BEAUTY UNMASKED

The most beautiful face is always the face of the peaceful mind....

Does it ever cross your mind that you can micro-manage your skin concerns with a patchwork of mask for each zone of your face?

I examine the skin on my face and I’m sure most of us find that there are various skin issues like open pores, on cheeks, whiteheads, blackheads, and a dry T zone perhaps, and the discoloration on the forehead and around the mouth. So I was figuring out how is that even possible that one single mask can be used to address all the skin issues.

This is when multi-masking fits in as a one-step solution to take multiple concerns of your facial skin.

WHAT IS MULTI MASK

Applying different types of masks on different zones of our face according to dry and oily areas or to reduce discoloration or tan.

WHY MULTI-MASK

According to dermatologists, the distribution of sweat and oil glands differs from one portion of the face to another, even for the same person. Some people have combination skin like an oily T zone and dry cheeks.

So if they use a drying mask made of fullers’ earth for oil control all over the face the dry areas will go more dry and flaky. Hence it is better to apply a drying mask to the oily areas of the face, while a moisturizing mask works better for the dry areas.

HOW TO SELECT A MASK?

Not sure about the skin type of your face? Identify them by understanding the dry, oil, and sensitive patches. Applying five different masks on your face, almost like a painting. Collage will be worth your time.

WHAT SUITS WHERE?

Let’s find out. I used images to explain it in a better way with an amazing Nordic filter effect.

FOR EYES AREA

Masks with Vit C and K are good for the delicate skin around the eyes. Also, herbal formulations that cucumbers have will help soften fine lines.

FOR CHEEKS

For oily skin, opt for a mask with glycolic or salicylic acid. For dry skin collagen is effective. Also, aloe vera works well for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

FOR T-ZONE

The section on your face over the eyebrows and the nose tend to get very oily. Apply an oil-absorbing mask that has glycolic acid. Alternatively, fullers earth is a great option.

FOR MOUTH AND NECK

Apply brightening formulations around the mouth, up to the neck to even out your skin tone. A coffee and a honey scrub or a combination of cucumber and papaya can be prepared at home.

FOR THE NATURAL GLOW

After applying the various masks, keep them on for 15 min and relax. wash your face, pat dry and finish by applying a moisturizer suitable to your skin type.

Have a happy and glowing skin folks!

Stay Healthy. Keep glowing

HAIR WARS: TOP KNOT V/S RETRO PIN UP SAILOR

Life is too short to have Boring Hair…

Hair wars are one of my favourite posts but I rarely do it as tutorial for my blog. It’s really hard to choose from two different and beautiful hairstyles. No trust me! Its really very indurate for me to opt one and that is the reason it took me so long to post something like this.

So here it is, and why not experiment different styles to suit your face type, I always love trying that.

In this post I am trying to create two very different hair do’s one is Top Knot and the other one is Retro Pin Up Sailor.

Let’s get started :

WHAT YOU NEED: Comb// Bobby pins// Hair doughnut//Hair shining serum// dryer//hair spray

TOP KNOT

Top knot also known as Sock not; this hair do is a classic and characterised by hair piled high on the head. It can be messy or perfectly styled. To achieve this look:

  1. Tie your hair into ponytail on the crown of your hair head
  2. Take doughnut and slide it all the way around your ponytail to where it rests.
  3. Fan your hair evenly around doughnut. Swoop hair around the doughnut and pin it underneath. Use bobby pins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_pin
  4. If you like bun to be messy or to have unstructured look, you can pull out some strands from the side and tease at the bun to loosen it.

RETRO PIN -UP SAILOR

This is the early pin-up style. With one half of the hair pinned up and the other half left down. It’s the perfect hairdo for retro monic star look in theme parties, halloween or just sailing around. To achieve this look;

  1. Start out by prepping your hair. Add some products to add texture and shine for lustrous look( well I didn’t used any at the time of styling my hair)
  2. Follow it up with simple blow-dry to smoothens the strands. Part the hair in the centre.
  3. Starting from one side, gather the front section from the ear to your parting and smooth it so the hairline is bump free.
  4. Twist several times upwards towards parting.
  5. Secure the hair along the line of the twist with several bobby pins to anchor the twist in place.
  6. Repeat it on other side too.
  7. Use curling tong (optional) or keep them straight(I opt for this). Mist with hair spray to hold the look for long and lustrous look.

No matter whether a Top knot or Retro Pin -up Sailor you choose , both are effortlessly stylish.

Drop a message for your favourite look and for trying too:)

Thank you so much for reading!

Happy hair styling!!

PINK IT UP!

“The smile upon my lips,

It will surely never die

As I’m waiting here for you

until you’re by my side.” 

― Freida Martinez

Hi, I have been longing to do this tutorial for Pink lips, but the only problem was, I was unable to find the right shade. I was looking for the bright pink tone the ones you can wear in summer lunches and outings with your friends. Well..there were numerous shades of pink and you know I had this one in my mind and finally, I found it! This pink is one of my favorites but for me, it was really hard to find the exact one.

BRIGHT PINK LIPS

But this time I got it right and couldn’t resist myself to pen down the tutorial for the PINK LIPS by one of my favorite shade.

Let’s start this:

So the most important thing is the look demands a clean base, in order to highlight bright pink lips.

FACE

  • TONER
  • EXFOLIATE
  • FOUNDATION & CONCEALER
  1. So, prep your skin by exfoliating it with a mild face scrub, which I already did.
  2. Follow with toner, hydrating serum, or aloe vera gel( I used aloe vera) and moisturize it thoroughly.
  3. Use a liquid foundation for the dewy face with a sponge on the face and neck.
  4. Use concealer under eyes with a brush or sponge to open up your eyes and cover dark circles if any.

