Eyeliners – Defining the eyes

It is said that eyes are the most important part of your face. And the new saying is eyeliners are the most important part of make -up. The eyeliner defines the eyes in such a manner that they become very attractive and glamorous. As our eyes are very sensitive for anything so an utmost care should be taken while selecting the eyeliner. Rather all cosmetics should be selected carefully. One should always go for the reputed companies when buying the cosmetics. The local cosmetics may be dangerous and harmful for your skin.



Eyeliners have now become an inseparable part of Indian fashion trends. Earlier the eyeliners were used by women only when they had to attend some special function. But now a days it has become a fashion to apply the eyeliner in casual days also. These liners are available in markets in two forms, that is, the solid and the liquid form. Out of these two forms one should prefer using the liquid state of liner as it is quite handy and less cluttered too.

Applying the eyeliner in a proper may be difficult for few women but with the right process and few practise sessions one becomes quite used to of that. The right process is to dip the applicator in the liner and then begin applying it from the middle of the eye. This process should move further for extending the eye line. The line should be of equal thickness. You may also use the cotton bud or the eyebrow brush for extending the line. A cotton pad should always be kept under the eyes before beginning any kind of eye make-up.

Casual Hairstyles

Fashion is not only about how you dress and what you wear. It adds a lot more in it. Hair add a significant look to your overall personality. Probably you do not want to look over dressed or out of place. Choosing the right hairstyle according to a certain occasion can add wonders to your look. Here we discuss some of the common and casual hairstyles.

The ponytail is probably the epitome of casual hair. It is very simple and easy to do. Though the ponytail is a very easy hair-do but a little carelessness can spoil the whole look. The way you tie this ponytail defines easily that whether you are a sleek chic, a casual college going girl or the one who has just come from a messy day of gym. The foremost criteria for this hairstyle is that you should have shampooed hair else the oily hair are just imperfect for the pony look. A simple barrette or a hair band can be used to neatly secure the hair. One should always try to avoid the bulky scrunches. The extra big barrettes should also be avoided as they spoil the graceful appearance and gives an over-done kind of look.



The other casual hairstyle after the ponytail is to wear the hair loose with just a small section pinned back from the face. This hairstyle is very appropriate for those occasions when you want to wear your hair down but do not want the loose hair fall into your forehead or eyes. The simple small or the little clutches can used for this style. The large clutches or the clips just appear unflattering and distracting. The bobby pins can also be used to secure the hair. These pins should be used in an even row. This style also gives a very cool and casual and yet elegant look. A large variety of baby clips and pins are now available these days in the market. These colourful clips add an extra zing to the casual hairstyles.

Yet another excellent hairstyle is tying the braids. These braids can be simple or complex. The right barrettes should be selected for the braids. The colourful elastic bands can be used in the braids which add more liveliness to the hairstyles. The pony beads are also a very creative way to embellish the braided hair. The small butterfly clips can also be used by those who have got very thick and long hair.

Power Dressing

Everyone wants to create a fashionable impression and your dress is the first thing with which they assess your personality. You have to take extra care about your dress as it is that which shows what you are. Especially if you are going to meet your date at a restaurant, attending a wedding party or attending an interview, you will fell nervous about which dress you wanna wear to create a better impression about you.

Choose clothing that fits your body type well. You need not follow the current trend, instead follow your own trend, because you know well what works better for you.

Choose clothing that enhances your look and don't wear anything that detracts from it. If you have a unique personality, let others look at your personality through your interactions rather than just through your clothing. You should never misunderstand that your outfit is the only thing that others notice to know your personality.

Make sure to keep one go-to outfit always in your wardrobe that fits well for you and looks great on you. If you don't have any time to make a selection or indecisive about what looks good on you, you will have a great option with you. You'll look more confident and can have more fun, if you know it well that your dress looks great.

If you have an expensive taste, don't reveal it through your outfit on your first date itself. You can wear expensive clothing in future. Don't make him feel that he has to look for a second job to bear the costs of your clothes.

