Best 25 Eye Makeup Tips For Beginners






Whether you’ve been a dedicated makeup enthusiast or you are someone who’s just starting out with makeup, when it comes to the eyes, makeup can be a little tricky. There’s no harm in having a few tricks up your sleeve so you can work that magic and achieve eye makeup that is so on-point. We’ve put together a list of 25 simple eye makeup tips for all the beginners out there who have been overwhelmed by all that they come across in the world of makeup.


Worry not, we’ve got your back! Just keep these simple tips on top of your mind when you’re doing your eyes, and you will go straight from being a novice to a Pro.

Simple Eye Makeup Tips For Beginners

  • Eyeliner Tips
  • Mascara Tips
  • Eyeshadow Tips
  • Eyebrow Tips


1. Eyeliner Tips






Eyeliner may or may not be a staple for you, but it is one of the most basic steps of doing your eye makeup. It gives you the freedom to work on the shape of your eyes, emphasize them and fill in any sparse looking lashes. It depends on the texture of the eyeliner and your preference as to how you’d like to apply this – clearly defined or smudged – it looks great either way.

Let’s take a quick look at some of the tips and techniques for this step.

  1. Ensure your eyelids are clean and then apply a primer on them, so the eye makeup does not smudge and stays on for longer.
  2. To make your eyelashes look denser, apply the eyeliner as close to the lashline as possible so it appears to be a part of your natural lash line. This is called tight-lining. Make a dotted line from the outer to the inwards corner and connect the dots (you can use a stiff slant brush to blend the dots out into an effortless soft line).
  3. Make sure the tip of your liner is thin but blunt to achieve precision and so you get the perfect shape. You can also freeze your eyeliner before sharpening to keep it from crumbling.
  4. To accomplish the perfect winged eyeliner, use a liquid liner – start on the lash line at the pupil and work your way towards the corners. If your hand is not steady enough for liquid liner then the first line your eyes with a pencil liner, then trace over it with your liquid liner.

(If you’re in a rush, you should just skip the liquid liner in your best interest!)

  1. To accomplish a smoky eye, opt for a pencil liner as these tend to be softer and creamier. Also, you can smudge it out using a smudging brush for that effortlessly cool smoky eye.
  2. As you age, opt for more subtle colors like brown for a more elegant look and apply mascara to complement the simple look.


Note: Always tilt your face up and look down as you apply eyeliner. Doing this ensures you achieve symmetry.

2. Mascara Tips







Don’t you agree that mascara completely transforms your eyes, giving you that extra oomph? The magical mascara wand makes you look bright-eyed and youthful. It’s a total game changer and the only kind of drama that I like.


Here are some important tips for bang-on mascara application.

  1. Always start applying your mascara from the roots of your lashes and wiggle your way to the tips. Doing this instantly volumizes your lashes and does not weigh them down.
  2. After applying one coat of mascara, wait for about ten seconds to go in with a second coat (if desired). This way, your lashes don’t get clumpy!
  3. Wipe off excess mascara from the wand on a tissue before applying, so it’s easy to maneuver and won’t clump (you will also avoid the horrid spidery-lashes look).
  4. Before you go in with mascara, always make sure to curl your lashes using a high-quality eyelash curler. When you go in with curling, pinch your eyelash curler at last base and hold it tightly rotating upwards.
  5. The way you hold your mascara matters! Hold your wand horizontally for thicker lashes and vertically (especially for the lower lashes) for a more natural look.
  6. If you want to make your mascara last longer, then stop pumping the wand while pulling it out (this way you are only sending in the air to dry the product out), just swirl it to prevent it from drying out.

Note: For best results, mascara should be the last step of your eye makeup.

3.Eyeshadow Tips







  1. Eyeshadow does the job of adding depth and giving dimension to your eyes. If it’s applied correctly, it makes your eyes look bigger and helps accentuate your eye color. Want some tips?
  2. Invest in high-quality products and brushes. They will go a long way besides ensuring proper application and blending.
  3. If you want your eyeshadow to stay put all day and not crease beside wanting the eyeshadow color to really pop out – use a good primer before you go in with the eyeshadow.

On the other hand, if you want to make a less pigmented eyeshadow look vibrant and poppy, cover your eyelid with a white eyeliner first. This helps to cancel out the color of your skin and it creates an even base for your eyeshadow.
  1. For the bottom area of your eye (that is just near the lash line) – use a dark shade of eyeshadow, for the area above that, use a medium shade and for the top, use a light shade and blend them well.

