Letter from the Editor
S
pring is a season that is really inspiring due to the warmer weather, birds chirping, and the suns coming out to play. Finally it’s time to shed those itchy, thick layers that took over your winter wardrobe. Now, it’s all about sheer fabrics, bright colors, color blocks, pastels and ruffles for springtime daily wear. In addition, bright hues and edgy prints are bound to make this world lively and vibrant. Spring 2018 is all about bold individuality. This season will definitely be full of energy and optimism. Mix and match floral prints make a fashion statement, or wing out your eyeliner to showcase that feline feel; New York, Milan, Paris, and London runways have already influenced the hottest trends for 2018. So rock satin and shine bright like the diamond you are. Miniskirts and denim will make a huge comeback this season and bring back the 2000s like never before. Smooth pastels such as lilac, coral, and turquoise are guaranteed to give you that essential spring fever. Soft hues are also a must for spring. If you’re looking for a flirty feminine style, then ruffles are the way to go. (Fringing made a surprise comeback this year too. Top designers like Chanel and Celine gave them a more sophisticated empowering appeal.) Spring forward with eccentric makeup trends like just-bitten lips, wet glossy eyeshadows, and illuminators that are every shimmer-lovers dream. Makeup is bigger than it has ever been. Spring inspired makeup has burnt up the runway as models wore aqua-tinted eyeshadows, sun-kissed yellows, and pouty metal lips. We now have some serious makeup envy.
Cover model Elyseah who is an ardent lover of art says that she loves creating art. She says, "Art is a display of originality and uniqueness”. Even though we lost an hour of sleep, I could not be happier. Good riddance to sweaters and uggs. Hello to miniskirts and sandals.

7 ESSENTIAL PRIMING PRODUCTS To prime or not to prime, that seems to be the eternal beauty question. While the choice is always up to you, we make the case for primers – from makeup to hair and even fragrance.
HIGHLIGHT DROPS Fancy an all-over yet low-key radiant effect? Use these sheer liquid illuminating drops as a primer under your foundation or concealer. While you can, of course, mix with your favourite primer, foundation, tinted moisturiser or BB/CC cream and also use the drops as a standalone highlighter, an entire priming layer under your base will really give you that litfrom-within look. A little goes a long way, so place small dots around the face and QUICK TIP: Avoid overloading on primer or blend well. else it might start pilling or rolling under your foundation. A small drop, approximately the QUICK TIP: A thicker moisturiser mixed in with the highlight drops would also make size of a raisin, is plenty. an amazing primer. With well-hydrated skin, your foundation won’t flake off! SMOOTHING FACE PRIMER Do you sometimes find your base just sitting in your pores? Or being “eaten up” by natural skin oils before the end of the day? This is where face primer comes into play. Lightweight in texture, create a flawless canvas for your makeup with this smoothing formula – it will even out skin texture, and minimise the appearance of pores and fine lines. Apply before your foundation or use on its own for a subtle smoothing effect.

MASCARA PRIMER The newest area to benefit from a primer is our lashes. This defining primer not only boosts eyelash volume, but also creates a perfect base for our favourite mascaras. And it’s enriched with beeswax, plant keratin and cottonseed oil to condition the lashes, too. You’ll also find that a mascara primer can elevate so-so performing mascaras to sublime. Simply apply a layer of primer before adding your coats of mascara. QUICK TIP: It’s often best to limit your coats of mascara to just one or two in order to avoid clumping, but experiment around to find your perfect combo.

blendable, you can simply draw a series of Xs across your lid and then blend with a soft brush to get your eyes primed for that glorious colour.
HAIR PRIMER Let’s not forget about our tresses! If you’re wondering why you would need a hair primer, it’s the same premise as makeup primers – you want to provide the best possible condition for the hero product, and in the case of haircare, heat styling tools. This multi-use primer spray detangles and nourishes the hair, plus adds shine and softening, all necessary for layering on everything from volumisers, heat protection, texturisers, pomades, you name it. QUICK TIP: Spray the hair primer evenly onto damp hair before styling. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb for even distribution and maybe a little scalp massage while you’re there.
BODY MIST One of the secrets to long-lasting fragrance? Building layers. So think of this body mist as your primer on which you apply other fragrance products on top, such as body creams, perfume sprays, oils or balms. And you don’t have to match fragrances either. Make your own truly bespoke scent by layering different kinds – floral and spicy, fresh and earthy, woody, floral and musky, you get the picture. The possibilities are now endless! QUICK TIP: Concentrate your scents on the pulse points for maximum effect, but we also like a quick spritz in the hair just because.

Elyseah Shaikh Elyseah, an ardent art lover, says that she loves to create. "Art is originality and uniqueness. It is an emotion coming out passionately in various forms; from the human body through music, painting, writing or even perhaps through anything and everything creative. Creative imagination is an art. To be able to sum up emotions into a poem, then to be able to expresses pain or love through pictures, while influencing humans on love for art is an art into itself. Art is a blessing which makes this world a better place. Quite frankly, our would be an empty canvas without it." Elyseah has dabbled herself in many forms (acting, modeling and creative directing) and her journey does not cease to end. With a distinctive diversity in work and personality, she causes intrigue to others who want to know who she really is. Her secret? Elyseah is an emotional being with a super strong persona who always believes that balance is key..
