Everyone wants to look their best and put their best foot forward at all times—whether going for a party, a casual get together, or a wedding—but they can’t afford to spend hours at a parlour or go to a professional makeup artist each time. So, this week You & I spoke to five leading makeup artists from the city who give us tips and tricks to achieve any look. Whether it’s a formal corporate look, a wedding look, or a cocktail evening one, we’ve got you covered. Turn to our Feature story for more.

On the cover this week is model-turned-actress Malvika Raaj who will make her debut in Tollywood with Jayanth Paranji directed film, Jayadev. The gorgeous damsel talks to us about how she got the offer and her experience on set, in Cover Story.

Our Mind & Body too has some simple yet vital homecare tricks that one should follow everyday to achieve that flawless, beautiful skin you’ve always been wanting.

Taking the theme forward, in People we have the young and gorgeous Gazal Rawlyani who’s a freelance makeup artist in the city. From her favourite beauty tricks to her go to brand for makeup, and even common faux pas that people make when it comes to makeup, Gazal spills the beans.

Talking to us about one of the major taboos in Indian society—speaking about one’s death—is Rajeev Aurangabadkar who recently launched an online portal that enables people to plan their lives better. Giftmylegacy.com is an interesting concept that assures people that even after their death, their family can continue living without unnecessary conflicts. Take a look at In the Spotlight for more details.

Lastly, in Wedding Moments we showcase the big day of Sourabh and Ayushi who recently tied the knot amidst a lavish ceremony.