4.Eyebrow Tips






Eyebrows are often underrated, and I can’t begin to stress how important they are to provide a structure to your face. Well groomed brows are indeed a game changer, they frame the eyes and them drastically ‘up’ your beauty quotient. If you are someone who has over-plucked them, then worry not, because just a little bit of added definition will make a big impact!


Want some tips?

  1. There are various brow products available in the market. Pick a shade that best suits your hair color and fills in any gaps using the product.
  2. The most important thing to remember while defining your eyebrows is to keep the look as natural as possible. For this – make sure to blend the product out properly to avoid any harsh lines and such.
  3. Use a subtle highlighter right beneath the brow, under your arch to show off the shape and to add height to your brows.
  4. If your eyebrows are out of control, use an eyebrow gel to keep them in place. They also tend to look a lot better and groomed with just a little bit of that gel.
  5. Do you want to know the best trick in the book? For a bolder look, use an angled stiff brush and wet it before you fill your brows in with matte brown eyeshadow.

Some Other Eye Makeup Tips For Beginners


  1. To avoid your base from ruining due to eyeshadow fall-out, finish your eye makeup first and then proceed with the base to ensure your makeup looks fresh.
  2. If you are planning to wear loud eye makeup, keep the lips subtle. It’s always best to emphasize one feature at a time.
  3. To make your eyes look brighter and youthful, highlight the inner corner of the eyes with a light color of eyeshadow.
  4. If you want to instantly curl your stubborn lashes, use a blow-dryer on your curler (ensure it’s not too hot) before you curl them – this way, they will stay curled for longer.
  5. If you’ve got an excess product, say eyeshadow, use a blotting paper to remove the excess eyeshadow without disturbing the eyeliner.

Those were some really simple eye makeup tips and hacks for every beginner out there who have been overwhelmed by the world of makeup. These tips cover all the basics and hopefully, you will keep some of these pointers in mind the next time you’re doing your makeup.

Now that you have some tricks and techniques of how to put these products on, it’s time you learned a thing or two about how to remove eye makeup too. It’s critical for you to take off every bit of makeup at the end of the day to ensure your eyes and skin remain healthy. There are a lot of ways to remove waterproof, stubborn makeup. Let’s look at a few easy ways to remove eye makeup.

10 Things Women With Clear Skin Do Every Day, According to Dermatologists





Clear skin: we all want it. But, between hormones, pollution and other pore-clogging aggressors waiting to wreak havoc on our complexions, achieving a clearer, blemish-free complexion can seem like an impossible feat. Fortunately though, according to dermatologists, it’s totally attainable, but it does require a few lifestyle changes to get your skin right back on track. To find out for ourselves what women with clearer skin do (almost) every day, we sought the advice of two top dermatologists. See their expert tips below.

1. They Cleanse With a Sonic Cleansing System


If you want clear skin, you’re going to have to cleanse better. According to a board-certified dermatologist and author of Skin Rules: Trade Secrets from a Top New York Dermatologist, Dr. Debra Jaliman, a sonic cleansing system is the best way to start, “as it takes off more dirt, bacteria, and makeup from your skin.” In addition to providing the skin with a deep cleanse, sonic cleansing brushes exfoliate the surface of the skin, leaving it looking and feeling softer and smoother, thus revealing a more clear complexion.

Try: FOREO LUNA™ mini

2. They Use Mild Cleansers


On top of cleansing your complexion with a sonic cleansing system, Dr. Jaliman suggests switching to a mild cleanser. If you are experiencing breakouts, a mild cleanser allows you to cleanse your complexion thoroughly without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Stripping the skin of its natural oils can often lead to an increase in oil and more breakouts. Since mild cleansers are more gentle on the skin, you can follow up your regimen with a stronger acne product that targets breakouts.

Try: Glytone Mild Gel Cleanser

3. They Apply Topical Retinoids Before Bed


If you are experiencing a bout of acne, board-certified dermatologist and Director of Clinical Research at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York, Dr. Jeremy Brauer suggests giving topical retinoids a try. Applying a topical retinoid made from antioxidant-rich vitamin A to your complexion as part of your nighttime routine can help to unclog follicles and in turn, may help acne treatments work better and faster.

