Gunmetal and Glitter Makeup Idea

No makeup ideas? Don`t worry we have one, which will help you impress everyone around you. It is the gunmetal and glitter makeup, which is suitable for so many occasions.

It is similar to the smokey eye, as it required darker shades, but we`d say it is much more easier.

Simply prime your eyes and apply grey eyeshadow as shown on the picture. The darkest shade should reach the middle of the upper eyelid.

This is also the area, where you need to apply black glitter.

The lower eyelid also requires a little bit of makeup – don`t forget to apply it there, too.

There is no need to line your eyes, but you can do it, if you like the more dramatic effect. Apply mascara and you are done. Just smile now, as you look fabulous!

Makeup tips for working women

One of the many challenges that working women face is choosing the right makeup while going to work.

Says beauty expert Puja Taluja, "Looking competent and professional is incredibly important in a professional setting. But that doesn't mean you have to sport a barefaced look. It can work wonders if you find the right balance between makeup that makes you look gorgeous and enhances your beauty."

Thus, keep it low-maintenance so that you can do it quickly and easily in the morning.

Prep up your face

If you have clear skin, ditch the foundation. To ensure that your face does not start perspiring, apply a compact. After cleansing your face, apply a sunscreen lotion. Avoid applying too much and just pay attention to the oily areas on your face. Press powder all over your face and neck, with a slightly damp sponge. This helps it to set and last longer.

Further, if you wish to apply foundation, use a water-based one. Just add a drop of water for a lighter coverage. Make sure that the foundation should be close to your natural skin tone.

Brighten your eyes

Says beauty expert Shahnaz Husain, "Line your eyelids with brown or gray eye shadow for a softer effect. Apply loads of mascara to make your eyes look brighter. Make sure that the trick is to keep it simple and subtle, without a heavily made-up look." Comb out your lashes and then apply a second coat of mascara if need be.

Ditch the blush

Do not opt for a blush for work. Try to keep it as simple as possible. You may apply a highlighter if you want your cheeks to look chiseled. But make sure that you do not do anything in excess because it may make you look too alluring during day time.

Keep your lips muted

Try and stick to natural shades for office. Colours that are too bright may make you look over the top. Stick to matte-based lipsticks to help them last longer. A gloss or shimmer based one will fade away with time and you will have to keep applying them. Go for pinks, mauve and nude shades that will complement your skin colour.

Keep these in mind

- Wash your face with a deep cleanser. Do not rub your face after washing, else it will develop red marks.
- Use a tinted moisturiser instead of a foundation or compact for work.
- Use light-coloured eye shadows in light pinks and browns for work. Avoid using liquid eye liners as it consumes time.
- Use water-proof mascara.
- A gentle touch-up is okay before you go in for any meetings.

Orange is the new red for lips

Red lips will always be a hit, but this summer try a shade of orange for your pout. Hollywood actress Emma Watson brightened up her black gown on the red carpet recently with a gorgeous orange lip. Also, the trend was sported at numerous runway shows. 

Why it works: 

The great thing about an orange lip is that it can suit every skin tone. It can make olive skin look more olive and with fair skin, it enhances the pallor.

What to choose: 

One can also choose the shade that suits your style best. Stains are ideal for those who don't want to fuss over their look and lip colour pencils are ideal for those who are on-the-go and want to touch up with minimal fuss.

How to contour and highlight your face

Here's how you can get movie-star like looks without going under the knife. All you need to do is follow these simple make-up tips and contour your face:

• Contouring is about highlighting your facial features so that it gives an appearance of a strong jaw line, defined cheek bones and a slimmer chiseled face. It is about shadows and light. Just like a darker colour makes you look thin and a lighter colour makes you look fat. Contouring or shading is done with a darker colour to push an area inward and highlighting is done with a lighter colour to pull an area outward. Blusher can then be used on your cheek area just above your contouring to highlight your cheeks.

• Use powders to contour your face. It is the easiest and blends well. You can also use a bronzer or two different shades of powder compact. One dark colour (at least 2 shades darker than your skin tone) for contouring and one lighter colour (ideally white powder) for highlighting.

• After applying foundation base on your face, you need to contour around your cheekbones area, just slightly under your cheekbones from the hollows to your ear. And under the chin area if you have a double chin. One can also contour into the hairline. This will help your face appear slimmer.

• Using the right brush is very important for contouring and highlighting. Bigger brushes can be used for bigger areas like under the jaw line. Make sure you keep a separate brush for your blush and your contouring powder so as to not mix the two colours. Blending is the most important thing while contouring so that there are no harsh lines visible.
