Beauty Rules 101...



# Put down the hair dryer and step away from the power point. Unless…it’s for a special occasion, but otherwise try to stop using it, let your hair dry naturally.

# Stop being so shy when it comes to your makeup! Rock a loud lip and a cats eye.

# Try before you buy! Play around with different products at the makeup counter at MAC, Mecca or perhaps you’re a fan of Revlon (Like myself)? But, whichever counter it is, test the products on your hand. Ask the makeup girls to apply it for you, then have a little walk around (making sure to test the look in different lights) and then you have my permission to BUY, BUY, BUY!

# Stop shying away from black eyeshadow. Did you know that you should be sporting black eyeshadow when you have dark circles? Just ask our besties Kate Moss and Cyndi Lauper. Use a metallic black shadow. Catwalk makeup artist, Andrew Gallimore says, “the blacker the better”.

# I’m a fan of the swinging 60’s. The mod look has made a comeback! But, not just in the form of fashion. Do your eyes need a little lift? Apply a pastel shadow to your lids and then dip your brush in a gel liner for a smooth line. Flick out the liner so that it almost reaches your brow (don’t go past the eyebrow…things could get awkward).

# Achieve a healthy glow by sweating it out…or, if time gets the best of us we can cheat that “I’ve just been for a run” flushed look by using a heated mask. Either of these activities stimulates the blood, giving you that glowing complexion. 

# I’ve been a fan of the medium length nail for some time now. The nail that doesn’t go over the finger tip can wear any colour, but you’ve been warned! The long nail is back! I’m not really sure how I feel about this. Celebrities have been sporting fake nails and I’ll be honest, I hate fake nails! Red is also on trend, along with nail art. 

So, get trying & buying!
