Its time to look beautiful everyday!


The sun is back in its full glory, bringing with it a great release from the dryness winters brought to our skin. However, summers have their own set of hazards but by employing some measures you can have yourself looking beautiful as ever, every moment of everyday!

Well the first thing that enters our mind when we think of summers is ‘water’, be it the sea or the pool and if you spend too much time in it without taking care, you are likely to damage your skin and hair in more ways than you know. So the first rule is to keep your skin covered in a sun screen every time you enter the waters. You must massage your body well with it to make sure it seeps in your skin pores. This will help chemicals and other destructive elements present in water from affecting your skin.

Another important thing you need to take care of during summers is your make-up. The heat of the sun can easily melt your make-up so make sure you do not cover your face with layers of foundation during summers. So the rule of the thumb is to apply as little make-up as possible and only stick to natural shades to look naturally beautiful in your own skin. Some of these shades include nude earthen colors, plum, shimmers and glosses.

Skin pores already tend to get blocked by the sweat and dust particles during hot days and a layer of makeup can only make it worse. If you think you desperately need something to hide your imperfections, use a cream-based foundation in very little quantities and dab it with a light foundation powder so that the cream gets locked. You can also use a tinted moisturizer if you think using a foundation might not be a bright idea during summers. It works equally well in hiding small flaws on the face.

Dark eye make-up should also be avoided on all occasions.This is so because the moment it catches the heat, you will start looking like a raccoon when great makeup smudges around your eyes. Choose bronzer for evening and blush anytime to create an image of sun-kissed cheeks. The best way to escape this it to use waterproof make-up during the hot summer months, i.e. if applying make-up is a must. Ideally you should avoid it as much as you can.

Get your hands and legs cleaned and dare to use some bold colors on them. This will add to the fun element that summers bring with them.

So here we are with some basic tips telling you how to look your natural best during summers. Keep reading to catch up with more beauty tips on summers.

Beauty at and after 40s


You should apply your makeup in a way that helps to lift your facial appearance, soften any lines and wrinkles and compliments your innate mature beauty to give you a livelier and younger appearance.. Play around with samples to see which ones offer the best coverage, but still maintaining a light weight and flawless application. Don’t shy away from colour on the eyes, cheeks and lips.

The tips to get you shimmering:

• Apply a concealer that is somewhat lighter than you foundation and apply to areas of concern, such as dark circles, around the corners of the nose and any blemishes you may have.

• Using your light weight mineral foundation, brush across the face until the preferred coverage is achieved. You can include a setting powder at this stage for an airbrushed finish.

• For the eyes, opt soft subtle shades, but be watchful not to go too soft with colour as this can make you look washed out. Select matte colors for a day look such a creams, soft browns, pinks and even lilacs, shimmers can accentuate wrinkles, but at the same time, if applied appropriately for an evening look, can give your eyes an instant young-looking appearance.

• Do groom those brows regularly. Brush brow hairs with a brow brush and fill in any gaps with a soft black or soft brown brow liner.

• Use a soft colour black or brown liner, apply to the top lid as close to the lash line as feasible. If you need to apply liner to the bottom lid, then don’t overdo it. One stroke is all you need.

• Apply three coats of soft black or brown mascara to the top lashes, starting as close to the lash line as feasible. If you can do without applying mascara to the bottom lashes, then don’t do it.

• A bronzer comes highly suggested at this age. pick one that won’t make you look fake or orangey. Apply easily to the forehead, cheeks nose and chin. You can omit blush at this stage and apply bronzer slightly darker to the cheeks and blend well.

• If you choose a blush, then opt for subtle tones with a slight shimmer such as soft pinks, soft reds and soft mauves. Mineral blush meets this criteria pretty well as the shimmer is natural and not artificial.