Try: Avene Retinal 0.1 Intensive Cream

4. They Go Hands-Free


We hate to break it to you, but your cell phone could be the reason for your breakouts. According to Dr. Jaliman, the bacteria on your phone will cause breakouts. Her solution? “Don’t rest your phone against your face, use earbuds instead!” In addition to earbuds, you should also consider wiping your phone down with a disinfecting wipe or cotton pad dampened with rubbing alcohol.

5. They Don’t Pick, Poke or Pop Pimples


We know you’ve probably been told this a thousand times, but we thought one more reminder wouldn’t hurt. According to Dr. Brauer, picking, poking and popping your skin will not get you the results you’re looking for. If you have a pimple that you’re desperate to pop, try applying a spot treatment or pimple cream to the affected area instead of picking. After all, pimple creams are designed for this sort of skincare woes.

6. They Skip the Junk (Most of the Time)


As much as we hate to admit, we’re all a little guilty of splurging on junk food every once and a while. And while it may be satisfying to our cravings, junk food is not beneficial for our skin. Dr. Jaliman suggests cutting down your processed food, sugar, and dairy intake since those can lead to breakouts and recommends “eating a diet rich in antioxidants instead.” That being said, you can still succumb to your sweet tooth with a healthy sweet, like antioxidant-rich fruits and berries.


7. They Get a Good Night Sleep


Easier said than done, right? But, for the sake of clear skin (and your sanity), Dr. Brauer says to make it a point to get a better night’s sleep. When you sleep, the skin works to restore itself through a process called regeneration and lack of sleep can lead to a tired-looking complexion, dark circles, puffy under-eye bags and sometimes even breakouts. Whether this means turning your phone or TV off an hour earlier than usual, taking a relaxing bubble bath before bed, or giving meditation a try, you’ll be glad you did!

8. They Use a Clay Mask


Need a facial but don’t have time? Dr. Jaliman suggests treating your complexion to a weekly at-home clay mask facial. You can use your favorite bentonite-infused face mask or create your own! To DIY your own clay mask, Dr. Jaliman suggests combining two tablespoons of all-natural calcium bentonite clay powder with one tablespoon of water and one tablespoon of honey to form a paste. Apply it onto the skin and let it work its magic for 10 to 15 minutes before rinsing off with a warm washcloth. Pat the skin dry and voilà! “This will leave your skin feeling smooth, yet hydrated,” says Dr. Jaliman.

9. They Use a Toner


If you aren’t already using a toner in your morning and evening skincare routine, now is the time to start. Dr. Jaliman suggests choosing “a toner with glycolic acid or salicylic acid to unclog the pores for clearer skin.” In addition to promoting clearer skin, toners can also balance the skin’s natural pH level and soothe your complexion.

Try: SkinCeuticals LHA Solution


10. They Don’t Skip Out on Sunscreen


When it comes to breakout-prone skin, finding a sunscreen that works with your skin type and doesn’t cause new blemishes is actually easier than you may think. Dr. Brauer suggests choosing a broad spectrum, meaning an SPF that will protect your skin from both UVA and UVB sun rays.

How to Clean Your Makeup Brushes: A Step by Step Guide






Half of getting what you want from your makeup boils down to how efficient your makeup tools are. We’re talking about your eyelash curlers, your sponges and of course, your makeup brushes. These tools are only as good as how diligent you are at taking care of them. “Clean makeup brushes are essential for a flawless makeup application and maintaining brush function,” says Kayla Casciano, makeup expert and education executive at Sigma Beauty. “Product buildup in your bristles causes makeup to apply unevenly and wastes product. Not to mention, not cleaning your makeup brushes regularly can cause mold and bacteria, which can aggravate blemishes and breakouts.”

Need advice on how to give your makeup brushes some TLC? We asked Kayla for some tips.

How often should we clean our brushes?


Kayla: Ideally, everyone should wash their brushes once a week if you use them regularly. Of course, very few people actually do it that often. That’s why Sigma Beauty invented the Sigma Spa® brush care line, the Sigma Dry's Shape® tools and most recently, our SigMagic™ Brushampoo™, which the beauty world went nuts over! Every-one of these helps cut down the time and effort that goes into brush washing so the chore isn’t so daunting.

How should we store our makeup brushes to make sure they last longer?


Kayla: It depends on the size of your collection, but overall you don’t want to smash the bristles, which can change the shape and function of the brush. For smaller collections, we recommend storing them in a cup, bristles up, where they won’t get dusty. The bestselling Brush Cup Holder is the perfect solution, it can be two cups or snapped together around your brushes creating a case. For larger collections, a Brush Case is best. They hold each brush in place without damaging the bristles and are easy to flip through when you need that one crucial tool.

