1. Brushed-Up Brows

Are you still trying to give your eyebrows a perfect shape by plucking out its hair? Well, those days are gone for good. Now, the trend is shifting towards big natural brushed-up brows. To gain the best out of it, brush your eyebrows up using a brow gel and a Spoolie. While Spoolie will make your brows appear tamed, the gel will provide you with a more sophisticated look.

2. Graphic Eyeliner

You can give your eye makeup routine a new direction without any limitations, be it for a casual date or your office. Also, you can try any shape or colour to use this eyeliner trend to bring the best out of you.

3. Cat-Eyes

Yes, you guessed it right, this year is all about the eye makeup trends. Since the pandemic got us covered from nose to toe, the eye-makeup trends seem logical, and what can be a better look than the elegant eye-cat look.

It is especially for those who like to keep it minimalistic. Be it celebrities, a regular office-woman, or a teenage girl, this one’s everyone’s favourite. It helps you make your eyes appear bigger and classy. You can tune the thickness of the line according to your mood and preference.

4. Colour-Blocked Eye-Makeup

You have come across this one while watching fashion weeks, and since bold is on the rise, this one’s expected to ascent the charts too. It is for those who want their eyes to be colourful, radiant, and glamorous. It involves the display of one-coloured eye shadow all over your eye-lids.

You can play around with your eye-shadow hues to surprise everyone for good. Make your move, give up on neutrals and try out bronze, turquoise, and even purple. Find the one that suits you the best.

5. Soft Smokey Eyes

Some makeups are very appealing, but we find them too hard to pull off. Soft Smokey Eyes, being one of them, is for those who want to look sexy yet being mysterious at the same time. Our ‘lived-in eye makeup’ is one of the top trends of winter 2020. So, if you want to make an impression, then don’t forget to try it at least once this season. It involves a smudged, dark, and smokey appearance, which is best suited when put together with ethnic apparel.

6. Glowing Skin

Glowing Skin Makeup, the one that gives you a goddess-like natural appearance, is our last pick that is going to trend this year. Even though it is simple to achieve, yet many fail to nail this one. To get started, take a little amount of face oil and mix it well with your foundation. Fuse the combination well into your skin to achieve a perfect radiant-glow.

At last, use your highlighter to highlight the key-points of your face. Voila! A queen-like appearance that you have always craved.

These were the top 6 trends for this winter season. It’s time to explore the bold in you, try to experiment, go all out on different colours, and don’t forget to wear your makeup confidently. Apart from that, focus on building a better version of yourself this season. Women who take care of themselves and put their health first makes the most out of everything. So, make sure you take your physique, skincare routine, hair care routine, and health very seriously.

All this will yield radiant, smooth, and naturally beautiful skin. When paired up with the right makeup trends, your appearance will get you appreciation everywhere. Try any of the trendy makeups mentioned-above and share your experience with us.

A little self-care goes a long way. It’s important to take care of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. However, we are so caught up in life’s rigmarole that we often forget to take a moment to sit down to catch up on things for ourselves. Experts say that a routine for skincare like an easy face mask can help to be more confident and also makes others respect us more because when we learn to respect ourselves, others follow suit.

In today’s fast-paced life, this can become rather challenging. Sometimes, we tend to neglect ourselves and all the stress shows on our faces as dull skin or limp hair. Here are some DIY mask ideas for face, hair, and feet with easy ingredients available in every kitchen to help rejuvenate effortlessly without an expensive parlour trip.

FACE MASK (for face, neck and arms)

Gram flour 4 tbsp
Milk 2 tbsp
Few strands of saffron, optional
Rose water- I tbsp, optional
Turmeric- ½ tsp
Lime- 1 tbsp
Honey- 1 tbsp
Vitamin E capsule (optional, available at any pharmacy)

Mix the above ingredients to achieve a paste like consistency. Add milk if thick. Add more gram flour if it’s too runny. Apply the paste to your face, neck and arms. Let it dry. Once dry, apply water to wet it. Rub in circular motion to loosen it up and wash it away with only water. Do not use soap after washing this to clean your face. This mask can be used for normal skin. If skin is too dry, avoid lime. For very oily skin, substitute milk with curd.

HAIR MASK

Fermented Rice water- 1 cup, approximately
Flax seed powder- 1 tbsp
Methi seeds- 1 tp
Coconut oil- 3 tbsp

Heat the coconut oil (virgin cold pressed preferably or any hair oil). Soak a teaspoon of fenugreek seeds in the warm oil and leave it overnight. Save the rice water drained from cooking everyday rice and let it ferment overnight. You can refrigerate this fermented rice water for use for up to two days. Mix a spoonful of flax seed powder with few spoons of rice water to make a paste for your hair length. Add the strained coconut oil to it.

Apply it on your hair evenly, lengthwise. For longer hair you can increase the amount of coconut oil and flax seed powder, use rice water to adjust the paste consistency. Leave this for an hour before shampooing. This helps for frizz control and gives shine and volume to hair. For extremely dry hair, substitute coconut oil with olive oil. For oily hair, add the juice of a lemon to the paste. This mask works as a pre-shampoo conditioner.

FOOT MASK

Gram flour or rice flour- 2 tbsp
Rock Salt/ Himalayan salt/ Epsom salt- 1 tp
Baking Soda- ½ tp
Lime – 1 tbsp
Green tea leaves- 1 tp

Mix all the ingredients to make a paste. Adjust consistency with water. Apply on the feet and leave it to dry. Wrap a cling film if possible to avoid it from falling. Once the mask is dry, apply a little water to wet the pack and rub in circular motion with a pumice stone. Wash it clean with water. The green tea helps as an antioxidant to pull out toxins. The baking soda and lime help to remove odour and dry flaky skin. Gram flour serves as a scrub to remove dead and rough skin. The salt helps to relax tired and achy feet. Moisturize your feet overnight with coconut oil or any moisturizing cream.
