The world of beauty: weird and wonderful
The world of beauty: weird and wonderful
A look at bizarre cosmetics and beauty treatments coming soon to India.
The bagel head
It's currently a rage among Japan's set of extreme body-modifiers and unusual fashion followers. The bagel head is a temporary treatment that uses a saline injection to give the impression of a bagel under the skin of a person's forehead. The dramatic results of the two-hour treatment last just 16-24 hours, after which the saline is absorbed by the body and the forehead comes back to normal. The technique was reportedly pioneered by Canadian photographer Jerome Abramovitch, who started saline infusions at an extreme body modification conference called Modcon way back in 1999.
Eyeliner and lip appliques
One of the trickiest looks to achieve is the winged cat-eye. If you struggle with the precision and steady hand required to achieve it, eyeliner appliques may be your saviours. Easy to stick on and remove, they come in embellished variants — in colours and crystal (see pic left). For those who'd love to experiment with their pout, look out for lip appliques (also known as temporary lip tattoos or transfers) in crazy designs — polka dots, animal print, glitter, checkered, even the Union Jack, seen on international celebrities Jessie J, Kelly Rowland, Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian.
Crooked and gap teeth
That perfect set of pearly whites is no longer the end goal in high fashion. Women are actually paying cosmetic dentists to get the gap between their front teeth widened to look like supermodels Lindsey Wixson (see pic right), Lara Stone and Georgia Jagger, or singer Madonna. Another rage is paying dentists to get the crooked teeth look artificially by affixing plastic fronts to their real teeth. Both trends have one thing in common beside contrived imperfection — a fixation with youth.
Bleached brows
They may have started popping up at resort and summer fashion shows ( Gucci, Bottega Veneta) a few seasons ago, but the 2013 catwalks proved that barelythere peroxidetreated eyebrows aren't fading out. For those who don't want to make their brows invisible, take a hint from popstar JLo who lightened them slightly. Another bizarre take on this trend are coloured brows — in orange ( Prada), pink and blue. All you have to do is find a mascara in the right shade and use it over your brows instead of the lashes.
