Your guide to make-up and cosmetics

Keep it cool!

makeupfridgeLive in the tropics where global warming has resulted in even hotter temperatures? Consider reserving a space for your pricey make-up in the fridge to save them from meltdown. Stuff like lipstick, eyeliners and other expensive makeup have some waxes and gelling agents that may melt thus lessening their usability. Organics or make-up with natural ingredients normally have no preservatives mixed in so they can indeed spoil and go rancid on you. Some oils degrade in warm weather and so on and so forth, keep them way out of reach of your toddler though, for their normally catchy colors and attractive shapes make them magnets for curious kids.
Keep them on a high shelf in a corner they can’t normally reach(not the freezer for any moisture within them will cause ice formation ruining it forever). A small office fridge or water chiller that has a cool compartment (not a freezer) is nice, kept inside the bedroom, it keeps makeup always within reach and your favorite snacks too!

Autumn Screams

After years of neutral chic, this autumn screams sophistication with a capital S, with strong shades of pink, gold, grey, black, plum and red, and sophisticated beauty mixed with a rock’n'roll feel.
Dark, captivating and mysterious, black is this season’s colour.

Smoky eyes combined with a flawless complexion and shiny lips create a sophisticated rock look.
Dramatic black is powerfully glam, and though easy to use it does precise application and some carefully chosen shades of grey to soften it. Bring out your dark side!

This year, the focus is on darker shades of red than classic lippy shades: aubergine, cherry, crimson and copper, and at the other end of the colour spectrum, candy pink is also in.

Textures are swinging between ulta matte and super shiny. The only rule is whichever you go for, don’t do it by halves! And make sure your application technique is up to scratch as these bold colours don’t leave much room for error…
