This simple makeup can make you beautiful owning to the glowing skin of teenage. But if a few enhancements or ‘touchups’ are done instead of a makeup what to say more! It makes you perfect! Yes, through this column I shall provide a few easy touchup tips, particularly for teens, when heavy makeup is not at all needed.

Which products to buy to draw eyes?

1. Liquid eye liner, gel eye liner, pencil or stick kajal – you can choose any of these to draw beautiful eyes. If you just want to provide shade to eyes, use an eye pencil to draw your eyes and gently spread it. Gel eye liners are easy to use, and they never spread easily. If you want to draw eyes a little bit thick and to spread it wide, purchase a kajal stick (Kohl stick).

2. Latest trend is to draw thin using an eye liner or shading eye corners only.

3. Eye liner stickers are available in different colours. They are water proof and won’t spread while sweating. Lip colour stickers are also available.

4. If you are a person with deep eyes, use eye liner or eye pencil on the upper eye lid only. Apply mascara on the upper eyelashes only.

5. To make your eyes appear big, use highlighter pens of white, cream or skin tone at the beginning of eye. Now draw eyeliner in the upper eyelid, slightly curve upwards with a lengthy tail to give lengthy look to eyes.

6. To enhance the beauty of big eyes, use thick strokes while drawing eye liner in the upper eye lid.

Eye lashes – to add beauty to eyes

2. If you are not confident enough to use artificial lashes, make a cut at the centre of false eye lashes. Now stick one part to one edge of your eyes. If so, your eye corners get a beautiful look. Though they are false eye lashes, it never gives an artificial look.

3. After using black mascara, you can apply a little coloured mascara at the tips of eye lashes to give a different look to your eyes. But choose only matching colour shades. For instance, if you are giving golden brown colours to eye lashes, copper metallic shadow is the best combo.

Colours that match with your eye brows most

1. Buy an eye brow pencil with one shade less than your hair colour. You should only shade your eye brows to avoid artificiality. Gently stroke here and there. Using an eye brush gently spread it in your eye brows.

2. At the beginning of eye brows, never use thick shades; it kills the beauty of face.

3. Bold eye brow is currently trending. Shade your eye brows to give them a thick appeal. Towards the end edges, you can make it slightly thick to get a good fashion statement.

Lips like oranges…

2. Moisturizing lip glows can prevent lips from dryness. Soft lips are beautiful always. You can do extensive makeup in lips. But it’s of no use if done on cracked lips.

3. Neutral lip shades are best for daily use, especially during day time. Bright shades suit best for night parties. Lip glows can also do the same job if you have planned to attend a night party. Mat finish lipstick for daily use and glossy lipstick for special occasions could be the best option.

4. You can experiment with two shades of same colour on your upper and lower lips. This lip makeup technique covers the extra size of your lips. Give the next colour shade on the bigger lip. If so both the lips appear of the same size.

Those old hair styles have returned
