Make-Up
According To Occasion
All seasons have their unique style, technique and
type of makeup that may look out of place in other climatic and
weather conditions. Winter makeup may look and prove very laughable
and difficult to manage during the monsoons while makeup for summers
may leave a person looking quite pale and colorless in a Christmas
party! This section has come up with some very handy tips to apply
appropriate makeup and look pretty in all seasons. Simple skin care
can also keep you free of many worries such as dry and cracked lips.
Use a bit of petroleum jelly and a soft bristle toothbrush to
exfoliate any dead skin from the lips. Apply vitamin E oil over them
to make them look soft and kissable. Vitamin E oil is good for your
nails, hair and skin in general too.
Acne is a common problem in summer, especially for people with oily
skin. However, they can be easily treated too. Mix one spoon of sea
salt in 4 ounces of warm water and use the solution to clean the
area and cover it for 2 to 3 minutes using a cotton ball twice or
thrice. Then pat the area dry. Sexy beach girls on screen always
have beautiful lustrous hair that you think is impossible with all
that sun, sand, wind and salt. Well, here is the trick. Braid your
hair in as many parts as you want depending how many waves and curls
you want. Then, go for a swim in the ocean and let them dry in the
breeze naturally. Open up the braids and run your fingers through
hair for the beautiful look. Champagne rinse plays up blonde
highlights while beer conditioning adds shine to hair. So, now you
know all those bottles are not only for drinking and having fun.
Thin slices of lemon in a tub of warm water remove dead skin, help
in cleansing, hydrates skin and give you a wonderful citrus aroma.
Baking soda absorbs excess moisture and works as an excellent
deodorant. Body moisturizers with shimmer and tanning lotions are
great for showing off your beautiful legs on beach. Summer and hot
weather means more skin on the show and greater use of body makeup
such as tanning powder and lotions that make arms, legs and
shoulders look more athletic and sexy. These are also great for
covering up any freckles or skin imperfection when going for bolder
fashions. Winter is the best loved season by all women for there is
no more need to worry about sweat smudging our carefully applied
makeup and also allows us to go for a lot more brighter colors and
fashions we have always wanted to play with. The color range is
largest for cold chilly winters ranging from neutrals such as white,
light grays to charcoal gray, black, taupe, navy, true blue, royal
blue, turquoise, royal purple, true green, emerald green, pine
green, hot pink, magenta, fuchsia, burgundy, blue-red, true-red and
icy colors such as icy green, icy yellow, icy aqua, icy violet, icy
pink and icy blue. Silver jewelry looks best in winters.
Monsoon Makeup
n monsoons, dense makeup has a risk of being smudged and washed
out severely and so light and sheer makeup is more advisable. Use
waterproof mascara, transfer-resistant lipsticks and waterproof
liners and may even use waterproof foundation, if it is a must for
you. Indian girls can put their 'kajal' (kohl) away until winters.
Here are some tips to keep you pretty when it is raining cats and
dogs:
- Wash and cleanse the face thoroughly and rub an ice cube on
your face for 5 to 10 minutes to lower the sweating rate so that
the makeup stays put for longer period of time.
- Women with oily skin can use astringent while women with dry
to normal skin can use toner after the ice to cool and refresh the
skin.
- Avoid foundation and prepare the base of your makeup using
powder slightly.
- Sheer film of light brown, beige, pastel or pink cream eye
shadow can be used along with a think line of eyeliner and use a
coat or two of waterproof mascara.
- Soft matte lipsticks are preferable to most ladies during
monsoons but you may use a soft brown or pink shade with sheer
gloss.
- Do not neglect to use water-based moisturizers during rainy
season to keep away the oily skin, acne and water loss due to
perspiration and sweating.
- Keep your hairstyles simple and easy. Elaborate hairstyles are
more difficult to manage and redo and limp damp hair do not look
good with them. You may use bangs and layered hairstyles instead.
- Bright jewelry is in vogue during monsoons but this is the
minimalist year, so you may opt for stone studded light jewelry.
- If you must you blush, keep it light and blend it well. Cream
blush in shades of pink, peach and brown can be used.
- During this time, keep your eyebrows in shape with threading
and hair gel for you cannot use eyebrow pencil during a downpour.
- Wash you hair regularly and massage your scalp regularly to
keep dandruff and other hair problems out of your way.
- Denims are not for monsoons; wear light cotton fabrics, capri
pants and three fourths.
- Umbrellas and raincoats are also in fashion. Buy some in
cheerful happy colors.
- White and light colors can easily get muddy, so avoid them.
- Throw your leather booths and high heels at the back and wear
sneakers and sandals.
Summer Makeup
Summer is the time to give your body the healthy tan and protect
it from the horrors of sunburn, baked and dry lips and even
sun-scorched skin cancer! There are some makeup disasters that can
happen in summer sun and a relaxing beach noon that we do not pay
adequate attention too. Here we are going to discuss them along
with some other tips to keep you pretty like sunshine:
- Avoid lip liner.
- Colors such as golden-green or mango green for eyes can be
used along with black or brown mascara.
