Here Are The No-Heat Hair Straightening Techniques

Straight hair is pretty aesthetic for us all. After actresses flaunting pin straight hair, we all pulled out our straighteners and got into work. However, subjecting your hair continuously to the heat is not a good idea at all. Your hair will become brittle, dry and is more prone to breakage than usual. Not to mention hair fall and thinning of hair. Instead, here are some tips for you to straighten your hair naturally without heat. These hair straightening tips may not achieve the pin straight look you get with the iron but its fairly straight.

Curlers can help a lot if you wanna straighten and style it without any damage. It is one of the famous hair straightening technique. After you shower, remove any tangles from your hair, apply some leave-in conditioner if your hair is too frizzy. Then take your hair in sections, comb them smoothly and now roll them using the curlers. Opt for bigger curlers for less waves. Make sure your hair is wet during this process. Let it be there for few hours, until the hair dries and ta da! There you go, voluminous, glossy, straight hair. (BUY HERE)

This is another useful technique to have soft and manageable hair. After your shower, when the hair is still wet, comb it, see that there aren’t any tangles, use any heavy conditioner or you can use a little bit of coconut or olive oil. Then part your hair into two sections and tie them with elastics. Basically pigtails. After that add elastics to your entire hair, leaving an inch of gap. Leave the hair in this way overnight. Remove the elastics in the morning. However, make sure you aren’t fastening the elastics too tight, for they will create waves in the hair.

Makeup And Outfit Tips For The Brides

Wedding. Probably the grandest event in a girl’s life. And when it is such massive event, why won’t any girl sulk around? She will try to make her D-day the best because that’s one memory she will be carrying down her entire life. So if you’re one of those girls who’s going to get married soon, here are some useful tips regarding your look on your big day!

1. Start “Clear”

Ground rule for makeup, start clear. Which means, start with clear skin. Keep the skin healthy, free of acne and dark spots and for that, along with applying sunscreen and moisturizer every day without skipping, eat healthy. If you’re a foodie, it’s gonna be hard but you need to have control on the junk food that you eat. Also, limit the sugar intake and control caffeine (it dehydrates you). Eat loads of berries, citrus foods, and lots of water. It’s important to be healthy inside out to have a clear skin. This will help you nail your bridal makeup. 

2. Get the basics right  

When you’ve successfully mastered the first step, i.e achieving clear skin, your next step should be getting the makeup that will make you look gorgeous on your big day. You don’t wanna spoil your bridal makeup, so start with the foundation. Get one according to your skin type. If you have oily skin, get a matte foundation and if you have dry skin, get a creamy one. Test them first and choose one that gives you high coverage. We’d recommend MAC Studio Fix foundation (normal to dry skin) and MAC studio sculpt( Dry skin). Get them here!

3. Lips and eyes

Give those expressive eyes a makeover! Banish any bags or under eye circles and then you can turn into a goddess! Usually Indians have their wedding outfits with a lot of bling so better not to go with glitter because it will not only look overboard but tacky too (sorry!). Use a glossy eye shadow instead for that shiny finish. Nyx hot singles or Full throttle palette gives that perfect glossy look. And when it comes to lipstick, you gotta admit nothing beats MAC’s Russian red (BUY HERE), which is like the perfect bridal lipstick. However, you can get the lipstick in other colors, depending upon your outfit.

4. Accessories

Ah, the accessories. The biggest beauty of the whole outfit is obviously, the nath. Get one that matches the rest of the jewelry and make sure you keep your wedding outfit in mind while shopping jewelry. If your wedding outfit is pretty heavy with motifs and stuff, then go easy on the jewelry. If you’re not the one that’s not so cool with the traditional jewelry, you can get the stuff customized, use semi precious pearls and jewels like rubies and emeralds to create your own bridal jewelry.

