You've Been Applying Your Skin Care and Makeup in the Wrong Order

$

It seems like there's a new beauty invention to add to our routine every week (micellar water, lip primer, what?). And with all those bottles and tubes lining the vanity, we get a little confused about which product goes when. The sequence in which you should apply your skin care and makeup in the morning (or evening) is very important. The right layering technique will ensure you get the maximum efficacy of each product, but it's mostly intuitive. For example, sunscreen should go on after moisturizer for the best protection, and apply eye shadow ahead of foundation so any fallout won't smudge on your face. But when you start inserting facial oils and contouring powders into the mix, it's enough to make a woman's head spin! Don't worry; we're here to save you from these easy-to-make beauty mistakes. Keep reading to get everything in order from skin care to cosmetics for your most flawless face.

Why Gender Shouldn't Dictate Your Beauty Habits

We're lucky that we live in a world that has become more accepting of changing gender norms - it might not seem like it, but we've made some headway in typical cisnormative standards of beauty. We still have a long way to go, though.

As my first guest on #PrettyUnfiltered, Frankie Grande - social media personality, Broadway baby, and just in case you didn't know, big brother to Ariana Grande - stops by to discuss why your gender shouldn't dictate your beauty habits. A man wearing makeup isn't necessarily gay; a woman who shaves her face isn't less feminine. We've seen breakthroughs in gender fluidity in the news, thanks to stars like Ruby Rose, but what we really need is to realize that typical gender roles are now dead.

Check out everything Frankie has to say about how his idea of beauty has transformed over the years, and be sure to pick up his new fragrance, Frankie by Ariana Grande.

You might feel that you must have traumatized your gums or some might even believe that the teeth bleed rather than the gums. So, is it really your teeth that bleed or your gums? Your gums are the ones that bleed spontaneously or on probation. There have been many reasons as to why your gums bleed. It could be just a trauma, or maybe some hard brushing or it could even be an underlying cause that will lead your gums to break their blood vessels. Your exact reason to be ruled out could only be achieved by going to a

Go Online, Really!

Hey people! This post is a slightly different one. So if you have been reading this blog for a long time (which we hope you were), you probably already know that among other things, one thing we really like is buying stuff online.

So considering how much better Internet shopping has gotten in just a matter of few years, it almost forces us to do a post entirely about it. If you even look at price as a factor although there are many others, online retailers beat your favorite stores, malls and even exclusive outlets by a lot.



Now coming to the convenience, there may not be a lot of stores that will come to your house and pick your beauty products back in case there is some problem with it. Popular lifestyle retailer Jabong offers this service for returns and it is not even the only one who does that.

Since e-tail really took off in India a few years ago, there is a super improvement in the amount of products and brands you can purchase online. There is still of course a lot to wish for including more non-mainstream global brands, but looking at how far they have come, they will get there soon enough.

Do you like sales? Well, they really are often so much better online than anywhere else. If you really do not like the third party sellers in the marketplace kind of portals, you can stick to direct sellers who source their products directly from the makers.

I personally like being able to shop from anywhere on the go and sometimes these sites tend to give extra discounts for orders made on the app, which is nice.

I get it though, I get the fun part of going to an actual store, looking at the product, trying it out even, before purchasing it. It does feel much more fulfilling and there is no denying that. So go to a store if you must, but, only if you’re really looking for that satisfying vibe from buying from, because you can really get everything else online.

If You're Obsessed With Braids, You Need to Follow These Instagram Feeds

True story: when I first learned to french braid, I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I was so obsessed, I wanted to run around and braid the hair of all my friends (and of all my dolls), and sit for hours in front of the mirror doing my own. I was around eight, and because I was the only person I knew that could french braid, I felt superspecial.

Despite my plaiting skills, I've discovered that 16 years later, I am not the braiding genius that I thought I would be. Thankfully, there are others whose styling careers have flourished a bit more than my own - and they're sharing their work via Instagram.

From box and fishtail plaits to cornrows and woven waterfalls, the types of braids these stylists have mastered are infinite. While we're a bit envious, we're not complaining, just as long as they continue to let us ogle their creations from our iPhone screen. Get your double-tapping thumbs ready and read on.
