fashion Tips and Tricks

HELP!!! I need a make up update, I can’t wear my makeup the same as in my 20’s?

A: To make your skin look bright and fresh, try a dewy foundation, Healthy is the new gorgeous. Add a hint of colour and highlight your cheeks with a crème blush. Express yourself with a flash of cobalt or emerald green eyeliner, and lashings of mascara.

What to do when it comes to applying make up and you don’t know where to start or what to buy!!

A: Invest in being pretty and practical. Your secret weapon is a professional make up artist, to have you red carpet ready for a night out on the town. Look glamorous and learn some of the insider’s tips whilst having your make up done.

The Trend: tousled, sleepy hair with soft volume…..but how do I do this at home??

A: Wash your hair before bed and dry roughly, create 2 loose braids or plaits, sleep in them and when you wake undo your loose tousled waves. To reveal your inner Femme Fatale, try a vintage inspired hair slide or head band, a great way to glam up after a day at the office.

Can I wear Red lips too??

A: Almost anyone can wear red lips, it’s a matter of finding the right colour for your skin tone. Fair complexions try bright blue based reds or true scarlet, while olive skin works best with deep berry and brown tinged crimson. Broadway belle’s need to make sure you line your lips, powder, apply, blot and then reapply for lasting luscious lips.
If you can’t quite brave the poppy pucker, try the glossy version. Another way to keep the look modern is to not line the lips, use a hint of the lipstick as a stain and a slick of gloss.

Can’t be bothered blowdrying?

A: Right now the hottest hair trends are soft, unkept and a little wild. Our scruffy chic applies a volumising spray to clean dry hair and blasts with her hairdryer to set the product. Hair is then pulled back softly and the underneath 2 finger teased to create bulk and finished with a spray shine product.

Smouldering smoky eyes have stolen the spotlight again, but how do I update the look?

A. Instead of using charcoal tones, try chocolate tones blended towards the temple for a slight feline look.
