1. Double French manicure: How can you take a classic French
manicure to the next level? It's simple, just double the impact! Seen on the
spring/summer runway this year, double French manicure gives a distinctly
tropical vibe. To achieve the look at home, apply a coat of glossy clear nail
paint and let it dry. Next, brush a thick arc of pinkish-white paint across the
top of the nail. Once it dries, draw a thinner arc of turquoise colour across
the tip. Try this one for a chic spin on the traditional style!
2. Colourful & feminine hair accessories: You can hardly
imagine summer without floral motifs. From uber-impressive and
attention-grabbing huge floral headpieces to cute scarves and bands that look
like rabbit's ears, bohemian floral accessories blossomed on the runway forming
a major trend in 2015. If you don't experiment with hairstyles often, these
will tempt you into it. For a beach-friendly look, style your hair with these
accessories and wear a cute cover-up. Also apt for the boho-chicgirl-in-town look.
3. Golden glittery eyes: You'll to tally fall in love with
this minimalist meets intergalactic eye make-up.Let your eyes be the centre of
attention by applying loose glitter to three points of the eyes - the inner
corners along with the top and bottom lash line. To add some more glam, line
the upper eyelid with gold liner and dot the inner corners of the eye with gold
eyeshadow. Retain a fresh-faced, natural look by keeping your skin and lips
artfully bare (or consider applying a taupe or nude lipstick). Keep your brows
well-groomed.
4. The Lob: Neither too short nor too lengthy, the Lob (Long
Bob) is your definite cut of choice this summer. Fresh, youthful and
flattering, women of all ages and any face shape can sport it with elan. Since
its both quirky and cool, it's a great option for women tired of their long
hairdo. From sexed-up waves to 70s groupie bangs, Hollywood stars are wearing
the Lob in smoking-hot ways. Take inspiration form Cameron Diaz, Karlie Kloss,
Alexa Chung and Amy Adams.
5. Star tattoos: Not willing to say `yes' to permanent
tattoos? Join the temporary tat too bandwagon with bombshells Alessandra
Ambrosia, Vanessa Hudgens, and Beyonce who are rocking this trend. Tommy
Hilfiger models wore star tattoos in green, grey, black and burgundy on their
face, arms, tummy and other parts of the body for a fun and flirty look. These
playful tattoos are music fest-chic. If you want to try it at home, make your
job easier by creating starshaped stencils and fill them whenever you wish to
get inked.
6. Herringbone braids: The humble plait is here to stay! The
fad this year is the intricate Herringone Braid. Play with contrasting textures
by pairing wet, slicked back hair with a big deconstructed fishtail braid.Comb
gel from the roots to the back of the crown and clip the hair in place. Divide
it into three sections and cross them over and underneath one an other. Finish
by pulling the braid apart with your fingers and spraying your favourite hair
product for gloss. Braided buns and woven ponytails are other exciting options
for the summer season. So, get high on plaitspiration, ladies!
7. Purple eyeshadow: Think of this one as your new
smokey-eye effect. A gorgeous blend of mauve and lavender, this flattering hue
will make fair, dusky as well as pale complexions pop.To achieve the apt
effect, remember to keep the colour minimal; it shouldn't look aggressive.Line
the upper lashes with dark brown eyeliner. Dab some pinky-violet lipstick on
the lids and brush metallic brown shadow on top. Finish with a coat of deep
purple mascara. Keep the foundation light and the rest of the face bare. Don't
apply make-up under the eyes.
8. Sleek ponytails with hair loops: Hurrah for this couture
ponytail! Turn the basic ponytail into something cool, and unlike anything you
may have seen before with these functional plastic hair loops or links. Work a
thickening mousse through the hair for volume, tuck the bottom section up under
the top and mould the hair into an egg-like shape at the back of the crown.
Now, make a loop through which you can pass the ring. Then, loop a thick hair
extension around the second ring for a polished, modern, futuristic-looking
ponytail.
9. Bold, Graphic eyeliner: "This season try out the
most outstanding cat eye look ever with bold and expressive colours like bright
orange, pink and white," suggests beauty and make-up expert Akriti
Kochar.For an off-beat look, apply falsies to the top and bottom along with
lots of lengthening mascara for 60s-inspired eyes. Pick a white eyeliner and wing
the inner and outer corners out slightly with a few smaller strokes on each
side. White is the new black! And for bright a neon effect, opt for a bright
orange lipstick and use your fingers to apply it as blush.
10. The off-centre parting: In tune with the season's trend
for `real' or `natural beauty', wear a parting that is neither neat at one side
nor precise in the centre. It will frame your face making it appear longer,
thinner. Centre parting also helps define cheekbones and elongates facial
features. For a flawless parting, be sure to create it while you your hair is
wet so that your strands dry in place.
