For many of us, beauty takes on a back seat in the scorching Indian summer. Finding the right makeup trend to suit these sweaty months is difficult for most. That's because conventional makeup tends to look cakey and sometimes bleed during the messy Indian summers. If you face similar problems while stepping out, I have some easy tips to make these hot months breezy and fashionable. You don't have to try hard, just a few basics and you'll be the talk of the town when you step out in your stylish summer-ready avatar.
1. FRESH BEAUTY: As I mentioned before, most makeups tend to look cakey during summer. Even your everyday foundation will look heavy and mask like during our day outing. I therefore advice to shun your foundations creams for the time being. Instead, use a lightweight moisturiser with a slight tint. This will keep your skin hydrated and give your skin a natural glowing sheen without going overboard. When going for dressy events, opt for 'Nude' makeup with special highlight to your eyes. This look gives you a fresh flawless radiance perfect for the hot summers.
2. UPDOs and BRAIDS: As you very well know how messy leaving your hair open can be during summers. And I also know you don't want to tie you beautiful hair into a boring ponytail, no matter how tempting that is considering the heat. Well there is an easy solution to this dilemma-BRAIDS. Braids look so chic and stylish and they are so in. There are plenty of styles to choose from and you can be sexy as ever. They look cute during the day and chic in the evening. Alternatively you can try out updos for dressy affairs. Accessorize with light hair accessories and you'll rock the glam look.
3. POP SOME COLOR: Dress you in cool cheerful colors to beat the summer heat. Blues and greens looks extremely refreshing for the day out. You can also try pretty pinks, yellows and oranges for a young cheerful look. With a nude makeup, add a splash of color by applying bold beautiful lip colors like rose, pink, orange etc. Stay away from heavy maroons, browns etc.
4. EYE-FY: Whereas black remains the first choice for eye-liners in all seasons, colors like blue, green and white look extremely cool during summer. You can also try out asymmetric designs for your eyeliners for a bold look. But don't forget to remove your makeup completely before going to bed.
5. HAPPY FEET: Don't ignore your feet during summer as this is the time when you can flaunt your lovely feet in strappy sandals and slippers. But before you can flaunt, you have to take good care of your feet. Scrub your feet every 3-4 days to remove the dirt and grime. Olive oil with sugar is an ideal home-made scrub for your feet. Use youthful colors for you nails or use fun nail-art and step out in style.
So you see, it's not that difficult to be a summer diva and be stylish even during the scorchingly hot Indian summers. So, don't fret and make a style statement with these simple tips when you step out as the diva you are. Do write to me with your feedback and also if you have some tips of your own. :)
