Lash lifts are one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. In under half an hour, your lashes can be transformed, reducing the need to wear mascara and subtly changing your whole look. Many people find this prospect very tempting, and find themselves returning to the salon time and again to get their lash lift redone. If you’re contemplating getting one done for the first time, check out this guidance on the procedure.

Professional Process

When it comes to the eyes, you don’t want anyone going near them who doesn’t know exactly what they’re doing. Do some research and make sure the salon you’ve having your lash lift done at is reputable, with fully trained staff.

Sensitive Eyes

If your eyes are on the sensitive side, make sure you have an open discussion with your lash artist before they start the procedure. While having sensitive eyes doesn’t automatically mean you can’t get a lash lift done, your lash artist may opt to use a different chemical formula or process to complete your lift.

Adjust Your Look

Many people find that a lash lift subtly alters their appearance, and this can lead them to change up their make up looks. Whether you choose to stop wearing mascara on a daily basis, choose a bright lip color to balance out your beauty look, or decide to highlight your eyes even further with some dramatic eyeliner, getting a lash lift done may inspire you to experiment with your beauty looks.

In recent years there has been a rise in the interest in more natural, simple beauty products. As people have begun to question whether all the chemicals in our skin and hair products are necessary, companies have been gradually releasing more ‘minimal’ and ‘natural’ ranges. However, many of these still contain many chemicals, and there are so many completely natural items that have amazing benefits for hair or skin. Here are some to try. 

Olive Oil

The thought of putting olive oil on your skin and hair might not sound particularly appealing, but it’s a product that has been used for centuries to moisturize and care for skin and hair, and it’s known to improve scalp health and help hair grow stronger.

Aloe Vera Gel

If you have an aloe plant around then this is perfect as you can take the gel in its purest form. If not, then many health and wellbeing stores will sell this gel which can be used as an anti-inflammatory skin product. 

Coconut Oil 

If you have very dry skin or hair, then coconut oil is your best friend. It’s 100% natural and is known for being intensely moisturizing and replenishing. You may need to melt it in your hands or with a warm bowl of water, and then it can be massaged into thirsty hair or delicate skin for soft, silky results.

Have you ever stopped to think that maybe those little changes in your skin might be telling you something? If your skin has been feeling off lately, it might be trying to signal that it’s time to ramp up the moisturizing. Let’s chat about how to spot these signs early and what you can do to give your skin the moisture it desperately needs.

Dryness and Flakiness

The most obvious sign that your skin needs more moisture is when it feels dry or appears flaky. Dry skin can feel tight and uncomfortable and might look dull or rough. The best thing you can do is increase your hydration routine by applying a richer moisturizer immediately after showering. 

Increased Sensitivity

With dry skin, you might notice that your skin becomes more reactive to products that previously caused no irritation. Opt for a hypoallergenic and fragrance-free moisturizer that calms the skin and reduces sensitivity. 

Fine Lines and Wrinkles Becoming More Noticeable

Dehydration can make fine lines and wrinkles appear more pronounced, as dry skin lacks the plumpness that moisture provides. If you notice that your skin looks older than it usually does, dehydration might be playing a part. Try incorporating a daily moisturizer that targets aging concerns along with hydration.

Brows have been big news in beauty for a while now, but there are so many products to choose from it can be tricky knowing which are worth the investment. If you’re seeking full, defined yet natural brows, these three products are key and definitely worth adding to your beauty kit.

Brow Brush

Simple yet effective, a brow brush will smooth out your brow hairs and ensure they are set in the direction you want them in. You can also brush your brows into more of an arched shape if this is the look you’re going for. Once brushed, use the other products listed here to set and define your brows.

Brow Powder

Use your brow brush to brush through a little powder in your desired shade. The best powders deliver color to help define and intensify your brows, as well as a little setting power to help keep your brows in the shape you brush them into. Less is more, so start off with just a bit of product before building it up—it’s easy to suddenly go overboard with it and end up with overdone brows.

Brow Gel

The final product to use in your three-step process, a clear or tinted brow gel will set your brows and add that little extra definition you’re looking for. You want a high-quality gel that won’t melt or flake onto your face as the day goes on, so it’s worth looking at higher-end brands with good reputations for brow products such as Benefit Cosmetics and Anastasia Beverly Hills.

Have you ever stood in the haircare aisle, overwhelmed by the array of brushes and not sure which one to grab? Whether you’ve got fine strands that tangle easily or thick locks that need taming, there’s a brush for that. Let’s dive in.

For Fine Hair: Soft Bristle Brush

If you have fine or thin hair, a soft bristle brush is ideal. These brushes often use natural materials like boar bristles, which help distribute your scalp’s natural oils throughout your hair without causing damage or unnecessary breakage. 