How should we clean our makeup brushes?


Kayla: With proper care, Sigma brushes will last well beyond their two-year warranty and every beauty enthusiast can build their collection as skills and trends develop. Just remember, keeping them clean is important in protecting all the money you spend on makeup brushes.


Here’s how to clean your makeup brushes the right way:





STEP 1: Wet Just the Bristles




As with washing your hair, the first step is to wet just the bristles of your brush. Run the tips of your brush under lukewarm water without getting the ferrule—the part where the handle meets the bristles—wet. This is to avoid loosening the glue that holds your brush together. Another important thing to remember: Don’t ever submerge your brushes in water!










STEP 2: Wash With a Gentle Brush Cleanser




Dispense a small amount of gentle shampoo or brush cleanser onto the bristles and then swirl it on your hand. For this task, we like using SigMagic™ Brushampoo™ because it’s formulated with all-natural ingredients, like virgin coconut and palm oil, so it’s 100% gentle on our brushes.

TRY: Sigma also carries a range of brush-cleaning mats, which features patented textures to get every nook and cranny of your brush. If you’re using any of these mats, swirl your brush on the WASH texture of the mat for a much deeper clean.






STEP 3: Rinse Thoroughly




Run the soapy bristles under lukewarm water. If you’re using the Sigma Brush Cleaning Mat, sweep the brush back and forth where it says RINSE under running water until the water runs clear.

If you feel that your brush could use another round, repeat steps 2 and 3, but instead of WASH and RINSE, use the REFINE and REFINE PLUS textures of your mat for a maximum clean.






STEP 4: Squeeze and Dry




Gently squeeze out any excess water from the bristles and lay your brush flat on a clean towel or cloth to dry. If you’ve got Sigma’s Dry’n Shape Spa, even better! This handy tool allows your brushes to dry more quickly while maintaining the shape of your brushes.

6 Different Types of Cleansers for Every Skin Type



Hello ladies,

Today, we would be talking about different types of cleansers available in the market. There are several alternatives to soap and water and one such option is using cleansers. All the cleansers are basically a mixture of oil, wax, and water but, manufacturers modify the formulations to suit different skin types.







1. Gel Cleanser:


Gel cleansers are generally suitable for combination and oily skin as it penetrates deep into the skin and prevents breakouts as well. Most of the gel cleaners do not foam a lot but, they provide a decent amount of lather to remove the toxins and dirt from the face. Due to the gel-like texture, many of them are not convinced that the skin is clean but actually, it cleanses your skin deeply and prevents accumulation of oil on the face.




2. Cleansing Milk:


Most of them use cleansing milk as a makeup remover but not as a cleanser. However, cleansing milk is a humble and polite type of skin cleanser which helps to deep clean your pores and also hydrates your skin well. Cleansers are generally made of milk extract which helps to keep your skin soft, smooth and hydrated. Cleansing your face with a cleansing milk can help to control sebum secretions. However, you may need to double cleanse after using a cleansing milk. If you feel your skin is clean and happy, skip the process of double cleansing.



3. Self-foaming Cleanser:


Self-foaming cleansers are good for normal, combination and oily skin. People with extremely dry, sensitive or skin with eczema should stay away from self-foaming cleansers. The self-foaming cleanser is also known as an environment-friendly product as you need less amount of water to rinse. Due to ultra smoothing forms, it is extremely good to use the self-foaming cleansers. People with very dry skin should avoid using self-foaming cleanser as it may dry out your skin too much.

4. Exfoliating Cleanser:


Exfoliating cleanser is extremely good for all types of skin except for women with sensitive and very dry skin. Exfoliating cleanser is also known as a 3 in 1 product as it helps to deep clean the skin, exfoliate it well and also removes the makeup thoroughly. This cleanser is one of the best cleansers that can be used to remove makeup. Depending upon the ingredients, an exfoliating cleanser should not be used on a daily basis.




5. Multi-task Cleanser:


The multi-task cleanser is suitable for all skin types and is used as a hydrating product as well. Using a multi-task cleanser helps to remove heavy makeup and also work as an excellent hydrating product. It is extremely light and hydrating on the skin. Even if you don’t want to remove makeup using this, you can also use this on bare skin to keep your skin hydrated and clean. However, you should skip using a toner after using the cleanser.




