An Identity Enhancer
Not Pretence
Many times it is
been said “She wears a mask, have you
seen how flaky and patchy”. We have
industries flowing all the kind of products to enhance one self. You name the
product and we have it, be it a colourful lipgloss or a random face pack.
We have to agree
that since generation females prefer to take good care of themselves. The only
difference is that nowdays it is been more publicised. Earlier, If we did not
have many companies to offer us numerous products, we had our grandmothers’
recipes which without a tinge of doubt worked wonders. Did any us of know that
a floor mix with chocolate can act as a powdered base which is best to use in
summers as all suggested by the leading companies that we should use powdered
base in summers instead a liquid one..
The first make
up and the skin care company which came to India is Lakme brought by Rajiv
Gandhi and the market was blown over by its products. However at that time it
didn’t bring many options for all the different Indian skin tones. Till then
many ladies without the knowledge of make up and their skin tone started using
wrong base(foundation) which either made
them look white or muddy and that’s where came the good old aunties
comment “oh poor girl has put on make to become fair”. Due to different skin tone colour and less options available, dark
or wheatish complexion ladies started using the base without realising it is
not meant for them, girls who wanted to become fair after the critical comments
of their mothers or mother in laws. Make up is not meant for looking fair it is
meant to hide imperfections of the skin, Who in the world has perfect skin may
be a baby but in such a polluted and hot weather it is only possible in our
dreams. A good base does that, it only hides your pimple or damaged skin
marks and makes you look flawless. The market
is in full swing with irresistible products which takes my heart away. Infact
our good old Lakme has improved itself and has started offering shades for dark
beauties as well.
One of the
leading brand which has unending shades for every Indian skin tone is Mac. I
myself being a wheatish complexion girl (NC 42) for me it is my favourite
brand. It does not make me look white or muddy just hides my childhood
negligence of the skin. There are other brands as well like Bobbi brown,
Clinque, Este Laudre and many more. However, I am sure you are wondering these
are pretty expensive brands which everyone cannot afford. The affordable brands
for us are Maybelline, Colorbar and home brand lakme. These brands also offer
various options for us without spoiling our skin.
All most all of us have this myth that make up spoils our
face, well it will not, if applied on a clean face and removed thoroughly
before going to bed. We need to follow a regular CTM routine to keep our skin
look healthy and nourished. After this only we can expect the base to do its work. Won’t we all agree anything applied on the
unclean and dirty face will appear dirty only, instead of appearing beautiful.
Make up don’t spoil our faces wrong habits do. For example, using a wrong
cleaning schedule without knowing our skin type. For instance if a oily skin
uses a dewy effect foundation it will make her face like the shine of the light
bulb though if a matte foundation is used it will balance the unwanted oil of
the skin and it will also not clog the pores which the former will do.
There are women
in media industry and modelling industry whose work demand putting on of the
make up for 8 to 9 hours so that they look there best and I can assure you
there skin is not spoiled at all bcoz they use good brands and follow a regular
cleaning of their faces.
I
know I have taken lot of your timing In the end I just want to say that keep
your skin healthy and look gorgeous always.
