New Look for Autumn 2009

March 18th 2009 00:55
What’s a hot new look this autumn? Loreal make-up and hair artists say ‘simple, earthy and a little bit wild’ looks are in this autumn.

Eyes – eyeshadow shades of gold, black and chestnut brown if you want a more natural, ‘tamed’ look. To spruce it up, paler shades of green and/or rose would add a touch of glamour. Either way, coats of black mascara and black eyeliner would complement the ‘earthy’ touch.

Cheeks – go for a fresh, natural, sun-kissed glow by highlighting the cheekbones and the top of the nose with sheer shades of gold.

Lips – say goodbye to the overly glossy look like you’ve just devoured a whole bucket of KFC, but concentrate instead of plump, fully lips that are only slightly moist. Go for plumping lipcolours in soft neutrals or fiery reds with brown or golden brown undertones.

Hair – sleek, polished look is out but the windswept, slightly unkempt look is in (look to an old romance novel cover for inspiration). We’re talking big, voluminous curls or a wavy, textured style that’s full of movement, whether short or long. For colour, go for rich, golden undertones.

Golds, browns, fiery reds, windswept, unkempt…reminds me of a tree in autumn.

5 Beauty Predictions for 2009

February 2nd 2009 03:46
The following are 5 beauty products predicted to be more than a marketing gimmick and will actually make a big hit on the Australian shelves this year, according to msn.

Regenerist Micro-sculpting Cream $49.99

This luxurious cream is claimed to be a result of over 50 years of Olay research. With the highest concentration of Olay’s signature amino-peptide complex with a touch of marine proteins, this anti-ageing cream has been dubbed ‘the dream cream’ and progressively lifts and micro-sculpts the skin to restore elasticity, smooth the skin surface and helps firm sagging-prone areas.

I’m a big fan of Olay moisturisers so I’ll definitely watch out for this one when it hits our shelves this month.

Neutrogena Wave Power Cleanser $19.99

A battery-operated power cleanser guaranteed to give you a soft, glowing skin you’ll notice after the first use. The pack includes 14 deep clean, cleanser-infused foaming pads that removes more dirt, oil and makeup than with ordinary cleansing by massaging the foam deep into the pores. The soft texture of the pads also helps take out dead skin cells, leaving your face clear, smooth and glowing.

Lancome Oscillation Mascara $65
Vibrating. Infinite. Powermascara.
The first vibrating mascara with 7000 oscillations per minute, the mascara helps lengthen, separate and add volume to your lashes with one touch of a button.

Good Skin Labs Smooth 365 Intensive Clarity & Smoothing Pepti $69
This anti-ageing treatment promises visual and textural improvements to the skin, leaving it velvety soft, while offering long-term benefits. It’s a full-bodied serum that speeds peptides into the skin and is absorbed quickly while assisting in evening out the skin tone.

MAC Cosmetics Hello Kitty Range
Here’s one to encourage the young’uns to tinker with make-up.

MAC Cosmetics has teamed up with Sanrio to create the Hello Kitty Range. Catering to ‘people who love to play with makeup’ and are ‘sweet, sexy and slightly edgy, the range will offer two collections : The Hello Kitty Colour Collection and the more high-end Hello Kitty Kouture. The Hello Kitty Colour Collection includes six shades of lipstick such as Fashion Mews and Strayin, for around $25 each and two eyeshadow palettes containing four shades and will retail for around $50 each. Hello Kitty Kouture collection, with products boasting the Hello Kitty figure outlined in Swarovski crystals, has a retail price of up to $150 for a compact powder.

Make up Don't Break Up

November 29th 2008 18:25
Make up or War paint
There is a lot of different beliefs regarding make-up, in my opinion less is more. When your are young mother nature has given you a beautiful wrinkle free complexion so why hide under layers of oil or water based artificial pigment. Let you natural beauty shine through remember make-up is only to improve on what was given to you at birth. I have been a fully qualified cosmetologist for about 15 years now and I have advised this to my younger clients. Teenagers through lack of confidence pile it on thinking that they will hide all their imperfections when really they had just highlighted them, you see that is what make-up is a highlighter it draws attention to the good bits. A young girl starting out a bit of lip gloss and some mascara that’s all you need. At night in your room maybe with friends practice eye shadow and blush, make sure it is a friend who will tell you the truth. I used to have make-up parties when my friends were sleeping over we had great fun, trying to improve each other or just making a monster out of each other. Give it a try girls you need to hide nothing so this is your time to shine.
Getting older it happens to us all, I am in my 30’s and noticing some new lines that were not there before. Don’t think you can fill them with make-up it does not work remember in my previous paragraph you will just highlight them. His is when you take the focus off them, pay attention to your eyes but not too heavy just define them more with eyeliner and the brow bone should be a light shade. Define your lips more with lip pencil it also stops colour bleeding. Your blush should be minimal just highlighted. When your eyebrows are perfectly tweezed, your eye shadow is applied well along with definition created with the eye pencil, your cheeks hollow highlighted with a light blush maybe some highlighter at the top of the cheek and the most perfectly defined kissable lips ever you will be giving the stars a run for their money.
Getting on a bit believe it or not you use less make-up. My most important tip is lighter shade off lipsticks is the way to go because darker shades make you look older, try it you will see for yourself. Do not fall into the trap of too much powder I call them scone ladies, you should use a base near to your skin colour, lightly defined eyes and definitely lip liner because of colour bleeding. If you follow these steps you can embrace getting older because that brings its own beauty, the kind that shines from the inside.

