When it comes to choosing the right bronzer there are a few options you can choose from that are suitable for different skin types. Want to know whether you should use a cream or a powder? Read on!
It's been a crazy week here at the POPSUGAR office. There's been battles with the rain, Jess had an unlpleasant trip to the dentist and we've gone in to a frenzy, in anticipation of next weeks busy fashion week schedule. So, in a bid to keep up appearances (hair, nails, teeth...), we've picked some of our favourite beauty must-haves for the whole top-to-toe body therapy experience.
So you know we're going a little loco on the Australiana theme this week — but what better time to celebrate all that is great about Aussie celebs and products made Down Under than the lead-up to Australia Day? We always look forward to events like the Logies and any Australian film premiere, because we get to see stars including Jodi Gordon, Lara Bingle and Rose Byrne flexing their makeup muscles. We asked the Sugar eds to pick their all-time favourite Australian beauty moment; plus the product they'll be purchasing to get thy look at home.
Dewy skin has been popular of late, but come the hottest days of Summer, sometimes you just want to go matte — right? Matte-look skin is one-dimensional in the sense that the skin doesn't necessarily "pop", but it's a clean makeup look and one that gives that faux contoured look when applied correctly. The key is to start very slow, and build. Dip your brush on the palette, tap excess, and lightly move in a circular motion around all the highest points of your face and along the jawline. We've got five, firm favourites (go on, say that five times fast), and there's one at every price point.
We're always treated to a bevy of beauties showing their best hair and makeup angles, and this week was a shimmery, shiny version. From Jessica Biel's stunning silver smoky eye to Dianna Agron's all over shimmer, these ladies' beauty looks had us keen to try something a little fresh. We fell hard for Olivia Munn's perfect hot pink lip (we've found a shade that's even better!) and Taylor Swift's golden glow . . . And then there's Kristen Stewart with hair so good, even she's smiling! There's a whole lot more to see (and steal!) in here, so get clicking through our gallery of the Top 10 beauty looks this week.
Aside from the festive season and festival action (more on that later), we've got Summer beauty on the brain. With each new season, we try to experiment with different trends and beauty products because, well, it's very fun. We asked the Sugar editors to tell us what they'll be wearing on their pretty faces, legs, lips, in their hair and on their eyes. Ready for some inspiration?
When it comes to getting ready in the morning, deciding on your makeup look can be just as taxing as choosing an outfit. To smoky eye, or not to smoky eye? Winged eyeliner or something more subtle? But what if you only have two minutes to look like you've spent 30? We sat down with Bobbi Brown's right-hand man — international director of artistry and education, Kai Vinson — to talk all things makeup; and along the way he revealed the four products you actually need to do your makeup in a flash. Our bet is they're already sitting in your beauty cupboard...
