“It’s the product that makes me look alive when I’m running on four hours of sleep. The coverage is seamless, it blends in seconds and the sponge tip makes it so easy that I can use it in the back of a car. If I didn’t have this, everyone would ask if I’m okay.” - Megha Sharma, Editorial
Keep accessories in place
Bobby pins are bae—they add a pop of colour and bling to any hairstyle. So keep them and all other hair accessories in place by spritzing some hairspray on them before you wear them. This will extend the grip and anchor your hairstyle for longer periods.
Since your eye makeup can make or break a look, getting it right should be high-priority. Besides, don’t shy away from using pop colours and glitter that see you through the evening. With matte nudes, multi-chromatic foils, eye gloss and sparkly shades, the Huda Beauty Grunge Eyeshadow Palette will help you shift the focus to your lids.
Add volume to your crown
If you’re dealing with second-day hair that tends to fall flat no matter how much you try to give it a lift, then this hairspray hack will come to the rescue. Divide your crown into two sections and tightly place large barrel rollers just under them. Lightly spritz on some hairspray and blast-dry the sections for a few seconds to lock in the style with heat. Take out the rollers and your crown has been lifted.
