A Brief History on Alexander McQueen by Akash Khatri A Brief History on Alexander McQueen 1 January 2021 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement If you are fond of premium fashion labels and well aware of the high-level fashion brands then you must be well acquainted with the Alexander McQueen label. The first genuine curiosity for the ones who are not familiar with this name would be who is Alexander McQueen? Alexander McQueen was a famous British fashion designer who brought a revolution in the fashion industry with his rebellious fashion innovations back in the 1980s. He got himself in the fashion industry quite early in his life but soon his flamboyant and out-of-the-box and bold fashion styles brought him under the spotlight. McQueen’s early runway collections developed his reputation for controversy and shock tactics with trousers aptly named “bumsters” and a collection titled “Highland Rape”. These collections had also made people from the Brit fashion industry cringe, but eventually, his talent prevailed, and he became known for his dramatic and extraordinary fashion shows and cat-walks which were sheer head-turners for everyone. He was also one of the first fashion designers who worked with Indian models in London. Some of McQueen’s accomplishments included being one of the youngest designers to achieve the title “British Designer of the Year”, which he won four times between 1996 and 2003 also he was into a partnership deal with the Gucci group and his own label which he founded in the year 1992. By the end of the year 2007, McQueen had his own fashion house established in the cities of London, New York, Los Angeles, Milan, and Las Vegas. Coming to his personal life, he was gay and quite vocal about his sexuality and he never hid anything from the world. But in his later life, he became addicted to drugs and even was depressed. In February 2010 he hanged himself in his home in London and left the entire world in shock and remorse. His psychologists said that he was into depression for three years consecutively and as an escapade, he was into heavy drugs. At the time of Alexander McQueen’s death, he had an eighty percent finished Autumn/Winter collection. 16 pieces of this collection were presented during Paris Fashion Week on 8 March 2010 as a tribute to this great fashion designer.

Seerat Kapoor – An All-rounder’s journey in today’s era by Aparajita Jaiswal Seerat Kapoor – An All-rounder’s journey in today’s era 30 June 2022 COVER STORIES Advertisement Seerat Kapoor has indeed been an all-rounder through her dancing, singing and acting. When asked about her experience training with Ashleigh Lobo, she reveals- “In all honesty, when I started off as a dancer, I had no long term plan of taking it up as a choreographer. I had merely taken it to train the passion that I have towards dance. I enrolled into Ashleigh’s company as a student, along with a couple of seniors who within my first class spotted me and offered me a scholarship program.” Moreover, the artist claims that she became a co-member of Ashleigh’s team and was landed with the opportunity of working as a choreographer in the movie, Rockstar. Taking a sneak peek into the artist’s journey as an actor, Seerat reveals that performing theatrical dance trained her to “face the camera and the big screen”. Seerat’s parents guided her through the process of training professionally as a singer. “I was very young and my parents had this knack of already understanding that there were two creative kids born to them, my brother and I. My parents thought if I trained, I could potentially stand up in the field of professional singing. At that point, all I wanted was to dance, sing and act. I remember a very open conversation at home about how Hindustani Classical music influences your vocal training.” The artist’s inspiration game is rather idealistic and taken from various forms. “I draw inspiration from everywhere, there are no one or two people, not just industry professionals, but the people I work with. Right from the management to my PR to the team that supports me; everyone inspires me. Seeing old ladies in the gym is an inspiration. Therefore, it’s holistic and I’m also inspired by many films and performances by actors.“ Being a public figure can bring out its “pros and cons”. According to the artist, the perception of a situation and whether it is bound to work in favour or not is in the stride of an actor. Her approach towards negative criticism is constructive as she looks at them as opportunities for her betterment in her art. Seerat Kapoor appeared in Slow Slow music video with Badshaah and Abhishek and has been working on several projects currently. She claims that featuring in Slow Slow music video was extremely good. The opportunity was out of her comfort zone. She added that meeting Badshah created a personal level attachment on a deeper level. In terms of her recent projects, the artist reveals that she has a Bollywood debut release with Tushar Kapoor Entertainment Productions along with veterans such as Nawazuddin Siddiqui sir. She is currently filming another movie with Suryadevara Naga Vamsi.