Beautiful eyes

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Gorgeous Red Lips!!!

Red lips are sexy. Of course they are not suitable choice for every woman, but you cannot know whether they suit you or not before trying. So why don`t you follow the steps below to understand.

1. Apply nude powder base on your lips. This way the colour will be brighter and last for longer.

2. Line your lips with a lip liner duller than the lipstick`s shade

3. Use an ear bud to clean the lines, which have gone haywire

4. Fill the lips with the same lip liner

5. Apply some Concealer Powder around your lips

6. Apply the red lipstick. If you feel more comfortable, you can use a brush.

This technique works perfectly with any other colour combination, as it makes the colour last for longer and gives your lips a gorgeous look.

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

Ombre nails!!

This nail design is neither exceptional, nor extremely difficult to do, but it is very cute. There are a lot of options on how to do it. Basically you will only need two matching colours – red and yellow in this case and a makeup applicator or a piece of sponge.

For example you can paint the colours onto the makeup applicator as shown on the picture and then apply the design on your nails.

Another option is to sponge the red first and then use a clean sponge to apply the yellow over it.

Make sure the sponge is wet (but not soaked), because this will make the application easier and will prevent the nail polish from getting dry.

When you finish your Ombre nails, use a top coat to finish the nails and let it dry.

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

Tarnished Copper Nails!!

Have you seen the old copper statues and monuments, which went green, because of the weather conditions? Have you ever thought of a nail design in such style? If it seems impossible to you, I can assure you there is a way. All you need is proper nail polish colours a piece of sponge and a small dessert spoon. So, let`s start.

Find a copper-coloured nail polish and a variety of minty green and blue shades.

Paint the back of the spoon with the “copper”. Use the sponge to apply the other shades over the spoon (as shown on the picture). Use a slightly wet sponge to do so.

Take a different wet sponge to apply the mixture on the nails with gentle taps. Add as many layers as necessary. When you are done, use a top coat with a matte effect for best results.

Don`t forget to take a picture with a statue, while wearing this nail design – it will be quite fun!

Exfoliate the monsoon blues away!

SHOPPERS LIFESTYLE

1. Scrub away the patches

Many health and beauty centers such as Kaya skin care clinic have simple 20 minute exfoliation treatments that gently peel the top epidermal layer of the skin, to reveal beautiful glowing skin. There are also several laser and detoxifying treatments that pave way to beautiful, glowing new you!

2. Clay pack

A must-try during the rains would be the ‘Truly Matte Purifying’ facial from Mogok at Clarins that calms and decongests skin leaving it fresh and luminous. It also gives the skin an oil-balance. Here, the pores of your skin are cleansed with a clay plant based peel mixed with lemon and pineapple, thus reducing oiliness while keeping the skin hydrated.

3. Chemexfoliate

A chemical form of exfoliation, chemexfoliation includes application of a peel on the skin which removes the dead cells from the surface of the skin revealing a fresher, smoother and brighter skin. Combination of peels may be used like Easy TCA and lactipeel among others.

4. Be well polished

Another safe procedure for deep dermal exfoliation is skin polishing in which aluminum oxide crystals are splashed over the surface of the skin and sucked back by vacuum. This is a mechanical process unlike regular peels. It not only removes the dead skin layer but also removes tan, thereby giving the skin an even and shining complexion. There are also a variety of body exfoliation treatments available at several spas that renew the epidermal layer of the body leading way to a glowing, soft skin.

5. At home remedies

If you’re looking for a more reasonable option, use scrubs which contain silicon beads which may roll out the dead cells and unclog the pores. Follow it up with a clay mask for oily skin or a nourishing mask for dry skin. You will feel the difference almost instantly!
