Tips for Winter Make-up

By Shahnaz Husain

In winter, apply moisturizer before foundation. For the day, apply sunscreen lotion. Wait for 5 minutes and then apply foundation.

Use creamy foundation in winter. For oil skin, add a drop of water to the foundation, for lighter coverage. Blend with a damp sponge for an even finish. Apply foundation on the forehead and on either side of the nose. Using a damp sponge spread it evenly and smoothly outwards. Then apply it on the chin and smooth it along the jaw line, blending slightly upwards, towards the cheeks. Also, go downwards to the neck. Blend well and see that no lines of demarcation are visible.

Then apply powder to “set” the foundation. After applying powder, use cotton wool or a clean brush to dust off the excess. For winter, use creamy eye shadow, rather than powdery ones, especially if the skin is very dry. Creamy eye shadows are more difficult to apply, but they will not cause dryness and will give a better effect in winter.

Use glossy lipstick, rather than matte ones for winter. Matte lipsticks cause further dryness. Use a lip pencil to outline the lips and then fill in with color, using a lip brush. After applying lipstick, use a colorless lip gloss to add shine and a wet look. This is more appealing in winter.

In some cases, there is a problem of dark lips. This may become more obvious in winter. One lip may be darker than the other. To help lighten the color of the lip, you should apply an almond cream or almond oil and leave it on all night. While applying lipstick, apply a dark brown color on the lighter-colored lip. Then apply the lipstick of your choice on both lips. This will help to make your lipstick even-colored on both lips.

A Lip Balm will help to keep the lips in good condition in winter.

Pay attention to the following tips for winter make-up:

Apply a moisturizing lotion before foundation. Wait for 10 minutes and then apply foundation.

Avoid using excess powder. It gives a dry look to the face in winter.

Blending is important.

Make sure that the powder does not settle in the lines and creases, especially around the eyes.

Every night, after cleansing, apply almond cream or pure almond oil on the lips, leaving it on overnight.

Avoid very dark coloured lipstick, like dark brown or dark maroon.

In reality, not only are Natural and Organic different, but also there is a difference between ‘Organic’ & ‘Certified Organic’. At AMAzing EARTH, we develop certified organic cosmetics that contribute towards the development of a sustainable world. Our production methods are environmentally friendly, and also do not harm any animal or human health. We use 100% natural ingredients and respect biodiversity.

Soon this amount is going to reach $10-15 as men are really getting into skincare and hair care. AMA Herbal strives to produce men’s grooming products that are economical in addition to being sustainable. Although it was very challenging to meet the expectations of Indian consumers that have been set by non-organic and synthetic products in terms of efficacy and pricing, AMA Herbal is used to meeting that challenge since 1996. We are glad that we are able to provide effective, safe products at an attractive price point. The world aspires to use organic but most of the times trust and price pull the customer back, our brand is Trust-able as certified organic and has a competitive price with non-organic products of the category.

Mrunal Jain: I love everything about Gujarat

Sooryavanshi actor Mrunal Jain, who has played lead roles in TV shows like Uttaran and Bandhan, was recently in Vadodara for an event and shared his fondness for Gujarat.
The actor was last seen on the small screen in the show Nagarjuna-Ek Yoddha in 2017.

‘I GORGE ON FAFDA-JALEBI WHENEVER I AM IN GUJARAT’

Mrunal, who was born in Ahmedabad, loves everything about Gujarat. He shared, “We moved from Ahmedabad to Mumbai when I was five years old. I have many relatives in Gujarat and I love Gujarati food. I gorge on fafda-jalebi whenever I am here and I am also fond of Kathiyawadi cuisine. Recently, I visited the Statue of Unity and it was a great experience. Be it language or food, I love everything about Gujarat.”
‘FOR ACTORS, IT’S IMPORTANT TO KEEP POSTING CONTENT ON SOCIAL MEDIA’
Several TV actors have said that these days, some producers are casting actors based on their popularity on social media. Asked about it, Mrunal said, “It’s a bitter truth and at times, good actors who don’t have many social media followers are not being selected for roles. However, I also feel that it’s important for actors to keep posting content on social media. It can help you to connect with more people.
