Old school glamour
MANILA, Philippines - At the Marc by Marc Jacobs’ fall 2013 runway, 1940’s uptown girls stole the show. The look: brushed-up brows, red lips with amped-up shine, and a beautifully pale face. The fluffy curls and bold lip are in perfect tandem with the collection’s warm, nutty color palette. Up for one last winter-faced hurrah before summer officially steps in? Get the look with Shiseido Lacquer Rouge in Drama and Redken Guts 10 to add volume to your tresses.
Colored tips
And no, we’re not talking nails. At Fashion Week, ombré haired fashion girls dominated the scene –– at the top of the pack is blogger Eleonora Carisi, who freshened up last year’s major hair trend by just lightening up the tips for a delicate, almost natural-looking fadeout. L’Oreal Paris seemed to have seen this resurgence coming and came out with Wild Ombrés, the first-ever dip-dye color kit. In case you were wondering, the best way to dip-dye hair is not to actually dip hair in dye. This kit comes with just a brush that lets you comb the lightener through your hair with ease.
Reverse whitening
Want a tan? There’s a pill for that! Heliocare Bronze Capsules claims to give you a healthy-looking tan if you take one pill daily for 15 days before sun exposure. It’s a tanning accelerator and intensifier that helps speed up and prolong a sun-kissed glow while protecting the skin with Fernblock, an antioxidant that protects works against sun damage. Finally, a product for that part of the population that doesn’t want to get white. Consult your dermatologist before proceeding.
Twice the BB
