1 Instant Reset Don’t want to put on a full face of makeup? Apply a powder formula to freshly-moisturised skin (it makes the powdery texture adhere better to skin) to get an instant glow. A primer works just as well and makes the product stay put longer. 2 Cream Control When applying a cream formula, place two fingers next to the nose and the fold-up below the cheekbone, and blend upwards—it creates a lift in the face. 3 It’s a Match Mixing two complementing shades can help you create a multidimensional effect. All you need to do is pick a light and a dark hue—apply the lighter one on the apples of your cheek and the darker one right under it, and you’re done. 4 Blush It right Using the…

HIGH ON GLAMOUR Your staple gym hairdo has got a sexy reboot. You could call it the Ariana Grande-effect, as AW19 runways were flooded with a host of high ponytail looks. The backstage pros gave different personalities to this ’do—models at Emilia Wickstead channelled old-world glamour with their high ponys pinned to the sides and adorned with a bow; Jean Paul Gaultier featured a more bad-*ass vibe with a sleeker version, while GCDS went all out with dramatic, over-the-top versions, featuring logo-ed clips. CAN CAPSULES GIVE YOU BETTER SKIN? Simply put, yes they can. Single-dose skincare is a Korean invention—it comes in a capsule or ampoule that contains the right amount of product (usually serum) in single-use packaging. Many derms believe this is the right way to use potent skincare…

SHAURYA SANADHYA TULSHYAN, 27 “I’m a big fan of classic silhouettes, and black is always in style! I feel like this monochrome look transitions very well from day to night by just changing up the extras. For instance, you can replace the brogues with heels (or keep ’em!), the monogram bag with something sparkly, and of course, by adding statement jewels.” BHAVYA MONGA, 23 “I love how the right accessories can lift any outfit. Case in point: this look. I’ve dressed up my jumpsuit by teaming it with a half-moon straw bag, a jute belt, and pearl necklace and fun earrings.” NIKITA SHARMA, 21 “Tie ’n‘ dye has been one of the biggest trends from the last season, and is going strong this AW19, too. I’ve used it to create…

For Moschino’s SS20 show at Milan Fashion Week, Creative Director Jeremy Scott went camp-y with the 20th century painter Pablo Picasso and his many muses. While Bella Hadid channelled Harlequin in a ruffle-trimmed catsuit, Kaia Gerber’s outfit was a reimagination of Picasso’s Girl With A Mandolin. Some of the other interesting elements of the collection were a matador jacket, a Cubist bull mask, and a flamenco-style red gown with hand-painted polka dots… all significant aspects of Picasso’s artwork. If you’re planning an art-themed Halloween outfit, you now know where to look for inspiration!…

Owner and COO, Exhibit320 RASIKA KAJARIA “Growing up, my mother had a keen eye for art and design. She’d make us spend time with artists in their studios, talking to them about their creations. This exercise really sparked my interest in the arts. I bought my first piece at the age of 19 (a large canvas with a bright yellow landscape by Paramjit Singh), and I’ve been collecting art ever since. I have over 150 works in my collection now. But deep down, I knew I wanted to do more than just collect… This led to the birth of Exhibit320—our aim is to discover and encourage contemporary and evolving talent. While curating artwork, it’s extremely important to have a thread of conversation between the works—they could be in different mediums,…

Why do small dissimilarities—such as having different tastes in food, music, or travel—become major issues for some couples? And how do other duos handle conflicting stances on major topics such as religion, money, and—especially now—politics, with ease? After years of working with clients, I’ve found it’s not the actual disagreement itself that causes problems within a romantic relationship. What matters so much more is how both partners respond emotionally when they don’t see eye to eye on something. In fact, I believe that couples who can handle their disparities, and approach potentially toxic topics in mature, respectful ways, have the strongest bonds. They work hard to understand, appreciate, and accept what could otherwise divide them. If you adore your partner, but he or she has an opinion or affinity you…

CONNECTIONS ARE KEY A lack of first-date chemistry isn’t always bad news. Joanna thinks we need to turn down the pressure and treat dating apps as ‘introducing tools’ to expand real-life social networks. “They can introduce you to people who may, in turn, introduce you to someone—maybe their best friend, brother, colleague, or cousin —who you decide is special,” says Joanna. Excuse us while we hunt for Chris Hemsworth’s cousin on Tinder… MAKE THE FIRST MOVE Granted, walking up to a stranger is absolutely terrifying, but the semi-anonymous world of Internet dating is the perfect opportunity to take initiative. Joanna points out the absurdity of leaving your romantic storyline to fate or the whim of other people. “When you feel a connection and see something you want, take steps towards…