6. Foaming Cleanser:


Foaming cleanser is extremely good for women with a combination and oily skin. Using a foaming cleanser is extremely soothing as it helps to clear out the skin and also moisturizes the skin. People with oily skin can have a better luck with foaming cleansers as they are particularly made to remove dirt, sweat, sebum, bacteria and also helps in moisturizing the skin. Foaming cleansers are easy on pockets as just one tube of cleanser can last for months together.

5 STEPS TO PERFECT SKIN: BEAUTIFUL SKIN MADE EASY





Skincare can seem so complicated and overwhelming. With all the products on the market each touting to have the perfect answer you are looking for to achieve beautiful skin, I often find consumers looking for simple answers and clear information. One of the most asked questions skin care experts get is what do I really need to use every day and how often. Is just washing my face enough? What is a serum and why do you need one? At Somebody we get calls, emails and customers walking into our stores daily looking for these answers. I love to see people really care about and want to take care of their skin. They have questions and are seeking answers. Trust me the chemists and formulators making these products know. Their companies try to ”sell” you what they want you to believe on the front of their package. Having just come back from being the keynote speaker at The Society Of Cosmetic Chemists annual convention this year, I can assure you, they are formulating with the knowledge that the consumer is looking for answers. The cosmetic companies they work for use this information to “sell” you what they want you to believe. So do you really need a day and night cream, 2 serums and new products every week? Learn the real measures you need in order to protect and nurture your skin and see the rewards in return. Please note although we are looking at what to do, this in no way helps you with which products and ingredients to use. All have different formulations, some good some not so. In an upcoming blog, I will address what to look for in each of these products below and how to make your own at home.

There are 5 steps to perfect skin. As you will see serum can be skipped completely depending on your skins needs and a mask does not have to be every day. These basic steps performed properly in conjunction with the right products will keep you glowing! The best at home skin care routine still needs a periodical professional facial for the utmost results.

Each step (except face mask) should be done morning and night.

CLEANSE


Washing your face is a simple task, but the benefits of this simple action are innumerable. Before you wash (or touch!) your face, make sure to wash your hands. It is important to wash your face with lukewarm water, as water that is too hot can break capillaries, cause redness, and damage cells, but cold water in my observations, will not allow your pores to completely open. Once your face is dampened and warm, I teach my clients to apply cleanser in small, upward circular motions using the ring and middle fingers. These fingers are the weakest, thus ensuring that you won’t rub too hard and cause damage. The skin on our faces is more sensitive than we would think, meaning that it often suffers unintentional abuse, which can lead to long-term damage.

When cleansing by starting at the bottom of the face and working your way upward, I always tell me, clients, they are giving themselves an anti-gravity lift. This will also stimulate the skin, getting blood flowing and allowing pores to open, ensuring that your skin gets truly clean. To rinse cleanser, gently splash with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel. Be careful not to damage skin by drying aggressively.

TONE


I have always loved finding cost-cutting measures and teaching clients how to either do without or make their own. When I was first starting as a young esthetician one of the things I told clients was they could skip toner in their skincare routine. I wish I could go and tell each and every one of them how wrong I was! In my many years of working with skin, I can see how wrong I was. Toner is a must in a good skincare routine. Its main functions are too close pores, remove the last traces of dirt and oil, re-balance skin’s pH after cleansing and to deposits active ingredient deeper into the layers of your skin after the dirt and oil are removed from cleansing. Toning will also get rid of any remaining traces of cleanser and/or mask. I see pore health just like body health, it benefits from a workout. So I devised a pore “exercise” after seeing too many congested pores. I find it beneficial to open and close pores repeatedly, as not only can they expel more unwanted build-up, they can also absorb actives more deeply each time. To do this workout I suggest freezing some of your toner in ice cube trays and the taking the frozen cubes into the shower. Let the steam of the shower gently heat your face and then apply ice, repeat till ice is melted.

SERUM


Serums tend to confuse people. When do you use them, why do I really need one, what do they do, if I use one do I still need to moisturize? Plain and simple a serum is a problem solver. The only reason to use one is if you have a targeted problem that needs resolution. For example pimples, wrinkles, dark spots or to prevent the signs of aging. Some serums can also be preventative, so they stop the problem before it starts. These serums can be everything from antioxidants to prevent aging or hyaluronic acid to increase hydration. You can see some of the same active ingredients in moisturizer, but as a formulator, we strive to make good serums formulated to penetrate deeper and just focus on their job. They can be more concentrated and with the single focus, get the job done. When I formulate serums I have more flexibility with the goals I am after not having to also address moisture. They are inherently different from a moisturizer and generally have a lighter formula to allow the active ingredients to be more deeply absorbed by the skin. Serums are applied under moisturizer and should be paired with a complimentary facial moisturizer. When you use active ingredients that have a synergy with each other, results will be enhanced. When you use ones that are not formulated to be paired together they may reduce the efficacy.

