Autumn Trends From Mac - Natural & Honed

One of the popular looks for this coming season is natural but honed make-up & as Mac describes for this coming season it should be 'underdone, but well done'.
To achieve this go for a natural foundation & keep it fresh & 'dewy'. Also keep the eyes bare with a neutral shadow, use Mac Paint Pots in 'Groundwork' as the base & blend well across the lid & into the socket line, then take a light shimmer 'Mac Dazzlelight' under the brow bone to achieve defintion, finish off with a sheer coat of mascara. Lightly place a sheer flush of colour over the apple of the cheeks (fleshy part of your cheek when you smile), use Mac's 'Pinch Me' Sheertone. For the lips, make sure they're well conditioned with lip balm then with your finger tips apply a light pink lipstick over the edges of the lips 'Mac Pretty Please' & then use Mac's light gloss Slimshine in 'Funshine', apply & then blot.

Hair Salons At The Ready - Victoria Beckhams New Hair Cut (The Crob)!!

Victoria Beckham obviously felt it was time to put her classic 'Pob' behind her & freshen up her style for the new autumn season, she was spotted at the Marc Jacobs show sporting a rather short cropped new style! Gone are the blonde highlights as she shows off her natural dark hair colour, over all the new style is quite a bold hair statement & in my opinion it takes a lot of confidence to pull off, which I think she does very well... The 'Pob' was one of the most requested hairstyles in salons over the last 18 Months, so I wonder if this one will be as popular, also the new cropped style will need a new name of course, the 'Crob' - doesn't really have the same ring to it does it....??!!!

Lash Power - This Season's Hottest Look!

Get yourself right on trend with some incredible lashes, it's all about lash power this coming season & the funkier the better! Of course you don't have to opt for these fabulous hot pink lashes as Princess Eugenie did this week but the more noticeable they are the more glamour you will exude! As they become more popular, false eyelash sales have soared in the last year, up by 150% with us ladies spending around £10 Million on them!!!!
Shu Uemura have just launched a new range to include larger feathered styled lashes encrusted with Swarovski crystals, perfect for that special night out! Mac also have a fantastic range as well, with many shapes & sizes to suit every type of eye.
When applying your lash strips, do eyeshadow first plus eyeliner, then take the strip & place it against your eye without glue first to see the shape on your eye (you may have to slightly cut the inner corner to fit), then gently run it through the glue so all ends are covered & then place it as close to the lash line as possible. Use tweezers to gently push it into place & let it dry off, once it is dry go over your top lash line with liner to perfect the join. After taking them off at the end of the night, use some oil based eye make-up remover to strip the glue that is left on & put them back in their case so you can enjoy them the following weekend!
