Prianka Kumar, make-up expert, says, “For the Indian skin tone, one can opt for bronzers with a touch of peach, golden and brown. Mix the glitter powder with baby oil or a moisturiser and apply on the areas you wish to highlight.” 1. Plan your outfit for the evening. This will help you in deciding what parts of the body to highlight with the glitter. These parts of the body are known as “access points”. Choose a glitter variant that will not shed on your clothes. 2. Dab the make-up brush in the body glitter. Press lightly on the glitter so that you don’t bend the brush. 3. Tap the brush on the inside of the glitter to knock off any excess glitter and highlight the parts with a light dusting of the body glitter. 4. Pick your two favourite body parts. To draw attention, apply glitter on the shoulders, back or the collarbone area. Do not apply too much glitter, you might end up looking ridiculously shiny! 5. Do not highlight any area with more than one brush stroke. Try to apply as minimally as you can.
Glittery eye make-up is a great way to get in on the glamour of glitter, without making your face and outfit look like a disco ball. The first step is to pick a complementing colour of glitter. Silver tones go better with cooler skin tones while, gold and bronze complement warmer tones. Pearlescent colours can be easily matched to almost everything in between. Eye pencil : 1. With the help of your glitter eyepencil, trace the lower lid and the waterline. Make sure to outline your eyes properly by using gentle swipes. Use colours like silver, green and blue. 2. Aside from using glitter eye liner, you can also opt for a normal eye liner for drawing out the lines on your eyes and then follow it up with glitter eyeshadow for a sparkling finish. Eye shadow : 1. To apply eyeshadow glitter, take a brush full of eyeshadow and sweep it across your eyelid (do this at least 5 times). 2. Cover the lower half of your eyelid, carefully avoiding the very inside corner of your eye. 3. If you wish, you can cover your entire eyelid and extend the glitter eyeshadow slightly beyond your eyelid, towards the outside end of your eyebrow. 4. Do not apply the eyeshadow any further upward than your eyelid, or your face may outshine the lights of the club and detract from the beauty of your eyes. 5. You can also attempt using your fingertips to apply the glitter. 6. Once you are done using the glitter, with the help of a blow-drier, carefully blow off all the excess glitter from the rest of your face.

Start by washing and cleaning your face using a face wash. Next, apply a moisturizer to your entire face, using upward motion from the neck. Covering the entire eye area from eyebrows to the lash line, apply a shadow base. Now, apply eyeliner from the inner corner to the outer. Similarly, line the bottom of your eyes also. Use a black liner since it is night time however, you can go for brown or a smoke color too. Stay away from bright colors like purples and greens. Smudge your liner using a Q-tip. Make sure that the liner is smudged and well blended and is not just a fine line. Next, apply a black, plum, brown or any darkest eye shadow halfway towards the outer area of your eye and smudge it towards the halfway onto the eyebrow bone. The eye shadow that you have applied on the smudged liner will stick to the eye liner and help the shade to set on the eyes. Once this is done, apply a medium shade of eye shadow on the eyelids. You can even use gold, silver or bronze eye shadow to add glow and glimmer to your night makeup. Highlight the brow bone area with colors like simple beige, light wheat, white or platinum. Avoid bright frosty colors. Apply one or two coats of mascara. You can even touch up your eyelashes with a few strokes on the tips. Clear up your under eye area of any fallen shadow. You can apply loose powder on this area before applying eye makeup and sweep it away once the makeup is done. To further enhance the glamour of your night time makeup, dust glitter or sparkle around the eyes, on cheekbones or in décolletage.
1. Size up your lips : If they're medium to full, try a creamy, glossy, or matte lipstick, which is saturated with pigments for a bold look, says Rebecca Restrepo, a global makeup artist for Elizabeth Arden. If lips are on the thin side, uneven (i.e., asymmetrical, or the top is much skinnier than the bottom), or if you have a narrow, pursed mouth, go for something with extra shine. "Reflective balms and glosses have a sheen that helps visually plump the lips," she says--they're also ideal if you're timid about intense shades. 2. Line them right : When worn alone, lip pencils create a matte stained effect; they can also help "anchor lipstick and prevent it from feathering, which can look unpolished," says Restrepo. (If you're in the thin-lip camp, skip liner and just apply your shiny or sheer formula.) Choose a shade that matches your dark lipstick; trace the border of your lips in short strokes (apply with more precision on the cupid's bow for sexy definition), then scribble the shade over your entire mouth. 3. Go easy on the eyes (and cheeks) : "The lips should be the focus, but to keep the look put-together, do a soft, neutral eye shadow like beige, taupe, khaki, or mocha, a light coating of mascara, and a subdued pink or peach blush," says Avon global celebrity makeup artist Lauren Andersen.