“ The conversation was extremely delightful. Seerat concluded the interview with a heart- wrenching message for her fans. “I want to tell my fans that they have been such a great support and I won’t stay silent here, because they very loudly cheer for me when I put up something.“ #TaraTaraKhandelwalBooksBooksandbeyondBoundWritersReadersAuthorsLiterary #Love #depression #society #Seerat #Fashion #SeeratKapoor #lutopia #Anxiety #Reality #LutopiaMagazine #skincare #Life #Kapoor #Mentalhealth SEARCH A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma COVER STORIES Inner Joy Trails My Inspiration : A Candid Conversation With The Creative Anushka Kaushik COVER STORIES Barkha Singh’s candid candour makes the way to an eye-catching interview COVER STORIES Educate, Empower, Excel: Priyanka Chahar Choudhary's Inspirational Overture COVER STORIES Waluscha De Sousa On Being Her ‘True Self’ And Going On The Dream Journey COVER STORIES POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Sakshi Shah The Many Chapters Of Lekha Prajapati, From Performer To Storyteller 6 July 2026 COVER STORIES By Sakshi Shah Across Languages, One Voice: Sheena Chohan 1 April 2026 COVER STORIES By Sakshi Shah Mananveer Singh On Making Music That Feels Natural And Real 24 March 2026 COVER STORIES By Sakshi Shah Falak Khan On Acting, Identity, And Letting Her Work Speak For Itself 9 March 2026 COVER STORIES RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement

by Rupashree Ravi All About Homebrewing: The Art of Making Probiotic Fermented Beverages 2 August 2022 FOOD Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement From being gut-friendly and improving digestion to keeping you hydrated and healthy, there are a number of reasons why fermented beverages are finding favour with people all across the world. More and more people are drinking and making non-alcoholic beverages as it offers a host of benefits. Homebrewing, which is simply making beer or wine on a personal and small-scale level, is a hobby and a profession for many. The reason is, that it is high on flavour, low on alcohol, and does not require any fancy equipment. The process of fermenting and making probiotic drinks is very easy, anyone can do it. Homebrewing has become a great hobby and experiment that people are taking up in recent days. The basic idea is to brew a taste test batch of your favourite beverage at your home, be it Kombucha, Tepache, Ginger Beer, Red Table Wine, among a wide variety of options. It can be intimidating at first, but can be very rewarding, and cheap! All you really need is a big vessel, something fermentable, and some yeast. “There are a variety of beverages you can brew and once you get the basics down, it can be simple to add your own unique twist to a recipe.” A great way to start is by brewing a Hard Cider. The easiest method is crushing the juice from a batch of apples, putting it in a jug, and letting it ferment in a dark place for one to three weeks. Apple skins contain various natural yeasts, which end up in the apple juice when the fruit is pressed, but you can choose to add cider yeast which is great for fermentation. You can also add sugar and spices to enhance the taste. Another brewer’s favourite is the Kombucha, which is a great alternative to alcoholic beverages. It is naturally packed with probiotics and is made with water, tea, sugar, bacteria, and yeast. It starts out as a sugary tea, which is then fermented with the help of a SCOBY, an acronym for ‘Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast.’ It is refreshing, fizzy, slightly sour, and low in calories and sugar. You can ferment Kombucha for seven to ten days in a mason jar and close it shut with a tightly woven cloth and lid. Tepache is a fizzy fermented drink made from just pineapple skin, sugar, cinnamon, and water. Its taste can range from cider-like and sweet to yeasty like beer. The process is simple: add pineapple peels to a large jar, add sugar and cinnamon and drown them in water until the peels come to the surface of the jar. Let it ferment for one to three days. The longer it ferments, the less sweet and more yeast-flavoured it will become. You will know the tepache has fermented when you see many small bubbles on top. Refrigerate and enjoy your drink! A batch of Kombucha (left) and Tepache (right) kept for fermentation A sparking probiotic beverage that is very easy to make, Ginger Beer is a traditional