Fringes can make dry foreheads oily and oily foreheads problematic. If you have a thick fringe, I’m sure you’ll agree that maintaining clear skin on your forehead can be a challenge. The hair on your forehead coupled with hair styling products can create havoc in that area.
When you get a fringe cut, you need to [...]
Not all of us were born with sharp cheekbones like Halle Berry or Mischa Barton (pictured). And so a little bronzer can go a long way to enhancing the cheekbones we were born with.
But be warned: sculpting your cheeks with bronzer takes practice, good lighting and plenty of blending. If your application is too strong, [...]
Although we’re only half way through RAFW 2009 (Rosemount Australian Fashion Week), orange is already dominating the makeup palettes. And given it’s the summer collections that are on show, it couldn’t be a better colour choice, orange looks amazing on warmer skin tones.
When we’ve seen orange inspired makeup before, it has usually been contained to just [...]
Some makeup artists recommend spritzing your face with a mist (like the Evian facial spray pictured) to refresh your makeup during the day. But it’s definitely one of those areas where we’re divided – not all of us agree it works.

But ask any make up artist about setting powder and they’ll all tell you it’s a very essential step. Concealer, foundation and blush does not set by itself and [...]
Does liquid foundation have a use by date?
While there isn’t a use by date on most makeup products, the general rule of thumb for liquid foundations is one year. But even if the year isn’t over, if it has changed colour or scent, or the formula has separated, it needs to be tossed immediately.

Prickly heat is another not-so-hot side effect of summer. It’s a heat rash that is caused by blocked sweat glands when our bodies react to high temperatures. The name comes from the feeling associated with the rash – one of intense prickling. The rash itself appears as small clusters of red bumps.

Sure – we all get wrinkle lines on our face, but tan lines?
Tan lines on our faces caused by sunglasses are almost as common as bikini tan lines on your body. Large, Olsen twin style sunglasses are especially to blame. They cover a large percentage of our face, and can make us even lazier [...]