It can be a bit difficult to make straight hair curly, but it can be done. There are a couple of easy ways to manage this. Begin by washing your hair the night before you want to debut your curly hair. Once the hair has been properly washed and followed up with a good conditioner, comb it out with a comb that has wide teeth. This will help you remove any tangles. If you have difficulty removing the knots, use a detangler especially made for children; these products are often better than those made for adults and have a wonderful scent. Wash and Detangle. The first step for the curling straight hair is washing and conditioning of hair. In case you are going out later in the day, wash them after you get home. The next step following washing/conditioning is combing it through the length with a wide-toothed comb and getting rid of all knots. If you are facing any difficulty in detangling, use detanglers such as children’s hair detangler. Transformation of the Hairdo (Crimped). Separate hair into four equal parts when you are eyeing crimped look. Thereafter, form tiny braids that are held with a non-slip grip ponytail holder. Keep the braids for as long as possible, for crimping hair to the maximum. One must ensure that the braids remain intact at all times. When you wake up, remove the Scuncis or whatever holders you are using and gently caress your scalp. You want to avoid frizziness by not brushing your hair. You have two choices with this style: either keep the hair down or take a portion from the front of your hair and pin it back with a clip or barrette. Instead of straight hair, you now have a wild and curly hairdo that is very easy to create.

When talking about cosmetics and beauty treatment, one tends to focus on the face, hair, hands and feet. We tend to believe that if these parts are well-groomed, miscellaneous body parts like the neck, shoulders, arms and elbows can be swept under the carpet like so much dust. But like so many other things in life, it's the little things that count. What's the point of having a perfectly made-up face if the skin on your neck is loose and mottled? Hairy arms, black elbows and drooping posture can ruin the effect of the sexiest little halter. So let's take a look at how to take care of your neck, shoulders, arms and elbows so that they don't let you down. Your Neck : The first thing to do is to stop thinking that your face stops at your chin. Think of your neck as an extension of your face. Whenever you wash your face, wash your neck too. If you use a foundation or a loose powder on your face, remember to apply it to your neck or there will be an unsightly colour difference between your face and your neck. Use upward strokes to apply a nourishing cream on your neck and throat every night. In order to avoid flabby neck muscles or a double chin, hold your head high with your chin up and slightly forward. Home Remedies : There are some home remedies to whiten and soften the skin on your neck. You can make a skin tonic by mixing 3 teaspoons of borax powder, 2 tablespoons of glycerine and 2 cups of rose water. You can also apply this tonic on your arms and shoulders. We also have a recipe for an overnight cream for the neck, throat and shoulders. Mix equal parts of lanolin and butter. Beat them thoroughly in a double saucepan over boiling water. Rub this cream over your neck and shoulders in upward motions. Leave it on overnight and wash it in the morning.
Types Of Gel Nails : Gel nails are usually made of pre-mixed ‘light-cured’ gels, which is a mixture of polymers and monomers. This is applied on the surface of the nails and then allowed to “cure” or dry with the help of ultra-violet light. The “no-light” gels are gaining popularity these days. Unlike the ‘light-cured’ gel nails, to dry the ‘no-light’ nails, no light is required. Instead, all you simply need to do is dip your freshly painted fingernails into water. How To Apply Gel Nails : First of all, take a buffer and rub it on the surface of your nails. Buffing will remove the shine of your natural nails. Now, use an emery board to shape the free edge of the nail plate in accordance to your finger nail size. Hold the gel nail tip at an angle of 45 degrees. Now pour a drop of nail adhesive on the outer edge of your natural nail and stick the tip of the artificial gel nail against it. Now slide the artificial nail gently and press it against the natural nail. Patiently wait until the nail adhesive holds the nail properly. Use an acrylic bonding agent and apply a single coating of it on the surface of your natural nail. Do not apply it on the artificial tip. Take two separate glass containers. Pour small amounts of acrylic powder in one. On the other, pour the liquid. Using a brush, dip it in the liquid and press it lightly against the dish. This process would help you release excess acrylic. Thereafter, sweep the brush on the powder, so that it carries sufficient amount it. The ball made out of gel powder and primer should be big enough to cover your hair entirely. Now, place the tip of the brush at the centre of your nail. Gently stroke it into the cuticle region and paint the front and sides well. This will help in filling the nail behind the artificial nail completely. Now using a brush handle, tap the filled in area of the nail gently when it becomes dry. When you get the familiar sound of clicking, you will know that that your artificial gel nails are set. Now, buff and file your newly created nails. Then, go on to apply a nail coat varnish first, followed by nail paint and a top coating. Also apply a drop of cuticle oil on the nail cuticle. Within every 2-4 weeks, the gel nail enhancements need to be filled. The time period varies according to the growth rate of nails.