remedy for nausea and digestion problems and is good for the throat. You will need to make a powerful fermented mixture, Ginger Bug to make this drink. The wild yeast or ginger bug is made by adding water, sugar, and finely chopped ginger to a glass container and letting it sit for twenty-four hours after stirring. Take the next two-three days to add the same amount of ginger and sugar every twenty-four hours until it becomes fizzy. Strain it and add lemon juice. Let it sit at room temperature for three to six days until it gets fizzy. Once they’ve reached that point, you can refrigerate them; but make sure you’re opening the top and burping them once a day. Ginger Beer and Red Table Wine are said to be great for health having healing properties To make a batch of Red Table Wine, add one cup of sugar into a bottle of purple grape juice, add a packet of wine yeast, pop in an airlock, and come back in a few weeks. Alternatively, you can add around three quarts of the juice to a glass jar, before adding six cups of sugar and a pack of yeast. With these amazing and easy-to-make beverages, you can start homebrewing some of your own in no time. It’s a healthy hobby and is definitely a skill that comes over a period of time. Ultimately, it will be worth all the time and effort. Moreover, it is the best way to take part in an age old tradition that stretches all the way back to the Neolithic! #Homebrewing #Fermentation #Probiotic #Kombucha #SCOBY #Tepache SEARCH How to keep your skin healthy naturally FOOD Fantasy breakfast FOOD All About Homebrewing: The Art of Making Probiotic Fermented Beverages FOOD Virgin Territory: These non-alcoholic thirst quenchers are mixologist approved FOOD Tasting the sunny side of Christmas: Christmas Cocktails FOOD POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Sakshi Shah Mumbai’s Take On Valentine’s, From Dinners To Sweet Endings 10 February 2026 FOOD By Shriniwas Kodape Breeze By Lebua State Tower: Duck Skin, Oolong, And The Distance Between Who You Are And Who You Were 9 September 2025 FOOD By Shriniwas Kodape China Table Restaurant At Radisson Blu Plaza Bangkok: A Dim Sum Story At Dusk 7 September 2025 FOOD By Shriniwas Kodape The Blooming Gallery: A Fever Dream Of Matcha And Moss 15 August 2025 FOOD RELATED POSTS Advertisement

Mood Indigo, IIT Bombay’s Iconic Celebration Of December LIFESTYLE Mood Indigo, IIT Bombay’s Iconic Celebration Of December By Shriniwas Kodape 14 December 2025 Advertisement Every winter, something extraordinary happens at IIT Bombay. The campus quietly sheds its academic rhythm and steps into something far more alive. Music spills into corridors. Open lawns turn into dance floors. Conversations begin with strangers and end as friendships. This transformation has a name that carries decades of memory and madness. Mood Indigo 2025 . From 16th to 18th December, IIT Bombay will once again become a living celebration of youth culture. Thousands of students from across India and beyond will gather not just to attend a festival but to live inside it. Mood Indigo is not about watching from the sidelines. It is about participation. It is about showing up as you are and leaving with stories you will carry for years. What sets Mood Indigo apart is its soul. It remains completely free for college students, a rare and powerful statement in today’s festival landscape. Here, access is not bought. It is earned by curiosity, creativity, and the simple desire to belong. MI feels like a reminder of what youth culture is meant to be. Open. Inclusive. Fearlessly expressive. What began in 1971 as a modest campus celebration has grown into Asia’s largest college cultural festival. Over five decades, Mood Indigo has become more than an annual event. It has evolved into a legacy. A space where generations of students have discovered their voice. A platform where artists connected with audiences long before the world knew their names. A place where memories outlast degrees. Walking through Mood Indigo feels like entering a parallel city. One where fashion is personal and experimental. One where conversations flow easily and nights stretch endlessly. One where every corner offers something unexpected. From high energy cultural competitions and street performances to design showcases, art installations, and interactive zones, creativity is not curated. It simply exists everywhere. Mood Indigo 2025 promises to take that experience even further with a lineup that speaks directly to the pulse of this generation while honoring nostalgia. Taking center stage this year is Sonu Nigam. His voice carries decades of emotion and collective memory. A Sonu Nigam performance at MI is not just a concert. It is a shared moment where thousands sing together, smile together, and feel something deeply familiar. Adding