Choosing the right skin care products are extremely important as face is that part of the body that is seen first and using the wrong kind of products may spoil the skin. Make sure you use products that not only suit your skin type, but also protect the texture of the skin.
Apart from the basic moisturizers and toners, next thing to keep in mind while buying for cosmetics and makeup products are the makeup brands. Always test the makeup to see if it sit’s well on the skin and make sure it does not look patchy. Neither should the makeup wear off in a few minutes after wearing.
Eyes are the windows to your soul, hence use a good kajal or a great iconic dual kajal cum eyeliner that expresses your moods. You can try different ways of wearing your eyeliner based on the event you wish to attend. Luxola, who have recently launched in India, have a great eyeliner for you to try.
Choosing the appropriate brand is tricky, as you have to pick one from the pool of names – all sugar coated with marketing gimmicks. Do have a read to find out the leading beauty companies in India!
