The most flattering of the colour cosmetics – that not only accentuates the cheek bones but gives the impression of a soft healthy glow, is the blusher.

Selective and clever usage omits the needs for shaders – especially during day time. Use two shades of the same colour-a light and a dark to shape the face.

• Blusher strengthens and livens the face
• Deep shades are more suitable for evenings
• Rose-pin and coral colours are fresh looking and give flow for natural day-time look.
• Soft coral and warm rose tints suit pale skin
• Warm pinks suit olive skin

Gorgeous hair is easy … with the right tools, says beauty therapist and naturopath Nirmala Shetty

Unlike your skin your hair cannot repair itself. That’s why you need to care for it and protect it - for the state of your hair reflects your internal health. To revive your hair’s natural health and shine, follow this:

• Keep your scalp clean and cool.
• Nutrients are the key to healthy hair, but to be effective, they must reach the roots. So, whatever you use, you must learn to massage it in well, using the pads of your fingers.
