We all want to look like a million bucks, like the glam dolls from glossy magazines. But that does not come easy. Everyone does not have at their beck and call, makeup artists who can give you that flawless skin you have been hoping for, or those smokey eyes you saw on Mila Kunis the other day. Us lesser beings have to rely on fashion tips we get from articles like Fashion Week Beauty Survival Guide.
Look Like a Million Bucks
Classic red nails is one of those fashion trends that instantly make you feel like a movie star from the 50s. You can buy the Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Le Smoking from the Red Hautes Collection by Estée Lauder (Rs. 1,390) or a more affordable version of that from Maybelline or Elle. For a rosy glow on the cheeks you can opt for Fine-One-One lip-and-cheek illuminator by Benefit or something like the Body Shop Cheek and Lip Stain, which works both for getting that beautiful pout or flushed healthy cheeks. MAC is one brand that comes up with great products though on a slightly pricier side. For a great makeup base that protects your skin at the same time, try their Prep + Prime Face Protect SPF 50. If you are one of those who love all things herbal, Forest Essentials would be a brand worth trying. They have lotions and potions, all made from natural products. For perfect hair while travelling, you can buy the Oscar Blandi dry shampoo or the Ouidad detangler and spray on conditioner.