Hair Today Not Gone Tomorrow

November 29th 2008 18:22
Hair
It does more than keep your head warm.
Hair can show a quiet, confident, trendy etc. Person. The colours you can get nowadays are exceptional, but also remember get advice because skin tone and lifestyle plays a big part, instead of complimenting you it can go horribly wrong. Each person is a individual and therefore will suit different things. Have a good look at yourself in the mirror, notice your colour of hair especially base tones ( (the actual colour black, brown. Red, blonde) then notice the natural highlights (best seen in daylight) Hair is made from the 4 basic pigments Black, brown, red, blonde whatever pigment you have most of is your all over colour. Highlights you will notice more at the front, hair is always that bit lighter at the front because of the elements. Now that you have got that sorted out what colour should you go for.
A major change blonde – black this be a disaster if not done right. You have to use red pigment to avoid it turning green “not pretty” and the same vice versa.
Any colour can be achieved if you have got the confidence to try it and a change is as good as a holiday so go for it. Some people you have to strip the colour out of the hair completely in order to get the desired result.
Hair come under the fast growing cell category, it does not stop keeps on going as long as you do that is how when receiving chemotherapy it falls out. Chemotherapy targets fast growing cells like cancer in order to stop them and unfortunately stop the hair cells too but still a small price to pay because it usually grows back in.

September 23rd 2008 02:46

Review of new mascaras

August 19th 2008 02:19
If you’re like me, you’re a marketer’s dream because you get sucked into whatever ads are on TV, featuring beautiful people waving their shiny hair, glowing in their flawless complexion and flashing a thousand-watt smile. And before you know it, you’ve spent your hard-earned money on beauty products that end up going to your bin by the end of the week. So thank goodness for those experts who take the time out to review and critique up and coming products in the ever-growing beauty market.

Kay Montano, a makeup artist in London is a sceptic when it comes to many new trends, believing that most, if not all, beauty companies, are better at marketing their products than actually creating an innovative item worth keeping. Here, she rated 5 new mascaras :

The 10 Crappiest Celeb Plastic Surgery

May 20th 2008 00:14
It seems every time I open a gossip magazine these days, another starlet has opted for plastic surgery – on their nose, lips, buttocks, whatever - to the point that I can’t tell the difference when I do one of those quizzes where you have to guess which actress the lips/nose/eyebrows belong to. Well, a word of warning : below is a list of celebrities who probably frequent their plastic surgeon’s office more than they would their bathroom with disastrous and/or unnatural results –

Olay's Hits & Misses

February 27th 2008 01:49
I’m the kind of person who, when she discovers a good product, then has to try all the other beauty products endorsed by the same brand – and I still think I should have received some kind of loyalty reward from Clinique & Dermalogica! For the past one and a half years, I’ve been obsessed with Olay. The good news is Olay products aren’t as expensive as Clinique or Dermalogica. The bad news is, like with everything else, Olay has its hits & misses. Here are mine -

Would you have plastic surgery?

November 1st 2007 01:53
Michelle Pfeiffer was recently voted by US OK! readers as the #1 woman celebrity who has become more beautiful with age. Ms Pfeiffer says that the key to such a timeless beauty is simple – get enough sleep, eat well and exercise appropriately. She also adds that she is not interested in plastic surgery, claiming “All the plastic surgery in the world can’t stop you getting older”. So should we assume that she never had plastic surgery?

Michelle Pfeiffer - an ageless beauty

The discussion I had with my work colleagues over whether or not to believe that she did NOT have plastic surgery (with most insisting that she did judging by how the sides of her nose stretched when she smiles- whatever that means) then led to the question : Would you have plastic surgery, if money wasn't an issue? And by this, I mean for shallow reasons, as in you took one look at yourself in the mirror and thought, "Hmm...that area needs a bit of a nip and tuck."

How much do you spend to look good?

October 25th 2007 01:50
According to a research conducted by Co-Operative Insurance, an average woman will spend £180,000 on skin care, hair and nail products, spa treatments, perfumes, cosmetics and dietary regimes, all for the sake of looking good and appearing younger. This is money, Co-Operative Insurance insists, that is better off as a contribution towards retirement and when you think about it, that’s a whopping AUD$412,000!!!

How much do you think these all cost?

Think you’ll look good with Jessica Alba’s hairstyle?

October 23rd 2007 01:40
My sister had a haircut the other week, full of hope before she went into the hair salon because she had been dreaming about the Posh Spice bob for weeks now, thinking the hairstyle would give her that glamorous and sophisticated look that Posh is so much known for. Unfortunately, sis didn’t take into account that her face shape is wide and round and the result was akin to a pumpkin head with a bob hairstyle and longer scraggly strands at the front.

I’m sure my sister isn’t the only one who’s realised too late (and $60 poorer) that certain hairstyles just don’t do anything for them. I remember insisting on the Kelly Taylor look – the short, wavy bob that made Jennie Garth look girly and fun in 90210- and realising afterwards that the haircut only made me look like my dad. Magazines giving you tips on which hairstyles best suit your face shape and going by your hairdresser’s suggestions aren’t enough for me so I was glad when I came across Beauty Riot Instant Makeover.
