Did it ever happen that while doing make up, you put a lot of foundation and you end up looking like a cake! Or, perhaps feathered and matte lipstick shades made you look like you have cracked lips! Unfortunately and unlike celebs, most of us can’t afford hiring a make- up pro on a daily basis and therefore, we need to know these make up hacks to keep looking beautiful wherever we go and overcome makeup mishaps:

To get professional tips and help for face and beauty, some of the best beauty services in Malaysia are provided by Slimming Sanctuary Sdn Bhd, Soul Balance Beauty & Wellness, Identity Beauty Gallery, and Carol’s Beauty Enterprise and more such on Groupon. This February, get additional 12% off on a wide range of Groupon sponsored beauty services using these Groupon coupons.

1. If you had put a lot of foundation, here’s what you got to do – take a drop of a lightweight moisturiser on your fingertips and dab it on your face in a circular motion. Next, take a dampened sponge and wipe off the excess foundation from your face to make your face look natural.

2. If you have watery eyes, you have the highest probability to get smeared mascara. You can use a tissue or preferably an oil- based make up remover to pick up the irritating residues. Later, you can disguise it with the help of a concealer.
3. Bronzers are a great way to add that extra sun- kissed glow on your face, but, most of us fail to bring this effect. The correct way to apply a bronzer is to apply it in the motion of ‘3’.
4. Using factory provided eyebrow pencils can make your eyebrows look dark, devilish and unnatural! To give that natural depth to your eyebrows, take the eyebrow colour on an angled brush and slowly stroke it from the inside to the outside of your eyebrows (following the shape) whilst filling in those empty spaces.

5. Primers are a great way to fix your foundation and keep your look last long, but, only if you do it right. If your foundation is silicone based, make sure you only use a silicone based primer. Buy a primer and a foundation of the same brand and the same series, so that they have somewhat similar ingredients and can effectively complement each other.

Though one of the most sensitive, our ‘skin’ is one of the most vital organs that saves us from external damages. Our skin ages with time, but, airborne toxins like smog, dirt and dust can rapidly intensify the skin ageing process. Reason: These airborne toxins settled on our skin react with the sun’s UV rays and form free radicals (highly charged oxygen molecules) that rapidly damage the collagen and the skin cells. Here are the 5 ways with which you can easily protect your skin from pollution and slow down the ageing process:

1. Wash your skin daily.

Every morning and night, rinse your skin thoroughly with plain water. Follow it up with a good or preferably an herbal face wash, an exfoliator/ scrubber, a cleanser and a moisturiser.

2. Blocking Pollution

Yes, you can at least limit your exposure to pollution! A good sunscreen (at least SPF 30) can limit the overexposure to harmful UV rays. Layer it up with a moisturiser, which can create a barrier between your skin and the free radicals. If you have to go out on the streets, don’t forget to carry a scarf and sunglasses to block pollution and protect your face.

Get Sunglasses, Scarfs and all beauty products from brands like Mango, Giordano, River Island, Carlo Rino and more at Zalora and bid a goodbye to pollution and harmful UV rays. With Zalora coupons, you get up to 15% off plus RM 25 off on your next purchase.

3. Limit exposure to Chlorine

Tap water consists of excess amount of chlorine that can cause skin damage. Whenever you wash your face, make sure you use only filtered water. Limit your exposure to swimming pools as well.

4. Water and Omega 3

All of us know that having plenty of water throughout the day not only washes off the toxins and free radicals from your body, but, it also keeps the skin moisturised and hydrated. Optimum perspiration keeps your skin plum and free from wrinkles. On the other hand, Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids are well known to shield the effect of harmful UV rays. Omega 3 can be found in kidney beans, walnuts, salmon, oysters, spinach and other green veggies.

5. Antioxidants

Anti-oxidants can neutralise the effect of free radicals. Vitamin C and E can even reverse your age spots that are triggered by pollution. Carrots, tomatoes, bell peppers, squash and other green vegetables are some of the antioxidant rich foods.

Did your eyes popped up over that dress which Angelina wore at the red carpet? Dressing up like a celebrity does not always require you to be rich and beautiful, what it truly requires is ultra- smart brain work. Here are the five essential tips that will help you to dress up for a party like a celebrity:

1. The laid- back look

Be yourself – that’s what most celebrities boast out through their outfits. Just like Kristen Stewart, a simple tee and jeans with boots and jacket can create that deadly teen- party look. With this look, you can be assured of both comfort and style. The look is best suitable for night/ pub parties, friend/ family get-together and casual birthday parties.

2. Accessories speaks it all

Whether it is Johnny Depp or Brad Pitt- no celebrity look is complete without a pair of dashing sunglasses. Agree? Whatever you wear (except for wedding parties), some of these accessories are a must have in your party essentials wardrobe list – sunglasses, boots, wrist watch, loud finger rings and earrings and of course a matching clutch or wallet to hold all your touch up stuff for the party.

3. Flaunt your curves

It’s considered quite unethical to show off your curves at the workplace – so, why miss even a single chance of showing off your hard earned curves at an informal party! Just like the perfect curves of Beyoncé, you can easily create this style by putting on a Bodycon dress or perhaps a gown, for all grand occasions. Match it up with a choker and a pair of stilettoes to complete the look.

4. Style your hair

Whether you keep that messy look or give it perfection with curls and waves- doing the right hair that compliments your dress is of prime importance. If it is a wedding ceremony you should prefer making buns that can suitably compliment your gown and if you are intending to give a cool look at the bachelorette party, then let your open natural hair do the talking!

Get the perfect hair done for the party with the latest range of cosmetics, hair dryers, hair straighteners and more from Lazada and grab a discount of up to 70% off with exclusive deals, using Lazada coupons.
