Beauty secrets revealed

Beauty secrets revealed: We have all seen glamorous people and wished to be like them some day. While much of the glamour is genetically influenced or assiduously practiced by artists from the films, media and sporting industry,there is also a fair amount of make-up that goes to make the average Joe the most eligible bachelor in town!

Yes, the well-kept secret of all celebrities is not their bank accounts,it is their make-up artists! If you don’t believe that, just ring the doorbell of Justin Bieber, Madonna,Sly Stallone or any other celebrity for that matter in the dead of night.You might not want to believe that the person who answered the door bell is your favourite idol.

Smart City lists some great tips from celebrity makeup attists:

1. Soft Eyeliners: Keep those eyeliners soft for a smoky pop-out look that is so in this season!

2. Avoid 24 hour AC: Avoid being in front of an AC the entire day and get a humidifier to get glowing skin like the divas of Hollywood or Bollywood.

3. Confidence: Never wear or try anything that you are not 100% confident of pulling out on the red carpet. Just remember that not everyone has the perfect body and not all those who have perfect bodies or accessories have confidence! Be comfortable in your skin and what you wear.

4. Hair Wash: Don’t shampoo your hair every day A word of caution that this might not work best if you are prone to heavy sweating in your head or if you do strenuous activities that induce sweating!

5. Moisturize: Drive away the dryness of your skin, lips with moisturizers.They are healthy for the skin and give a pleasant tone and look.

6. Hair Style: Consult a good stylist to get the right hair cut for you. Remember the hair cut should be as per the shape of the head. For a round head, it might be good to not cover the cheekbones.

7. Dress code: More skin show doesn’t always mean glamorous.In fact, dressing in traditional dresses might be sexier and comfortable.Always check the occasion, audience and culture before you dress. It might not be good to expose too much in a country where this is frowned upon.

8. Beauty sleep: There is a reason why this is called so. A person who does not sleep at least 6-7 hours a day is not likely to show their best appearance the next day. Sleep well and you are likely to make a positive impact.

9. Diet: Avoid excess of caffeine, alcohol,carbonated drinks, starchy food items, desserts to keep yourself in the best shape.There is no dress that can cover up the ill-kept body and even an ordinary dress will look great on a Greek God’s body!

10.Travel: Travel extensively to pick up the best of all cultures and cities. You never know the tips that you might pick up abroad that could serve you well in your career and personal life!

Good Samaritans!

It was around 9.50 am, and bus no. 26n/49 was en route to Mehdipatnam. All of a sudden a young passenger experienced convulsions attack. On learning this, the driver parked the bus aside. Co-passengers along with the driver and conductor gave him first aid. When the boy recovered they arranged for an auto rickshaw and the boy and his minor acquaintance were sent back home.The bus was late to its destination by a good half an hour.This meant all the passengers were late to their respective destinations too. But they waited calmly as they believed in ‘Service before self ’. Of course there were few who were asking the driver to resume the journey. But the driver K. Ramesh was persistent. He says “I don’t mind helping people even if it means being late by an hour or two.” This is yet another example of good natured Hyderabadis who are always ready to help strangers.

Smart City appreciates every benevolent person who helped the boy!

The world is full of good Samaritans.It’s difficult to find them as they don’t blow their trumpet.We have found one in Rajasekhar Reddy, who runs a software training institute. When you take admission there you will think that it is just like any other training institute where every trainee is required to pay tuition fee. But if you excavate deep, only then one can find some uniqueness to this software training institute. Mr. Reddy provides free training to orphans! Right from his school days he is determined to help the society in one way or the other. When he was in class 10th he has donated a bus shelter in his village Gudur, in Nalgonda district.Prof. D.N Reddy who came for inauguration was amazed on seeing then barely 15-year-old Rajasekhar Reddy involved in social work. In intermediate first year he has organised a free eye camp in collaboration with Lions club.

What made him to involve in social service? “It is for personal satisfaction that I help the needy. It gives immense happiness. Orphans don’t have any acquaintances to rely on, so I come forward to help them in my own way,” he says with a smile. For the past eight years he is providing free training to youngsters from orphanages. “In 2003 the director of an orphanage invited me for republic day celebrations and surprised me with a felicitation,” he recalls.

He has great plans to empower orphans and needy. “Right now I can only offer free training in my institute.Some time in future I am planning to provide free food and education, to at least 100 orphans every year. Once they are into higher education I will help them find a job.The moment they become independent they will leave the orphanage giving opportunity to another batch.They are very ambitious, what they need is proper guidance,” details Mr.Reddy of his future plans. Smart City appreciates this Good Samaritan for his efforts.
