      If you want to crank up your glam avatar a notch and a half, graphic eyeliner looks should be on your radar. The trend, a novelty of 1960, has stood the test of time and involves sketching geometric patterns (around the eye) in bold, unique hues. Steering clear of mundanity, a graphic liner is chic and bold, whether you opt for a double flick or a floating crease!  1. Chrome EyeLiner Inarguably our favourite pick for the festive season, a chrome graphic eyeliner adds depth and drama to your eyes. Use a liquid liner for a thin strobe along the upper lash line or go all out with an alluring wing – the sea of options is never-ending.

  THE WINTER BODY CARE SPECIAL There’s a nip in the air and winter clothes have started coming out of the closet. Mumbaikars are waiting with bated breath for a slight drop in temperature (we have winter too, you guys). And while you may want to stay cooped up in the warm indoors, there’s no denying that everybody loves the cool weather. However, that means dealing with chapped lips, static hair, and dry, itchy skin. Ugh! The answer, dear friends, is layering. From furry winter coats, cozy cardigans and trendy puffer jackets to moisturizers, oils and balms, layer right and you’ll be toasty and smooth-skinned all winter long. But it’s so much colder up north, you say. It’s cool but still humid in Mumbai, you moan. How do we deal with skincare based on the kind of winter we have, you ask? Shower (Gel) Power ’Tis the season to go SLS and SLES-free. These chemicals in foaming gels and bodywashes leave your skin feeling dry and rough and nobody wants that. Instead, opt for mild, soap-fr...

If an incognito tab of your mind is always planning your next nail art, you clearly agree life’s too short to have boring nails. After all, aren’t your nails always in the spotlight, no matter what you’re doing. Even right now! Enough reason to opt for vibrant nail art that speaks for itself. We’ve rounded up the best nail art designs to help you nail your manicure. NAIL ART DESIGNS 1. Gel nail art If long lasting nail paint sounds too good to be true, try dipping your talons in gel paint. Gel nail art, with its glossy finish, can last for as long as a month. If you’re down for a DIY, apply a pink gel base coat. Once the pink coat has dried, power up your creative mode and doodle with a white or black gel lacquer and a fine-tipped nail brush. Go crazy – the more abstract your designs, the quirkier the impact. Nykaa Recommends:   Sally Hansen Miracle Gel - 319 Tipsy Gypsy ,  Chambor Gel Effect Nail Lacquer - #510 2.