MOISTURIZE


Any skin expert will tell you dry skin is unhappy skin. We see the effects of dry skin all the time. It can lead to premature signs of aging, loss of luster and youthful glow, clogged pores, cell damage, and loss of beneficial nutrients. Proper hydration is a crucial part of skin health and anti-aging care. Even if your skin is oily, it may still need hydration (fluid) between the cells. Proper hydration is two-fold; skin needs both fluid and oil content, so it is very important to make sure that your skin is properly and fully hydrated. There are two basic kinds of moisturizers. Oils, that penetrate deeper than creams and actually helps to moderate skin’s oil production (although it may seem counter-intuitive to put oil on oily skin, this will actually be beneficial in the long-term as your skin will begin to understand and regulate its own oil production.), and face creams. When choosing a face cream make sure you find one with natural ingredients that help the cream penetrate your skin instead of just laying on top. If you are constantly applying face cream and never feeling hydrated, I suggest you look at one (or all) of these three things. Are you using a cleanser that is stripping your skin, are your pores clogged or is your facial cream actually penetrating the layers of skin.

Please note: When it comes to the eye region you will need a specific moisturizer formulated for that area. This is because the skin under the eyes is among the thinnest on the body, and very fragile and delicate. Some moisturizers contain actives that are too irritating around the eyes. Additionally, dark circles can become a problem since as we age lose fat in the under-eye area. To resolve this issue you will need eye creams with actives targeted to address this.

MASK


Most people will try to skip using a mask. They either feel like it is unnecessary or they do not have the time and don’t want to spend the additional money. Let's address all these common reasons why people skip them and put it to rest! Facemasks are not a side note! A good mask is truly a workhorse of any good skincare routine. They support and enhance the goals you are trying to achieve as well as the right mask will keep your pores clean. Clean pores are no small part of healthy skin, ask any esthetician and they will tell you the importance and value. Seeing what clogged pores due to skin truly illuminates the importance of keeping them clean and healthy so they can breathe and function properly. As for time and money, the best way to use a mask is in the shower (which most people besides bath-tubers are already doing), so gone are the days where you need to find an extra 10-20 minutes to lie down while your mask is on and there are so many effective masks you can make from what is in your fridge and pantry money is not an excuse either!

There are three types of masks: deep-pore, mid-pore, and topical.

When I formulate a deep-pore cleansing mask I am designing it to adhere to any accumulated build-up in the pores and remove it. This build-up comes from everything from pollution, rancid oils, chemicals in our skin are to dead skin cells and smoke. While this is crucial to keep your pores clean for optimum skin health, it is important not to strip your skin and be over aggressive with chemical peels and microdermabrasion.

Mid-pore masks will keep your pores clear and healthy in the interim. They help prevent buildup making deep cleaning easier and more effective. They can (and should) also have active ingredients that do everything from supply skin nutritions to anti-aging actives.

Topical masks are meant to do surface work. They can do everything from removing dead skin cells to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. They are not meant to clean your pores at all. Topical masks can give you that immediate look good, feel soft, radiating glow. The right topical mask can feel like a magical makeover.

Using a combination of all the masks is best for all skin types. Deep pore cleaning can be done once a week, mid pore up to 3 times a week and most topical masks daily. It is best to either cover a mask with a hand towel that is saturated with lukewarm water (wrapped from chin to chin leaving out your mouth and nose) or apply in the shower. The gentle steam will not only hydrolyze actives deep into your pores but also keep the mask from drying, which actually mars its effectiveness. One way I teach my clients to get this effect is to apply their mask in the shower. It is my favorite method as far as time, effectiveness and ease. The warm moist steam from the shower acts like a professional estheticians facial steamer at home.

6 Different Types of Nose Rings



The nose ring is one of the essential ornament for Indian brides during the wedding and picking up the right one can help you to give a flawless look. It is very important to pick up the appropriate type of nose ring according to your face shape as it has the power to add or decrease the glamour from your face. When it comes to a nose ring, there is no other woman except Rati who can explain us about, how to rock this trend. I tried to club different styles of nose rings which Rati has flaunted effortlessly.





