Hooray - its arrived!!! - Its NEW its FAB and now its HERE AT THE SALON. Already a favourite of celebrities and TV make-up artists, DREAMWEAVE gives dramatic length in just one stroke. Perfect on its own or combine with our LVL treatment. Dubbed the eyelash extensions in a tube, the silicone formula coats each lash with a fibrewrap, giving the wearer dramatically longer and completelly smudge free lashes. The magnet like formulation lengthens and locks on to lashes with staying power strong enough to be easily removed with any cleanser. £12.00 WHILE STOCKS LAST - SEE OUR RETAIL PAGE Ive had some requests for more beauty tips bfore the party season gets in full swing so here goes:
BODY: Lots of Xmas meals to get through and worried about piling on the lbs? Dont forget the Shrinking Violet Body Wrap to get you down a dress size. BEAUTY FOOD: Drink as much water (8 glasses if poss) which will help keep your skin hydrated and your hair silky and shiny. Or why not treat yourself to a facial in early December to start you off on the right track? EYES: Use liquid eyeliner only above top lashes - use a pencil or eyeshadow under lower lashes. Office Party coming up? I can come out and do make-up for individuals or groups - just give me a call to arrange... LASHES: Always curl your lashes twice for a more natural and rounded curl - each curl shoul take about 30 seconds. Or treat yourself to LVL Lashes (or semi-permanents) to give you a head start. BROWS: if you must tweeze your brows, do it right after a shower/bath as the heat will help to loosen the hair making it easier and less painful. Dont forget - I can give you a whole new look with HD Brows, it wont take long and will be a lot less painful. LIPS: Make your lip lines disappear by applying your lipstick vertically instead of horizontally. NAILS: Store nail polish in your fridge to keep its smooth consistency. If you are short of time with a hectic social calendar, dont forget to book in for shellac for 14 days super shiny nails or glitter acrylics for the special Xmas party look. Fix dry hands “My grandfather taught me to rub the pith of a lemon peel on them,” says Greek-born dermatologist Macrene Alexiades-Armenakas, M.D. “It will sting, but they’ll heal up immediately, like magic. It’s something I’ve been doing since I was a child.”
Juicy lips “Always wear lipstick,” says Terry de Gunzburg, French makeup artist and creator of By Terry. “French women do not wear a lot of lip gloss; they favor lipstick, often red, and never leave their apartments without it.” DIY masks “Masks are an important part of Indian culture,” says Indian beauty pro Richa Purohit. For oily skin, she mixes 1 tablespoons of sandalwood powder (at organic markets or online) with a pinch of turmeric and a few tablespoons of orange juice. Apply it to face and neck, let it dry and rinse with cool water. For normal skin, use rosewater, not juice. Sultry eyes “Afghan women have beautiful eyes. Traditionally, a kohl-rimmed eye—and nothing else—is the way they adorn themselves,” says Afghan-born Matin Maulawizada, global artistry director. Try it—it’s striking. Wear sunscreen. Internationally renowned as a beauty saviour, you heard us and you’ve probably heard the song too. Seriously though, always, always put sunscreen on your face, but don’t forget your hands and neck. They’re just as important as your face, and they show aging the fastest! Blend your own foundation Grandmothers across the globe used to mix a dab of foundation into a tin of Nivea cream to perfect their complexion, it was better than any tinted moisturizer and absolutely undetectable Fix weak nails An old trick is to add a peeled and chopped clove of garlic to your bottle of clear base coat,” suggests Tata Harper, a beauty pro from Colombia and the creator of an eponymous skin care line. This surprising bit of wisdom “will actually help to strengthen your nails Help hair grow faster “Coconut milk helps the hair grow long and thick,” says Indian ayurvedic skincare expert Pratima Raichur. (The kind from a can is fine.) “Rub it onto the scalp, leave it on for an hour or so, then wash it out.” Hi All, Skinbase emailed me this snippet which I thought I would share with you all ......
Green skintone If you’re acne-prone or have a ruddy complexion, opt for a mint green corrector to neutralize too much flush. "Green is great for covering any redness on the skin such as a blemish or rosacea," says L'Oréal makeup artist Collier Strong. Lightly dust the color over trouble spots such as the T-zone and cheeks, then apply foundation. Lilac skintone During the winter your skin loses its sun-kissed glow, and your face can appear sallow and dull. Collier suggests a lilac primer, which mutes these yellow undertones. Just like bronzer, you should apply the lavender tint to areas where the sun would normally hit your face: cheekbones, nose, and chin. Then apply tinted moisturizer or foundation normally. Pink skintone While many factors contribute to dark under-eye circles, naturally thinner skin around the eyes reveals noticeable veins we’d like to cover up. A peachy-pink corrector is perfect for brightening the eye area," says Collier. If you have more yellow or green-toned shadows, opt for a pastel pink corrector. First apply a base concealer, then dab a rosy hue directly over bags to erase bold, blue capillaries and reflect light like a highlighter would. Apricot skintone "I use apricot-correctors on medium to dark complexions to add luminosity to the skin," says Collier. "But if brown spots or freckles are your primary concern, a color corrector will not give enough coverage. I’d suggest a concealer the same color as your skin to cover these issues." Swipe the apricot primer shade along cheekbones or all over your face for a radiant base. Just to let you all know that the Sterex Electrolysis machine is back and ready for action!
