Four different trends that are the key looks for this Fall.

Techno-Colour

Like Dan Flavin’s fluorescent sculptures of the 60’s, here’s colour that produces an electric halogenic effect. The media: pigments so pure and so sheer they look like they’re backlit. If you love colour, plug yourself in.

Technocolour

Photoshaped

Impact without colour. The face not painted but sculpted by neutral shades, light and the play of finishes. Depending on the gravity in which you layer these new neutrals your look can be ethereal, architectural or skewed to the androgynous.

Photoshaped

Future Graphic

For the new Futurist – looks that show off your graphic skills. Lines that say feline – with a sci-fi pedigree: elegant, sure, but with a dark side. The essence: boldly elongated eye lines, fluidly whipped and glossed into shape.

Future Graphic  

Taylored

Elizabeth Taylor’s eyes were velvety, hypnotic and return as an influence for this season where sensuality and a sense of sultry is key. For colour: smoky tones of grey and black… The must: ultra-plush lashes – faux is fine!

Beauty Tips

Our Make Me Up competition saw our inbox flooded with entries!

Here are our top picks:

  • Don’t budge: To keep makeup long lasting, use a primer to help prep the skin. It will keep your makeup looking fresh and last for longer without the need to touch up.
  • It’s all in the mind: Positive affirmation can do wonders with your body, not just your mind. Create a mantra to say to yourself whilst you go through your daily routine (such as ‘I have lovely glowing skin’). Most importantly, believe in what you are saying! The confidence you build will shine through.
  • Not just in the kitchen:
    • For tired, stressed skin slather on some creamy mayonnaise. Lie down for about 30 minutes than wash off with cool water and continue with your usual skincare regime.
    • Make your own body scrub made from any base oil, sugar and/or seasalt. Add some essential oils of your own choice.
    • Add bicarbonate soda to your cleanser for a homemade facial scrub.
  • Blemish Headaches: Take a few uncoated asprin pills. Crush the asprin together with a few drops of warm water till it forms a thick white paste. Spread onto your face and leave for about 10-15 minutes. Wash off, whilst massaging your skin. Your skin should feel radiant and soft!
  • Fine lines: Find it hard to get perfect tips with a DIY French manicure? Paint your tips – doesn’t matter if it is uneven – then tidy it up with a cotton tip or a small paintbrush dipped in nail polish remover to get a nice even line.

Congratulations to our prize winners Carole, Nicole, Lilly, Emma and Andrea. Thanks to all who entered.
