4 Hot steps to make your lip make up radiant!

In this article I have listed out 4 quick steps on how to apply a complete lip make up at any time of the day as a pro!

Step 1:  Apply a lip balm all over the lips before applying lip stick to protect your lips. This will lay a base for a perfect beautiful finish!

Step 2:  Use the lip liner to outline the upper and the lower lip. This will help you to keep the lip stick in place for a longer time.

       Tip: Do not use a darker shade of a lip liner than your lipstick color. Use a neutral or a        matching lip stick color.

Step 3: Apply the choice of the lip stick to the lips. You will have a much nicer and easiness if you use a lip brush to apply the lip stick.   Begin from the outer corners of the lip and gradually apply to the middle.

Step 4: For a stylish finish apply a lip gloss to the center of the lips and shade it to the corners a little to have glamour’s lips!

A Makeover at home… Hair Care

Continuing with trying to have a new look at home before a date/special occasion, this article will describe few tips/ways to do a simple hair treatment at home which of course can be also used for regular days.

My hair falls to the category of silky and somebody may call it as a straight hair. It gets dirty often due to the dust as I travel day to day by public transport to a crowded area where people move around a lot. Therefore I normally wash my hair three times a week. But remember it was said by the professional hair dressers that only to shampoo your hair after 48 hours from the last time unless the using shampoo is recommended by a professional as a daily used shampoo. However I recommend not shampooing your hair before 48 hours from the time last washed.

But I do wash my hair if a major hair crisis occurs but then I use only the conditioner.

After applying the shampoo, don’t rinse off immediately. Instead message the scalp from the finger tips in round shapes for 3 minutes (this will depend on the hair condition and the using shampoo quality), but never scratch from nails. And then rinse with cool to hot water. But remember, never to use too hot water.

·         Tip: if your hair is colored, then use a color protection shampoo and a conditioner for the best results!

My hair is slightly colored with darkest brown and without using a color protection shampoo the color got invisible in few days.

Once in a week it is better if you could apply a hair mask as a special treatment. (Please chose a good hair mask) apply the mask to wet hair. Comb it from the root of the hair to the tips and leave it for 5 minutes. Then rinse off thoroughly.

As the next step apply a good suitable conditioner (for best use I recommend to use the conditioner from same brand as the shampoo you used) to wet hair again from root to the tips of hair but not to the scalp after shampooing and leave it for few minutes. Then rinse it off fully.

·         Tip: Never comb wet hair as it’s fragile.

As my final step I use my hair dryer to dry my hair, comb it using a round brush (differs with the type of hair) and apply a leave-in spray for a stylish finish!

·         Tip: Round brushes are good for  a hair with a great volume.

A Makeover at home…A Pedicure

Normally when I have a date or a special occasion to attend a day before I do a complete makeover at home not to mention a total clean up for my whole body trying out a new fresh look to have the best look.

Starting from a pedicure I first pour a relaxing liquid gel (or can use a shampoo) in to a basin with half full of warm (as much as you can put your feet inside) water. After making the bubbles come up I put my feet into the water basin and cover them with the bubbles.

Making sure my feet are wet and relaxed, after about 5-10 minutes using a foot file I rub my ankles till the small crack lines are disappeared if there are any. And then with a pumice stone (these are available in the market with one side of the tool having a brush and the other side having the stone), I clean my toe nails (using the brush) and feet (using the stone) in round shapes. After I get satisfied assuring my feet are now cleaned well (had removed the dead skin) I take my feet out of the basin and wash them again with warm water. Then I put on a foot scrub in to both feet and after leaving it to dry for 5 minutes I message in round shapes from finger tips and rinse it off.

Then using my towel (I recommend to use a small towel as a face towel to use separately for cleaning feet) I clean my feet and apply my soothing foot cream (I recommend a Icy foot cream), which I love out of all my creams as it makes my feet very cool and relaxed.

Finally I come to the part which I love most. Taking the base coat out of my nail polish stock I apply on all my toe nails. Then choosing my favorite nail polish (perhaps to match with the dress I am going to wear the following day?) I apply it evenly on top of the base coat. Keeping it 3-5 minutes to dry it completely I use the top coat for a fashionable complete finish!

Let’s discuss about a clean-up, facial tips about in upcoming articles.
