get dirty very easily and you need to clean them up every time you step into them. It’s better to buy a nice suede eraser and a welt brush to remove the lint and dirt from your shoes.

#4 Clean your shoes with lemon and water

Mix equal parts of lemon and water and clean your leather shoes with this mixture. The acidity in lemon helps break down the dirt and grime.

#5 Add shine to your suede boots with a few drops of olive oil

This is an organic method that will give your boots a shiny finish. Put a few drops of olive oil on a piece of cotton cloth and wipe your shoes.

How to use facial oils according to your skin type

The concept of adding oil to your face might scare some of you but it’s worth a try. Our skin needs natural oils to maintain a healthy balance but with constant washing and use of beauty products, we tend to lose essential moisture from our face. Read on to learn everything about facial oils and how to use facial oils according to your skin type.

Benefits of facial oils:

Facial oils are an excellent way to get antioxidants and vitamins quickly into the skin. Oils are absorbed quickly and soften the appearance of fine lines and maintain moisture for a brighter and radiant appearance. Essential oils are derived from botanicals, many of which are naturally packed with antioxidants and create a protective barrier against harsh and uncaring external factors like pollution, environmental toxins, etc. They restore the skin cells which not only gives your skin an even tone but also reduces hyper-pigmentation.

Facial oils have gained popularity not just because of their beauty benefits but also because they smell and feel amazing. One application and you’re hooked!

How to use facial oils?

If you have dry skin:

Apply the oil in the morning after following the CTM rule (which is cleansing, toning and moisturizing). Pump 4 to 5 drops on the palm of your hand, rub the oil in your hands and press it onto your face.

If you have normal to combination skin:

Mix 2 to 3 drops of facial oil with your moisturiser and apply it on your freshly washed face in the morning. This skin type obviously needs a little less oil and mainly requires water to keep it healthy and hydrated. So we’d suggest not going over 2-3 drops.

If you have oily and blemish-prone skin:

Follow your usual morning CTM routine (without any facial oil) because the right time to use facial oil for people with this skin type is at night. Wash your face with an oil-free face wash and then massage just 2 drops of oil directly onto the skin. This way, the oil will do its magic overnight and you will wake up with healthy-looking skin.