an international touch is Dhruv, the global indie pop artist whose music resonates with young audiences across the world. His presence reflects MI’s global outlook and its ability to connect cultures through sound. Hip hop lovers are in for a thrill with Seedhe Maut and Karma, bringing raw energy, sharp lyricism, and unapologetic honesty to the stage. For those drawn to musical depth and soul, The Anand Bhaskar Collective offers rich fusion sounds that blend tradition with modern expression. Chaar Diwari brings an experimental edge that challenges comfort zones and expectations. And when the night calls for something spiritual, Bismil’s sufi performance promises a powerful pause. A moment of stillness amid the chaos. As the lights grow brighter and the tempo rises, Belgian EDM artist Romeo Blanco will take over, turning the campus into a high energy playground of sound and movement. These nights at Mood Indigo are not meant to be remembered quietly. They are meant to be felt fully. Beyond music, Mood Indigo carries the excitement of cinema, storytelling, and laughter. Bollywood stars including Rakul Preet Singh, Pulkit Samrat, Vicky Kaushal, Jaideep Ahlawat, Archana Puran Singh, and Kavitha Seth will be making appearances, adding glamour without distance. These moments feel intimate, unscripted, and human. Just like MI itself. Comedy finds its space too, with Rahul Subramanian delivering laughter filled sets that cut through stress and seriousness with ease. At Mood Indigo, even laughter feels collective. What truly defines Mood Indigo is not just who performs or who attends. It is how it makes people feel. It gives students a space to express themselves without judgment. It allows talent to be celebrated loudly. It reminds everyone that creativity thrives when freedom exists. So mark your calendars and gather your friends. From 16th to 18th December, IIT Bombay is where December finds its rhythm. Register now at moodi.org and follow @iitbombay.moodi on Instagram for updates and announcements.

by Akash Khatri TRAVEL Rules, London by Akash Khatri 1 December 2021 Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement When you think of the British culture, the one thing that comes to everyone’s mind is – the word ‘posh’. And what about the British food culture? Like every other part of the world, the UK has a conventional, classic, comforting and unique food. And what’s better than London’s oldest restaurant for getting a glimpse of the classic British cuisine? Rules, London’s oldest and finest restaurant was built in 1798 by Thomas Rule, in Covent Garden. The restaurant began as an oyster bar. Writers at the time rule started, admired the “rakes dandies and superior intelligence’s”. Not only has ‘Rules’ fed some of the world-famous writers such as Charles Dickens and William Thackeray but also has been mentioned in some great novels by John le Carrè and Claire Rayner. A cosy restaurant with an equally comforting bar, Rules gives one the feels of both- countryside and city. The classic British food on the menu is a great match with the friendly and luxurious service. Right from the moment you enter and leave your coat at the door, the place feels like you’ve actually entered the 18th century definition of ‘luxury’. Dining amongst the golden interiors, velvet red chairs like those in the old times and mahogany furniture, is an unexpected grandeur. And if you happen to visit on a Sunday, you might be lucky enough to see the bottle-green, vintage Rolls Royce- named ‘Bubbles’ in front of the restaurant. Coming to the food, Rules has a surprisingly wide choice on the menu. And it’s clearly obvious that after a huge success of 222 years, the food is outstanding. There’s a variety on the menu that displays the impeccable take on British delicacy perfectly served in fine silverware, brings forth the traditional flavours. When it comes to desserts, this is one restaurant in London with an amazingly evocative selection of sweet treats. And if you still haven’t had your fill, the cocktail bar upstairs gives you a choice of any cocktail of your liking with an elegant Rules twist. Rules is a heritage restaurant, with a fine collection of antique cartoons, drawings and paintings. The tradition is one of the most important features. This extremely comforting piece of history is full of life and yet takes you to a different era. With their crimson and gold carpets , and velvet lined booths, every inch of Rules depicts rich heritage. The menu is the best-of-British classics featuring native oysters, traditional beef, pies – fish or chicken, leek and mushroom. And you’ll be treated like an old friend from the moment you enter, as you’re greeted by the doorman. And you’ll be leaving with a satisfied heart and appetite and a smiling face.

