A few beauty tips and tricks for Indian women.

• To hide spots on your face, get a natural skin tone eyeliner pencil and cover the spot. Apply foundation evenly all over your face. The spot won`t show.
• Lipsticks are expensive. Make sure you don`t waste even the tiniest bit of it. When the "tube" has been used down to the bottom, carefully remove what is left of the "wax", mix it with just a little petroleum jelly in a container. You`ve got your very own lip-gloss.
• Long lasting lipsticks can help heal dry lips. They have a built in moisturiser that helps keep the lips soft and attractive.
• Lighter colours make lips look bigger. Dark colours make lips look smaller. Pearl lipsticks enhance imperfections, therefore, best avoided especially by the older generation.

• To make your lipstick stay on longer - first brush talcum powder on your lips. Apply first coat of lipstick. Blot it carefully. Brush on more talcum powder. Follow it up with another layer of lipstick.
• If your foundation is too dark, mix it with a little moisturiser on the back of your hand and it will lighten.
• If your nail varnish congeals, try adding a few drops of nail varnish remover to thin it down.
• Put your eyeliner into the freezer before sharpening; this gives a sharper point.
• When plucking eyebrows at home, place a hot flannel on your eyebrow, pull skin taut and pluck. The heat makes it easier and less painful.
