After twelve straight hours at work, my husband tells me about this surprise birthday party “we” were throwing for a friend. What he did not realize was that the surprise was all mine! You see, I was in one of those ‘desperate for a salon appointment’ phase, and such parties always gave me nightmares. But over the years of being called the master of ‘just out of bed look’, I finally got smarter. I want to share these absolutely amazing beauty hacks with you gals who have to put up with these uncalled parties!
Psst..Darling, even I like surprise parties; you could throw a few for me sometimes!

1. Dark Intense Eyes Always Work:

All you need is the good old kajal pencil or pencil liner to get an awesome intense effect using this trick. Hold the tip in the flame and let it become softer (shouldn’t take too long, a minute maybe). Let it cool down for 15 seconds and then use it for a heavy look. Forget carrying your expensive makeup everywhere; instead burn your kajal to make intense kohl in a jiffy!

2. The Eyes And Lips Rule:

Yeah I know the basics of makeup – Do your base, do your eyes, do your lips, finish it off well. But you see, all this takes time – and some smart ladies out there figured out that we can either highlight our eyes or our lips. This simple trick works every single time and takes half the time than the whole session does. If you do both when time is a constraint, then trust me – all you are going to get is a gaudy aunty look!

3. Brighten Up The Tired Eyes:

Just realised you have tired eyes that just refuse to look smart? If you hate this look as much as I do, then this trick will get you all fresh and happy in a minute Just dab some shimmery white eyeshadow on your eyelids and line your kohl on the lower eye lid with it as well. The white helps your eye pop and gives a new life to your simple ensemble.

4. Make The Lipstick Stay:

We all enter parties with brilliant colour on our lips…. and a few drinks later? The colour seems to disappear leaving your lips bare, with only traces of the lip liner. To save yourself from this ugly embarrassment, use this little tip. Apply one coat of lipstick and dab some face powder on it. Again apply one more layer of lipstick and dab the extra on a butter paper. Now your normal lipstick is going to stay just like those super expensive all- day ones!

5. Tame The Strays:

Isn’t it frustrating when strands of hair stand out when you are fixing your hair in a bun or tying a plait? Want to mind them? Steal your brother’s hair gel (as such he only ends up looking like Mogambo using it…err..mm..just kidding). Apply the gel on a toothbrush and run it along the strays. Don’t have a brother? Buy a hair spray and do the same!
6. Base Coat For The Lazy Girl

There is one thing I can’t forgive and stand – chipped nail paint. Ditch the nail paint and stick to the base coat. Why? Because it makes nails look neat and healthy. Second, it does not make them look ‘cat scratched’ when they begin to wear off.

7. A Tale Of Bad Hair Days:

You’re having one of those terrible ‘bad hair days’ where your hair just doesn’t want to listen to you? There is this little trick in my kitty that works wonders. Just wash your hair, use conditioner and spare the shampoo. Dry it and straighten it up with a straightener. Your hair is going to behave well through the party at least!

8. Say Yes To Gloss:

Love your gloss? Use it on your eye lids and give yourself a supple appearance. Gloss on the lids make you look like a million dollar diva – don’t believe me? Try it now and please use the colourless gloss.

9. Ride The Waves:

Want some drama in your hair? Quickly plait your hair, at least 3 to 4 plaits, and run your hot straightener on them 3 to 4 times. Unwind them and see the waves and curls coming alive just like that.

10. Clean And Scrub:

All that makeup clogs your skin pores and you go from looking like Cinderella to a cinder! If you do not want to end up like that, then follow a simple routine every time you put makeup or remove it. Use exfoliating face wash and massage for five minutes all over the face, especially around nose and cheeks. This will give you more uniform complexion and spare you the ‘white as Michael Jackson’ look.