Porsche Unveils The Next Generation 911 Cup: Precision, Power, And Purpose For 2026 LIFESTYLE Porsche Unveils The Next Generation 911 Cup: Precision, Power, And Purpose For 2026 By Anurag Sen 24 August 2025 Advertisement There’s an unmistakable presence when a Porsche 911 lines up on the grid: the low, assertive stance, the unmistakable cry of its naturally aspirated flat-six, and the way it demands commitment from anyone behind the wheel. For 2026, Porsche has sharpened that character even further, revealing the 992.2-based evolution of the world’s most celebrated one-make racer, a car designed not to change its DNA, but to elevate it. The Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car has long been the heartbeat of the Porsche Carrera Cup championships and the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup , building a legacy on reliability, drivability, and precision engineering. This new iteration builds on that winning formula with targeted refinements that aim to make it faster, more consistent, and more rewarding over the course of a season. At its heart remains the 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six, a masterpiece of mechanical honesty now tuned to deliver sharper throttle response and broader power delivery. The output remains at a formidable 510 PS, but Porsche’s engineers have focused on fine-tuning drivability, ensuring racers can extract peak performance lap after lap without sacrificing mechanical sympathy. The six-speed sequential gearbox, operated via steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, returns with updates for quicker, cleaner shifts, marrying durability with precision. Aerodynamics take a leap forward for 2026. Discrete turning vanes hidden behind the wheel arches guide airflow with greater precision, working in tandem with a reshaped underbody that enhances stability when the brakes bite hard. At the rear, a new swan-neck mounted rear wing offers broader adjustability, giving teams the ability to tailor downforce to track conditions without disrupting the car’s finely balanced handling. The net result is a car that feels planted in high-speed corners yet alive in the driver’s hands. Suspension geometry has been subtly reworked to improve mechanical grip, particularly in slow- to medium-speed corners where tenths are often found. Revised damper tuning and reinforced components promise improved feedback without compromising the Cup car’s well-earned reputation for resilience in the heat of competition. New generation Michelin racing slicks developed in parallel with the chassis updates promise better warm-up characteristics and longer peak performance windows. Inside, the 2026 Cup car blends purpose with comfort in the way only Porsche Motorsport can manage. The FIA-compliant safety cage remains a central element, but the seating position has been fine-tuned for better ergonomics and sightlines. A new multi-function display provides clearer telemetry and data readouts, ensuring drivers have instant access to crucial performance information mid-lap. The 992.2 GT3 Cup will make its competitive debut in the 2026 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup before filtering into the Carrera Cup series across the globe. This rollout strategy mirrors the car’s development process, rigorous, global, and laser-focused on ensuring the car is as adaptable to street circuits as it is to fast, flowing tracks. In a motorsport landscape that is constantly evolving, the new 911 Cup remains a purist’s delight: unapologetically mechanical, beautifully engineered, and built to reward commitment. It’s a car that doesn’t just race it continues to teach the art of precision driving, one corner at a time.

