5 DIY Beauty Hacks That Are Borderline Genius

1. Keep Lipstick Off Teeth

Lipstick on the teeth has plagued women for centuries. Nobody likes to smile and find out that they have red all along their pearly whites. A great way to avoid this is to simply wipe your lips from the inside out. After you finish applying your lipstick, just stick your finger in your mouth and pull it out. Remember making those “popping” noises when you were a kid? This is the same thing. Your finger will wipe away the excess lipstick and leave your teeth shiny white.

                                         

2. White Eye Shadow Makes Eyes Stand Out

White eye shadow is a great choice if you really want your eyes to stand out. You just have to layer your lid with white eye shadow and then add the colors that you want. The white will also keep those other colors from rubbing off before the end of the day and you can even add white to the top of the lid by the brow to really make your eyes pop.

 

3. Use Mascara as Eye Liner

If you have run out of eye liner and you are in a hurry, you can use your mascara instead. Just rub an eye liner brush over the mascara brush and then line your eyes. This works well if your mascara is the same color as the eye liner that you typically use and even if it’s not, it will help you to get your eyes lined in a pinch. The mascara will wash off your eye lids just like it does off your lashes.

 

4. Apply Concealer in a Triangle Shape

Concealing dark circles and bags under your eyes is much easier when you apply concealer properly. Instead of dotting on concealer in the pattern of your eyes, apply it in a triangle shape. Just dot it on under your eyes and blend downward in the triangle shape. It will perfectly cover up those dark circles and bags and give you the look that you want.

 

5. Make Your Own Gel Eyeliner

Gel eyeliner is a great way to make your eyes look smoldering and gel tends to last longer than traditional eyeliner pencils. If you notice that your eyeliner rubs off or smudges before the end of the day, you can use gel eyeliner in its place. The problem is that gel eyeliners can be a bit more expensive than pencils. So, just make your own. You just have to take a lighter and carefully heat the end of any eyeliner pencil to create gel eyeliner that looks great and will last all day. Via –  

 

Easy Tricks to Cope With Your Eyebrows

 I know you’re beautiful but it’s not enough to have beautiful features, there are hairs everywhere and it is not very good looking when you have hairy and unmaintained eyebrows. That’s the reason why we are eager to show you some clever tricks for shaping perfect eyebrows, which will match with your beautiful face:

• Pluck your brows after shower. Warm water opens the follicles and soften the hairs and help them to come out more easily.
• Manage the pain. So little hairs and so much pain, it’s unfair! Use some numbing gel to eliminate the pain.
• Don’t use magnifying mirror. It can make it look like there is more hair to remove, which is unnecessary and can lead to overplucking. Use a regular mirror in a well-lit room – if you can’t see the hair under these conditions, neither can anyone else.
• Remember to define your arch limits. The common way to do it is to use a pencil for guidance. Your brow should start directly above your tear duct, peak in line with the outer side of your iris and ends where the pencil is going through the outer corner of your eye. Don’t move the starting point of the pencil – at the base of the nose.
• Create the shape. Use soft, creamy brow pencil and remove only the hairs that are above or below the shape you’ve made.
• Don’t allow the redness to come. Right after tweezing use some moisturizing cream.
• Brush them up. Your brows will be messy after the tweezing and you should put them in order.
• Choose the right colour. After tweezing you’ll need to fill in the blanks but be careful with the colours. If you are brunette use one or two shades lighter than your hair colour. And for the blondes – go for golden shades. If you have nice red hair – use warm, brown hue.
• Shaping your brows is tricky business. Their form could change entirely your face look and expression. So, be careful and follow these steps for plucking the perfect eyebrows.

Fresh Eye Look for the Summer

Looking fresh and natural should be one of your top priorities in the summer. Of course, a small part of us like a “naked” look with no makeup, so here is an idea of how to keep a fresh appearance with a little emphasizing on the eyes.

• Apply a little brown eyeshadow on the top line of your eyelid.
• Draw a slight line with black eyeliner.
• Fill it and make it a little wider with a little pin-up wing finish on the outer part of the eye.

 

See? Just for a minute you have a fresh, yet not too dark eye makeup!

Bold Eye – Vibrant Lip Makeup

Like in fashion, rules in makeup should not be considered. The bolder and wilder you are, the more successful you might be in expressing yourself. Many times we have heard that if you are doing a strong eye makeup, you should do a nude lip, and the other way around too: red lipstick does not go with black smoky eyes. That has changed! You can do both a strong eye and lip and look fashionable and stylish in the same time. Here is one idea:

• With the help of a very small thin brush, apply a dark eyeliner contour from the inner end of your eye to its outside.
• Using brush and a colorful liquid eyeliner or an eyeshadow, draw a brightly colored line over the black one. Make it thicker and longer than the basic one.
• Now do a bold lip in bright red!

Adding color to your makeup routine and being crazier with it is not a bad thing and the best time to do it is definitely summer!

Cat Eye Tips

The cat eye eyeliner has many different techniques and interpretations, we all know that. As it is one of the most popular eyeliner, that is absolutely normal. Personally, I begin with drawing the line over the eyelid, but in the picture below we have a starting point from the cat eye line.

