How to tightline your eyes like a pro!
If you haven’t heard of ‘tightlining’, we wouldn’t blame you for confusing it with some sort of advanced technique of painting or drawing. However, tightlining is that eyeliner technique everyone talks about, but few can really explain.

Tightlining, also called invisible eyeliner, is a technique which is achieved by defining your eyelashes subtly with the help of your eyeliner. This technique creates the illusion of fuller, darker lashes and adds definition to the eyes while maintaining a no-makeup feel. Tightlining is actually a term for a tricky eyeliner technique that gives a sort of I-am-not-wearing-any-makeup effect; it defines your lash line and makes your eyes look subtly brighter.

Most people think that this technique is to make your eyes look bigger but what it really does is make your eyelashes appear fuller and thicker. Instead of lining the skin above your lashes, you line your upper waterline and it can be used for any casual or formal occasion. It sounds more difficult than it is in theory; master the technique with just two simple steps. Take a look.
1. Use your finger to lift up your eyelid so you can see the base of your lash root which you will be filling in with the eyeliner.
1. Take your eyeliner and using short strokes, line your upper waterline. Wiggle the eyeliner back and forth to make it more intense.
1. Third step is to just flaunt your eyes because you’re done.:)
Tip: Use a kohl eyeliner for better results as it is formulated to hold in the wet area of the eye.

Shirt dresses add a hint of casual coolness and the contrasting feminine flair to an ensemble. We recommend this forest green, floral print shift dress from Koovs. This crisp shade has been a huge runway favourite this season and what are summers without florals? Pair it up with a pair of black stilettos or with a pair of flats to complement the look.

A classic round dial, leather strap watch never goes out of style, add a timeless piece to your outfit and complete the look with just a collar tip. Collar tips are one of the chicest accessories and they instantly add glamour to any subtle outfit. You can also wear a belt to make the outfit look more formal.

Get this look from ELITIFY.COM: How to rock a jumpsuit at work

The one item of clothing that never goes out of fashion is a Jumpsuit! Who doesn’t like to be comfortable and chic at the same time? As the week comes to an end we have the perfect outfit inspiration for you to kick start your weekend after work!

For those who thought that jumpsuits are not appropriate for work, allow us to change your perception. We agree it’s a tricky task but not impossible if you style it properly. The trick behind majoring the jumpsuit trend at work is to opt for solid or soft colours like black, white and peach. Throwing on a jacket or a cardigan instantly makes a jumpsuit work appropriate. Choose minimum accessories like a pair of earrings and a watch during the day time and add a statement neckpiece for the night.

Bold prints can also be worked if you pair minimum accessories and a solid colour jacket. But always remember, cut-out jumpsuits are plain unprofessional. Take a look at the outfit of the week for your ‘FRY-day at work’ inspiration. You can buy all these products at ELITIFY.com

Check out the products:

1) Jumpsuit

2) Jacket

3) Neck piece

4) Blush

5) Lipstick

6) Earrings

10) Mascara

11) Perfume

12) Eyeshadow

Fashion rules every man should follow at work

“The men of the world! You have the right to remain silent and read below!” The fashion police are here! You may be pretty confident about the way you dress at work (who isn’t?), but there are several other very important things every guy should keep in mind while dressing up for office!

Take a look at this crisp list of Fashion rules every man should follow at work!

1. Getting the right fit

Knowing the right size of the clothes you wear is extremely crucial. A slouchy ensemble or an over-fitted outfit is bound to reflect unappealingly on your personality.

Source

2. Avoid low waist bottom wear

If you want to look professional enough for people to take you seriously, stay away from low waist trousers and denims at work! It is plain wrong.

Source

3. When in doubt, go for brogues

Brogues are the must-have classics for men! If you’re unsure about what shoes to pick with those trousers you’ve recently bought, go for brogues. They come in different colours and are sure to make your dapper look stand out!

Source

4. Wear the right accessories

The right cufflinks and a cool watch are just about enough when it comes to accessorising for men! Remember, don’t overdo your accessories. Bracelets and neck pieces are meant for women!

Source

5. Watch your hair

Looking sharp is the key and your hairstyle at work adds a lot to it. Spending an extra 5 minutes on your hair so it looks neat and sharp is a must for every guy out there. Shabbily kept hair is a huge turn off for the people around you!

Source

6. Invest in timeless basics

Something like a grey suit and a black tie will never go out of fashion. Even a pastel coloured polo tee works just fine when it comes to business casuals. It’s time to invest in such clothes! Remember – it’s not always good to follow the trends because they eventually die! Opt for style that makes you feel most at comfort and boost your confidence.

Source

7. Button up

Yea yea, we know you’re a man. But flaunting your chest hair with that unbuttoned shirt on the top would not take you anywhere. The only button that needs to be open (if you’re not wearing a tie) is the first button below the collar!

Source

8. Act your age

No matter what you wear, if you don’t have the right attitude to carry it – the whole point gets defeated! Remember to act according to your age and keep the swag on!

Happy Birthday to the legendary Star Lord – Chris Pratt!

Born on 21^st June in Minnesota, the American actor Chris Pratt turned 36 this month. This has certainly been the year for the Guardians of the Galaxy fame, who recently stole people’s hearts being the Father of raptors(Alpha) in the Jurassic World movie.

Talking about his fatherhood, the Hollywood heartthrob also celebrated his son Jack Pratt’s birthday on the same day as Father’s Day! Well, that’s a brilliant co-incidence!

Unfortunately, the actor will not be spotted on the small screens anymore (for the time being we hope) as his iconic TV role as the goofy and loveable Andy Dwyer came to an end with the final season of Parks and Recreations. But who knew, this man would look even better fighting dinosaurs and aliens on the 70mm screens!

Here is a look back at the many transformations over the years of the ever rising star Chris Pratt.

We wish you a very Happy Birthday!
