YOUR FASHION FEAR BUSTED: PART II

FASHION IS WHAT YOU’RE OFFERED FOUR TIMES A YEAR BY DESIGNERS. AND STYLE IS WHAT YOU CHOOSE
LAUREN HUTTON

If you find yourself on the style sidelines thinking, “I could never pull that off,” then it’s time to get a new fashion mantra. I’ve rounded up sage words of wisdom that every fashion wallflower needs. This time again I am going to bust a few of your fashion fears. Knowingly that all my beautiful squad is full of confidence, brave to experiment but there are certain moments, where you are unsure about particular fashion piece. You won’t wear trousers cause you inherited your mother’s hips, you can’t wear boots,, you are too short, can’t put Hat as you think it’s plain silly. Am I looking good with this or it’s a total disaster? Such constant overthinking kills all the fun!!

Another part of FFB is here. So like the previous one, I am going to include three more fashion fears that need to be busted as soon as they can.

In this part, my discussion point will be :

Hats look Silly On Me. it’s not for everyone
High waist trouser add to my hips
Sheer tops look tacky

HATS LOOK SILLY ON ME, ITS NOT FOR EVERYONE
..

So if you are thinking of wearing hats, this crosses your mind most definitely, how effortlessly celebs pull off Sicilian Mafioso style hats on a red carpet. How amazingly Victoria Beckham managed to redefine contemporary British Chic look with her hat at royal events. You are not a singer or any WAG designer on the red carpet to pull the look and moreover, you think hats belong to such people. You might fear you look ridiculous striding into a cafe wearing a fedora. Noooo you will not! You can nail the hat look by finding the correct frame for your hat. No matter what is the shape of your face whether it’s Square, Long/Oval, Heart-shaped, or round.

YOU CAN DO IT AND HOW?

Keep your look casual. Pick a hat that suits your face type and wear it with a t-shirt. jeans or casual jacket, as I combined it with beige cami layered it with a denim shirt and dyed jeans. Try to keep this look absolutely casual to really sport that hat.

HIGH WAIST TROUSERS ADD TO MY HIPS
..

Those slinky Palazzo pants look irresistible swishing around celeb’s gorgeous gams, but your high-waisted pants highlight three curves where there ought to be just one. You think high-waisted pants are no friend to those with muffin tops and thunder thighs, but pick the right fabric and silhouette, and you could give any celeb a run for her money lol! while opting for high waist trousers fabric plays a really important role.

YOU CAN DO IT AND HOW?

Choose a flared cut, preferably with detail on the cuffs. Structured fabrics are better than clingy ones. Clingy and loose fabrics never create that silhouette for high waist trousers or pants. If the fabric chosen is not structured then it may spoil the whole look and you will end up looking improper and that will spoil all the fun of wearing such an amazing piece of cloth which we should try with different kinds of tops.

SHEER TOP LOOKS TACKY ON ME
..

You can’t resist the old-world glamour of pearl-coloured shirts and tops with a shell-like moonshine shimmer, but what on earth are you going to wear under them that won’t give you a tacky look or you feel it’s not going as per your personality and fashion style. Sometimes it’s experimented with a skin-coloured bra or lacy brightly coloured bra, but is that the right thing I am wearing? I hope I am not looking too loud! These kinds of questions usually pop while wearing such an audacious piece of garment.

YOU CAN DO IT AND HOW?

So you can nail it by adding more layers and wearing a fitted pretty corset under a loose sheer top. Or you can opt for a nice slip or camisole to wear inside your sheer top which just amalgamated into it but in a more understatedly sexy way. You can easily opt for different colour cami and slips but make sure they are very well fitted to keep the lookup in place.

So my folks by keeping these few simple tricks in mind you can expedite any garment piece or accessory you wish for, that too ending up like a diva. Do try these Fashion Faux Pas and come out shining like a pearl upon the ocean.

DO YOU HAVE THESE IN YOUR WARDROBE?

OUR LIFE DICTATES A CERTAIN KIND OF WARDROBE
Grace Kelly

ANY ITEM IN YOUR WARDROBE SHOULD SATISFY ONE OF TWO CRITERIA: UTILITY AND JOY
Stacy London

Back with a post that is not at all new to you, you may have heard it before. But I was waiting so long to write about the wardrobe must-haves that each one of us should possess and also how important role they play to create an ideal wardrobe. A good wardrobe should contain certain essentials to ensure you are always well turned out for any occasion. There are a few pieces which in my opinion everyone should have. Let’s begin with these wardrobe must-haves.

BLAZER/JACKET (from ZARA)

A very stylish well-fitted jacket that enhances one’s personality is right up here on my list of wardrobe-essentials. Pure leather, blingy, houndstooth, denim or checkered make one feel chic and comfortable at the same time. It never makes you look over the top because of the cuts and silhouettes, it can highlight your curve and make you voluptuous if you are thin and can add some height, especially long jackets if you are looking for a tall structure. A jacket /blazer will always compliment your outfit.

PRINTED STOLE (from FABINDIA)

It is a simple as any other wardrobe addition, a printed stole whether it a floral print, animal print or just any random print, it can be wrapped around your neck or handbag or can be worn as a bandana will give a statement to your style quotient and your overall look.

SILK SAREE OR SILK SHIRT (from NALLI’S)

Another addition to your wardrobe is a beautiful silk saree( Indian heritage) or a soft silk shirt. So I opted for a saree, nothing conveys the message stronger than a traditional, nine-yard draped around your body. A silk saree whether a Patola, Banarasi, Jamdani or Chanderi, is the perfect attire to flaunt my Indianess at festivals or social do’s. Also, a silk shirt in any shade/hue will do wonders when complementing with a pencil skirt or simply with formal trousers. Silk is a beautiful cloth.

