A Simplistic Spin on Winged Liner

If you have hooded eyes and find it difficult to apply eyeliner that isn’t wonky, this hack is for you. Start off by drawing an outer wing, before pulling it in whilst, most importantly, looking forwards. By drawing on top of your eye, a unique shape will form. Rather than filling in the gap, leave it be for a wing that suits your eye shape perfectly. If it’s good enough for Nikki, it’s good enough for us.

Tackling the Appearance of Pores

If you find it particularly tedious to minimise the appearance of your pores when applying your base coat, why not take a leaf out of Manny’s book? First things first, prep your skin with a moisturiser of your choice. According to Manny, the essential product is Tarte’s Timeless Smoothing Primer. Apply a small amount onto your finger, then pat it into your pores. Next, take a finely milled translucent powder and gently re-coat your skin before applying a medium to full coverage foundation (Manny uses Too Faced’s Born This Way) with your fingertips. Grab a stippling brush and press the products forcefully, swiftly followed by a spritz of Milk’s Hydro Grip Setting Spray for a base that won’t budge. Finally, Manny recommends utilising a beauty blender to apply your setting powder once again, topped off with one final spritz of setting spray.

Flawless Foundation

If you feel like getting creative, what’s more adventurous than cooking your foundation? Yep, you read that right. Squirt your foundation onto a spoon and utilise the flame from a lighter to warm the bottom. When bubbles start to form, let the product cool to a suitable temperature before coating it onto your skin with a brush of your choice. This hack will ensure that your foundation blends in beautifully, minimising your pores and elevating your glam. Huda Beauty adores this hack, so much so that she’ll be using it forever.

The Perfect Concealer

If you struggle with setting your under-eyes, here’s a trick to add to your daily beauty agenda. Apply your foundation before topping it off lightly with a medium shade of concealer. Using Morphe, Shayla blends the products with a beauty sponge and lightly brushes it with Makeup Forever’s staple setting powder. When halfway through her eyeshadow, she then uses a mini beauty blender to set under her eyes with a pressed, rather than loose, powder, particularly on the side of her nose. Shayla then dusts off the remainder of the product, grabs her mini sponge and pressed powder, and draws a sloped line from her outer corners in an upwards motion. She bakes for just a minute or two then, once again, dusts off any leftover product.

Backcombed Lashes

If you want to lengthen and maximise your lashes, this mascara hack, approved by Scortezz Beauty, is ideal. To add volume and fullness from the root of the lash, use the brush to roll away from the eye whilst simultaneously pushing down on the underside of your lashes. When you roll in from the side, you may find that your lashes look wonky. To correct this, brush upwards and apply as many coats as desired. Simple and effective, this trick guarantees to hold a curl all day.

Neon

If you are not afraid of bold colours or want to try something new, this makeup trend is perfect. Perfect for summer, we put away our nude eye shadow pallets and swap them with bright neon eyeshadows. Rowi Singh is wearing a full neon look, with green and hot pink eyeshadow on her upper lid and under the eyes. If that feels overwhelming, you can add neon accents to your makeup like Megan Fox – add a touch of orange to her crease or your inner corner for a subtle look.

Graphic liner

Graphic liners are one of our favourite makeup trends. Even the winged eyeliner queen Ariana Grande is a big fan. Without any eyeshadow and hours of blending, you can create an exciting eye makeup look with just an eyeliner. It might be tricky to keep your hands steady and match the liner on both eyes, but the result is worth it!

The post Three Makeup Trends That Are Taking Over Our Feed appeared first on Voir Fashion.

As far as breakthrough trends go, no one could have expected a jar of fermented rice water to be the secret for super-strength hair. But hey, stranger things have happened this past year.

