Sushma Khan, National Creative Director – Makeup, Lakme Salon gives you makeup hacks to make you look date-ready!

Illuminate throughout your date using a highlighter. It is a quick way to make your face appear slimmer and takes away attention from the wider areas of your cheeks
Maximise your eyelashes to create some elongated drama.

Use an eyelash curler and top it up with 2-3 coats of voluminous mascara. To add an edgier look, opt for a dark blue or purple mascara that will surely steal the limelight

Give yourself a flush with the right blush. Choose a formula that looks natural, sheer and is easy to blend and you will see the difference it will make to your complexion

Go bold with a fuchsia shade in pink or a deep red. The important thing to remember is to never line your lips with a darker lip liner. Make sure your lipstick and lip liner colour matches

Shailesh Moolya, National Creative Director – Hair, Lakme Salon shares a few hair tips that will leave you set to impress!

Make a lasting impression by using simple embellishments or even flowers as hair accessories that will flaunt your feminine beauty.

To add a bit of romance to your open hair, take any one section of your side hair and braid them or grab more eyeballs using the goddess braid style

For a quick fix-me-up, pinch and pull twisted pieces of hair outwards for volume and place against crown of head and pin.

Repeat these on the opposite side as well.

If you’re into no fuss and want a flirty look go in for hair with texture. Spray your hair with a lot of volume boost spray, curl your hair with a tong and comb it after with a brush. Voila!

You can never go wrong with a stylish ponytail. Pin two bobby pins on you rubber band below your ponytail. This will keep your ponytail perky and give it an extra lift