YOUR 20s EXERCISE When you’re sweating your arse off in the gym, it might not feel like it, but your body finds it easier to tone up in your twenties than at any other point in your life. It’s all down to your pituitary gland: a tiny pea-size area of your brain that produces the hormones for growth, body shape, and muscle formation. At this age, it’s firing on all cylinders—and you can cash in on this by lifting the heaviest weights you can to bank muscle memory for your thirties and forties. UK-based personal trainer Luke Worthington advises focusing on the frequency of your workouts rather than the loads you lift. “In your twenties, you’re set up perfectly for recovery, so four strength-training sessions plus two cardio ones per…

ROHIT GANDHI AND RAHUL KHANNA “Art is very important to us. It doesn’t just inspire the clothes that we create, but because of our innate passion for it, we started our own gallery, too (Palette Art Gallery in New Delhi). It’s a contemporary space with a modern tone, aimed at giving a voice to emerging talent. Fashion today has become more of a conversation-starter, and a garment inspired by modernism or abstract and contemporary art, presented in a structured-yet-fluid form is worthy of being called an artwork. In the past, we have launched collections inspired by artists like Jackson Pollock and George Martin, and they were very successful. The greatest thing about fashion is that it allows you to give shape to your imagination, to things that have inspired you.…

Q I love trying out new manicures styles, but I don’t have a steady hand. What can I do to a) hone my skills; and b) correct mistakes without having to redo the mani. A: We feel you…with so many amazing options spotted on runways and Instagram, it’s difficult to not get tempted into updating your digits every few days. As far as keeping a steady hand is concerned, only practice will make you better. Versus replicating a really complicated pro-level manicure, start small with easier trends like multi-striped or glitter nails. To learn the complicated art of ‘arty manis’, turn to YouTube. A corrector pen will come in handy if a stroke goes astray—this one by O.P.I has glycerine, which conditions the cuticles, and is refillable. Remember, serial mani…

Hon. Shri. Kalyan Jadhav Founder President, KJEI, Pune It is said that, "Engineers make the World", but nowdays Students enrolled for Engineering Education has a typical low quality factor, which needs to be drastically improved. This doesn't affect the requirement of 'Good" Engineers at Industry. Industry is still thirsty of good quality, skilled and talent stuff. Also the staff or teachers recruited in Engineering Institutes need training, specifically at industries periodically, for their up gradation. Teachers are qualified and have completed post Graduate (ME/M.Tech) but lagging at specific skill set required to cater industry and in turn imbibe the transformation into Students. When the ratio of Students and available Engineering seats was less, a highly meritorious and good stuff used to enter Engineering education. The mushroom growth of Engineering Colleges…

Standing on the threshold of its 'Centenary', Sanjeewan Vidyalaya (1922 - 2022) is looking forward to be a 'pace setting learning institution' enhancing learning through sports, creative skills and allied activities.

CASPERING A friendlier—but still frustrating—type of ghosting. The person hasn’t asked you out again, but they usually reply very nicely to your texts. CATCH AND RELEASE When someone puts all their effort into pursuing you until they ‘catch’ you. But as soon as you finally agree to a date, they lose interest in favour of a new target. CUSHIONING When you keep flirting with a few ‘cushions’ (other prospects) just in case your current relationship implodes and you need someone to soften the fall, fast. DATERVIEW A date that feels less butterfly-inducing and more like you should have brought your resume. You’re barraged with a series of questions about school, work, family, where you grew up, and more. D*CKSAND An extremely powerful force that can make a woman become so…

Ah, the tale of Adam and Eve in a wonderful garden surrounded by exotic plants, flowers, animals, and more… Everything was going well until Eve was deceived by a snake and ate the apple from the tree of knowledge…the rest, as they say, is history.

When Cosmo first interviewed Taapsee Pannu, over two years ago, she had just finished working on Pink and was being touted as a ‘rising’ star (a reference that didn’t leave her thrilled). But that was then. Because 24 months later, Taapsee has her name attached to many a successful film, collected nominations each year in the ‘Best Actress’ category, and worked with some of the biggest names in Bollywood. ‘Rising’ is not even close to cutting it: she’s grown to become a legit A-lister, with more solo lead roles than many of her contemporaries, and a career conspicuous with several striking choices—Naam Shabana, Mulk, Manmarziyan, to name a few—and an admirable fan following (13.3m on Instagram, if that’s anything to go by). “I don’t have many friends in the industry,…

YOU WANT: Something more than a ‘textationship’—you want an actual relationship. YOU NEED: To make sure you’re being yourself. If you want your match to turn into a dinner date or rom-com movie night, you have to keep your conversation authentic.

