Latest Beauty Tips and Tricks

The beauty industry is always changing, and every day is an opportunity to learn a trick or two. If you have been out of the game for a while or are just getting started, here are the latest beauty tips and tricks.

• Please don't touch your face unless it's necessary. Touching your face can ruin makeup and also leave germs behind. *
• Setting spray is a lifesaver. If you struggle with makeup coming off before you get home, you should invest in a setting spray. This will ensure your makeup stays on.
• Condition your hair before going for a swim. Conditioners protect your hair from chlorine.
• Sunscreen is your best defense against ageing skin. Never step out without applying some sunscreen.
• Dry shampoo comes in very handy when you are in a hurry.
• If you want perfume to last longer, tap it on your wrists instead of rubbing it. The latter causes it to wear off faster.
• Avoid using too much concealer. Yes, it may hide dark circles. But it will make you look unnatural and older.
• If you have a combination skin type, use multiple face masks to deal with various issues simultaneously.
• Once you are done applying lipstick, put a clean finger in your mouth and pull it out. This may look weird, but it prevents lipstick stains on teeth.
• Moisturize your entire body. It will make your skin suppler.
• A facial cleanser is a must-have if you want glowing skin.
• Freeze your eyeliner before application. This prevents it from crumbling when you are putting it on.
• Chamomile tea isn't just for relaxing your mind. It can be used to lighten hair.
• Replace sponges with foundation brushes. Sponges waste a lot of makeup.
• If you don't have a makeup remover, you can always use body lotion.

You can't learn all beauty hacks overnight. But these tricks should ensure you look amazing. Remember, it may take some time to determine which tips work best for you. Our product recommendations to you are below.

The Right Way to Wear Red Lipstick

“There is a shade of red for every woman”

— Audrey Hepburn

Audrey Hepburn's quote can be interpreted in literal context, after all, red lipstick does come in different hues.

Depending on the geography and time period, the Scarlet pout has been a symbol of many things. A declaration of independence, a sign of seduction, social status, confidence, seeker of attention or a show of wealth.

Red lipstick is synonymous with power and strength, highly seen during women's suffrage movement (decades-long fight to win the right to vote for women in the United States).

In the 20th century, however, people associated red lips with sexual immorality and sacrilegious traits. Perhaps that's because red lipstick carries sexual undertones that make women’s lips stand out and appear sexier.

There is nothing wrong with women wearing red lipstick today if she wants to boost her sexual allure and stand out among her peers.

If red lipstick is your armor against the rest of the world, feel free to paint your pout red. Lipstick is a known confidence booster. Need that extra nudge when it comes to public speaking, go for a powerful shade of lipstick (we suggest a rich red).

Do

• Know what shade is right for you.
• Remove excess color after applying.
• Do take care of your teeth. Remember your teeth stand out when you wear red lipstick.
• Wear it right to help you boost your confidence
• Match your lips and nails
• Wear it with all black everything!

Don't

• Don't wear bright red when you have smokey eye makeup.
• Don't let it transfer to your teeth please.
• Don't over do it with the rest of the makeup
• Don't wear bright red when your outfit is filled with colors.
• Don't wear bright red with pink blush or pink anything please.
• Maybe don't wear it when you're meeting your potential In-Laws.
• Best not to wear it at funerals.

Few tips to keep in mind:

• Remember red lips is part of an outfit. Style it well.
• Don't always have to use a lip liner. Sometimes just red lipstick is enough.
• Keep Q-tips handy for midday touch-ups.
• Red lips give you confidence boost.

vVardis - The Revolutionary Swiss Oral Care Whitening System

It’s the sound that fills most of us with a dread of visiting the dentist, even if it’s for the regular check up or a cleaning appointment. Fear no more as dentists, sisters Golnar and Haleh Abivardi turn the dreadful experience into a pleasurable one. Abivardi sisters are the ideal ambassadors for their brand vVardis whose product is dubbed as "the biggest discovery in dentistry since fluoride."
While in medical school in Switzerland, the two have learned about how important it is to have healthy teeth. Discovering about possible heart attacks, brain damages, even miscarriages caused by cavities Abivardi sisters determined to open a clinic that would motivate patients to keep their teeth and the health in check.
With the concept in mind, zero patients and no capital, the two have managed to open their first high-end dental clinic in Zurich. Swiss Smile opened its doors in 2003. Abivardi’s vision to make dentistry less painful and less fearful is a way to motivate patients to take care of their health and achieve a beautiful smile.
Since the opening Swiss Smile received tons of awards and became a leading dental group for quality. Clinic offers variety of products and services. But it’s the whitening gel Aletsch, brand’s patented WX Formula that really puts the spotlight on vVardis. Unique formula of Aletsch instant bright and white gel is designed to make the first whitening product work without the use of hydrogen peroxide which is known for blistering gums and cause hypersensitivity.

“Knowing what damage hydrogen peroxide does, if you were to ask us four years ago, we would say unfortunately only peroxide will work. In Switzerland peroxide is forbidden and is only allowed to use at the dental office. We combined Aletsch gel to make the first whitening, that works, without peroxide. Our product is really revolutionary. It protects against stains and gives a feeling of a professional teeth cleaning”, sisters shared with Gazette du Bon Ton.

Abivardi sisters believe in medicinal usage of herbs, plants and take sustainability very seriously. All of their products are vegan and made in Switzerland with minimal usage of plastic. The toothbrush from vVardis gift set is made of wood from Switzerland. Each toothbrush is numbered indicating what tree it came from and the technology of bristles is incredible. The toothpaste comes in a Patented PICEA wood tube made from the sawdust of German carpenters. Aletsch gel is vegan, good for veneers, crowns and completely safe for your gums. The gel leaves a protective layer which is perfect for coffee and wine drinkers. The product is available separately or together as vVardis Ritual set ($320). No more going to the dental office. Get the same effect in the comfort of your own home. Golnar and Haleh Abivardi won the international price businesswoman of the year for Switzerland for making the dentistry a new experience. CNBC Europe called them two dentist fearless dentistry.
