FOR BEGINNERS, A STEP-BY-STEP PARTY MAKEUP LOOK

FOR BEGINNERS, A STEP-BY-STEP PARTY MAKEUP LOOK

Even complete beginners may master this step-by-step party makeup look.

Dressing up in a stunning gown and applying some fun party makeup may instantly put you in the mood to dance the night away, whether it's ladies' night at your favourite club or your best friend's sangeet. You won't need to rush to the nearest salon for a makeover, either. You'll be ready to rock the party in no time with this simple party makeup regimen.

1. Even simple party makeup styles call for a lot of shimmer and glitter on the eyelids, which is why we suggest starting with the eyes. This allows you to easily dust away any eyeshadow smudges without ruining your base makeup.

2. Begin by using an eyebrow pencil to fill in your brows and define your arches.

3.  After that, prime and set your eyelids, then crease with a brown shade from The 24K Nudes Eyeshadow Palette. Apply dark brown to the outer part of the crease to make it stand out. Apply a golden or gold shimmering eyeshadow hue across your eyelids with your finger, then add a dab of black eyeshadow to the outer corner of your eyelids for added drama.

4. Use bold liquid eyeliner to define your upper lash line and create a dramatic winged eyeliner to take your party makeup look to the next level. For a smudged-out eyeliner appearance, smudge some black eyeshadow across your top lash line. Smoke out the dark brown eyeshadow on your lower lash line with a flat angled brush, and then use a dark black kajal on your top and lower lash line for added drama.

5. Add a coat (or three!) of your favourite volumizing mascara to finish off your party eye makeup.

6. The key to nailing any party makeup is to have a perfect face. Fill and blur pores, smooth skin texture, and extend the wear of your foundation makeup with a primer. Choose a long-lasting full coverage foundation to avoid fading throughout the night, and then use a concealer to mask your dark circles as well as any blemishes or dark spots.

7. Carve out your cheekbones and define the perimeter of your face using a powder or cream contour product, then set your products in place with a setting powder, and your base makeup is complete. Because you'll most likely be photographing your event with flash, make sure your base makeup items match your skin tone exactly. Answer a few questions on the Maybelline Foundation Finder tool to determine your perfect shade match, and you'll never end up with a base makeup product that's too light or too dark for your skintone.

8. Now it's time to use a blush and highlighter to add some much-needed colour and glow to your face. Apply a generous quantity of colour to the apples of your cheeks with your favourite blush hue. To give your complexion a naturally flushed look, swipe your brush across the bridge of your nose. Party makeup looks are the ideal opportunity to shine like the Gods, so go all out with a brilliant gold highlighter, but not too much. Apply shimmer to the bridge of your nose, under the arch of your brows, your temples, and the Cupid's bow on all high points of your face. For the utmost shine, dab a small bit of highlighter in the inner corner of your eyes.

9. Now it's time for the most exciting part of any beauty look: the lipstick! Before you begin your lip makeup, line your lips with a lip liner to ensure that the lipstick does not fade or feather outside of your natural lip line.

10. Because there will be a lot of talking, eating, and drinking at your party, you'll want a waterproof, smudge-proof, and transfer-proof lipstick. Keep your lips as the major feature of your face, even if you're wearing light makeup for your party, to create a statement without going overboard. The Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick Pinks Edition in the shade Ringleader has just the right amount of to complement all complexion tones and undertones, making it ideal for people who like a simple party makeup look without a lot of dramatic colours.

Don't forget to fix everything in place and lock in your party makeup with a few spritzes of a setting spray once you've finished your party makeup. And there you have it! You're all set to party all night...

Common Grooming Mistakes Men Make

Common Grooming Mistakes Men Make

Let's be real—most guys didn't grow up getting detailed lessons on grooming. Maybe your dad taught you how to shave, or maybe you just figured it out on your own. Either way, there are some pretty common mistakes that a lot of men make without even realizing it. And here's the thing: fixing them doesn't require a complete overhaul of your routine or spending a fortune on products.

Skipping Sunscreen Daily

This is probably the biggest one, and it's something so many guys overlook. Sunscreen isn't just for beach days or summer vacations. Your face is exposed to UV rays every single day, even when it's cloudy, even during winter, even if you're just driving to work.

The damage adds up over time. We're talking premature aging, dark spots, and obviously a higher risk of skin cancer. But most men think moisturizer alone is enough, or they skip face care altogether.