5. Hair

Obviously, hair is the factor that plays a key role. Use homemade remedies and hair spa to get the shiny and smooth hair. Depending upon the outfit and whole look, ask your stylist to do your hair and please don’t get into any extreme haircuts anywhere near your wedding. If you’re feeling extra fancy, get those beautiful hair accessories and pins to glorify mane. After all, you have all the rights to, it’s your wedding day!

Makeup Tips for Girls with Glasses

Glasses are in rave these days. Agreed. Specially after the release of ‘Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani’, nerd became the new cool after she sported the thick framed glasses in the movie. Glasses are cool alright, but applying makeup in them, is not. And if you are the genuine glass-wearing girl with high power, it’s a huge bummer and we know the struggle really well. So here are some tips for you, which help you do your makeup flawlessly!

1. Play with bold lips

The reason why I’m starting with lips is, they will instantly brighten up your whole look, even if you leave your eyes bare when you’re feeling lazy to apply any makeup. So, be brave and play with bold lips like deep berry or wine shade lipsticks and if you’re medium to fair skin, hot pink lips are your jam. If you love glossy lips, don’t shy away! And if you’re looking for some matte or creamy lipsticks that serves the purpose, you can go with Revlon, which has got some brilliant wine shades and Nyx, ofcourse, rocks at the berry-burgundy shades! Get them here.

2. Let the eyes do the talking

Just because you’ve got some thick frame of glasses sitting on the bridge of your nose, doesn’t mean you can’t so the eye makeup. First thing, get big frames so you’ll have more room to work and next, play bold here as well. Don’t have to go along with the plain black eye liner. Use colors like navy blue, brown and learn to play with them. Curl your lashes before applying mascara. This will keep them away from getting in contact with glasses. Smokey eye will look smoking hot, choose some deeper shades of eye shadow to rock the look.

3. Frame frames you!

You know everything depends on the type of frame of the glasses right? So pay extra attention before choosing the frame of your glasses. Always make sure you’re getting a frame that compliments your face shape. Don’t shy away from bright colored frames, unless your workplace is quite professional and if you’re a college-going girl, what stops you? Go gaga!

4. Stick to matte

Unless you have really really and really dry skin, always stick to matte foundation. Because well, if you are using a creamy one, after few hours, it’s gonna get oily and your glasses will start sliding off constantly, which is quite annoying. In the case of matte ones, this won’t happen much. Also, choose a concealer that is a shade lighter than your skin to hide your dark circles.

5. Be healthy inside out

Always check the expiry date of products, specially your eye makeup because infection are quite often and they are a hot mess. Always drink loads of water to keep yourself hydrated and this will flush the toxins out of your body. Banish the dark circles away because the glasses will cast a shadow, which will highlight your dark circles and make you look sick.

6. Experiment with colors

And this time, we talk about hair. Don’t be a plain jane! Try different haircuts and colors. A feathered cut with some dark brown highlights and bangs may be? You see haircuts play a major role in getting the look right so head out for the nearest salon!

Fashion Lessons we need to learn from Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone won hearts with her acting skills in movies like ‘Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’, her goofy moments with beau Ranvir Singh, her courage when she talked about depression and mental health and now winning hearts by unleashing her inner fashionista. Be it a casual interview or a high-end award party, she’s rocking it. And here are the 5 fashion lessons Deepika gave us overtime.

1. Thigh-high slits

Man! She just rocked them. And she knows that she can rock them and that is why, she’s totally obsessed with them. I mean look at these pictures of her, she looks like a ethereal goddess. What’s more? She always keeps tabs on her accessories and makeup and if you can see, she follows ‘Minimal is the key’ rule. So girls, take notes as of how you can look like a vision in thigh high slits with minimal accessories and makeup and don’t forget to put on your highest heels!

2. Pant Suits

Look at these pant suits. Firstly, they are chic looking and secondly, they make you look confident. You can easily don them for any meetings or formal occasions and just like Deepika, rock them with the sleek parted hair or a ponytail. You can experiment in different colors and patterns or just go for a monochrome look. Either ways, wear a bright lipstick and a hint of mascara and you’re ready to slay, girl.

