#AtoZChallenge Q- Q-tip

Yes. That’s what they’re called in the world of makeup!

Ever spoilt your liner after spending minutes in front of the mirror? And then regretted it? And then because it got so thick or by mistake, you placed a dot at the place not required? And because of all this, you had to clean your whole eye, not to mention the whole makeup, because you were trying to clean up that accident, in the first place? Isn’t it annoying to clean the face and then start all over again?!

I know it is… Big time! At least, it was my story for sure! Until I learned this trick!

I have brought a really fine quick tip to fix that extra liner or mascara dot if placed accidentally anywhere near your eye without disturbing any other part of the makeup!

The answer is the simple Q-tip.

So for example, in this video, I accidentally placed a big dot above my lashes while applying mascara (Okay, don’t roll your eyes! It wasn’t an accident. I deliberately did that to show you guys :P :D ;)). The idea is to not touch it or disturb it immediately. Let it be there for 5 minutes and allow it to get dry properly. Meanwhile, you can finish off the other part of the makeup. Now take your q-tip and scrape off the product. It will come out easily without leaving any marks behind.

That’s it and you’re done!

Tip: This can be done with liquid liners and mascaras.

Caution: Please do not apply q-tip to gel liners just like that. It will only spoil your makeup. This trick works with liquid liners.

Let me know if it was helpful to you.

#AtoZChallenge P-Prepping of the Skin

Before any makeup starts, it is extremely important to follow certain steps before going ahead with any makeup product.

Prepping of skin is referred to as CTM i.e. Cleansing, Toning, and Moisturizing and is one of the main steps in the makeup ritual. A good makeup artist will never skip these steps and my personal recommendation is that you should never skip this in your daily skin care regime as well.

Clean your face with a good cleanser, apply toner on your skin and let it dry for a bit and then apply your favorite moisturizer. Never miss the sunscreen in the day, even if the weather is cloudy. Sunscreen is always a must.

A lot of people underestimate the importance of a toner. But that shouldn’t be done. Toner helps you swipe away any leftover dead skin cells, makeup or any other bacteria. In the summers, toner provides a good amount of hydration to your skin.

Always invest in an alcohol-free toner as it typically dries up the skin.

In this video, I have shown you the prepping of skin.

When you follow all the above steps, you will notice a little sheen on your face instantly. That is the magic of CTM.

I have used Brightening Cleanser from O3

Toner- Kama Rose Water (one of the best in the market)

Moisturizer- Acrofy from Dr. Reddy (This is recommended by my dermatologist as my skin is prone to acne), you can use any other that suits you.

I hope you found it useful. Comment for further questions.

#AtoZChallenge- O- Opens your eyes

Today it is about how you can create the illusion of showing more opened up eyes just by one additional product in your kit. 

The white kajal pencil. Yes! That’s it. You know, when this product was launched, I always wondered, who in the world would wear white kohl?! First, it gives that ghostly look and none of us would want to look like a vamp.

Second, why... I mean, just why white??!! Now, all I do is smile at my naive thoughts. 

It is always about the right use of every makeup product and this is no different. 
Just apply a bit of it on your waterline along with your regular kohl or shadow. And notice the immediate difference that comes just because of the white line. 

I have used white Kajal from @lagirlcosmetics and you can avail it from @mynykaa.

Check out the video and ask me if you more doubts about it.

#AtoZChallenge M- Mascara

Really easy to apply and extremely difficult to remove (at least for me :D :P). But I am here for the application right now.

I’m sure we all know how to apply mascara but I’m going to share a few small hacks for you guys to make it perfect.

Start by curling your lashes. The tip here is to warm it a bit with the help of a blow may and then curl your lashes. Trust me, you will be amazed at the results just by curling the lashes.

Then take your mascara and start applying in zigzag motion (not straight) just the way I have shown in the video. By doing this, you will not end up having the excess product at the end of your lash and the lashes look more grown and fine.

The third thing that you need to keep in mind, while doing your lashes is, to look at a straight direction and not upwards when you do the upper lash.

For the lower lash too, try to look straight and I am 100% sure, these tricks will give you those perfect lashes.

Want to know how to remove it? Stay tuned to my page and it watch out!

Have a questions? Just drop me a message.

Cheers

#AtoZChallenge J- Jawline

Ever wanted a killer jawline but don’t have one? Or, couldn’t make one? Well, I have a tutorial for you that will help you make that perfect, sexy jawline you always desired.

Take a bronzer two tones darker than your foundation or a shadow two shades darker than your skin tone and create that perfect jawline. Follow the brush strokes and the angle the way I have done in the video and I’m sure you will be through with it.

                                       

Luckily, I am blessed with a great jawline, so I don’t have to work too much for it. But I do have double-chin and for that, I have to work extra!

In this video, I have first used a cream concealer, 2 shades darker than my skin tone, blended it into my skin and then used a powder shade of a darker color to create the perfect jawline that gives you an uplifted look.

Have doubts? Tell me in the comments or DM me.

#AtoZChallenge I-Individuality

Individuality is something that makes you stand out from the crowd. It is that particular feature that distinguishes you from someone else.

When it comes to makeup, there is a certain pattern that people follow. Some people never leave the house without putting on their kajal. Some people cannot do without wearing their lipstick. Some are bound to wear compact powder. Some don’t leave without shaping their eyebrows and the list is endless.

Here, in this post, I have shared my general routine makeup that I do when I have to go out in the afternoons or light evenings. These are a must do for me. I cannot step out without completing all these steps for an afternoon event. And it isn't too much. It gives me a very subtle, natural, dewy look that goes well with almost every occasion. 

Check out the video guys and let me know what you feel about it.

And tell me in the comments below, what is it for you that you cannot do without while going out of the house?

Cheers
