Make Up Your Mind – 3 Wedding Day Makeup Looks

[ Today's article is a guest post from Nichola Johnson of Phase Eight.

It's about 3 different makeup looks you can choose for your wedding day. So check it out....and let us know which one is your favorite! ]

When it comes to planning your wedding day, the dress, venue and makeup are the top of the list. There are tons of examples of looks, guides and how-to’s to get that perfect “bridal” makeup just right, so how can you be sure that what you’re looking for is right for you?

Be Classical In Natural

The traditional wedding look usually involves sweeping bronzes and creams with a little build-up of soft eyeliner for a natural look, or a flick of black liner for something a bit more precise. It’s easy to get this look, but don’t be fooled by its simplicity. Often, the natural or classic look needs a bit more attention and layering so that you don’t look washed-out on photographs. 

It also relies on you knowing your exact skin type too – a slightly darker foundation stands out, while a foundation that is too pale doesn’t do its job. Even if you are not having a makeup artist for your day, consider visiting an expert who can colour match your skin. It doesn’t matter if you prefer a slightly darker tone in your makeup palette, as foundation is about layering and blending so it’s important you don’t over-do it.

Get the look:

Use pale golds, soft browns and creams on the lid. Use concealer to highlight under your eyes and cheekbones. Natural pinks are great for adding a dash of prettiness on your cheeks and lips.

SUMMER SERIES: Hair

This is the 2^nd part of the summer care series. Read the previous article about summer skin care here.

Let’s talk about hair……hair in summer.

I don’t know about yours, but my hair feels like straw in summer. The scalp becomes greasy if I do not wash it every other day, and the hair turns into a lifeless ball of frizz when I wash it every other day!

For those who do not know it already, my hair is curly, dry and prone to frizz. It's not chemically treated or saloon highlighted.

To manage the unwanted hair-situation, I take few steps to ensure extra care for my locks.

Let me share the tips with all of you as well!

Dessert for your hair or Banana Hair Mask!

Hey everybody!

Today's article is another of my quirky-at-home experiment.... a Banana-Egg-Coffee dessert...errr...hair mask!

I have been using this mask whenever my hair feels dry, lackluster and damaged...and it really helps!

This mask is great for :

Brunettes.

Dry-coarse hair.

Curly and kinky curly hair.

Frizz prone hair.

Damaged hair.

SUMMER SERIES: Skin

I live in a “Summer-Special” city where the scorching heat surpasses the chilliness of the Air Conditioner, where tanning is not optional but a must, if you go out in the sun (even if you lather on sunscreen lotions) and summer here seems endless!

....Well, it’s just my opinion….but people living in Dhaka will not deny the above “summer facts”!

Summer sun in artist's eyes

This summer season, I am making separate articles for summer care including skin, hair, makeup and health & nutrition.

Today’s article is about summer skin care.

If you are reading this post thinking that it will be another Beauty/Makeup related article, I advice you to turn back....Because this article contains graphic images...

This is a story of the loss of hundreds of people in the Savar Tragedy. 

Those who have no idea what I am talking about, let me tell you the incident in short. A building in the area of Savar (link here) collapsed with thousands of people inside. The workers were forced to work in the faulty structured building at the day of the incident.

They were ordinary people who made the clothes we wear everyday... (may be you are wearing one right now!). 

These people earn a meager sum of money,  work in unhealthy and inhumane places.....and die like this....alone, scared, in dark and a pillar crushing their bodies!

This is what the building looked like before collapsing....

And this is how it looks now...

More than 2400 people have been rescued....almost 400 people are found dead....but the search is still going on for the live and dead ones..

And this last picture just crushed my soul.... May God give them peace in afterlife!
