There is no age to learn something new, and the pandemic-induced lockdowns have already taught us that. Makeup, especially, can be made into a fun activity, which can be perfected with practice. If you are new to the makeup space, worry not, because unlike other skills, if you slip or make a mistake, you can redo the process. Elton Steve Vessoaker, the brand director of Jean Claude Olivier, India says this is the best part about makeup - that is is not permanent. "To be honest, doing makeup on your own is actually quite simple; just the right tips and tricks can make everything easier," he says. He lists some steps; read on. * Everyone wants that flawless look. That is possible with a simple product like a BB cream which is a tinted moisturiser. It’s extremely easy to apply and for those who need extra coverage, they can apply a little bit of concealer in their problem areas and blend. * Also recommended are skin tints. It's a cream-based blush that can just be applied to the apples of the cheeks just with a finger to give you a blushing look or a bronze tone for a sun-kissed finish. You can use it on the eyes, too. * Kohl or colourful eye pencils add a pop of colour and definition to the eyes. Smudge with your fingers for a 'smokey' finish. Try a blue or grey for a night out or a romantic dinner. * Don’t forget to leave the house with loads of mascara. Your lashes should make a statement from the moment you enter any room. * Lipsticks now are readily available with easy application wands and are long-lasting, so no smudging. * Tinted lip balms are easy to use and easy to touch-up. * For those nervous about doing their eyebrows, blading is the latest technique to get your eyebrows done and it lasts you a few months. "Most importantly, remember that a little effort goes a long way in creating an effortless makeup look," says Vessoaker. 📣 For more lifestyle news, follow us on Instagram | Twitter | Facebook and don't miss out on the latest updates!
