Wary of your looks as you step out after ages? And this time, with a mask covering half of your face? Well, masked-outings are the new normals. Aren’t we tired of hearing the word ‘new normal?’ Sorry, if we have made you cringed even more! Coming back to our point, we strongly believe that you can still up your glam-game by making the only part of your face that’s striking (rather visible!), even with a mask on, look magical! We are talking about the eyes. Eyes are windows to the soul and the way you dress up your eyes goes a long way in conveying about your inner self.

For a dramatic effect, try the technicolor smoky eye, for that seductive and glam look you could try the mid-90’s blues, and for a celestial look, how about incorporating some fine lines and glitter!