AARIFAH REBELLO (Drummer, singer, songwriter, and guitarist) “While many women are excelling in the music industry, in various capacities, the truth is that we live in a patriarchal country and music is still not considered a profession. There’s a lot of talent, but it gets swept under the rug. I belong to a musically-inclined family, but even my mum insisted that I get a formal degree first, so I took up journalism in college before turning pro. I’ve had people ask me, ‘You want to be a musician? But how’s that going to support you?’. It’ll take us some time to break that mindset—but it is happening. Also, people are surprised to see a woman play the drums. I think most expect women to be singers, not play the instruments.…

Q ~ ne world is a global village U / today. This is evident from the mere fact that every person, especially in India, harbours the desire to travel abroad, be it for touring, studying, visiting orto settle abroad permanently. Starting from the times when going abroad meant total uncertainty, to the present time when it's like going to another corner of the town. One important fallout is that youth has got the opportunities to experiment with different careers in different environments and cultures. Youngsters are looking at options for studying and settling abroad. One such person, Ms. Diamond went to the USA to pursue her MBA During her MBA she had made up her mind to come back to India and guide students and professionals to go Abroad, legally.…

Aquarius 01.20–02.18 Your boss is watching you, and pretty much everything you say or do is under heavy surveillance. That’s okay though—as long as you can keep your classic hard-headedness at bay, a big promotion may be in the stars. Pisces 02.19–03.20 Libra season has you feeling like a shut-in (those air-sign vibes make it hard for you to just keep swimming). But as Scorpio season creeps in, doors begin to open.

THE ULTIMATE STYLE ICON “I loved the September cover, and quite honestly, wasn’t surprised at how stylish Sonam looked! The interview read just as good, too.

Ariel may be the star of The Little Mermaid, but Ursula is 100 percent that b*tch. While the redhead with the Barbie waist is singing into her silverware, dreaming of legs and love, Ursula’s launching her plan to rule everything under the sea. (She’s already been banished from King Triton’s kingdom for being too ‘nasty’. An ‘unlikable’ female leader? Why does that ring a bell?) But seriously, now that Disney is launching its own streaming service later this year, we revisited the classic characters we grew up with. Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White—they’re all pretty princess types pitted against vengeful, ageing antagonists (see Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent and Snow White’s Evil Queen). There’s no question who little girls are supposed to root for. But rescreening these films now, we realised that…

AMRUTA PATIL (Author of Kari, Adi Parva, Sauptik: Blood and Flowers, and Aranyaka: Book of the Forest) India’s first female graphic novelist, Amruta’s stories are multi-layered, and explore themes of sexuality, intersectional feminism, and mythology. Her debut novel Kari was centred around a young lesbian living in Mumbai, and how she copes with her sexual identity; while Adi Parva and Sauptik were a revisionist take on the Mahabharata. JIGMET ANGMO (Dungjonma And Her Innovative Ride) 26-year-old Jigmet is Ladakh’s first graphic novelist. Her protagonist—Dungjonma—is based on a local folklore about a witch, but Jigmet turned it into a superhero story.

You know that gritty-*ss exfoliator you’ve been using since high school? The one you scrub all over your face until it feels tingly and, okay, slightly raw? Yeah, there’s a really good chance it’s destroying your skin. Truth: even though exfoliators are a 100 percent necessary, the wrong ones can do more damage than good. Harsh kinds can create micro-tears in your skin, weakening its protective barrier and rolling out a red carpet for bacteria, causing breakouts. So, permission to trash your old go-to granted. The exfoliator you should be using is made with chemicals—but not scary ones! We’re talking about gentle acids that dissolve the sticky substance that binds pore-clogging dead skin cells together, leaving you with Zendaya-like glowy skin. Basically, goals on goals on goals.

