New season means a fresh and trendy look that's completely different from any other year. Isn't that just exciting? Life never seems boring when you are up-to the minute chic and fashionable.
In Bangladesh we have the rare gift of a hot, humid summer and monsoon. Keeping up with the trends in such a challenging season seems harsh to the plain-sighted. If you are truly a dedicated fan of makeup artistry then nothing can ever stop you. And I really mean NOTHING!
In this popular South Asian season we can don bold colours in makeup and match it effortlessly with calm and soothing, pale coloured clothing.
In this article we suggest few different styles than the usual bold and the beautiful; let's try for some glowy and earthy tones instead!
The Glow
For a day-time look; 'soft and luminous' can never go wrong. I think wearing minimal makeup is refreshing as it makes us feel light, bright and fresh. Most importantly, it is very easy to achieve. All you need is a flawless base with a layer of mascara and a flush of pink or peachy blush.
For a more vibrant look, wear coloured eyeliner with a nice pink or coral coloured lipstick, which would complement the look further. Pat a generous amount of highlighter onto the top of cheekbones, on the brow bone and down the bridge of the nose.
Voila! Now go out and shine.

Earth Tones
Brown tones are colours that suit all skin complexions from dark to fair. For evenings, a nice shade of taupe, olive or cappuccino eye shadow with darker lash lines will look gorgeous. The focus of this look are the eyes. To make them 'pop out', it's nice to smudge the lower lash line with a brown eye shadow. For a more 'eye-catching' look you could also add gold glitters and false lashes.
Nonetheless, use a small amount of blush on top of the cheekbones and then sweep a light dust of bronzer onto the face and minimal amount of highlighter. Lastly, wear a nice nude colour lipstick and you are good to go!
