Try this Parisian blow-dry trick to get more volume in your hair

18/01/2022

While we love a curling tong and straightening iron, sometimes the best hairstyling tool of all is our dryer. Indeed, the humble hairdryer can do much more than take hair from wet to dry, as anyone partial to a professional blow-dry will know.

Don’t just take our word for it: during a blow-dry masterclass, veteran stylist…

The Debuts, Collabs, And Other Fashion Happenings We’re Looking Forward To In 2022

07/01/2022

Fashion is back! That was the collective feeling as the spring 2022 collections wrapped in early October with Nicolas Ghesquière’s masquerade ball for Louis Vuitton. In an outdoor passage of the Louvre, models swapped N95s for extravagantly bejewelled sunglasses and donned pannier dresses for a 21st century Belle Epoque. But now it’s January and the only thing that’s roaring is the Omicron variant. The status of the upcoming men’s season, scheduled to start in Florence early next week, is in question, and…

How to over-line your lips in a natural way

06/01/2022

The technique of over-lining lips is nothing new; professional make-up artists have used lip liner to enhance the shape and fullness of mouths for decades – as have the drag community. Now it’s a mainstay look of red-carpet regulars, from Kendall Jenner to Jennifer Lopez, who over-line in a realistic way. However, lip liner can easily veer into fake-looking territory.

Hands, knees, chest … and neck are all sneaky areas of the body where aging can be a dead giveaway. The delicate skin reflects the wonderful life you’ve lived, including relaxing time in the sun, the hard work you’ve accomplished with your hands, and time you’ve spent on your phone bonding with friends and family from afar (downside: tech neck). These are all things to be grateful for—you’ve earned the beauty lines (consider them memories). That said, there are at-home ways to prevent…

6 Simple Ways To Lift & Firm The Neck

23/12/2021

You only have to glance at Bridgerton’s elegant Regency ladies (or Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) to know that the neck is an unheralded erogenous zone. A surprisingly delicate area, the skin here is inclined to age faster than its facial counterpart, but is often neglected. While many of us religiously cleanse, hydrate, and treat our faces, our necks often go without. Why do we need to look after our necks? “The neck lacks sebaceous glands and tends to be less oily than the face,” explains…