VIDYA TIKARI CELEBRITY MAKE-UP ARTIST Makeover Muse: Tamara In A Green Bugatti by Tamara de Lempicka, 1929 “In the original, Tamara’s bold red lips are paired with a clean face. For my version, I decided to make her eyes the focal point of the look. I opted for eyeshadows in contrasting shades to add depth, but with a hint of pop. I used the Urban Decay All Nighter Foundation to even out the complexion. To contour, I used Fenty Beauty’s Match Stix, followed by the Bobbi Brown Bronzer to create chiselled cheekbones. I finished up with muted, two-toned lips—filled the lips with the M·A·C Lip Pencil in Chestnut and swiped on a hint of M·A·C Lipstick in Taupe in the middle.” SONIC SARWATE GLOBAL SENIOR ARTIST AT M·A·C COSMETICS INDIA…

Over the last few decades—from Madhubala’s classic anarkali in Mughal-e-Azam (1960) to Sonam Kapoor Ahuja’s luxe pieces in Veere Di Wedding (2018)—Bollywood’s leading ladies have played a significant role in influencing Indian women’s sartorial choices. 100 Iconic Bollywood Costumes, written by Sujata Assomull and illustrated by Aparna Ram, pays an ode to these women, the costume designers and the culture that inspired it all. “Aparna and I both grew up in London, and Bollywood films had a huge influence on our traditional dress sense. When we decided to work on this book, Aparna, Priya [Kapoor, Editorial Director of Roli Books], and I drew up a list of such films. Finally, after speaking to fashion and film experts, we decided…

1) The one thing that I’m totally hopeless at…Maths! 2) A quality I find most unforgivable in a person…There are three, actually: bitterness, malice, and frustration. 3) An Instagram account I am absolutely obsessed with…The Avocado Show [@theavocadoshow]. They show different dishes made out of avocados. I’m obsessed with avocados! 4) The wildest thing I’ve ever done…I hope my dad doesn’t read this interview! Two of them are illegal for sure. The third is that I was in LA once, and told my parents I was going to watch a film, but actually took a flight with my friends to Vegas and spent the night there! My mom and dad never found out. 5) Never have I ever…lied about how I feel. 6) The one fashion designer I think creates absolute magic…Manish [Malhotra] uncle. I call…

Impatiently tapping feet, a sudden urge to run away, perpetual restlessness—anyone who has anxiety will be more than familiar with these feelings. But mental health is not a topic everyone’s either comfortable discussing, or completely aware of. So sometimes it seems like only you understand what’s really happening. But a lot of people go through it in our times. Due to a number of reasons. Here are some… 1 SOCIAL MEDIA We are never off our phones! The comments and Likes don’t stop until we fall asleep at night, and even then our phones keep pinging. The main correlation between social media and anxiety is the comparison factor. Like, when you see people living their best life on Insta, while you’re struggling to even get out of bed, you feel…

Most of the time, they know what to do, but are just looking for easier alternatives out of a difficult situation. Giving advice, however, isn’t as easy as it’s made out to be. Sometimes you have to think on your feet, be a good listener, and not offend anyone. Here’s what you should be aware of when playing advisor to a friend in need… GET PERMISSION When they’re going on about their quandaries, ask for permission before you start giving out suggestions.…

START So…why’d you split? I may have overreacted slightly when he was late to our Euphoria marathon. What’s the politically correct way to say ‘HE IS CANCELLED’ in 2019? He’s moving to Africa (or okay, just away). How have you handled stuff like this in the past? It takes some time, but I always get through it. 1 Immediate regret and a very incriminating plea-mail that will exist in my nightmares for the next 16-plus years. 3 Do espresso martinis count as breakfast? 4 I take myself on vacation and post endless thirst traps. It’s revenge szn! 5 Laughter is therapy. Nothing like pushing your emotions so far down, you can’t feel warmth! Did you want to break up? 1 *dry-heaves into paper bag* 2 I can’t tell if I’m…

EYECONIC PAIRINGS This look is not for the faint-hearted. Don’t get us wrong, we’re not asking you to step out of the house looking like someone splashed colour on you…the idea is to create a bold eye look using painterly strokes. Start by using a cream-to-matte shadow like L’Oréal Paris Infallible Paints Eye Shadow (it offers two contrasting shades, is easy to blend, and once dry, doesn’t budge at all), and swipe on the bolder shade in the centre of the lids, blending it outwards in an uneven finish. Add a hint of lighter shadow in the inner corner of eyes in a similar fashion…the messier, the better. Need more drama? A few coats of volumising mascara should do the trick. Cover up imperfections with a concealer (skip the foundation…
