What does it mean? It just means we have plenty more opportunities than usual to test out fun beauty looks.

Here are 3 looks you must try this season!

1.       THE QUEEN OF GLITTER

The best part about gold is that it is impartial to any particular skin tone. So make gold eye shadow and glitter your new besties with these gorgeous application tips.

How to get gold and glittery evening party makeup look:

Step 1: Prime your eyes with a creamy nude shadow in powder or pencil form.

Step 2: Apply light strokes of bronze to the inner and outer corners of your lid.

Step 3: Apply dark brown with a brush and blend evenly throughout the crease.

Step 4: Reapply the nude eye shadow on the eyelid centre; this will highlight your next colour, a light bronze which you will gently pat on your lid using a medium, flat-tipped brush.

Step 5: Blend a neutral colour slightly above the lid in even strokes to avoid harsh lines.

Step 6: Use a very light colour with shimmer to highlight your brow bone.

Step 7: Apply a waterproof black gel liner to the lid and smudge the outer corner down with a flat-tipped brush. Then, swipe sparkly gold eyeliner along the outer corners of your eyes and along your lower lash line.

Step 8: Pat a bright shimmery gold dust on your lid with your finger. Be careful not to let it spill all over your face.

Step 9: For a touch of drama (who doesn’t like drama!), apply black mascara and black liner on your upper lash line.

 

2.       RED AND RAVISHING

You got it right! We’re talking about bold, luscious red lips here. Now this one takes much more than the right technique to carry off. It needs the right attitude! If you have it, go ahead and flaunt it, sweetheart. But remember to keep the rest of your makeup, especially the eyes, in subtle shades or near nude. A bit of black mascara on the top lashes is all you need.

How to get bold red evening party makeup look:

Step 1: Choose a sheer lipstick for a more natural look. Avoid cream or matte formulas.

Step 2: Apply lip balm and let it stay for a few minutes. Then blot off the excess balm with a tissue.

Step 3: Using the side of the pencil, not the tip, define and fill in. A muted red or berry shade works best.

Step 4: Apply a thin, even layer of lip colour with a lip brush. Tadaaa!

 

3.       MONOCHROME MAGIC

If subtlety is how you make your statement, a vibrant pop of one shimmering shade is enough to speak volumes.

How to get monochromatic evening party makeup look:

Step 1: Choose a shimmery powder shadow in a rich colour palette such as purple, royal blue, or emerald.

Step 2: Using a brush, apply an even layer from lash line to crease.

Step 3: Coat the top and bottom lashes with black mascara to define them.

Step 4: Keep the rest of the face neutral. Opt for a natural, peachy shade of blush and a nude lip gloss.

Step by step Skin Prep for All Bride To Be

Published

on

Congratulations, bride-to-be! As you prepare for your big day, glowing skin is undoubtedly at the top of your wish list. Your wedding day is a celebration of love and commitment, and feeling confident in your own skin is essential. To help you achieve that coveted bridal glow, we’ve curated a comprehensive step-by-step skin prep guide just for you.

Start Early with a Consistent Skincare Routine

Begin your bridal skincare journey well in advance to allow your skin ample time to adjust and improve. Establish a daily skincare routine tailored to your skin type and concerns. This should include cleansing, toning, moisturizing, and sunscreen application. Consider incorporating serums or treatments targeting specific issues such as acne, hyperpigmentation, or dryness.

Address Specific Skin Concerns

Identify any specific skin concerns you want to address before your wedding day. Whether it’s acne breakouts, uneven skin tone, or dullness, consult with a dermatologist or esthetician to develop a targeted treatment plan. This may involve professional facials, chemical peels, or laser treatments to enhance your skin’s appearance and texture.

Hydration is Key

Hydrated skin is happy skin, so make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day to maintain optimal hydration levels. Additionally, incorporate hydrating skincare products such as hyaluronic acid serums or moisturizing masks to replenish moisture and plump up your skin.

Exfoliate Regularly

Regular exfoliation is essential for sloughing off dead skin cells and promoting cell turnover, resulting in smoother, more radiant skin. Choose a gentle exfoliator suitable for your skin type and use it 2-3 times a week to reveal fresh, glowing skin underneath.

Don’t Forget About Your Lips

Soft, smooth lips are a must-have for any bride. Incorporate a lip scrub into your skincare routine to buff away dry, flaky skin, followed by a nourishing lip balm to keep your lips hydrated and kissable soft.

Prioritize Stress Management and Self-Care

Wedding planning can be stressful, but don’t let it take a toll on your skin. Practice stress-relieving activities such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to keep your mind and body in balance. Remember to prioritize self-care and make time for activities that bring you joy and relaxation.

Get Sufficient Beauty Sleep

Quality sleep is crucial for healthy, radiant skin. Aim for 7-9 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night to allow your skin to repair and regenerate. Invest in a silk pillowcase to minimize friction and prevent creases and wrinkles while you sleep.

By following this step-by-step skin prep guide, you’ll be well on your way to achieving a radiant bridal glow that will leave you feeling confident and beautiful on your wedding day. Remember to start early, be consistent with your skincare routine, and prioritize self-care throughout the process. With a little dedication and effort, you’ll be glowing from the inside out as you walk down the aisle to say “I do.”

The IT Girl Hair Colour for 2024

Published

on

January is over halfway through, so now is the ideal time to schedule a hair appointment and treat yourself to a much-needed makeover. It’s time to give your desire for a fresh appearance some action, starting with a chic hair colour makeover. Your distinctive personality is reflected in your mane of hair, which changes colour and shape to mirror the range of emotions you experience during your life. Thus, wear your hair the way you prefer it since, in 2024, it will make a statement and the revolution will be colourful, daring, and wholly original! Are you looking for new and inspiring ideas? Fear not—we’ve got you covered.

In contrast to 2023, which focused mostly on adding warmth to varied hues, 2024 will be all about subtly updating those in-vogue colors that are already well-known to us. We’re still living in the past and trying to figure out how to style those early aughts beauty trends in a more contemporary manner. Additionally, we’ll keep seeing fresh takes on red hair, which this year proved to be the “it” colour. There’s a shade of red that works for everyone, whether you want to use lowlights to draw attention to certain areas or not.

Red hair was trendy in 2023, as seen on Emily Ratajkowski, Dua Lipa, Megan Fox, and many more of our favorite celebrities. Red hair can be really entertaining, depending on your skin tone and eye colour. You can choose between a bold red like Lipa and a more subdued, natural auburn like Meghan Fahy. Whichever shade of red suits you best, aftercare is crucial. Use a shampoo and conditioner with Color Care to prevent color fading. 

Rich bordeaux, a gorgeous blend of brown oak and burgundy-red, is the ideal option for giving dark hair a dash of refinement and coziness. It appears that this is the color of the season for everyone from Dua Lipa to Ira Khan. 

Copper, a color that isn’t typically considered red. A shiny, intensely contrasting auburn that strikes a balance between deep red and brown could be the hairstyle of 2024. This tint has great appeal for both Bella Thorne and Kendall Jenner, she declared herself a certified redhead when she wore it.

There will be more to red hair than a fashion statement in 2024. Since red is the undisputed color for IT girls in 2024, there is a red for every girl out there, regardless of shade.
