Hello !!! Today I am going to share an intersting face mask which boasts of its indregients that helps fight acne and help you achieve a flawless complexion and fight acne.

Its Consists of three ingredients :

1. Actiavted Charcoal : Activated charcoal draws bacteria, poisons, chemicals, dirt and other micro-particles to the surface of skin .Charcoal is not metabolized, adsorbed or absorbed by the body,.

2. Vitamin E capsules : Since vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin, it is easily absorbed into the skin. It fades away scars and dark spots left by acne by promoting tissue repair. Vitamin E can also help keep the oil produced by the skin for longer by preventing their oxidation in air.

3. Rose Water : Rose Water is a a natural toner , hence helps to keep oil at bay from your face .

Now let us dig in how to make this mask :

1. Take a spoon of activated charcoal powder in small bowl .

2. Puncher a Vitamin E capsule and pour the drops in activated charcoal powder and then add a pich of tumeric powder .

3. Now at last pour in a spoon of Rose water and Mix all the ingredients well using a face mask brush.

4. Apply it on your face and neck and it will be dried in 5-10 mins .After that Rinse it off with lukewarm water .

5. Do not use this mask more than twice a week . But soon you will start seeing results :)

Tutorial of Beautiful Pink eye makeup

in eye makeup tutorial, eyebrow, indian makeup, makeup looks - on 1/07/2018 01:42:00 am - No comments

hello ladies !!!This is a step by step makeup tutorial with pictures to help you achieve this look. The main picture was taken in natural outside light while the others were taken on my makeup desk that's why they are little dull.

1. You need to first prepare a base for eye makeup so that it can stay longer and also colors will show properly.

2. Take a scotch tape and apply it on your outer eye as shown in the picture.

3. Then take any light color as the transition, apply it on your crease which will give a beautiful curve look to your eye.

4. Take any bright Pink color eyeshadow using I am using Miss Claire with any fluffy eye brush and apply it from middle to corner of your eyes till the tape.

5. Now grab any white shimmer shade, I am using Juvia's Masquerade pallete with the help of your finger and apply it from your inner corner of your eye till the mid to merge it with pink color.
Shimmery shades mostly work better with your fingers.

6. Apply the shades in the same order on your lower lashline as well and remove the tape.

7. Now apply a winged liner and fill in your eyebrow gaps.

8. Finish it with a generous coat of Mascara.