The first thing to be borne in mind while hunting for a perfect eye pencil is its shade. A wrongly chosen eyebrow pencil can be nothing more than a fashion faux pas. The trick to finding a perfect eye pencil is to always match its color with that of your hair and not your eyebrows. However, always remember to purchase a shade that is two shades lighter than your hair. For example, if you have dark brown hair, it is best to buy a medium brown shade eyebrow pencil. After you have spotted the perfect eyebrow pencil for your brows, apply a little color on the back of your hand to check the exactness of the shade. Some cosmetics appear darker or lighter than the actual shade when applied. Testing the shade before buying will help you pick the right tone. Just picking up the right shade isn’t enough to get that gorgeous pair of eyebrows. Correct application is equally important to avoid making a fashion disaster. For instance, if you have extremely light colored eyebrows as compared to your hair tone, remember to apply a light touch of mascara, before getting on with your eyebrow pencil. Never use eyebrow pencil directly on your skin. Always use it on your eyebrows, over the original hair to reveal an authentic look. Application on the skin is a strict no-no. Keep your pencil off the top end of your eyebrow. As the top arch is thinner than the rest of your brow, applying touch-ups in these areas may make your eyebrow appear all the more thick or clumsy. Use light strokes to accentuate the shape and underside of your brows, where the hair is thickest. Never press your eyebrow pencil too hard on your skin, while doing the touch-ups. Doing so will create an unnatural look. Use swift upward motions during application and always apply as lightly as possible.

Human skin possesses the ability to stretch and revert to its initial shape which is known as the elasticity of the skin. However, this particular feature of human skin is dependent upon health, tone and strength of the muscles beneath it. With aging, your skin tends to lose its elasticity and no longer remains as supple as it used to be. Factors such as genetics, diet, age and impurities accumulated in the skin pores may lead your skin to lose its elasticity. As a result, all of a sudden wrinkles start appearing on your face and the skin around other body parts also begins to look droopy. However, with a proper dietary strategy and certain skin care regimen, you can quite efficiently combat this crisis. A balanced dietary habit provides all the essential nutrients pivotal for your skin health and fosters your skin’s resilience while obviating skin discrepancies such as loss of elasticity which is concomitant to aging. Explore the lines below to equip yourself with all necessary information on how to improve elasticity in aging skin. Improving Skin Elasticity Some Important Tips Drink plenty of water as it helps keep your skin adequately hydrated and prevents it from getting dry. Remember, dry skin is more prone to premature aging and wrinkles as it tends to lose its elasticity very easily. Sweating can be highly beneficial for the health of your skin. Sweating has many functions; it helps moisturize the skin, assists in restoring the pH balance of the skin and also allows the skin oils to spread equally throughout your skin. Now, if you want a supple and rejuvenated skin then you must make sure that it sweats. The accumulation of dust into the pores of your skin can also make it lose its elasticity. It is highly important that you scrub and cleanse your skin on a regular basis to keep the skin pores dirt-free. It also helps in maintaining proper blood circulation which is extremely beneficial for the overall health of your skin. Exercise daily. Regular exercise ensures a proper circulation of oxygen and nutrients to different body parts. Hormones have a significant role to play in your skin’s health. Exercising also balances hormones which can be beneficial for your skin’s health. Nutrients Essential To Improve Skin Elasticity Vitamin C : Food items rich in Vitamin C such as tomatoes, lemons, strawberries as well as leafy greens, must be consumed in adequate quantity in order to improve the elasticity of your aging skin. Vitamin C shields the skin from deleterious UV rays and most of the other skin hazards. Vitamin E : Make sure to include foods with sufficient Vitamin E content, such as olive oil, sunflower oil, papaya, spinach, blueberries, kiwifruit, almonds, brussel sprouts and pumpkins, in your daily diet. Vitamin E helps nullify the damages caused by the Sun and also prevents the occurrence of wrinkles. It has been found to possess immense antioxidant properties and can rectify any cellular damage caused by the Sun, or other pollutants or even smoking. Vitamin K : Foods with high Vitamin K content include turnips, leafy greens, broccoli and brussel sprouts. Vitamin K defends your skin against PXE (psuedoxanthoma elasticum), a frightening skin disorder which can hasten the appearance of wrinkles manifold. Vitamin B : Complex Vitamin B facilitates the production of skin cells. It also plays a significant role in the retention of skin cell water. It also assists in restoring the plumpness of the skin by improving skin elasticity.
