7 Smart Makeup Tricks for Busy Women

It is not always that girls get sufficient time to get their makeup on and to get their looks perfect. When time is short, you don’t need tips but tricks that can make you look beautiful in just a few minutes. So for all you busy girls out there, we have found a way to help you edit your beauty routine to save your precious time. Whether getting reading for office or a party after office hours, here are some quick makeup tricks that can make you gorgeous in no time.

Even out your skin tone

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

Use some foundation and same tone concealer around inner corners of your eyes, sides of nose and around mouth to have an even complexion. You can use translucent powder as a substitute to a foundation. Always keep a universal shade cheek colour, like peach or coral with you. Here is another quick tip, mix some of your moisturiser with your foundation, and keep this with you always. This way your skin will get moisture and you will get flawless and smooth skin instantly.


Beautiful eyes

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

Rather than messing with your eyes in a hurry, there is a simple thing that can be done to make your eyes stand out. Use a fast-drying eyeliner that can immediately add a pop to your eyes. If you don't want to miss out on an eye shadow, pick a colour that is close to your skin tone. You can also disguise your tired-looking eyes with a concealer that lifts and brightens up the under-eye area. Dab on a little extra moisturiser to hide the puffiness. To add more versatility to your look, go for a deep-blue and black eye pencil.


Prefect your pout

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

A neutral lip gloss is the easiest way to make your lips stand out. Remember the lesser pigment there is in a lip colour, easier it become to apply. With a natural shade you can safely apply them even without looking at a mirror. Also, before applying your lip colour, use a little foundation on your lips to make the colour stay for a longer time.


Skip the shampoo

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

Here is a tip for those who do not have time to shampoo their hair. This one is actually simple. Comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb. Now dab some loose powder on your hair brush. First, tap the excess powder off, and then apply this brush on the roots. It will instantly absorb the oil from your scalp, giving your hair a bouncy effect. This will leave you with non-greasy hair in an instant.


Change your hairstyle

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

If you are too busy to fiddle with dryers and straighteners, then here is a quick fix tress trend for you. You have been sporting the same hairstyle for ages. But, just going against your usual parting can give you a new look in an instant. Just part your hair from the other end, rather than your usual parting. This is an effective and chic way to look different.


Quick nail colour dry

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

Well if you have just done your nails, but don’t have enough time to dry the nail paint here is a simple tip for you. Apply your nail paint and allow your nails to dry for two minutes. After this, put your fingers in ice cold water for about three to four minutes. This will help the polish to dry quickly and easily.


Fix your stand

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE


Standing in a show-stopping style works even if you are on a heavier side. Slouching or standing in a way that makes your tummy pop out is a strict no-no. Kindly don't bring your shoulders forward or stand in a way that makes you look lousy. Just stand straight and ensure that your hips, waist and upper back are aligned and your chin is parallel to the floor. So achieve a sleek and slimmer look with this simple strategy.









Sparkling Nails!!!

This nail design is very  beautiful and easy to do. You need a purple nail polish and glitter to do it.

1. Apply a base coat, to protect your nails, then simply paint the top of the nail purple and make it fade as shown on the picture – the thinner layer at the bottom and the thick layer on the top. Instead of simply sliding the nail polish brush, you can try a slight tapping, in order to make a better blend.

2. Apply glitter by tapping, along the whole nail,  in order to get more glittery parts onto your nails and you are ready.

It is a simple design, but many people do not know how to properly apply glitter, that`s why we decided to make this tutorial.

Simple Ways to Fix Under Eye Bags

It is not just lack of sleep that works as a beauty deterrent. From bad food habits to irregular working hours, there are plenty other reasons that can play havoc with you skin. The one thing that is most affected is your under eye area.Your eyes start looking swollen, dark circles appear and they might also become red. So, here are some natural home remedies that will help you get rid of puffy eyes.


Cold therapy


SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

Splash cold water on your eyes or you may keep a towel soaked in cold water on your eyes. You can also put some ice cubes on a towel and place it over your eyes. This will instantly reduce the puffiness under your eyes. Cold spoons work magic too. Keep a few spoons in the freezer. Place the round bottom of the spoon over the puffy area for about five minutes. You will notice the puffy eye look vanishing in thin air!


Honey dip

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

Take half a cup of water and put a tablespoon of honey in it. Soak some cotton balls in the mixture. Now, place these wet cotton balls on your puffy under-eye area. Keep it for 10-15 minutes for optimum results. This will prevent your under eye skin from sagging and reduce its puffiness.


Cucumber

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

One of the most effective ways to make eye bags disappear is using cucumber slices. All you have to do is cut cucumber slices and put them in the refrigerator. Once chilled, keep them on your eyes for a few minutes. With a regular use, you will notice the under eye bags disappearing over a period of time. You can also blend cucumber, and apply this paste (chilled) under your eyes.


Tea bags

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE


Tea bags can work wonders for puffy eyes as well. For this, place used tea bags (preferably green tea) in the freezer. Make sure that the used bags are dipped only in hot water, and not in milk. Take them out and put them on your eyes for approximately 15 minutes. The therapy will show an instant effect on your under eye puffiness and dark circles.


Potatoes

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

Potatoes not only reduce puffiness, but also work wonders to bring back the shine around the eyes. Take a potato, peel it and cut into slices. Let them chill in the freezer. Place the slices on your eyes and let the them stay for about 10 minutes. Rinse you face, and find yourself as fresh as a morning dew!


Lifestyle Changes

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water to keep your skin hydrated.

Take proper rest. Eight hours of beauty sleep is a must!

Foods high in sodium content must be avoided because they aid water retention.

Piano Nails.

This is a very simple, yet creative black & white design. When I saw it for the first time, I thought what a great feeling would be the play the piano with such nail design. Unfortunately playing the piano is not my thing, unlike nail designs.

Basically for this design you will need black and white nail polish, thin brush and a teeth stick (or a suitable tool).

Paint your nails black then cover half  of your nail white (please note  that if your nails are longer, you might want to cover 1/3 or 2/3 with the white colour). Draw a thin horizontal black line, between the black and white colour, in order to make the edge smooth.

Then use the thin brush to draw 5 thin  black lines onto the  white nail polish, as shown on the picture.

The teeth stick is useful, when drawing the black keys – two the left and two the right, by leaving the central line empty.

When you are ready apply top coat and … go play the piano.