Way before the viral TikTok videos or the Kardashian blog article was released raving about the benefit, it was used centuries ago by women in Asia. Popularised in Huango, a small Chinese village, The Yao women were famous for their 6-feet long hair and only going grey when reaching the ripe old age of 80. What used to be an esoteric beauty secret has now rapidly spread across the globe but, is there scientific backing? Or is the proof solidified in the history and tradition of these ancient women?

According to expert and board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Jenny Liu and Richy Kandasmy, a successful colourist – the short answer is yes. “Scientifically, 18 amino acids have to come together to create the protein to grow hair. Rice water contains eight of these amino acids, so when rice water is used on hair, you experience more regeneration” explained Kandasmy when talking to Harpers Bazaar.

Good news for the men too, as Liu elucidates “We have limited studies, but few out of Korea demonstrate it may help with male pattern hair loss, Rice bran, in particular, has lots of fatty acids—linoleic acid and oleic acid that have been proposed to possibly inhibit the 5-α-reductase enzyme that is the cause of male pattern hair loss.” Pass it on.

How to make your DIY rice water concoction:

Step 1. Gather a bowl of organic rice – it doesn’t matter what type.

Step 2. Rinse your uncooked rice and drain. Then, add the clean rice to a bowl with 1-1.5 cups of water. Let it sit for at least an hour, up to 24 hours.

Step 3. Strain the rice and save the water. You can save the rice for cooking as well.

Step 4. Wash your hair with shampoo and rinse as you normally would.

Step 5. Take the rice water and massage it into your hair and scalp. Let it sit for at least 20 minutes to an hour.

Step 6. Rinse out and admire your now gleaming hair.

This will work on any and all hair types. So if you’re in the market for tangle-free hair with strength and length, you may want to pick up a bag of organic rice and jump on the hype.

1. Nailing It!

Everybody has found their nails looking worse for wear with the remnants of last week’s varnish scrapes left on when they’re rushing to a big event. The nightmare only worsens when you come to the realisation that you have run out of nail varnish remover. Not to fear, dot on a layer of nail varnish over the top of the nail scrapes and leave to soak for about 20 seconds. Wipe off the wet varnish with a cotton pad and you will find it brings off the under-layer along with it.

2. Lash Out!

Isn’t everyone just so sick of buying strip lashes over and over again for them to just be ruined after a few wears? Instead of throwing them in the bin, cut the strips into clusters and keep the cleaner, re-usable parts. Applying these clusters of lashes will create the perfect fluffy eyelash look or you can easily achieve the wispy cat eye look with longer clusters on the outer eyes.

3. Get The Glow

Trying to achieve that golden glowing look? Add this to the ‘Get-the-Glow’ rule book; never forget the ears. Adding a pop of highlight to your ears will help bring further structure to your face. This is mandatory for those hair-up days.

4. Powder Your Nose

OK, don’t panic with this one. Applying the correct blusher to your nose makes for a cute and rosy look. Yes, you read it correctly; blusher on the nose. Be sure to stay away from red and blue toned blushers and only use peachy ones with a light hand. I learnt this technique from Victoria’s Secret 2016 show and I promise, you’ll never look back.

5. Lush for Lashes

Vaseline is without a doubt the most notorious product in the world of make-up. Pushing your eyelashes and eyebrows upwards with some of this before bed will encourage hair growth in an upwards motion. Repeating this will help you to achieve longer lashes as well as the infamous fluffy eyebrow look in the long term.

6. Colour My Lips

Here we have another reason why Vaseline is an absolute staple product in any make-up kit. You can literally create any lipstick shade with a little eye shadow pigment mixed into it. Yes, any shade. Let your artistic mind go wild.

7. Lip Salvage

Do you find yourself spending copious amounts of your hard-earned money on expensive lipsticks for them to be gone in a few weeks? Don’t be fooled by the deceiving packaging of the product. Using a blunt knife, carefully stick it down into the bottom of the lipstick and scrape out the remnants. Pat these down into an empty jar. Normally you’ll find about 1/5 of the lipstick hiding down there. Thank me later.
