Buff is Beautiful: Get Sophisticated Nails in Minutes Flat!

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Style mavens know that a manicure can add the perfect finishing touch to an ensemble, whether you’re headed for a day packed full of back-to-back boardroom conferences or gearing up for a glamorous night on the town. But despite the obvious charms of colourful fingertips, sometimes bold manicures can be a time-consuming mess. And who has the time to colour-coordinate their nails to their wardrobes?

The perfect solution to this quandary just happens to be one of the hottest makeup trends for autumn: experts are predicting that buff manicures will be all the rage this fall. If you want a polished look, but you have neither the time nor the inclination to mess with boldly hued lacquers, nearly nude nails just may be the happy medium you’re looking for.

Even if you’ve never attempted a buff manicure before, take heart — the process is fairly simple and straightforward, even if you’re not exactly a whiz with nail polish. With these simple guidelines, you’ll have an elegant, stylish manicure in no time at all.

  • Buff, buff, and buff some more. In order to pull off a buff manicure, you first need to get your nails in tip-top condition. This look only works well if you’re starting with smooth, flawless nails. Begin with a coarse file to gently shape the tips of your fingernails, and then use a very fine buffer to polish and smooth the surface of your nails.
  • Shape your nail beds and cuticles. The next step on the path toward flawless nails is lavishing some attention on your nailbeds and cuticles. Gently push back the perimeter of your cuticles with a cuticle tool. Trim any loose and unsightly skin in the cuticle area, but don’t cut the entire cuticle. Alternately, you can use a liquid cuticle remover to speed up this step.
  • Massage and moisturise. Soften your nailbeds and cuticles a generous dollop of moisturizing cuticle cream or oil. Use your fingertips to gently massage the cream into your cuticles. Finally, use a buffer once again to polish your nails to a gleaming shade.
  • Colour is optional. If you’ve followed each step to the letter, your fingernails should be getting closer to the gleaming, healthy-looking ideal that defines the buff manicure. If you’d like, you can put the finishing touch on your nails with a coat of clear, opaque, or barely tinted polish. If you have problem nails, you can use a corrective clear-coat formula. If you prefer a touch of tint, use a light coat of a buff or nude shade of lacquer.

Enchanting Eyes: Gear Up for Autumn with These Hot Makeup Trends

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

Now that the world’s top fashion designers have displayed their fall lines, beauty experts are beginning to weigh in with their versions of the makeup trends that are likely to make a splash this autumn. Whether it’s retro-inspired elegance or rich, dramatic jewel tones, style mavens are translating the season’s fashion-forward designs into chic makeup looks.

Because the eyes represent such a valuable slice of cosmetic “real estate,” incorporating new colours and techniques in your choices of eyeshadow, mascara, and liner is always a great way to make sure your look is up-to-date. If you want to celebrate fall by incorporating some cutting-edge verve into your eye makeup routine, here are some expert tips to help you get started.

  • Devote a few minutes to pre-makeup prep. If you’re in a rush, you can skip this step, but beauty experts say that devoting even a few minutes to preparation can vastly improve the quality of your makeup application. Wash your eyelids with a gentle cleanser and pat dry. If you have time, relax for ten minutes with either cucumbers or cold tea bags on your eyelids to reduce the look of eye puffiness. Finally, apply a very light coat of non-greasy moisturiser on and around the eyelids.
  • Double-check your brows. Take a moment to ensure that your eyebrows are in tip-top shape. Use tweezers to remove stray hairs and maintain the shape of your arch. The look for this fall is a slightly fuller brow, but one that has a definite shape and a well-maintained profile.
  • Layer your look. When it comes to choosing eyeshadow shades this fall, opt for dark jewel tones with a metallic sheen. Glamorous gold tones are particularly hip right now. Use a darker shade on your eyelid, and add highlights with a lighter tone near the brow line. Blend gently to erase any harsh shifts in colour.
  • Plump and lengthen your lashes. Beauty experts swear by eyelash curling as a non-negotiable step in the eye makeup process. Using a high-quality device, firmly but gently squeeze the lashes several times. This will broaden and define your eyelashes in an attractively natural manner. Next, it’s time to apply mascara. Opt for short, even strokes in order to avoid clumps. This fall, choose a rich sable brown to set off the dramatic jewel-tone eyeshadows and clothes that are in style.

Get that Sexy Sun-Kissed Look in Instants with These Self-Tanner Basics

Sunday, August 24th, 2008

Whether it’s the height of summer or the middle of winter, changing your look with a little colour is always a great way to boost your self-confidence and shake up your style. Today’s bronzers and self-tanning products are scientifically advanced and easy to use, making it simple for anyone to develop a healthy “tan” in seconds flat.

Although today’s self-tanners can produce beautiful, subtle results with proper application, it takes a bit of planning and preparation to get the flawless, even bronze tone that you’re after. If you follow these steps, you’ll avoid embarrassing streaks and lines and achieve a tan so natural looking that everyone will be asking you where you went on holiday!