So, let’s get started! You begin drawing the line in the corner of your eyes by placing two dots and afterwards connecting them. Then you repeat the step until you are completely satisfied with the result.

Lastly, you just fully finish your eyeliner and voila! You now have a gorgeous eyeliner.

Get Rid of The Chin Hair

It’s happening sometimes and we are not guilty for having nasty genes. Some of us have a little bit more of facial hair. More than needed. But there is a safe haven – homemade sugar wax for with will help you to get rid of that hairs. You will notice that after a few uses the hair won’t grow anymore. Check it out:

• Mix two teaspoons of granulated sugar and one teaspoon each of honey and water.
•  Heat the mixture in a microwave for about half a minute until it bubbles and turns brown. Let it cool.
• Apply it on the areas where you have hairs with a spatula.
• Place a cloth strip over the sugar wax and smooth it out with your fingers in the direction of the hair growth.
• Rip it off in the opposite direction of hair growth.
• Repeat as needed. 
• Remember not to apply any cosmetics after that procedure. Just wash your face with warm water. You can apply cream the day after.

Glam Half-up Bouffant Tutorial

Some of us just can’t manage to do the complicated beautiful hairstyles that professionals do at home. That is why we are showing you how you can make your appearance a little different without having lots of skills. For this retro hairstyle you just need some hairspray and a thin comb.

• When doing a special hairstyle, it is better that the hair is not freshly washed, since it is less manageable.
• Using the handle of a thin comb, divide your hair and place your hairline on one side.
• Tease the hair on the back of your head with the comb to get more volume there.
• Tame any frizz at the back of your hair and pin it through the mid-lengths.
• Pull out the front locks of your hair in front of your ears. You may slightly shift the front locks upwards for a more retro look.
• Fixate the hairstyle with some hairspray. 

You are done and looking gorgeous like a diva from the 60s!

Be scorching hot at parties this summer

With Mumbai summer refusing to bow out, we are left to deal with a rather long stint of heat and humidity.

But are you letting it affect your social life, or rather, 'look'? Here are a few tips to keep in mind when stepping out for a party this summer...

Keep it simple

Beauty consultant Manasi Bhakade states, "Always begin day makeup with a sunblock (at least SPF 30), followed by a light oil-free foundation or BB/CC cream. Shadow and mascara on your eyes and a nourishing lip tint later, you are good to face the day." According to senior makeup artiste Sonic Sarwate, one should choose makeup that blends well with the skin and doesn't feel heavy.

Use concealers

Dr Geeta Oberoi, dermatologist, says, "Use mineral-based makeup and keep your base to a minimum. Rather than using heavy foundation, use concealers to get a flawless face."

Do a double cleansing

Removing makeup is a must before you hit the sack. "Do a double cleansing procedure to unclog pores — a cleanser followed by medicated face wash," says Dr Oberoi. If you have oily skin, do not work your skin too much because it will end up making your skin more oily.

Close pores

You must use an alcohol-free toner after every wash to close open pores.

If you sweat a lot...

"Use lotions containing aluminium chlorohydrate. It works as an antiperspirant. However, in some cases, it can cause skin irritation. So, ask your dermatologist first," Dr Oberoi explains.

Use the right makeup

Dr Sama Rais, dermatologist and cosmetologist, advises using makeup that is 'non-comedogenic' or 'non-acnegenic' — it won't clog pores or cause pimples.

Home remedies

Dr Poonam Wadhwani, cosmetic dermatologist, suggests, "Wear dark colours that hide sweat patches. For dark circles, try home remedies like applying cool tea bags on the eyes for 15 minutes or applying cucumber juice and potato juice."

Get this look

- Use a concealer and then apply a hydrating base that matches your skin tone.

- Use a light-brown or coral-toned blush.

- Apply highlighter on your brow bone, cheeks and in the inner corner of your eyes.

- A warm eye-shadow will enlarge and brighten your peepers.

- Line your eyes with smudge-proof kohl.

- Curl your lashes; apply a coat of mascara.

- Now apply a bright lipstick.

Dramatic Winged Eyeliner

We all know that there are many ways and techniques to put your eyeliner on. I, personally, love experimenting and I am almost never wearing my eyeliner the same way. Mainly because my hand would decide to go in another direction and it’s always different, just a little bit.

So, let’s get started! Grab your eyeliner and let’s acquire this dramatic effect!

Hope You like it ^_^ ! 

How to Make The Perfect Eyeliner

Today we will show you how to perfect the eyeliner in order to get that sexy look 

As you can see, in the tutorial picture we already have our eye shadows applied, but if you wish you can put them on afterwards and repeat the eyeliner – it depends on your own technique. If you are unsure of your ability to put on eyeliner, I would suggest you to apply the shades later, because there will be a lot of cotton bud usage!

So, as a start, you start your eyeliner from the corner of the eye, making the cat eye twist first. Then you make another line, connecting your upper and lower lid. When you are done with that, all you need to do is fill the uncolored area between the two lines and you are done!