by Rupashree Ravi TRAVEL Why the Maldives doesn’t fail to amaze tourists worldwide by Rupashree Ravi 5 August 2022 Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement A made-for-Instagram spot, the Maldives is the new go-to favourite for tourists all over the world. It has become the world’s greatest and most special island destination. The warm climate, exquisite white sandy beaches, and incredible underwater marine life are the main reasons why many tourists visit the country, along with recreational pursuits like scuba diving, snorkelling, and surfing. The country is a collection of many tiny coral islands. Each island has at least one resort, which is surrounded by a lagoon, making it a paradise for tourists. There’s a beach for every person in the Maldives What is so special about this place? One of the first things is the peace and tranquillity of the island that attracts tourists in this busy world. You can only hear the sound of sea waves with no crowds or rush. The magnificent reefs and museums add to the ultimate Maldives experience. Some of the must visit places in the Maldives are The Grand Friday Mosque, the glowing beach at Vaadhoo Island, the Whale Submarine, the capital city of Male and of course, the breathtaking and exotic island beaches. Moreover, the dining experiences are unique and very delightful. There are plenty of choices from the Mediterranean to Asian cuisines and live grills. Some dishes are par excellence, where you sit under a starlit sky in an exclusive private dining experience on the beach. Without doubt, seafood is a must try like the Rihakuru, live lobsters, fish curries and cutlets, which is a staple diet. Nothing beats a beachside meal The craze to visit the island country increased more than ever before as Covid-19 lockdowns around the world were gradually lifted. The Maldives was one of the first countries to open international borders in mid-2020, with strict guidelines and measures to curb the virus. And thus, the Maldives became the most popular holiday destination and the biggest international tourism success story in 2020-21. The pandemic became the real game changer as Indians, in particular, started preferring the Maldives to other beach destinations like Goa, Thailand, and Malaysia. Because unlike the crowded and somewhat unhygienic beaches at these destinations, the Maldives was promoted as a safe haven and social distancing-friendly location. They began seeing the destination as a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon experience. With Indian celebrities and influencers visiting the country for vacations, staycations and even photoshoots and promoting it with the tagline ‘Isolation never looked this good’, the awe for the beautiful country only kept increasing. For the discerning Indian traveller, the Maldives gave a value for money and affordable luxury for all.

Mastering Modern Elegance: 7 Ferragamo Pieces to Elevate Your Everyday By Teyana Sharma Mastering Modern Elegance: 7 Ferragamo Pieces to Elevate Your Everyday 7 June 2026 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement There is a distinct, almost intoxicating magic that happens when a fashion house honors its century-old heritage while keeping its finger firmly on the pulse of the future. Under the sharp creative direction of Maximilian Davis, Ferragamo has mastered this exact balance. In the L'utopia fashion closet, we watch micro-trends cycle at lightning speed, but true luxury isn't about the noise—it’s about the pieces that effortlessly elevate your quietest, everyday moments. To build a wardrobe rooted in longevity, you need versatile staples that live and breathe with you. We have meticulously curated the ultimate editor-approved guide to Ferragamo’s latest collection. From the perfect day-to-night dress to the ultimate silk finish, these seven investment pieces are designed to redefine your daily style. 1. The Foundation: The Viscose Mini Dress with Gathered Waist Every timeless wardrobe requires a hero dress that transitions from a high-stakes afternoon meeting to a dim-lit dinner gallery seamlessly. This viscose mini dress handles that transition with absolute grace. The gathered waist contours the body without feeling restrictive, while the fluid drape of the premium viscose fabric moves beautifully with every step. It is a masterclass in effortless, undone sophistication. The Editor's Take: Pair it with tailored blazers for the day, or let the structural waist design stand alone for evening drinks. 2. The Daily Step: The Gancini Ornament Sandal Finding a sandal that offers all-day wearable comfort while maintaining an unapologetically chic profile is rare. The Lumya 55 features a perfectly balanced mid-heel height that lifts your posture without tiring your feet. Finished with the signature Gancini ornament across the front, it frames the foot beautifully and adds an immediate touch of Italian sophistication to tailored trousers or summer midi skirts. The Editor's Take: This is your new warm-weather footwear staple. It delivers stiletto-level elegance with block-heel stability. 3. The Under-The-Arm Essential: The Mini Clutch There is a profound charm in carrying only what you truly need. This mini clutch cuts through the noise of heavy, over-embellished logowear with its clean, architectural lines and buttery-smooth leather finish. Tucked under the arm or carried gently by hand, its minimalist aesthetic speaks volumes about refined taste without ever having to shout. The Editor's Take: Deceptively spacious, it easily secures your essential cards, smartphone, and a signature lipstick for close-up touch-ups. 4. The Romantic Accent: The Anemone Print Silk Scarf No Italian ensemble is truly complete without the fluid romance of pure silk. Ferragamo's Fo Anemoni scarf features an intricate, hand-drawn archival botanical print that feels like wearable art.

