We have been there, stuck in a style-rut. Getting up in the morning and following the same ritual to get ready makes us feel drab and dull. The same kind of clothes, the hairstyle and the same products of make up some days demand for a change. Rather than going in for a radical makeover that makes us regret our decisions later, you will be surprised how easily we can change the way we look.

Glossy lips and nail colors has been around for a few years. But the truth of the matt-er is that matte is in trend. It may be hard for you to get rid of your trusted lip gloss and shiny nails, a quick (and affordable) swap of your liquid lip lacquers for a matte pout can go a long way. Unlike gloss, you can go matte with any hue. Be it the trendy reds and browns or the quirky shades (Aishwarya’s purple lip color at Cannes proved that!). Since the likes of international and Indian fashion designers have debuted this look at runways, the brands are following suit.

Matte lipsticks also need more touch ups than gloss lipsticks, so a lip liner is a good idea if you don’t want to constantly do that.
