We’ve seen how to create a seamlessly smooth graphic eyeliner, the best way to apply cream contour and we’ve even been convinced to switch up our decades old concealer routine. Thanks, TikTok. Now, I don’t know about you, but one thing in my routine that remains unchanged is how I apply mascara. It’s simple: prep the lashes with a curling tool and then add a few coats of your favourite mascara, right? WRONG! According to makeup artist, Cynthia Di Meo, whose…

We’ve all been there—send, delete, and send again. All those unintended WhatsApp messages that have gone as major faux pas, typos, emojis, or heated back-and-forth with your friend, partner, boss, relative, client, and the list goes on. While the good people at WhatsApp gave us the power to delete sent messages, as a receiver you can end up frustrated not knowing what was coming your way. Alas, you stare and wrack your brain waiting longingly for a stream of conscious thought you can piece together from the sender. Good news for all the anxiety ridden receivers—you can now retrieve all…
Ever since the pandemic broke out, there has been a significant other in our life—the electronic screen. Be it laptops, mobile phones or TV, we are most of the times glued to either one of them.

So if you can’t cut down on your screen time, make sure you use an eye cream that helps you keep the tell-tale signs of digital fatigue away from your eyes. Dr Geetika Mittal…

In 2020, when the whole world was in a whirlpool of chaos Indian Matchmaking provided us with the entertainment we were so starved for. It opened meme floodgates and sparked various debates but the cherry on top of this cringe-worthy cake came when we found out that none of the couples who were set up on the show ended up together. It seems like their stars just didn’t align. You can hate the show and criticize Sima Taparia for her methods (they are pretty archaic!) but when we tell you that Indian Matchmaking season 2 will drop on Netflix on…

What did the Television academy do differently while announcing this year’s Primetime nominees on Tuesday? It didn’t give network or platforms bragging rights. Still, because everyone likes to crunch numbers (as do we), HBO has come out top-of-the-charts with 108 nominations, while Netflix comes second with a total of 105 nominations.

Squid Game, on the other hand, has become the first non-English language series to compete for the top spot. Only took…

The phrase ‘age is just a number’ is one of the biggest clichés there can ever be. However, if you think about it, there come moments in life that can only be described using clichés.

While we (people in our 20s and 30s) struggle and complain about leg days at the gym, women over the age…
