"Soft brown shadows are universally flattering and look modern when worn as a monochromatic smoky eye," says makeup artist Nick Barose.


HOW-TO:


Trace your lash lines with a black pencil like.

"Don't worry if the liner isn't perfectly straight, since you'll be smudging it anyway."


Apply shadow (we like browns from Dior) across lids and under lower lashes, connecting it at the outer corners, says makeup artist Pati Dubroff. Blend well and use one coat of Givenchy's mascara.

I usually spend my time at fashion shows, fashion magazine, to marvelling at how long and lean the models are In fashion, at least, taller women always look better in the clothes.

One’s  my friends said he wasn’t fat, his legs were just too short.  I guess that’s a common problem for many of us.  we’d all look longer and leaner with maybe another foot of height.

You can never look too tall! Even 6-foot, 50-something model Jerry Hall likes to look taller, in her monochromatic look with a V-neck and black fishnets to continue the long line.

But height is something you either have naturally or you don’t: it’s not something you can change with diet or exercise like so many other body challenges.

So the best way to make yourself look taller and leaner is to use visual tricks.

This is a great fashion cycle to try and look taller and leaner since so many of the shapes – long tunics with leggings, long slim trousers, sheath dresses, etc. – help create a longer, leaner line.

Here we write some quick fashion tips to add some visual height to your look as you need:

1. Although women have long turned to all black as a no-brainer for dressing slimmer, you can also use other hues to create a longer line.  I like different hues of the same color family: charcoal, silver and heather gray for example. What you don’t want to do is chop up your body with contrasting colors if you want to look taller, for example, wearing a white shirt with a black skirt.

2.  An unbuttoned jacket or vest can give you that strong vertical line that keeps the eye moving up and down, rather than across. The sheath dress is the perfect dress silhouette to create a strong vertical line. Slim pants worn with a tunic top, a long scarf wrapped around your neck with ends left dangling and layers of long necklaces all create a strong vertical presence as well. Even going with vertical seaming or prints can add to the eye travelling up and down rather than across.

3.  The best way to visually increase your height is to physically increase your height Wear heels. Even a slight heel (minimum two inches) will improve the line of most outfits and give you a longer look. Even your boots can make you look taller: opt for sleek, knee-high boots and leggings or skinny jeans in the same color to create a long, unbroken line. Try legwear in the same color as your shoes for another great way to add visual height. And, of course, if you can wear really high heels, they are still the best way to look taller.

4.  Hollywood’s trick to having endless gams is to wear nude shoes with bare (or seemingly bare) legs. Try nude shoes.Nude shoes look great with just about any color and you can even cheat to wear them with super sheer nude hose or nude-colored fishnets (Diane von Furstenberg uses this trick to make it look like she has flawless legs.) Red and black dresses look fresh and new when paired with nude shoes.

5.  Try to use a V-neck top. This V-neck top adds visual height and elongates the neck. Even if you wear it layered (like a deep V-neck sweater with a tee layered under it) it will still give you a longer line than either a crew or boat neck top would. Hw much deeper the V, the greater the illusion of your height.

In the way we wear our dresses in our everyday life, sometimes all it takes is a small change pieces to look instantly slimmer. For example, a few years ago I started buying longer-length jeans so I could wear heels with them. Small change, huge difference. I not only looked thinner and longer legged, I also looked more dressed up

Here are we show some more easy ideas to look thinner:

1.  Use the new shape wear. If the thought of constricting girdles from years past have kept you from trying the new shape wear, you'll be amazed at how far body slimmer’s have come. I love camisole shapers to wear under knits and Spanx for a super sleek line under dresses and pants.

2.  Always use  the right bra. If everything isn't exactly, um, where it used to be, the quickest way to get that slim torso back is to lift everything back into place. The right way to do this is by choosing the perfect bra for your body. If you've never been fitted for a bra before, it can be a little awkward but well worth it to get the right bra. You need a bra wardrobe - exercise, casual, t-shirt, strapless, etc. - so that you can have something for every outfit.

3.  Dress in monochromatic colors head-to-toe. You may know that head-to-toe black is slimming, but did you know that head-to-toe anything will give you a slimmer look than chopping it up in blocks of color? Even head-to-toe white can be slimming.

4.  Opt for constructed pieces instead of loose knits. I don't know where the myth began that long, loose knit layers were flattering, but they are tremendously unflattering to overweight women. Instead, opt for pants that hang straight from the hip (no fuller, no skinnier), jackets with some construction and shirts with some tailoring. The overall effect should be to skim your body - never tight - but still much more flattering than flimsy knits.

5.  Wear dark colors on your largest areas. Big bottom? Wear black pants or dark jeans with a print top. Top heavy? Wear a black jacket with light pants. You get the idea. Camouflage your heaviest part with a dark item to make it recede, and bring your slimmer section into focus by wearing a bright or print.

6.  Wear heels. The taller you are, the slimmer you'll look. So add a few inches to legs with heels. If you have heavy legs, make sure you pick a substantial-looking heel. I like wedges because they are more comfortable, trendy and even work for women with curvy calves.

7.  Opt for back pockets on your pants, jeans-style. The worst thing you can do for a broad backside is to go pocketless. Back pockets - the flat, jean-style patch ones - break up the expanse of bottom and make you look smaller.

8.  Bring all the attention to your face with earrings and/or a necklace.Wear jewelry close to your face. I like long, layered chains to give the entire body a longer, leaner line.

9.  The wrong print is anything that makes you look wider:Choose the right prints. polka dots, thick horizontal lines or widely spaced florals. The right prints give you visual height - like pinstripes - or provide camouflage (like florals that are medium-to-large size and are tightly spaced together to show very little background.)

