Beauty Tricks Every Girl Needs

Stay one step ahead of the beauty pack with flawless makeup and perfectly styled hair with this beauty cheat sheet.

For killer cheek bones

Not all cover girls, ramp queens or beauty pageant winners can boast of great bone structure. Even they need a bit of help, from a makeup expert of course!

Insider trick: For a nice high-cheekbone effect, firstly, you have to suck your cheeks in and find your cheek bone. Then, use a darker shade of blush underneath your cheekbone and blend up till your temple. Finish with a lighter shade, which has a metallic undertone for that touch of high-fashion glamour.

Tip: The key is to find a blusher that works and complements your complexion. Now you know!

For the perfect glow

A perfect, blemish-free and even skin tone is something that makes celebs and models stand out and photograph well. Most of them follow a healthy diet, skin-care regimen and exercise regularly, which invariably results in fabulous skin.

Insider trick(s): Natural oxygen treatments and multi-vitamin infusions work wonderfully on the skin. Dermabrasions and peels are also easy and effective ways to complete skin care. If you’re not very pro skin treatments, a few makeup touches can give you a flawless finish too. Apply concealer on any odd scars, spots or dark circles if any. Blend it well with your foundation. It’s essential to blend in the foundation on your neck and any exposed area for an even and perfect look. Make sure you follow up the foundation with a compact.

Tip: Make a trip to the dermatologist, who’ll advise a treatment that suits your skin the best. Blend in your concealer and foundation for an even better coverage. 

For mesmerising eyes

Beauty queens often resort to using false eyelashes to help them get those dreamy eyes. That’s too much trouble for daily wear.

Insider trick: Instead, use an eyelash curler to accentuate your lashes. Apply two generous coats mascara for added volume. Use kajal in the upper inner lid to highlight your eyes.

Tip: Make sure to use a smudge-proof kajal so that the definition doesn’t fade out.

For salon-like hair

Start with a great hair cut. It’s important to choose a style that’s easy to maintain even after you’ve left the salon. 

Insider trick: Treat your hair to deep conditioning masks before attempting to style. They fill the hair with the essential moisture, which in turn leaves less scope for atmospheric humidity to get trapped in your hair and cause problems.

Tip: To look like a super model/screen goddess—just part a front section to create a sweeping fringe—and then loosely pin up the remaining hair, and you’re ready for the shutterbugs!
