Game-changing Hair Color Trends
One way of adding the spark to your new year celebrations is getting that enticing new hair color to herald a pretty new year.
Here are some options you can consider.
Baby Blond
Want to go light? But not full-on platinum? Then baby blond is something for you to consider. A warm, pale base color with some highlights can work wonders. This shade looks cool with a warm feel to it. Works for almost all skin tones.
Caramel Ombré
If you are tall brunette, caramel ombré highlights can be an option. It tends to soften up the look, with a warm feel to it. The look is dark with subtle highlights and neutral tones.
Pastel Balayage
If you want to have a color that’s fun and makes you stand out – pastel balayage is an option. The color is painted on smaller chunks of hair. Although a bit of a high maintenance color option, but worth trying if you like the vivid look.
Sandy-Beige Blond
For those who want a low-maintenance blond option – sandy beige blond can be a good option. You can try the overall hair having a tad darker neutral base, with a few brighter pieces around the face.
Dusty Copper
A good blend of neutral tones with copper shade, this hair color gives silky, warm look. A good copper base with a mixture of subtle highlights and lowlights can look awesome.
Beachy Brond
For those who like light color options – a beachy blond-brunette is a good option. Since it lets the natural color shine through, the highlights act simply as an accent. So, the look is not dramatic but subtle and impressive.
Wood Brown
This one is a good option for brunettes who prefer a dark base and want those swirling highlights of pale ash and lighter brown shades. It looks different and exciting.

Makeup is about celebrating the way you look. It’s about looking the best version of yourself by accentuating your face’s better aspects and features. All said and done – it’s about feeling happy and confident in your skin.
Pulling off the right makeup starts with understanding your face shape. You have an added to reason to smile if you are blessed with a heart shape face. Here are a few expert tips on makeup for heart shape face.
A heart-shaped face is widest in the area above the ears and around the forehead. And narrowest at the chin. Having a perfect contour at the widest part is the key to getting the overall makeup right for a heart shape face. What it does is – your forehead looks less prominent and strikes the right balance with the pointed chin.
Gently bring the contour down on the forehead. Further, contour under the cheekbones as well. Just ensure that you blend the contour all the way. The shades of bronze can be avoided. Natural tones are recommended.
It’s important to weave a harmonious look, so contour both sides of the nose and below the chin. Don’t forget highlighting the area under your eyes, the center of the forehead, the center of the nose, and about halfway along the jawline.
For highlight – use a concealer lighter than the foundation. Now apply a line down the center of the nose, two stripes under the eyes, and two stripes halfway along the jawline to give it a tad wide look to match the forehead.
Don’t go too wide in highlighting the cheeks. The cheeks need not look too wide. A bit of highlighter at the top of the cheeks is good enough for a heart-shaped face.
For blush on heart-shape face, you can follow the two-finger rule. Place the index and the middle fingers on the apple of the cheek. Now gently blush sweeping across the apples of the cheeks, and then further up the cheek. And don’t forget to blend.
For the eyes, you can try a vibrant eyeshadow to perk up the overall makeup. And rounded brows work best for heart-shaped faces.
Remember, it’s easier to balance a heart-shaped face, with the help of a bronzer on the forehead, blending down onto the temples and below the cheekbones.

So, some young girls are vying to have that absolute radiant, glistening sheen – to have that lustrous, buttery look!
Is it just the new craze over the internet, or a new trend in the making? Fingers crossed! But one thing is for sure, the buttery look makes the face and the skin look creamier and healthier.
Buttery makeup makes the skin look soft, natural, glossy, silky, and smooth – feels like butter.
It all boils down to the right know-how and a perfect makeup technique to achieve that “buttery” look.
Layering is the key to buttery makeup. Yes, multiple layers intact! You need to master the art of layering if you want that perfect buttery look.
Start with an illuminating primer to set the stage for the dewy look. Apply it on the high points of your face, smoothening it onto the rest of the skin. Try and get that opalescent sheen.
A dewy foundation is what you need. Nothing else! For a natural look, use the fingers to apply it. It may feel messy, but it does a perfect job.
For your cheeks, you need to go for liquids and creams for blush and highlighter. The idea is to keep things creamy and hydrated. For contour, you can use a powder to keep the depth in the face.

The buttery look works best on normal as well as combination skin types. For dry skin, it doesn’t set in well without the right skin prep. You need to first exfoliate any dry patches, and hydrate the skin to get that savory, buttery look.
