The return of 90s makeup

Dubroff continues to reign supreme and as films and TV shows like Pam & Tommy and Spencer, as well as a modern spin on the decade’s trends in euphoria brings fresh nostalgic pangs for the 90s, here are some of the 90’s most iconic makeup trends, that have been tweaked by the artist to sneak into your looks now.

The art of tolerance in Dhaka
Some say that living in Dhaka is not easy and for those who have lived here for years, nothing is easy. In fact, living in this city makes it easier to tolerate any other inconvenience with a hair-flip. Someone spat inches away from your feet? Tolerate. It landed on you? Wipe and move on. The world might have a fancy word like noise pollution for needlessly honking cars but we know it for what it really is — soothing white noise that one could even fall asleep to. Which happens often, during the long respites the city graciously bestows on us to and from work every day without fail. We lovingly call them traffic jams.

Who wants to be a millionaire? Common habits of people with large bank balances
A rhetoric, largely, because who does not want to be wealthy, right? Unfortunately, though, it is unlikely that life will take us all to the hot seat and make us rich while our friends and family cheer on. Does that have to mean that becoming a millionaire must remain a dream? Maybe not. A study that involved interviewing over two hundred millionaires over the course of five years revealed a list of common habits that all those with enviable bank balances share.

Tools for cultivating happiness: Yamas and Niyamas in yoga
The purpose of yoga is to achieve liberation from suffering through the realisation of our true nature. By practicing the eight limbs of yoga, we purify our conscience so we can perceive our inner divinity. Two of these eight limbs, the yamas and niyamas, are the social and personal ethics that form the foundation of a yogic lifestyle that enables us to advance along a spiritual path towards enlightenment. These are tools for cultivating happiness and self-confidence. When you come across an obstacle, a moment that tries your patience, a person that rubs you the wrong way, think of it as an opportunity to practice using these tools. This will help you put your spirituality into action.

Why go nuts: All the benefits you can reap
Consuming nuts as part of a healthy diet may be beneficial to health. Nuts are high in unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients. They are also great as a snack because they are cheap, easy to store, and portable. One disadvantage of nuts is that some are high in calories, so portion control is essential. However, choosing nuts over a less healthy snack may help you stick to a heart-healthy diet.

Breaking down the backless style
A little provocative, definitely bold, and sometimes even extravagant, the backless dress or blouse, offers a clever twist to any sort of regular styling. Imagine, a lady wearing a suit and suddenly, there is a backless twist to the attire that every person would now seem more interesting than ever. Saris are beautiful on their own, the wearer often plays with the blouse to make it even more attractive than usual. One can go sleeveless, add fluffs to the blouse, put on interesting necklines, or even go backless.

Should co-workers be more than colleagues?
Working alone can be isolating. You spend most of your time with co-workers, and you are often judged for how well you perform. But what if there were a method to make work more enjoyable? What if the folks in your immediate vicinity were more than just co-workers? Would it be beneficial to your career? The line between colleagues and friends has blurred, and the way we interact with each other is evolving. As a result of this, it is important to know where you stand in your current position or organisation.

Pearls in your hair
The trend is called a pearl scattering or “pearlcore,” as per Pinterest. Whatever the name, the dreamy inlay of smooth, white pearls on hair, especially dark, Asian hair creates the effect of a starry night. Ever since celebrity hairstylist Justine Marjan, who has styled the likes of Kim Kardashian, Kerry Washington, and Olivia Culpo, spearheaded the look with Lucy Boynton, it was heralded as something of a hair movement. Boynton’s pearl embellished part at the Oscars red carpet has only moved up the popularity curve, with people adopting the trend and giving it their own, creative spin.

The necessity of regular moisturising for babies
Babies are born with smooth and tender skin; it is a fact that we are all aware of. As much as we envy the baby-soft skin, it is not tough, and must be taken care of regularly to maintain the suppleness. While taking care of our children’s delicate skin, we must understand that it is significantly different from adult skin and must be treated with special care. The creams and lotions that we use on adult skin have distinctive ingredients including perfume and other chemicals that may be super sensitive to baby skin. That is why it is essential that we use emulsions that are expressly made for baby skin.