For Thick Hair: Paddle Brush

Those with thick, dense hair will benefit from using a paddle brush. This type of brush typically features a wide, flat base that allows you to work through large sections of hair effectively. The sturdy bristles can detangle thick hair without causing pain or damage. And the broad base helps smooth hair for sleek styles.

For Curly Hair: Wide-Tooth Comb or Detangling Brush

Curly hair is best managed with tools that minimize disruption to the natural curl pattern. A wide-tooth comb is excellent for gently detangling wet hair. Alternatively, detangling brushes designed for curly hair can help separate and define curls without pulling them apart. This will help maintain the integrity and shape of the curls.

If you pay attention to beauty trends, you may have noticed that the ombre lip was big news this year. Delivering a pop of graduated color, it’s a great way to add a little drama and interest to your everyday look. Hot on the heels of the ombre lip is ombre eyeshadow, which uses a similar concept and technique to add depth and interest to your eyes. Check out these tips on how to master this trend and make your eyeshadow pop.

Light Base

The most effective ombre eye looks begin with a light base. Don’t forget to prep your lids with a good primer (and give it time to set), then layer a cream, white, or pastel base color over your entire lid. Opt for a matte finish rather than a shimmer, as this will have longer staying powder and the other eyeshadow shades you layer over it will grip it better.

Build Color

Once your base is done, choose a color to layer over. Build up from the outer corner of your eye, as this is where you want the color to be darkest, then sweep the powder towards the middle of your eye. Blend out with a clean brush, to create a seamless effect. If you’re going for several colors, begin with the lightest and build up to the darkest tone.

Set It

The effect of your ombre eye will be lost if the shades bleed into each other, so complete the look with a high-quality setting spray. Mist the spray about eight inches from your face, keeping your eyes closed so the product covers your eyeshadow.

Developing a regular skincare routine that works for you isn’t an easy task, but we all come to a point when it becomes clear that we need it. If you’re struggling to commit to your skincare routine and aren’t sure where to start, these useful tips will give you a push in the right direction.

Don’t Overcomplicate It

The more products you decide to include in your skincare routine, the more difficult it will be to stick to it. That’s why it’s always a good idea to stick to the basic steps, such as taking off your makeup, cleansing, and moisturizing your face on a daily basis.

Perfect Timing

If your excuse for not having a skincare routine is the lack of time, consider multitasking and doing it while you’re showering. Forgetfulness can also be the reason to skip your skincare routine, so consider setting the alarm to remind yourself to get it done.

Before & After

Having a regular skincare routine will have a positive effect on your skin and you can track your progress and stay motivated by taking before and after photos.

Designated Space

It’s easier to commit to your skincare routine when the products you need aren’t scattered around your house, so make sure to have a designated space where you keep them all together.

Lipstick can make or break your beauty look and one of the most common bugbears is lipstick which fades or slides off after an hour or so. While one issue might be the quality of the lipstick, there are some things you can do to increase the longevity of the product. Check out these tips which will see your lipstick lasting well beyond your morning coffee.

Moisturize

Before you apply the lipstick, ensure that your lips are well conditioned with a softening balm. Ideally, apply this at least an hour before you apply lipstick, and ensure that you’ve gently exfoliated any dry skin from your lips by brushing over them with a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Double Up

Apply one coat of lipstick and give it time to dry before applying another over the top, just as you would with nail polish. This helps to increase the color intensity of the lipstick as well as its longevity.

Finishing Powder

Once you’ve applied two coats of lipstick, dust a translucent setting powder over your lips to help lock down the color. If you find this a little drying, add a final layer of clear gloss or balm once the powder has had five minutes to set.

Lots of hairdressers advise their clients to book in for a trim every eight weeks, but it’s easy to let time go by without getting a hair refresh. Many people can go longer than eight weeks without needing the ends of their hair trimmed, so if you don’t want to commit to super regular haircuts, just look out for these three key signs instead. If your hair is exhibiting any of these, it may be time to book in for a hair refresh with your stylist.

Dry, Split Ends

Perhaps the most obvious sign that hair needs a trim is if the ends are looking ragged, split, and dry. Sometimes, a high-quality conditioning treatment can rescue and restore ends, but if you’ve tried this and they’re still looking worse for wear then it’s time to book in with your salon.

Lackluster Curls and Waves

Most people’s hair has at least a hint of wave to it, and many of us have really wavy, curly, or coily hair. One clear sign that a haircut needs to be on the horizon is if your curls or waves are looking a little flat and lackluster. This may mean that your hair is struggling to hold a wave, it’s getting frizzy no matter what you try, or your waves and curls are not sitting as they normally do.

