Right from your virtual corporate calls to client meetings to family get-togethers to friends chatting over a glass (or let’s keep it counting) of wine, the lockdown situation is playing a huge role in trend transitions, and obviously so.

We are all indoors and communicating virtually. Work and social meetings continue online and hence; we need to get our ‘A game’ on. Make-up in the times of social distancing is the new norm.

Also, in times of uncertainty, leaning on familiar practices such as a skincare or make-up routine can be an exercise in mindfulness. Studies show that women are more likely to feel good about themselves if they wear make-up during lockdown.

We have renowned make-up expert Nisha Sinh Gohel, style director, Jean Claude Biguine, recommending you make-up and skincare routines that can serve as lockdown self-care. Here are plenty of styling tips to fly you through the week as she shows you some easy DIY make up looks, right through the week.

Let’s plan all the outings, play up your cheeks a little, have some fun with beautiful liners and add an instant dose of colour to your lips in this uncertain season. It’s time to take your lipstick from ‘boardroom to house parties’ while fixing a smoky eye.

Monday

KEEP IT FRESH AND SIMPLE

Let’s start the first day of the week with a fresh look to keep the Monday blues at bay. Luckily, one doesn’t require to use a heavy foundation base unless it’s a one-on-one video chat. Start with cleansing, toning and moisturising. Use a concealer for the under eyes and a light BB cream or CC cream depending on the skin type.