Exfoliate every day. Beauty experts say that the number-one culprit behind self-tanning mishaps is the accumulation of dead skin cells. Because human skin is constantly regenerating itself, we shed skin cells all the time. If you apply self-tanner on top of loose dead skin, you’ll end up with streaks, uneven colour, and less-than-perfect results. To avoid this problem, get into the habit of exfoliating your entire body every day. In the shower, rub your skin vigorously and methodically with a simple loofah brush or sponge. Just this one step can work wonders for improving the quality of your sunless tan.

Keep your skin moisturized. Another way to make sure that you achieve a smooth, flawless self-tan is to get into the habit of applying moisturiser every day. After you’ve exfoliated your skin, applying a layer of moisturizer will help you achieve an even smoother skin surface. The smoother your skin, the more likely it will be that you’ll be able to get excellent results from your sunless tanner.

Choose the right shade. Many women who want to self-tan make the mistake of selecting the darkest shade available in order to achieve dramatic results. Experts recommend being very conservative with your shade selection, choosing the range that most closely reflects your natural colouring.

Don’t get caught orange-handed. It’s hard to play off your tan as natural when your hands are bright orange! There are several ways to avoid this telltale clue. You can wear disposable latex gloves while you are applying sunless tanner, wash your hands repeatedly during the application process, or use baby wipes to remove excess lotion.

Use hydrogen peroxide to erase mistakes. No matter how many precautions you take, it’s still possible to slip up and be left with an unsightly dark spot or blotch. If you’ve got a trouble spot you’d like to remove, dip a cotton swab or ball in hydrogen peroxide and lightly dab it on the area where you made a mistake. It should lighten enough to blend in with the rest of your skin within a few minutes.

Stuck in a Summer Slump? Use These Tips for a Warm-Weather Beauty Boost!

Saturday, August 16th, 2008

Although the dog days of summer are starting to fade away, there’s still enough heat in the air to put a serious crimp in your style. Let’s face it — it’s hard to look your best when you’re dealing with droopy hair, runny makeup, and dry skin.

The good news? With just a few small changes, you can supercharge your summer beauty routine to adapt to the changing weather. Use these expert tips to keep your cool even when the temperature’s soaring.

Stay hydrated. When the weather is warm, it becomes more difficult for your body to retain moisture. This can result in a dizzying array of beauty dilemmas, ranging from frizzy hair to dry skin. You can nip most of these problems in the bud by upping your daily H20 consumption. If you’re on the go, avoid the cost and potentially dangerous chemicals of bottled water by toting your own tap water in a hip stainless steel bottle.

Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. As soon as the darling buds of spring begin to appear, it’s time to ramp up your moisturising routine so that you’ll avoid the curse of dry summer skin. When you step out of the shower or bath, lightly pat yourself dry with a towel. Then, apply a generous layer of body lotion while your skin is still slightly damp. Follow up with a facial moisturiser that’s specially formulated for your skin type. Browse our line of moisturisers and skin care products here.

Lighten up. Summer glamour is best achieved with a more casual, natural approach to makeup. Because you’re likely to be spending more time outdoors, a heavy application of makeup may leave you in a runny puddle of foundation and mascara. Beauty experts suggest a summer makeup routine that revolves around sheer, light colours applied sparingly. If you decide to stick with your normal products and palettes, apply them with a light touch. Lip gloss is a great way to achieve a light, flirty summer look – check out our line of Lip glosses here.

Go for the gold. A bronzed, sun-kissed look is always a hit during the summer months. Skip dangerous tanning booths and opt instead for self-tanner products. With proper application, today’s crèmes and powders will give you a subtle glow, rather than an unnatural orange sheen. Browse our line of self-tanners here.

Ditch your baggage. An unfortunate side effect of summer dehydration often shows up in larger-than-usual under-eye bags and dark circles. Late nights out on the town can make this problem even worse. Beauty experts say it’s easy to camouflage these common summer problems with a high-quality concealer. Opt for a shade that’s a very close match with your natural skin tone. For an even application, dab the concealer on in dots, rather than smearing it on in streaks. Take a look at our concealers here.

Fight frizz and droop. Almost every woman out there encounters hair problems that are brought on by warmer weather. If you hair has a coarse or curly texture, you’re likely to have problems with frizzy, hard-to-control hair during the summer months. If you have straight or fine hair, you’re more likely to be stuck with wilting, droopy hair when the weather is warm or humid. If frizz is your foe, use extra conditioner and anti-frizz serum. If droopy hair has got you down, switch to a lighter shampoo and conditioner formula for the summer, and try to minimize the amount of heavily-textured styling products you use in your hair. A new brush may help you wrangle your ‘do during the summer months; take a look at our hair care products here.

Summer doesn’t have to be a beauty bummer. With just a few small tweaks to your normal routine, you can fix even your most stubborn warm-weather dilemmas in no time at all.
