TALKNG TRENDS

:: Makeover for middle age ::

Eyecandy’s fashion columnist Sakib Chishti provides useful beauty, health and grooming tips for both men and women

The writer is a professional hair and makeup artist


I am sure you all love the makeovers as much as you all love fashion and beauty tips so I thought why not write about another makeover for my lovely readers! I have been repeatedly emphasizing on taking care of yourself. It’s not only necessary for a specific age; it’s for everyone. Whatever your age you should keep on upgrading yourself according to the changing trends. Looking younger or looking older was never an issue, the idea is to look elegant, keeping your age and your lifestyle in mind.

And once again, don’t think that because you are married and have kids then you have lived your life and now no ones going to bother if you look nice or not. I think you need to be pampered more than anyone else in your family as you pamper everyone at home. Therefore our today’s makeover is of a housewife who thought that it’s high time she should revamp herself. So she got a complete makeover and I am sure you will love the outcome.

I started with her hair and gave her a nice layered haircut with a short flick. Whenever you want a haircut consult with your stylist about what would suit your face cut as sometimes we forget about ourselves and its not just your face cut, your physique nor your life style that matters when it comes to getting a new look; as it’s not a question of just getting a new style, you should be able to maintain it too. Someone who is not too finicky about blow-drying and styling should always go for simpler and hassle free dos.

So my subject has a round face and I gave her a lot of forward layers as they cover the sides of the face and give it a slimmer look.

Then I started with her makeup. The base should be very close to your skin and it shouldn’t look very obvious. As for my taste, I always try to match the skin tone and if someone wants to look fairer then a tone or two brighter then the original complexion will do. Always try using pan stick rather then using liquid foundation as with our weather conditions the stick will last longer. To fix it properly use a fine layer of face powder on top of it and trust me it will last longer then any other foundation base.

Contouring is a very easy way to camouflage the unwanted areas of your face like heavy cheeks and specially the nose, since it’s rare to find someone who’s happy with her nose. So contouring plays an important role to shape it up. And then, how can I forget —- double chin!!! You can also get rid of that with contouring. Therefore, in the end contouring is a must.

Eyes are my favorite part of the face. Making small eyes bigger and making nice eyes look nicer is so much fun. So this time I wanted to go with soft pinks and to complement the eyes I used dark charcoal corners which were nicely blended with the pinks and silver to make the eyes prominent yet soft and subtle.

For lips I chose to go soft too, as the whole look was very pink and then my client’s eyes were really very pretty, so I decided to give subtle pink to the lips, thus the eyes could remain prominent. I am sure after looking at the pictures you would agree with me that the whole look is fabulous.

For hair I went for a nice blow dry and made the hair cute and prominent. Voila! There you have a revamped version of my client right in front of your eyes and I am sure you all like the new look as much as she liked it. So ladies, it’s never too late or rather better late then never. Dress up nicely and keep your self updated as life comes once and there is no fun in living with regrets.