1. Segment Rings:


Segment rings are generally for those who have high and broad cheekbones. Segment rings are the same which was carried by Sonakshi Sinha in the movie Dabangg. So, if you are the one with sharp and high cheekbones, we recommend you to use segment rings. These segment rings are one of the best rings that looks great on Rati’s face.




2. Dainty Studs:


People with a small nose should be extra cautious while selecting a nose ring. Dainty studs are the one for those who have a small nose. Dainty studs look absolutely good and subtle when worn over a small nose. A tiny diamond or a crystal ball is enough to make your resemblance a memorable one.



3. Embellished Chains:


The trend of embellished chains was rocked by Deepika Padukone in Bajirao Mastani. Embellished chains are for those who have an oval-shaped face. A running chain with a large ring on the nose is a great way to balance the oval shaped face. This is generally worn by most of the Punjabi brides. If you are carrying a sharara or Pakistani apparel, embellished chains are the best.



4. Half-Hoops:


For a woman who has a round face should opt for half-hoops style. This half-circle ring will make your face look slimmer and stylish. A woman should wear the half circles as the arch shape of the nose ring can help to balance the chubby face of a girl. These days, there are several types and designs in half hoops, so you a pickup anyone among them. Rati you rocked this trend :*

5. Beaded Hoops:


Beaded hoops are one of the simplest yet stylish forms of nose rings which can be carried without any effort. This edgy beaded hoops can help to add volume to your thin and skinny face. These rings are heavy and can work well on a woman with a broad forehead and narrow chin.




6. Large sized Naths:


Loved Aishwarya Rai’s appearance in Jodha Akbar? Thanks to the large-sized nath's which complimented Aish’s look equally. Largely sized nath's should be preferred by a woman with heart shaped face as it helps to draw attention from the wide nose and a broad forehead. These are generally worn by brides from Rajputana family or other royal parties. Look at the way, Rati carried this royal attire along with a beautiful jewellery.

How To Choose Your Bridal Lehenga Colour According To Complexion?







Choosing Your Best Bridal Lehenga Colour According To Skin Tone

Shaadi season is going to be here soon and c’mon let’s admit it, even if you are the bride’s sister’s chachi’s bhaji's daughter, you still want to look better than the bride herself. It’s okay, we are all guilty of that. BUT, but, if you are a bride-to-be and you still don’t know what to wear for your wedding, you have come to the right place young woman. Your perfect Indian wedding outfit should be based on your Indian skin tone whether you are fair, medium or dark. Before buying your bridal lehenga, access your complexion and then choose your bridal wear. Read on, and thank me later. Also, if you’re the bhaji's daughter, read on as well, just please don’t steal the pretty bride’s limelight, do it for your wedding, not hers.


While most traditional brides go for a red bridal lehenga, think to yourself if red is really your color. Red might suit a dusky bride more than a fair skin bride. While a pink wedding lehenga is more apt for fair skin brides rather than dark skin toned brides. You see..buy the color which works for your complexion whether fair or wheatish. Think which lehenga color suits you the best. Don’t just follow the trends. Pastel lehengas are trending but that doesn't mean you should buy your wedding outfit in that color.

Have you ever seen the most gorgeous wedding trousseau and realized that the lehenga is beautiful, but it just looks odd on you, like something is not right. It’s you, not the lehenga. We often wear colors that are our “favorite”, but we do not think about whether it suits us or not. For example, if hot pink is your favorite color, it is not going to suit all skin tones no matter how beautiful the lehenga is. When you dress up as a bride, you dress so that people notice you, rather than just the outfit. Remember this while bridal shopping.

Compliments should sound like, “Wow you look beautiful in this dress!”, rather than, “Wow, that’s a beautiful dress!”. Get the difference? No? Don’t worry, simply read on. Before we decide to rush to the wedding store and choose the color of your Indian bridal dress, do some study, some research, understand what works for you and what does not, and embrace it. Do not buy the first thing you see, look for a while, and pick the best. Avoid shopping for your lehenga online, go wedding shopping with your mom, sister or your girlfriends.

How to choose the best bridal lehenga color according to complexion?

 Grab a pen and paper and let’s get started, shall we?


