Make-up - Quirky ideas and grandmom's tips
Global beauty blogger Deepica
Mutyala's makeup tips on YouTube has earned her millions of fans. Here's why
WIDE-AWAKE LOOK
Most people apply mascara outward,
going towards their ears to create a sort of `cat eye' look, but for a more
wide awake look, apply your mascara inwards. By re-directing the lashes, your
eyes will pop and look more refreshed. A great way to make your eyes twinkle is
by using a light-coloured eyeliner in the water line of your eye instead of
black. I like to use gold or silver eyeliner (depending on my outfit). One of
my favourite looks is liquid liner on the top eye, silver liner on the bottom
water line, with mascara on both top and bottom lashes. I sometimes even carry
the lighter liner into the corners of my eye to act as an eyeshadow.
COCONUT OIL ROCKS!
I recently started to use coconut
oil on my hair, body, and face. Yes, the same coconut oil South Asian women
grew up seeing their mom put in their hair. I used to rebel when my mom wanted
to put it in my hair but it's really served as a miracle product for me. I've
already noticed my hair look shinier, face feel more nourished, and body less
dry. It's funny how sometimes the simplest products can make the biggest
impacts.
BRAID IT OUT
Indian women don't play with braids
enough because they fear that it'll look too traditional. But there are so many
ways to experiment with them. Try the voluminous messy fishtail. It's a great
way to stand out in a room full of straightened or curled hair.
MIX TWO BOLDS
A lipstick can change your entire
beauty look and really make your outfit pop. It can be intimidating at first. I
started with a bold red lipstick and now do everything from plums, bright pink,
fuchsia, and orange shades. I challenge women to mix it up the key is to wear
it with confidence. You can make your lips look more full by using a lip liner
that's a shade or two darker than your lipstick and dabbing your lips with a
highlighter. The trick is called `overlining' your lips and has been done by
several celebrities recently. I like to think of it as lip contouring.
3 MUST-DOS FOR INDIAN WOMAN
Use a brow pencil:
You know that feeling you get after
getting your eyebrows threaded?
You look in the mirror and say to yourself “this completely changed my face“. That's the same effect that filling in your brows does! I think it's the product that most Indian women don't realise they need (because we tend to already have dark, thick brows) but you can't live without it once they see the difference it makes.

Finding a good
concealer:
I think if you surveyed all Indian
women and asked what their number one beauty concern is, it'd be dark circles.
Finding the right concealer makes a huge difference in your overall look. Of
course, if you still need the extra help, the red lipstick trick does wonders.
Using a highlighter illuminator:
If you want radiant skin, I have two
tips: 1) Drink tons of water and 2) Find a killer highlighter. Highlighter
looks great with Indian clothes.
It's extra accentuated because of all
the fun jewellery we wear. Deepica Mutyala
