4. Compact Powder
The compact powder settles up your makeup and adds an extra glow to your face. It comes to rescue when you feel lazy to apply any creams or foundation to your face. Just a bit of compact powder and you are ready to go. It also prevents sweat and soaks up oiliness on your face. Choose a compact powder according to your skin tone.

Lift your upper lid with one hand and look down into a mirror as you apply with your other hand. Black, brown, blue, turquoise and Green are widely used shades, you can experiment with different colors.
6. Mascara
Eyelashes add to the beauty of your eyes and mascara helps to make your eyelashes look prettier. It gives volume to your lashes and also makes your lashes look longer. Mascara curls your lashes giving them a proper shape. Start applying your mascara from the roots to the tips of your lashes. One or two coat of a good mascara would be sufficient for your eyes.
If in case you have very short lashes or have less volume then you can apply three to four coats of mascara. Make sure you don’t over apply your mascara as it will thicken your lashes and will be difficult to remove it.
7. Eyebrow Pencils
An eyebrow is what sharpens your face features. Eyebrow pencil can do wonder to your thin looking brows by giving it perfect shape and volume. Gently apply strokes to spare spots. Blend it with your fingers or spoolie or an eyebrow brush.

Choose a lip balm with a subtle color that matches best to your skin tone. Apply it repeatedly after few hours or whenever you require.
9. Lipstick
Since decades lipstick has remained a star makeup product for the majority of women. Add color to the lips, you can choose any kind of color of like. The sky is the limit when it comes to lipstick shades. For beginners, we would suggest choosing a neutral or nude color which best suits your skin tone. Keep darker shades for parties or outings. As like eyeliners, there are different kinds in lipstick too, like matte, glossy, crayons, liquid, and many more.
Before applying lipsticks you can apply lip liners for defining your lip lines. Lip Liners eases the application of lipstick. Outline your lip lines with the matching lipstick shade. After you are done with that start applying lipstick from the middle of the lips and spread it to the outer corner and mix it up. One or two coat of good quality lipstick is sufficient.
10. Blush
Blush highlights your cheeks and completes your makeup look. It makes your cheeks prettier. As a beginner try applying lighter shades just for a pop of color on cheeks. Once you master the art of using blush you can try different color variants for blush.
If you’re using a powder, use a fluffy brush and dab into the blush and then tap it to remove excess. Apply the blush to your cheeks and blend it well. Use a senate brush to blend blush for a clean look.
11. Remove Your Make Up Before Sleep
When you don’t remove make up before sleeping, it leads to the following things:
- You are letting the bacteria from the mascara and eyeliner to enter your eyes, and cause irritation and damage. It can also further lead to eye damage.
- Inflammation in the skin leading to redness and dryness.
- The lips will get further chapped and dry, especially in the winter.
- The make-up particles can also form cysts in form of acne, and clog old pores, blocking the skin’s ability to refresh and strengthen cells.
- It can lead to the formation of blackheads
Fashion
12.“Not too big, not too small, not too hot, not too cool, just perfect” exclaimed Goldilocks
Balance is essential in Fashion. If you are wearing a light blue cardigan, pair it with dark denim to maintain the rule of contrast. A long maxi can be accessorized with a short jacket ending above with the belly-button. Don’t wear two prints together, unless you are Sonam Kapoor in Khoobsurat (she can make anything work). Printed palazzo with a plain vest or the opposite works.
13.The mirror is your best friend if you let it be
Take a good look at your body and then, style it accordingly. For those of you who have a big bust, wear V- necks. If your fat is accumulated on the thighs, long skirts might be a good option as they won’t make your legs look as widespread as the jeans might. Women with great collarbones and smaller breasts can go for sweetheart neckline.
14. Your hair is 80% of your selfie
Change your hairstyle at least once in two years. Just adding fringes or growing them out into a long-swept French braid can completely transform your look.
15. A good chef writes her secret recipes for later use.
On some days, the same striped shirt will look phenomenal because of the new coral gloss you added. Maybe the turquoise dress is a new outfit altogether, when paired with the fishnet stockings. Remember the Good- Look days for later use and repetition.
16. Design your wardrobe essentials
A classic blue mom jean, a little black dress, some chunky earrings, and bold red stilettos are some must haves I can think of right now. There are some pieces which go with multiple outfits, in varied occasions. Identify such multi-purpose items and don’t compromise on their quality, for they will serve you years.
Hair
17. Trim the Tresses
Your hair needs to be trimmed every six months so as to get rid of those dead ends. Split ends not only look ugly, they contribute to hair damage.
18.Style for the Hair is a nightmare dressed like a daydream
Hair straightening, dyes, bleaching, and any other heat product might make you look glamourous temporarily, but in the long run it is making your hair dry and brittle. We know it is difficult to abandon them forever, but save them for special occasions.
19. Tangle from the top? Absolutely not!
Contrary to what most of us practice, de-tangling the hair from the bottom is actually the right way of combing your hair. De-tangling from the top involves lot of pulling and aggression, which can cause breakage.
20. Comfort wear, comfort hair.
Just like our bodies, our hair also needs to breathe. Give them a break from the too tight ponytails and buns. Wear them down, especially while going to sleep.
21. T-shirt over Towel
It is a widely accepted myth that towels must be used after hair wash, a soft old cotton t-shirt is a much better choice for your hair.
Health and Hygiene
22. H20 is your best hoe
Water is the only elixir you need. And here is why:
- It helps your body expel toxins more efficiently and gives your skin a radiant glow.
- It also prevents aging and keeps your skin supple.
- For those who have brittle nails, it means their body is dehydrated. Regular consummation of water will strengthen them.
- Reduces puffiness around the eyes.
23. Caring is committing unconditionally
Just like your body needs three meals a day to function properly; it needs exercise, skin and hair care routine, among other practices for it to maintain its standards. You can’t be moody and expect flawless results. Whatever you plan, work that plan consistently.
24. Body without Boundaries
It is sometimes easy to forget, especially in a quick shower, that our body is not restricted to our arms and legs. Make sure you wash your belly-button, the area behind your ears, back of your things and in between of your toes. Overall cleanliness, leads to holistic beauty.
25. Eat to Live, don’t Live to Eat
Food has become a luxury, a social status and worse, a form of escapism. Quit the Maida and the sugar. Needless to say, include as many fruits and vegetables in your meals as possible. While eating, don’t consume any other form of entertainment: it leads to overeating.