3. Smokey eyes and nude lips

Deepika can pull off any look very easily but this smokey-eye-nude-lippie is her signature thing. She heavily mascaras her eye lashes and use kohl, liner and dark eye shadow to create the perfect smokey eye here! And who can forget her look in the ivory and emerald outfit at the IIFA awards which garnered a lot of attention. Just like we mentioned earlier, Deepika always seems to follow the ‘minimal is the key’ rule, so she always leaves the lips nude when she goes heavy with eyes.

4. Sarees and all that glam

Remember when she wore a sari to the Cannes film festival and flaunted the Indian culture proudly? Deepika had admitted many times that she would choose a sari over a gown and we’re glad that she’s a hardcore desi by heart. She always pairs her sari with beautiful earrings that intensifies her glory! Also, she always plays around dark and bold colors when she is in sari and she goes almost bare eyed or with just the right amount of mascara and liner.

5. Her braids, waves and her glasses

Deepika has this certain knack of choosing what looks best on her! We rarely see her in pin-straight hair. She loves the waves and we love those waves on her. She also does these cutesy braids and we particularly love that fishtail braid from cocktail. On the top of all this, Deepika rocks those thick framed glasses like a pro and no wonder Vogue chose her as their brand ambassador of eye-wear and of course, she gave us all the ‘Nerd goals’ by being a gorgeous Naina Talwar from YJHD. 

Keep killin’ it, Deepika!

 

Makeup Tips For All The Dry-skinned Beauties

Dry skin, one of the most irritating things ever! And if you are a makeup lover on the top of it, you’ll know all the struggles and all the frustrations. The cakey and cracks in the foundation is not so attractive you know. Only god knows all those bucks we let flow in our attempt to get the right product but failed epically.  And because we relate to all the girls with dry skin on a spiritual level, we decided to dig around some beauty tips for all the dry skinned beauties. Here you go! Thank us later.

1. Using natural oils as Primer

First rule, Never skip primer. If you have dry skin, then primer must be viewed as something holy. It will not only smoothen out the surface and helps the foundation glide smoothly on the skin but also avoids the drying out of the skin from the foundation. If you are not keen into spending a bomb on things, we suggest you to use oils like Argan oil or coconut oil as primer because they serve the purpose just as good. Products like Bio oil are a wiser choice, because they will repair the dryness and dullness from inside.

2. Go for everything that is Creamy

If you have dry skin, opt for creamy products rather than matte ones. Be it lipstick or foundation or any other product! Matte ones look so classy. We agree. But darling, they aren’t your cup of tea. They will dry out the moisture of your skin and make your skin cracked and when it comes to lips, matte ones settle into fine lines. And yikes, we do not want that at all.

3. Take good care of your skin

You know, no matter how much you try to prevent dryness through makeup, won’t be possible. You should take good care of your skin. And the golden rules include removing makeup at the end of the day, not using the expired products, not using any harsh chemicals or skipping sunscreen. Always follow the cleanse, tone and moisturize rule. And stress on the moisturizing part! Also, avoid those skin scaldingly hot showers and baths. They strip natural oils from your skin. Instead, stick to warm water.

  1. Eat Healthy

Like they say, you are what you eat. Concentrate and watch what you eat. Limit the pizzas, burgers and french fries. Go for healthy foods like broccoli, carrots, berries, citrus fruits and oatmeals as much as you can because they contain antioxidants that will help you to save your skin( pun not at all intended!) Make sure you get enough amount of Vitamin C. That will help you with having a glorious skin as well. Drink loads of water. Keep yourself hydrated in order to avoid any dryness and dullness.

5. And something extra

A little something can go a long long way. Treat your skin with something nice. Like rubbing those vitamin e capsules to drive away any dullness. Whip up some home remedies and trust us, these will work wonders. Honey is your best friend. Apply honey regularly to keep the skin soft and supple. If you love your skin, it will love you right back!