By Teyana Sharma By Teyana Sharma The Pre-Makeup Glow Audit: How Nykaa Rice Water And Glycolic Acid Perfected My Foundation Finish 12 November 2025 BEAUTY Advertisement Advertisement Every beauty editor has a secret handshake with their favorite foundation—a moment of silent, knowing appreciation for that flawless coverage. But let’s be honest: even the most expensive foundation is only as good as the canvas beneath it. For years, I chased the perfect primer, hoping for a miracle product that could smooth texture, eliminate dullness, and blur pores all at once. What I needed wasn't a product to sit on my skin, but a ritual to refine it. I needed an ultimate glow-prep routine. It took abandoning the heavy, silicone-laden primers and turning back to the fundamentals to find my Holy Grail—a simple, dual-step prep powered by the ancient secrets of rice water paired with the modern brilliance of Glycolic Acid. The true makeup hack isn't a setting spray or a contour trick; it’s a commitment to a smooth, radiant base that needs minimal coverage. Enter the game-changing duo from Nykaa : a cleansing ritual that polishes without stripping, and a milky mist that primes with pure hydration. Step 1: The Reset Button I've long been a skeptic of exfoliating cleansers, fearing the tight, dry feeling they often leave behind. But the Nykaa Collection Rice Water & Glycolic Acid Facewash is a revelation in gentle efficacy. It’s a moment of mindful cleansing that feels rich and non-stripping, yet delivers powerful resurfacing action. The star ingredients here, Glycolic Acid (AHA) and Rice Water , work in perfect synergy. Glycolic Acid is the gentle sculptor, delicately lifting away dead skin cells to smooth texture and refine pores. Meanwhile, the centuries-old wisdom of Rice Water—packed with vitamins and minerals—brightens the complexion and evens out tone. The result isn't just clean skin; it's skin that has been polished to a glass-like sheen, ready to drink up the next step. Step 2: The Glass Skin Veil If the facewash is the polish, the Nykaa Collection Milky Toner Mist With Rice Water & Glycolic Acid is the ultimate blurring, dewy veil. This product is the absolute key to achieving that luminous, expensive-looking makeup finish. Forget sticky primers. This isn't just a toner—it's a multi-tasking prep spray and a moisturizing milk combined into one lightweight mist. The "milky" texture delivers a burst of hydration that instantly plumps the skin and locks in moisture without a trace of oil. The continued application of Rice Water brightens, while the Glycolic Acid gently encourages collagen production, softening the appearance of fine lines over time. For me, this mist replaces my traditional primer. I spritz it liberally after cleansing and before my moisturizer (if needed), allowing the fine mist to settle. It creates a dewy, non-greasy canvas that grips makeup beautifully. My foundation glides over my skin rather than sinking into it, and that dreaded cakey appearance around the nose and forehead is virtually eliminated. It truly gives the skin an instant, bright radiance boost. This two-step routine is less about applying makeup and more about prepping a flawless, bright surface. The combination of gentle exfoliation and dewy, oil-free hydration ensures your skin is at its radiant best before the first drop of foundation even touches it. In the pursuit of that coveted ‘I woke up like this’ glow, remember this: the secret lies not in the makeup you apply, but in the canvas you create. The Nykaa Rice Water & Glycolic Acid pairing doesn't just treat your skin; it optimizes it. Trust me, your foundation will thank you.