1. Identifying your skin color. In India, wee prominently has 3 major skin tones. They are Fair, Wheatish, and Dusky. Identify which category you come under and make a note it. An Indian bride’s skin complexion plays the priority because we have no shortage of colors for bridal outfits.

2. Identify your skin undertone. This is very important. Your undertone is the determining factor of which colors suit you. There are 2 major undertones, warm and cool. In case you are not sure, grab a white and an off-white piece of cloth. If your skin looks brighter while wearing the white piece, you have a cool undertone. If not, then warm. Another test is, if the veins on your wrist are blue then you have cool undertones and if they are green then you have warm undertones.


3. Understanding your colors based on seasons. While selecting the right lehenga color according to your skin tone is important, but seasons play an important role too. Now, this step may seem a little difficult to follow, but if you got the first two steps clear, this will not be a problem. If you are fair with a warm undertone, your colors are Spring. If you are fair with a cool undertone, you are Summer. If you are Wheatish with a warm undertone, you are Spring, and if you have a cool undertone, you are Autumn. If you are Dusky with a warm undertone, you are Autumn, else, you are Winter. So confusing, isn’t it? Don’t worry, your confusion will be cleared in a minute.

1. Bridal lehenga colors for Cool fair complexion:


After completing the analysis, if you got Summer, your best-suited colors are:
Lemon Yellow, Scarlet, Bubblegum Pink, Light Green, Sky blue, etc. Cool toned fair brides try lehengas in these shades or shades that come in the lighter end of the color spectrum. Not just for your wedding dress, you can use this analysis even for your Roka, Sangeet, Mehendi, whatever the occasion may be. Here are a few bridal outfit choices.









My personal favorite is the last blue lehenga, but alas, it does not come in my color range. I’m quite sad about that.

2. Brides with Fair to Wheatish Skin Tone with Warm Undertones:


Now, if you are a Spring, your shades are on the pastel side and the black shades. Pastels are not everybody’s cup of tea, so, if you can pull it off, wear pastels!! Pastel lehengas are so in right now, but apart from being in, you also need the right skin tone to wear right? And if pastels are not your thing, do not even consider it. I’m saying this out of personal experience, if you are a fall or a winter, do not try pastels, it is going to make your skin pale and blotchy. Highlight your skin complexion by wearing the right lehenga color, not the other way round.


If you are fair to wheatish skin bride and pastels are still not your thing, opt for the lehengas in block shades, shades that have not been mixed and matched and are the original, true colors. One can try Bridal lehenga colors like Lilac, Red, Orange, Chrome Yellow,, Leaf Green and pastels, of course. Here are a few wedding lehenga options you could try:












3. Brides With Cool Wheatish Skin or Warm Dark Indian Skin Tone:


In case you are an Autumn or Fall, you are on the lighter end of the darker spectrum. Confusing? Don’t worry. People with Autumns are often confused with Spring, but it is your undertone that ultimately decides your season. So, if you are cool medium or warm dark Indian bride searching for the right bridal lehenga color, your colors are Yellow Ochre, Maroon, Pumpkin Orange, Olive Green, Navy Blue, Purple, Rust, Brown, Jade, and Emerald to name a few. Choosing the right bridal lehenga color for dark skin brides is not difficult opposed to the general notion. Here are your D day lehenga choices:











4. Lehenga colors for Cool dark complexion:

Lastly, if you are a Winter, firstly, hi-five, I am a Winter myself. Secondly, do not feel restricted or disappointed now that you know you are a Winter. Yes, Winter is tricky, but it is okay, we are here to help you! Your color choices can be White, Black, Grey, Magenta, Mauve, Burgundy, Dark Blue, Violet, Christmas Green, Wine, Copper, to name a few. Here are your wedding outfit options:













With this being said, understand that this guide is not to change your perspective about fashion and your favorite colors completely, but, it is meant to give direction to your sense of fashion. For example, if I am a Winter and I like red, instead of opting for the typical Crimson Red, I can opt for Wine or Burgundy instead. Or, if I am an Autumn and I like Yellow, I can wear a Yellow Ochre rather than a Lemon Yellow. Get the difference?

Now, you are completely free to read past this entire guide on how to choose the best bridal lehenga color and do whatever you ultimately want to do, but understand that this wedding post is just giving you a sense of understanding of colors and knowing what works for your skin tone as well as your undertone.

Go, get your shaadi outfits ready! Keep these points in mind, or don’t, it's your wish! Happy wedding shopping and until then, cheers!
