The Beauty Bloopers: ‘Women can go overboard with make-up!’

I am one person who likes to venture into almost anything when it comes to additional accessories. I recently started wearing hair add-ins like feathers, extensions, tinsel bells and others. It sort of grew so much on me that I decided to wear them even at casual outings. But I guess it wasn’t as amusing to others as my boyfriend had to step in and tell me to tone down the look a bit as it seemed I was trying too hard to stand out in the crowd. - M.A.

I have to admit that I have one too many beauty items sitting in my drawer that were only bought for the reason of ’coming in a cute box’. I didn’t even realise that I already have something similar and the question now is how will I use it? Sometimes, the packaging is made so attractive that a person just can’t resist it. - Ria T.

It’s one of the best looks for the nightlife, which can be rocked by any woman. With a black eye shade palette and a mirror, anyone can master the smokey eyes. However, in the excitement to glamourise oneself with one basic ingredient, women can go overboard with make-up and instead of smudging the shade from the corners and outwards, a swipe across the whole eyelid fold is never advisable, because you want to look sensual, not gothic. - Safia Shanzay, beauty expert.