EYES

  • PRIMER
  • EYSHADOW PALETTE
  • SHIMMERING EYESHADOW
  • MASCARA
  • KIT
  • EYEBROW CORRECTOR
  1. Apply eye primer before doing anything on the eyes.
  2. Sweep a shimmering eyeshadow across your eyelids.
  3. Apply two coats of mascara on upper and lower lashes.
  4. Fill in your brows with an eyebrow pencil.

CHEEKS

  • PINK BLUSH
  • PINK BLUSH
  • BLUSHED CHEEKS
  1. Apply Pink Blush on the apple of your cheeks in upward strokes.
  2. Dust a little sparkling powder above your cheekbones.

LIPS

  • LIP BAM
  • DAB OFF
  • LIP PENCIL
  • APPLICATION
  • BRIGHT PINK LIPS

Lips are the main focus of this look

  1. Prep with a lip balm, leave on for a minute, and dab off with a tissue.
  2. Line with bright pink lips pencil.
  3. Fill in matte lip color. I applied directly, you can use a brush if you want and Voila!!

Make a side parting and leave your hair open

I always try to keep my content simple and easy to read so that my readers can get the whole point.

I hope you like the look, do comment in the comment section if you like this and surely give it a shot before winter starts.

Thank you for reading this!

Be safe and Enjoy!

NEPHOPHILE

“I know that I shall meet my fate somewhere among the clouds above; those that I fight I do not hate, those that I guard I do not love.” 

― W.B. Yeats

I don’t know when I am finally going to learn how to express my inner feelings and what exactly to write when I discern sometimes. I don’t know whether this world loves to read what I feel or they admire their own thinking. But still, I want to exhibit my inmost virtues. Being a big nature lover, I admire everything which is natural or has something to do with nature. Among my various favorite one of my favorite activities out to watch the clouds, or they are watching me? I call myself a Nephophile, a good one, who always creates something or the other watching her first love “the clouds”.

I don’t know since childhood I have this habit of watching clouds for hours, watching them come together and then separates only to never come back again! but they left a beautiful image behind them, these images are nothing but those little temptations of your life you are waiting to happen, but they rarely come to reality at least for me. I pictured castles, I pictured myself on top of the tip of the cloud dancing and watching the world from the above, hopping and jumping from one cloud patch to another without falling down, I pictured my favorite unicorn, I pictured names of those who are never going to be mine.

I pictured everything which I can never have on earth here. that’s why the cloud is my favorite place to fulfill all my aspirations, my likings, my inspiration to imagine and create more and more. I am absolutely pro now if you ask me I can just tell what’s in the cloud. I think that’s my Superpower!!

Clouds fascinate me so much that sometimes I can imagine life beyond them. Yes, there is!layer by layer.., don’t ever think I am someone seeing things or mad or whatever..ha. I can see the world beyond those beautiful, soft, fluffy snowy bundles going here and there up above, sometimes they are greyish – white, sometimes they are white , sometimes they are clear blue, sometime they are purple or as melted gold, with a hint of orange in it. They can be any colour, they have their own moods just like us.

But you know what my favourite are dark blue clouds just before pour. dark blue clouds full of rain water always bring hope and destruction altogether. They are moving so fast as they are rushing to get as much water they can bring to let it out, its the same hustle which I have before bursting out in tears a loud with a lot of noise and flash same as the darkest of the cloud with those thunderstorms accompanying them. Like some true friend which never fails to stand by your side when you need them most , I never had one so clouds are always be my friend whenever I look up to they are there.

Those dark blue clouds turn me into some poetess, sometimes. I converted into some hard-hitting love story protagonist waiting for her lover who is going to emerge from the burst of the clouds watching them restless without a blink with tears flowing down on my freckled cheeks.

I never want to miss clouds, I want to own them, I want to be friends with them again and again and forever, I watch them from inside, then I stare at them from my window like a distraught lover and then follow them from every open space of my small house but I am waiting for the day to chase them on the roads, in the fields over the mountains, on the green grass, ignoring everyone around me just keeping my eyes on them like there is nothing else in the world except them and one fine day find the place from where rainbow with all its beautiful colours make its way into them and give them absolutely new meaning and make them as beautiful as never before. waiting for that day! Someday somewhere I will find it and will never stop chasing them till my last breath.

Keep chasing your piece of cloud !!

CUTE PONYTAIL WAVY VIBES

“That’s No Ordinary Girl” 

― B.J. Neblett

Try this amazing two-sided wavy ponytail that gives cute yet sultry vibe

Whenever it comes to styling my hair ponytails are always on top of my list. Because with them I can experiment endlessly and that too without going any wrong. This one hairdo related to ponytails. The style I am going to try is one of my favorite and goes with all my plans, whether I am going for any corporate event, a date night, or to a night out with my friends, this one hairdo always rocks!! But here is a twist which I am going to add by adding soft waves to it.

I am going to wear my ponytail with middle parting and lot of soft waves.

So without wasting any more ,lines and time let’s get started:

WHAT DO WE NEED

Volumizing shampoo and Conditioner, texturizing spray, curling iron, hair fixing spray, rubber band(elastic), hold, and shine spray

HOW DO WE DO IT

  • 2
  • 3
  • 4
  • 5
  • 6
  • 7
  • 8
  • 9
  1. Start by washing your hair with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner
  2. Apply texturizing spray to towel-dried hair, scrunch and let it dry
  3. Apply Argan oil or some heat protecting spray,( I used Argan oil as it is safe and more natural)
  4. Divide your hair into two sections
  5. Wrap each section of hair around the barrel, leave few. inches at the end
  6. Lightly tease your hair out once you’re done
  7. Part your hair from the middle and secure each side with a rubber band
  8. Take a thin section of hair from the base of your ponytail and wrap it around the band