NUDE COLOUR SHOES (from ALDO)

This is a must-have for your wardrobe. It goes almost with everything you wear irrespective of its colour or style. It is the best shade to mute the attention from anything that takes away from the outfit. It looks super chic with short dresses and almost goes with every pattern. You must have at least one pair in your wardrobe.

PERFUME (from HERMES)

Any wardrobe is incomplete without a good perfume to make that clothing live and worthwhile. An amazing fragrance around you brings the whole look to almost perfection. Go for earthy, woody, floral or any fruity fragrance or should have one each from all. A signature perfume is a must for any occasion.

So by having these above few must-haves in your wardrobe can elaborate the wardrobe quotient and brings it to a whole new place, all you have to do is to keep signature or statement pieces for each.

I hope you are already having a few items in your wardrobe, but for the rest, you can go ahead as the holiday season is almost there, no harm in treating yourself with that new pair of shoes or a nice chic blazer or jacket to pamper your inner self.

TOUCH IT! AND BLEND OVER

BLEND IN YOUR OWN WAY
Anonymous

Wishing you had the kind of flawless, glowing complexion that only the soft-focus filter on your phone camera seems to achieve? Let’s introduce you to a real-world miracle worker, the Makeup Sponge. A beauty tool that helps you blend your foundation perfectly, the sponge ensures even coverage and is pretty easy to use, once you’ve learnt a few basic tricks.

INVINCIBLE EGG

The makeup sponge has been around for a long time. The most common ones were the stiff, triangle-shaped ones that were used to even out pancake foundations. But they had their own drawbacks, so when the egg-shaped Beauty Blender was created by Makeup artist Rea Ann Silva in 2002, it pretty much took the world by storm.

There are many makeup sponges available in the market and picking the right one makes a big difference. The sponge is soft on the skin and, unlike makeup brushes, it does not emphasize dry patches and flakiness.

SUPER SPONGE

These days makeup sponges are available in a variety of shapes and sizes and colours to suit every need. While the iconic egg-shaped Beauty Blender occupies a special position in most beauty kits. The best part is that they are available in all possible sizes. The really tiny ones are brilliant to use on the under eyes area. A few come with flat surfaces as well, which work perfectly for contour lines.

WHEN BUYING MAKEUP SPONGE

When buying a makeup sponge, look for something that is soft and porous. Small sponges are great for spot application to hide marks on acne. The pointed tip of the sponge is great to target smaller areas of your face such as the corners of the eyes and areas around your nose. The flat surface on some sponges is great for powder application and to cover larger areas on your face.

BLEND BASICS: DO’S AND DONT’S

Don’t use a dirty sponge or the same sponge for too many products. Mixing products on a sponge isn’t a great idea.
Only use a best quality or you will end up doing more than good.
Do not drag or rub the sponge on the skin; instead use a dab or roll motion.
After blending the foundation with a brush, dab rather than rub, the blender all over the face make sure you don’t remove products.
Dampen the sponge the right way and when you squeeze the waterout.

Blending sponge’s popularity is its versatility. Tend to use it to apply blush, moisturizer, corrector and highlighter to contour, define brows, apply eyeliner and also to tone a look and evenly apply powder on the face.

Blenders are every beauty expert’s go-to tool. You really need it in your life right now to change your beauty game.

I hope you like the post. Thank you for reading!

RASPBERRY RUSH

I BELIEVE ALL THE THE WOMEN ARE PRETTY WITHOUT MAKEUP BUT WITH THE RIGHT MAKEUP PRETTY POWERFUL
BOBBI BROWN

RASPBERRY RUSH

Fashion and Beauty choices are never predictable. Sometimes you want to go subtle sometimes bold, sometimes glittery and sometimes natural.

I really heart this berry-hued lip colour makeup tutorial. This winter it’s one of the juiciest colours of the season as they say” Berries for Winters”. This berry shade can be toned down for the day and amp for the night and will work on most skin tones. If you love to try this look as much as I did, here is the tutorial:

Let’s start with

FACE

The first thing you notice about this look is that it calls for a fuss-free base.

Start with a moisturiser

Follow up with a good eye cream. I picked Neutrogena as it suits me a lot.

Dab foundation on forehead, cheeks and chin and evenly blend it in with your finger tips or sponge.

Using a puff apply pressed powder and buff away with big powder brush.

Keep the cheeks bare for optimal look.

EYES

Need to keep the freshness of colours.

I am using shimmery and subdued pink eyeshadow all over the eyelids, starting from brow bone extending to lash line. Blend it well with an eyeshadow blending brush.

Next, take a small eyeliner brush and create winged liner with eyeshadow in purple. It does’t have to be perfect line, you can even smudge the corners out if you like.

Add the finishing touches with two generous coats of a volumising mascara.

LIPS

Depending on how intense you want your lips to look

Define the lips with lipstick brush before filling in the colour.

Apply two coats of your favourite Matte Lipstick in Raspberry Syrup.

If you notice, the makeup on the eyes is quite subtle and has natural undertones allowing the bold lip colour to stand out. I am in love with this matte Raspberry shade lipstick and always love to experiment with my wardrobe and makeup.

Love the makeup so much that I am going to try this out quite a few times, just love the freshness on the face after finishing the look. Do give it a try and drop a comment in the comment box that how you like it!

Thank you so much for reading! You can watch a tutorial of this amazing makeup look on my INSTAGRAM REEL.

Stay safe! Stay Beautiful from the inside out!