- Dewy face with the lightest veil of translucent powder is the
right summer look.
- Dry hair frizz a lot as humidity increases and make curly hair
unmanageable. Rich deep conditioning of your hair will help to
tame your hair and don't forget to protect them from sun, sand and
wind by wearing a trendy summer hat or a baseball cap. Wax and
texturizers also help to tame frizzy hair.
- Gold shimmer under brows or across cheekbones can be a luxury
you can use.
- In case, you haven't taken the precaution already and the
damage is already done, use a foundation with the shade of your
tanned skin to cover the area under your eyes and blend it well
with the rest of the face. Then use nude or light brown eye shadow
to give them a natural look.
- Light shade of bronzer on cheekbones and chin gives you a
beautiful suntan.
- Sprinkle your feet with foot powder before wearing sandals to
avoid any blisters. If you still feel shoe-on-skin rubbing,
protect the sensitive area with a bandage before the blister
forms. To get rid of the blister, take a clean needle and sanitize
it with alcohol. Pop the blister and use cotton to clean any fluid
that comes out of it. Apply an antibiotic ointment without trying
to scrape off the skin and then cover the area with a bandage.
- Sunglasses protect your eyes but do not stop the sun from
tanning the rest of your face, resulting in eyes with paler skin
around it than the rest of the face. To avoid this, generously rub
sunscreen with SPF 30 with a broad spectrum over your entire face
and body every two hours.
- The only thing you can do to get rid of this yellowish tint is
to scrape the surface of your nail with the help of the
finest-grain side of the block file and use the clear UV-resistant
topcoat for protection and shine.
- The sheer pastel, beige and pink nail polish acquires a
yellowish tint after being exposed to sun for two days or more. To
avoid this, use a clear nail gloss with inbuilt UV protection
topcoat and do not forget to rub sunscreen on nails too after
every two hours, just like the rest of your body.
- Use eyeliner pencil of slate gray, warm chocolate or navy
shades with a light hand.
- Use gel on your hair and use only the fresh razor with triple
blades to shave bikini line to avoid any unsightly rashes. You can
use 1% hydrocortisone cream to any rash to cure it and hide any
redness in the area by using tinted facial moisturizer.
- Warm blond and naturally medium brown hair with highlights may
acquire coppery shades in sun due to oxidation. Thus, always wear
a hat or scarf while venturing outdoors. Hair color gloss can help
you to achieve the shine again.
- Warm, sunny, bright blush can be used.
- Wear only natural nude shades as lip colors while going out to
the beach. If you cannot resist the temptation of using liquid
lipstick while on the honeymoon in a tropical island, keep it
inside the cooler for your soda or carry it in a pot or tube with
a wand. If your bullet is going soft, try to cool it a little by
placing it in a fridge or near an air conditioner.
Winter Makeup
There are so many people who dread winter for the mere reason that
it brings a challenge to maintaining healthy and well-moisturizer
skin. Extra care and attention is needed during the winter season,
because during the cold months, the oil glands situated just below
the surface of the skin tend to become relatively inactive and
produce less moisture than usual. The wind and cold conditions
that it brings along only adds to the dryness. With the onset of
winters, your makeup also needs to go major change.
Velvety shades are the way to go for a winter woman. You need to
look more glamorous and more polished during the cold months of
the year. The matte look and understated shades, such as coffee,
chocolate and smoky shades for eyes and berry tones for lips and
cheeks, replace the fresh summer face. Gloss is in vogue again and
so are our beloved fruity and spicy tones of cosmetics. In case
you want to explore more about make up in winters, make use of the
tips given in the following lines.
Makeup Tips For Winters
- Use blackberry and copper color polish to darken your nails.
It is perfect for the season and looks best on short,
just-to-your-fingertips nails.
- Try colored mascara like navy, burgundy, and auburn that gives
lashes a subtle color and some depth as well, without looking too
obvious.
- Winters calls for more defined eyes. So, you should use a
chocolate brown or charcoal liner along your upper lashes.
- It is a good idea to opt for neutral shades of makeup, such as
light browns, grays, pinks and purples.
- If you want to draw attention to only one area of your face
during winter, it is best to put emphasis on your eyes. A smoky
eye look will work well during this time of year.
- Keep your lips moisturized in order to prevent them from
becoming cracked and dry. It is a good idea to apply a lip-gloss
throughout the day.
- A bit of sheen on eyes can be used too for a change,
especially if you are using nude shades on your lips.
- Either your moisturizer or your foundation should have
broad-spectrum sun protection.
- A light, matt foundation as well as a tinted powder, with a
slight shimmer, look great in winters.
- For fragrance, it is best to stick to essence of essential
oils, spices and other natural aromas.
- Smokey eyes look best in winters. For sultry effect, you can
use eye shadows in cinnamon and coffee shades.
- A sheer layer of creamy blush-on can boost up the subtle
makeup look that you adopt in winters.
- Tinted lip balms, in honey, blackberry and red currant tones,
look great in the winter season.

make-up. If you know your skin-type, it would be much easier for
you to buy the right make-up products.
