If the fatigue from the busy last few months is hitting you now, take cues from your favourite celebrities about keeping it simple in the beauty and self-care departments
With awards month, wedding season and other major cultural moments (like the Superbowl) wrapped up, it's a great time to catch up on your favourite celebrities' off-duty looks. Even when they were working (like Anushka Sharma on set and Hailey Bieber at Paris Fashion Week,) they eschewed full glam for a simpler approach.
Anushka Sharma, while on a video shoot set, stuck to barely-there makeup and a soft smoky eye, adding blush to her cheeks and a light pink stain on her lips. Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif, who spent some down-time together at Kaif's home, played with her makeup line Kay Beauty and followed suit. They both wore a matte nude lip and eye combination. Athiya Shetty posted a moody photo of her with fluffy brows and diffused makeup, while Katy Perry showed off her new hair extensions, which she paired with a monochrome (but shimmery!) peach shade on the eyes and lips.
Whether you take an hour of respite to hit the gym or squeeze in a massage, taking some time out of a busy week to indulge in self care is a great idea, and your favourite celebrities love doing it too. Take the case of Bella Hadid, who is smack-dab in the middle of Paris Fashion Week, but took a break to get facials and spa treatment at the Dior Spa in the city. “Recharging at the dreamiest place,” she captioned the photo. Lizzo, on the other hand, completed a cardio workout in the middle of her recording schedule, and Shilpa Shetty spent time doing core exercises, just a few days after welcoming her second child, Samisha through a surrogate. “My busy schedule keeps me on my toes , but I try to make sure my fitness routine doesn’t get affected. Adding a little creativity and variation to simple exercises can really turn it around,” she said. Kendall Jenner, on the other hand, spent some time taking Instagram photos with filters, proving that a no-makeup selfie serves as me-time too.