By Sakshi Shah By Sakshi Shah For Mornings That Feel Easy And Look Put Together 19 March 2026 BEAUTY Advertisement Advertisement Some mornings feel slower in the best way. You wake up, check your phone, tell yourself you have time, and then suddenly you don’t but somehow, it all still works out. Not perfectly planned, not overly thought through, just a rhythm you’ve gotten used to. At the sink, things begin to fall into place. The Vinopure Purifying Gel Cleanser from Caudalie feels crisp and refreshing on the skin, clearing away the sleep without leaving it feeling dry. It’s that quick reset that makes you look a little more awake than you actually are. A few drops of the Vitamin C Clarifying Serum from SEREKO follow brightening, smoothing, and quietly helping your skin look more even. It’s one of those steps you don’t think much about, but you’d definitely notice if you skipped. The Barrier Relief Moisturiser from Formularx settles in easily, giving the skin a soft, balanced feel without any heaviness. Right after, the Sun Relief Ceramide Silk SPF from Formularx blends in like it belongs there. It’s smooth, invisible, and easy to carry through the day without that extra layer feeling. Getting ready happens in between everything else. A few taps of the Eye Light Concealer from Type Beauty brighten things up just enough, the kind of quick fix that makes it look like you slept well, even if you were up late rewatching something you’ve already seen… or replying to a text you probably could’ve ignored. The Hydra Jelly Tint from Type Beauty brings in that fresh flush. It melts into the skin, adding a hint of colour that feels natural, slightly glossy, and very easy to wear like you didn’t try, but still did. There’s always that one extra glance in the mirror. A soft sweep of shimmer from Tint Cosmetics lands on the lids — fine, luminous, and just enough to catch the light when you move. It’s the kind of detail you don’t plan, but end up appreciating later when you catch yourself in better lighting and think, okay, that worked. Lashes come next with the Glam Lash + Brow mascara from RE/DO Beauty. It's quick, clean, and defined. It lifts, separates, and adds that finishing detail that makes your face look instantly more put together. Then comes the final lip moment — a swipe from DIAM Beauty . It adds a soft sheen with just a touch of colour, pulling everything together in a way that feels easy, not overdone. Hair is usually a last-minute call. The Hairloom Hair Growth & Strengthening Serum from Skinvest smooths things out, adding a natural shine and helping the hair fall into place without fuss. It makes everything look a little more done, even if it wasn’t. A quick run-through with the D81M Smooth & Shiner from Denman keeps your hair neat, gently detangling and softening the overall look without taking up time you don’t have. As the day goes on, it’s the small details that stay with you. The Honey & Liquorice Moisturiser from Jungle Berry feels comforting on the skin, with a wildly Ayurvedic touch that keeps things simple and familiar without overcomplicating your routine. The Moringa & Kanaka Oil Hand Cream from Jungle Berry slips easily into your bag and into your day — softening, smoothing, and becoming one of those things you reach for absentmindedly during a call or while thinking through your next move. Right before stepping out, or sometimes once you already have, a light spritz of fragrance from Daily Compounds finishes things off. It sits close to the skin, subtle but noticeable in the best way, the kind of scent that lingers just enough to feel like a quiet signature. By the time you catch your reflection again, maybe in a lift mirror or your front camera — it all makes sense. Nothing feels overdone, nothing feels out of place. Just easy, polished, and quietly confident. And honestly, that’s the kind of put-together that lasts.