Dress appropriately according to the kind of occasion you're going to. When going out for casual drinks, pass on skin-baring dress. When going to a cocktail party, don't wear corduroys.
Choose clothing that makes you seem to be of high maintenance. Most men don't like their girl-friends or wives taking more time to prepare for going out.

It's good to look sexy with your dress. But you have to be tasteful about it. Jeans and T-shirt can be as sexy as a skintight and low-cut top.

It is always better to wear one interesting thing than several different things. Because one thing makes one best statement about your personality, and too many things makes too many statements. If you are wearing many trendy things at once, one cannot notice your individual style other than a mess of accessories.

Dress up according to your age. If a middle aged woman wears a miniskirt it looks awkward whereas the same looks good on a young girl.

Fashion Shoes

Right shoes that fit well and that can prevent any form of injury is essential for exercise. When it comes to shoes for exercise, the choices are overwhelming. But what is important that you should use shoes that fit well and feel comfortable. The right shoes offer both support and flexibility where you need it. And, they protect your bones, joints, and muscles from the toes to the top, keeping your feet in healthy positions and absorbing shock.

If you are a walker then go for walking shoes. But even for walking, many people prefer running shoes. Running shoes provide plenty of cushioning, which can feel good to walkers. In fact, if you have high arches in your feet, running shoes may even be better because of their extra flexibility in the front (toe) half of the shoe. Running shoes are also geared for heel-to-toe movement. If you engage in a variety of athletic activities, you should go for a pair of cross-training or general purpose athletic shoes.

Below listed are a few guidelines that you should keep in mind while shopping for shoes for exercise:
Shop for shoes in the afternoon or evening, when your feet are at maximum size.
Wear the socks you normally wear with athletic shoes to assure the right fit.
Try on both shoes. Most people's feet vary a bit in size from each other, so you should be sure the shoes fit your largest foot comfortably.
Check for space at the end of your longest toe. There should be enough to let you move without pinching.
If you're a woman and your feet are wide, try men's shoes. These are usually cut wider.
Move around in the shoes, and insist that they feel like a perfect fit right away. If they don't, keep looking.
Don't shop by price alone, but do look for materials that breathe and good workmanship.
Replace running shoes after 500 miles, walking shoes after 1,000 miles, and aerobics shoes after about a year of regular use.

Fashion for men

Here are some clothing style tips for men that will provide guidelines regarding the right man fashion clothing for different body type. These man-clothing tips can be a great help in adorning you but you must follow the advice seriously.

Short waist men should avoid wearing trousers / jeans at waist. Low waist jeans are not the right type for you. Tucking your top would not be a very good option. Pullovers are apt for your personality. Short lengthy tank tops are a total no because they tend to highlight your short waist. Contrast concept wont look very good as it would interfere with the vertical flow. So a combo of pink shirt and black trouser should not be chosen. Ask your tailor to keep an inch higher on waist while taking measurement.

Long waist men need to do things the other way round when compared to short waisted guys. Guys your perfect fashion style is low waist jeans with a contrasting shade T-shirt tucked inside. Double breast jacket is just ideal for you so as to prevent people's eyes from falling particularly on your legs. So boys now are you understanding how to divert people's attention? Opt for belts with a big buckle.

Men with flat butts should firstly make sure that they wear proper fit pants. Straight leg trousers are just perfect for you because they divert the attention from back and camouflage your body feature. On the contrary there are men with big butts. For them it's important to wear proper undergarments,

If you have a large belly, your wardrobe should have a combination of light fabric and dark color. Light shades tend to accentuate your big belly. You should make it a point to wear a vest as it prevents loose skin flow from taking place. Long sleeve T-shirt is the right kind for you. Avoid low waist jeans.

Even if you are dressed in ethnic clothing there are many options available with you but again as mentioned earlier all types are not meant for you. Shorter men and fleshy guys should wear knee long kurtas. Tall guys can opt for calf length kurta also.
So guys by now you must have got a clear idea as to what would suit you so follow these tips and disguise your bad body features. We hope that next time you go shopping you'll be focused as to what you want & not get lured by styling or designing of apparel.