Here's what actually works: get a daily moisturizer with SPF built in. That way, you're not adding an extra step—you're just using a better product. Look for at least SPF 30, and make sure it says "broad spectrum" on the label. That means it protects against both UVA and UVB rays.

Apply it every morning after you wash your face. Takes about thirty seconds. If you're going to be outside for extended periods, reapply every couple hours. Yeah, it's one more thing to remember, but your skin at fifty will thank you.

Using The Same Razor For Way Too Long

We've all been guilty of this. That disposable razor sitting in your shower has probably been there for... what, a month? Two months? Longer?

Dull blades don't just give you a worse shave. They actually cause more problems. When a blade loses its edge, you end up pressing harder and going over the same area multiple times. That's what leads to razor burn, ingrown hairs, and irritation.

A good rule is to replace disposable razors after five to seven uses. If you're using a cartridge razor, swap out the cartridge every couple of weeks, depending on how often you shave. You'll know it's time when the shave starts feeling rough or you notice more irritation than usual.

Also, rinse your razor thoroughly after each use and let it dry completely. Leaving it wet in the shower creates a breeding ground for bacteria and makes the blades dull faster.

Washing Your Face With Bar Soap

Bar soap is great for your body. It's not great for your face. The skin on your face is way more sensitive and has different needs than the rest of your body.

Most bar soaps are too harsh and strip away natural oils your face actually needs. This leaves your skin either feeling tight and dry, or it overcompensates by producing more oil, which can lead to breakouts. Neither scenario is what you want.

Get a proper face wash. It doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. Just look for something that matches your skin type. If your skin tends to be oily, go for a gel-based cleanser. If it's on the dry side, pick a cream-based one. For most guys, a simple gentle cleanser works perfectly fine.

Wash your face twice a day—once in the morning and once before bed. Use lukewarm water, not hot. Hot water can dry out your skin even more.

Ignoring Your Eyebrows

Your eyebrows frame your entire face, but a lot of guys completely ignore them until they start looking like two caterpillars having a meeting in the middle of their forehead.

You don't need to go get them professionally shaped or anything fancy. Just basic maintenance makes a huge difference. Get a pair of tweezers and pluck any hairs that are clearly growing in the wrong place—especially that unibrow area between your brows.

If you've got really thick or unruly eyebrows, grab a small pair of scissors or a trimmer. Brush your brow hairs upward with a clean mascara wand or a small comb, then trim any hairs that extend way beyond the natural brow line.

The goal isn't to make them look groomed in an obvious way. You just want them to look intentional, not wild. It's one of those things where people won't necessarily notice what you did, but they'll notice you look more put-together.

Neglecting Neck Hair After Shaving

So you shave your face, look in the mirror, and call it good. But did you check your neck? A lot of guys have a clear line where they stopped shaving, and then there's this patch of stubble or longer hair below that.

When you shave, make sure you're getting your entire neck, not just the front. Go all the way down to where your neck meets your collar. Check the sides too, especially near your ears and jawline.

The back of your neck is another spot that gets forgotten. If you keep your hair short, you need to clean up that neckline regularly. Either learn to do it yourself with a handheld mirror and trimmer, or ask your barber to do it between haircuts. Most barbers will do a quick neck cleanup for free or cheap if you're a regular customer.

Makeup Tips for Different Face Shapes

Makeup is more than following trends—it’s about enhancing your natural features. One key factor in achieving a flattering look is understanding your face shape. Every face is unique, and knowing its structure allows you to highlight your strengths, balance proportions, and create harmony effortlessly. Whether you have an oval, round, square, heart, or long face, applying makeup in ways that complement your features can make a big difference in your overall appearance.

Before diving into specific techniques, take a moment to identify your face shape. Stand in front of a mirror with your hair pulled back, paying attention to your jawline, cheekbones, and forehead. Observe whether your face is longer than it is wide, has soft curves, or has a more angular structure. Once you know your shape, you can tailor your makeup to enhance your natural beauty.

Makeup Techniques for Different Face Shapes

 

For an oval face, which is often considered the ideal shape due to its balanced proportions, the focus is on maintaining harmony. Light contouring under the cheekbones enhances their natural curve without creating harsh lines. A soft blush on the apples of the cheeks, blended upward toward the temples, gives a lifted, natural appearance. Highlighting the tops of the cheekbones, the bridge of the nose, and the cupid’s bow adds subtle radiance. Oval faces are versatile, meaning eye makeup can range from simple neutral shades to dramatic eyeliner, and lip colors can be bold or understated, depending on your mood.