It’s Always in Your Face

Sometimes, the first sign that our hair is in need of attention is our formally neat bangs flopping into our eyes every other minute. Hair growth is something that is hard to monitor on a daily basis, but if you’ve got bangs or any form of shaping around your face, you should notice when this grows out. Many stylists will trim and reshape a fringe free of charge, but if it’s been a while since you had your hair cut it may be worth sitting in the chair for a bit longer and asking them to refresh your whole ‘do.

If you pay attention to beauty trends, you may have noticed that the ombre lip was big news this year. Delivering a pop of graduated color, it’s a great way to add a little drama and interest to your everyday look. Hot on the heels of the ombre lip is ombre eyeshadow, which uses a similar concept and technique to add depth and interest to your eyes. Check out these tips on how to master this trend and make your eyeshadow pop.

Light Base

The most effective ombre eye looks begin with a light base. Don’t forget to prep your lids with a good primer (and give it time to set), then layer a cream, white, or pastel base color over your entire lid. Opt for a matte finish rather than a shimmer, as this will have longer staying powder and the other eyeshadow shades you layer over it will grip it better.

Build Color

Once your base is done, choose a color to layer over. Build up from the outer corner of your eye, as this is where you want the color to be darkest, then sweep the powder towards the middle of your eye. Blend out with a clean brush, to create a seamless effect. If you’re going for several colors, begin with the lightest and build up to the darkest tone.

Set It

The effect of your ombre eye will be lost if the shades bleed into each other, so complete the look with a high-quality setting spray. Mist the spray about eight inches from your face, keeping your eyes closed so the product covers your eyeshadow.

Developing a regular skincare routine that works for you isn’t an easy task, but we all come to a point when it becomes clear that we need it. If you’re struggling to commit to your skincare routine and aren’t sure where to start, these useful tips will give you a push in the right direction.

Don’t Overcomplicate It

The more products you decide to include in your skincare routine, the more difficult it will be to stick to it. That’s why it’s always a good idea to stick to the basic steps, such as taking off your makeup, cleansing, and moisturizing your face on a daily basis.

Perfect Timing

If your excuse for not having a skincare routine is the lack of time, consider multitasking and doing it while you’re showering. Forgetfulness can also be the reason to skip your skincare routine, so consider setting the alarm to remind yourself to get it done.

Before & After

Having a regular skincare routine will have a positive effect on your skin and you can track your progress and stay motivated by taking before and after photos.

Designated Space

It’s easier to commit to your skincare routine when the products you need aren’t scattered around your house, so make sure to have a designated space where you keep them all together.

Lipstick can make or break your beauty look and one of the most common bugbears is lipstick which fades or slides off after an hour or so. While one issue might be the quality of the lipstick, there are some things you can do to increase the longevity of the product. Check out these tips which will see your lipstick lasting well beyond your morning coffee.

Moisturize

Before you apply the lipstick, ensure that your lips are well conditioned with a softening balm. Ideally, apply this at least an hour before you apply lipstick, and ensure that you’ve gently exfoliated any dry skin from your lips by brushing over them with a soft-bristled toothbrush.

Double Up

Apply one coat of lipstick and give it time to dry before applying another over the top, just as you would with nail polish. This helps to increase the color intensity of the lipstick as well as its longevity.

Finishing Powder

Once you’ve applied two coats of lipstick, dust a translucent setting powder over your lips to help lock down the color. If you find this a little drying, add a final layer of clear gloss or balm once the powder has had five minutes to set.

Lots of hairdressers advise their clients to book in for a trim every eight weeks, but it’s easy to let time go by without getting a hair refresh. Many people can go longer than eight weeks without needing the ends of their hair trimmed, so if you don’t want to commit to super regular haircuts, just look out for these three key signs instead. If your hair is exhibiting any of these, it may be time to book in for a hair refresh with your stylist.

Dry, Split Ends

Perhaps the most obvious sign that hair needs a trim is if the ends are looking ragged, split, and dry. Sometimes, a high-quality conditioning treatment can rescue and restore ends, but if you’ve tried this and they’re still looking worse for wear then it’s time to book in with your salon.

Lackluster Curls and Waves

Most people’s hair has at least a hint of wave to it, and many of us have really wavy, curly, or coily hair. One clear sign that a haircut needs to be on the horizon is if your curls or waves are looking a little flat and lackluster. This may mean that your hair is struggling to hold a wave, it’s getting frizzy no matter what you try, or your waves and curls are not sitting as they normally do.

It’s Always in Your Face

Sometimes, the first sign that our hair is in need of attention is our formally neat bangs flopping into our eyes every other minute. Hair growth is something that is hard to monitor on a daily basis, but if you’ve got bangs or any form of shaping around your face, you should notice when this grows out. Many stylists will trim and reshape a fringe free of charge, but if it’s been a while since you had your hair cut it may be worth sitting in the chair for a bit longer and asking them to refresh your whole ‘do.
