Midas Touch

Get ready for Autumn and start stocking up on gold and copper glistening makeup now. The autumn season is always the time for metallics to creep back in to fashion and this year the trend will be full throttle.
Burnt gold will gild eyelids while more sheer, brassy tones dust the cheekbones to contour and add [...]


Candy Floss

Every season there is a new spectrum of nail colours which somehow becomes instantly adorable and wonderfully fashionable. This season it has been sweet-shop hues, with mint green making a big impact.

Hair became dramatic and dynamic with buns, twists and chignons sitting [...]

Think unkempt eyebrows, thick and slightly smudged lipstick, five shades of [...]


Good or Bad?

There seems to be a new hair trend emerging. Championed by Alexa Chung, more and more people are wearing their hair with dark roots and light ends.
It is a look I sported around age 16, but that was more due to an aversion to hairdressers than being in vogue, and it has made me pretty [...]


Minted

What’s the big spring colour trend for makeup? Mint green nails! Pale spearmint shades are making their way to finger tips over the next few months with big brands like MAC Cosmetics, Barry M and Chanel all giving it a go.