10.  Use makeup to make your face look thinner. Double chins are especially prominent as we age. My best friend uses this trick: find a powder one shade or so darker than your skin tone. Use upward sweeping strokes to apply it under your chin to help that area recede. I use a bronzing powder (applied with a very light hand, and with only touching the ends - not brushing) along cheekbones and on the temples.

Do you get the pain when you break your nails as well? Well I don't. Wanna know the secret? Then keep reading...

HERE ARE SOME TREATS I GIVE TO YOUR NAILS:  1)   Every time I wash my hands, I apply some hand cream and massage it on my cuticles for a minute. I use Butter. It is really moisturising. Dryness of nails can be the reason of breakage. So moisturising is the key.
 2)   Acetone can be really drying on nails. So after using a nail remover to take off the polish, I wash my hands with warm water to get rid of acetone or any other chemicals. Then I simply massage my hands and cuticles with the hand cream. 3)   I use Nail Remover and believe it or not, my nails feels moisturised and it doesn't have that squeaky clean, dry effect. Maybe because it contains coconut and papaya extract. 4)   Sometimes during winter, I massage some almond oil on my hands and cuticles for 2 mins. Then I put on cotton gloves and go to sleep. Cotton gloves doesn't soak up the almond oil so the oil stays on hands to moisturise them. When you wake up, your hands will be really soft and your nails will be much stronger. 5)   Rubbing or Tapping your nails gently will increase blood circulation and so this will strengthen the nails. I use the Rubbing motion because its easier. Just rub your nails against each other for 2-3 mins everyday.

So here are all the things I do for my nails and to be honest, my nails hardly ever break. Or maybe it could be genes because my mum's nails are really thick and strong.

But you girls can try these tips on your nails and see for yourself. There's nothing to lose because it is all Natural.

There is nothing more annoying than waiting ages for your nails to get dry. I found these great tips from Bellasugar and they definitely work like a miracle.

BLOW IT UP

• Salons use fans to help speed up drying, but your hair dryer works just as well. The secret is to put it on the "cool" setting. Heat actually keeps polish from firming, so giving your digits a shot of cold air is much more helpful.

FREEZE IT OUT

• Since cold hardens polish, ice water baths are also a great setting trick. Before you start painting your nails, fill a mixing bowl with ice cubes and run cold water over the top. Then, when you're finished painting, dip your nails in for about a minute. This is a great way to help protect against divots, since it helps solidify polish all the way through, not just on top. The opposite also holds: if you're having trouble removing polish, soaking your hands in warm water will make it easier.

THIN IT OUT

• Instead of putting on one or two coats of thick polish, apply three extremely thin coats, and let each dry for a couple of minutes before you layer on the next. It might seem like it slows down your manicure, but it actually makes overall drying time much faster.

Black Knees and Elbows is common in South Asian/African communities. And unfortunately I had them too :(. But how come Bollywood stars don't have them? I wondered and then I did a little bit of research and came up with 8 Natural ways to cure it.

I was a little ashamed of them and I couldn't wear short/skirts when I was 13 but now I wear them without being embarrassed of them. Knees and Elbows become dark because of dead skin cells. To get rid of these dead skin cells, you need ingredients that exfoliate and/or bleach dark skin Naturally.

After trying out these recipes, It is very important to MOISTURISE. Any moisturiser will work but I recommend cocoa butter or rub some olive oil on knees/elbows for better results. If you don't moisturise them then they will become darker.

1) You Need:

• Baking Soda
• Milk

Directions:

Mix enough milk to make baking soda a little damp. Apply the paste on knees or elbows and scrub it in circular motions. Repeat this until you notice, your knees have became lighter and when you are happy with it. I used to skip a day before doing it again.

2) You Need:

• 1 tsp Turmeric
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Olive Oil

If you don't have turmeric, you may use baking soda. Mix them well together and Apply + Rub in Circular motions.

3) You Need:

• Lemon

• Gram Flour

Add enough lemon juice to make gram flour damp. Lemon is a Natural bleach and will reduce the darkness. Apply + Rub in Circular motions.

4) You Need: 

• Olive Oil

Just rub the olive oil on knees. This oil has natural bleaching properties and will also make your skin glow. It is the cheapest way.

5) You Need:

• Anything that exfoliates your body (loofah, exfoliating brush etc...)

Scrub your knees with loofah or whatever you have, when you are having a shower and scrub with them in circular motions.

6) You Need:

• Really amazing moisturiser or butter or Shea butter

Dark knees/elbows are also caused by dry skin, so you need A LOT of moisturisers if you notice your knees/elbows are flaky.  {P.S Shea butter is the BEST moisturiser I have ever tried.}

7) You Need:

• Sunscreen Lotion

Knees/elbows are most exposed in sun during summer. No doubt they will become dark if exposed without sunscreen lotion applied. You can use sunscreen lotion as a moisturiser and to lighten dark knees/elbows after shower.

8) You Need:

• Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe Vera gel reduces dark scars/sun damage caused by over-exposure of knees/elbows. You can buy pure aloe Vera gel from any drug stores/pharmacies/health stores.

One of the tricks To try:

• Take two strips of cloth that are wide enough to cover your knees/elbows and some olive oil. Apply olive oil on knees/elbows and massage it for 2 mins. Tie 2 strips of cloths around knees to keep the moisture in and leave them over night. In the morning, scrub your knees/elbows with loofah and wash off the oil in the shower. Moisturise your knees/elbows after shower and Repeat until you see results.

Hope it works for you guys. Take Care.
