Spread the love

Winter is already here! Yes, it’s that time of the year when you have to say goodbye to your short sleeves, luscious ice-creams, your bright pastels, and lipstick. However, this does not mean your makeup game needs to be as dull as the winter days.

To keep you updated with the hottest winter trends, we have been scrolling through our social accounts feeds endlessly. From the Brushed-Up Brows to the Soft Smokey Eyes, we got everything for you all in one place. So, without further ado, let’s get started.

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

The modern independent woman is bolder, classy, and charming, so is her makeup. Don’t be amazed by the new graphic eyeliners on the women around you. Break free out of your shell of shyness and let yourself try a new bolder eye makeup this season.

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.

December 9 was the birthday of Sonia Gandhi, President of Indian National Congress, and the hashtag #BarDancerDay was once again trending on our Twitter timelines.

And before I proceed, let me clarify that this was not the first time when the 74YO politician was derogated, both by her rivalries and the common countrymen!

The entire Twitter was blown up with derogatory memes and insulting jokes about Sonia Gandhi’s alleged career as a bar dancer in Italy before meeting Rajeev Gandhi and moving to India. The hashtag #BarDancerDay got so viral that even a Google search on ‘Italian bar dancer’ and ‘bar dancer of Italy in India’ started showing Sonia Gandhi in the featured section.

But just for the purpose of clarification, Sonia Gandhi was born and brought up in Italy, and she did work as a bartender, not a bar dancer, in an Italian restaurant during her college days to manage her expenses.

But who am I to play jury to the authenticity of any of these claims or everything else the politician has been accused of so far; but the kind of reaction invoked by these hashtags and arguments is appalling, to say the least.

For everyone, who wish for a society to be equal and respectful to every person, despite the class, caste, gender or profession, this was nothing less than daylight torture as the Twitterattis were using the profession of bar dancer as abuse and insult to defame a woman.

I totally Condemn these #अंतरराष्ट्रीय_बार_डांसर_दिवस #BarDancerDay

The misogyny existing in our Indian society is not something new that you would witness — people in our society are so grossly sexist that it hurts every time you think about it. And this incident proves that it’s not only men but also women who carry the ounce of misogyny in them.

The kind of comments made for the president of INC make you question yourself — that is this the new futuristic India they were planning? Or if we are really living in 2020? Weren’t we supposed to figure out the unemployment issues and the slow down the adverse climate change affect?

The saddest part about this whole incident is that the profession ‘bar dancer’ is being used as an insult to women — as if the women who work in bars and restaurants are filthy and do not deserve the right to live the same way as we do! And the set of men making such comments and insulting Gandhi using the term ‘bar dancer’ are exactly the same set of men who would go out to ‘ such places’, make these women feel inferior, calls them out unsanskari and yet seek enjoyment out of it!!

And let’s not forget the ever-increasing crime rate against women in our country; reminding us every second that the crime mindsets are just residing among us, probably making another derogatory comment against some woman on Twitter.

By mocking and insulting Sonia Gandhi for just working in a bar, millions of people have intentionally or unintentionally mocked and insulted thousands of those women who works in bars/ restaurants/ clubs to make their ends meet. This incident is a reflection of misogyny — the fact that how our society has evolved as ‘open-minded, modern, yet insensible and misogynistic’ and how far it can go just for the sake of bashing the political rivals.

There were ways to call someone out — one can argue, insult or debate in many respectful ways, a concept that our society is far from — but when it’s a woman at the receiving end of criticism, we forget our lihaaj and limits.

I guess it’s high time (no that high time has been here since forever) that we let go of this selective approach of respecting women and leave any form of prejudice behind. It doesn’t really take a lot to have basic human decency and respect for women (any gender, in fact) and it’s time that we should start practicing it.
