If you thought hair coloring was the trend which has been in practice only since the past few years, you got that wrong! Hair coloring has been practiced and followed by people since decades. ‘Eighteen Books of the Secrets of Art & Nature’, a book published in the 1661 mentions the different ways, shades of hair colors used. The pivotal factor that you need to keep in mind while doing hair coloring is that, you need to use the right brand. We have a few tips if you plan to color your hair trendy.

• Firstly, know what color you need to apply. It should go in par with your complexion and skin texture. Aping others blindly does not make you look stylish (like how they did). So, make sure that you apply the right shade.
• Hair coloring is purely chemical –centric. So do not apply it occasionally. It hampers your hair and affects your body and skin in the long run.
• Make sure that you do a test on your skin before you apply to your hair. Some people are allergic to hair colors, and you might face skin discoloration, hair breakage etc.
• Always follow the instructions that are provided in the pack (of the hair color) before you start the procedure.

These are the tips we have in hand now. But we shall bring you more on how to carry off your hair in style and elegance.

We hear cosmetic companies and cosmetologists stressing on the relevance of moisturizers for the skin. Moisturizing, as we know, is important for soft and supple skin. Hence, you need to apply them daily. Application on a daily basis makes your skin look shiny, beautiful and elegant. There are plenty of moisturizers available in the market. You have to be careful about what you choose, and opt for the best quality one.

If you are one amongst those who have dry skin, then look no further, moisturizers will come to your rescue. Apply them on a daily basis for best results.

• Moisturizers are good for protection from the sun. They protect you from the harsh and damaging UV rays.
• Before applying your make-up, make sure you use your moisturizer on your face. It helps the make-up last long, and also make you look shinier and pretty, as they serve as good primers.
• There is so much of dust and heat around us everyday. So whether you sit at home or travel outside for work, it just makes your skin look dead at the end of the day. The cure is, wash your face with a good face wash and moisturize your skin.
• You can also choose for the perfumed moisturizers available in the market. They give you sweet fragrance along with moisturizing.

These are some of the reasons to why you need to apply moisturizers to your skin on a daily basis. If you haven’t started it yet, do it now!

Eye-liners, lipsticks, kajals, kohls, eye-shadows and nail polishes make up every woman’s make-up kit. Make-up is inevitable, whether you are going out for coffee with friends, off to work or attending a function. At least you need to do the basic, application of lipstick and kajal! Here are a few tips that you need to keep in mind when you shop for make-up, because it is all about looking good and enhancing your confidence!

Choose shades and color tones that suit your skin. Reds and pinks blend well with fair skins, whereas browns and lighter shades look best for wheatish complexion.

• Liquid foundation is perfect for the Indian skin color AKA wheatish skin color. But then, less the make-up, the better it is!
• If you have long lashes, make sure you don’t apply black mascara because it does not look good.
• An easy tip- Make sure you mix a little water with the foundation so that the streaks of foundation does not appear after some time.

• Your arms must swing, but not too much. They would look awkward, and can even give out the notion that, you haven’t practiced much.
• Make sure you have a smile on your face. Grumpy looks are not welcome, not by the judges nor the audience.
