The post Beauty fix: 5 minor makeup changes that will make a huge difference from head to toe appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Need to touch up your makeup? Don’t worry about locating a mirror, you can probably just use my forehead. While many people like to call this weather “summer” I prefer the more accurate description of “hell.” The heavy air, constant rain and brutal humidity tends to leave my skin ultra-greasy and my purse full of […]

I don’t have undereye circles, but sometimes I have puffiness that creates a shadow. What can I do about this?
Undereye puffiness and swelling is a buildup of fluid in the undereye area. This less-than-slightly scene can be caused by a number of things, including but not limited to irregular sleep patterns, allergies, high sodium consumption (this will probably make you rethink topping up your soy sauce the next time you have sushi!), and alcohol consumption. Some fine-tuning of your lifestyle can help alleviate undereye puffiness and swelling, but in the meantime, Garnier Nutritionist Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Eye Roller ($22, well.ca) can help you! This undereye roller encourages circulation to the area thanks to the cooling sensation of the metal rollerball, and the tinted gel formula dispensed with each roll contains caffeine and lemon extract, in order to brighten and stimulate the area, concealing darkness without creasing!

How can I avoid age spots on my hands?
Discolouration and age spots develop gradually over time as a direct result of sun damage. While putting SPF on your face is an easy to remember step in your daily skincare routine, we often neglect to do the same for our hands, which are exposed to the same environmental abuses. If you’re serious about protecting your hands, devise a proactive plan of attack involving sunscreen and a brightening moisturizer. Be sure to apply (and reapply!) SPF daily to hands, especially when outdoors, and enlist a vitamin C-enriched moisturizer, such as Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew Dark Spot Hand Cream ($12, well.ca), to even out skin tone and diminish any existing irregularities.

There are plenty of reasons to switch up the products in your makeup bag. From a friend’s suggestion to a sale at the drugstore, if you’re obsessed with beauty products, almost anything can inspire a change in routine. But if you’re looking to justify the purchase of a new eyeshadow, blush or moisturizer, let the change in temperatures guide you. After all, summer makeup is the stuff that beauty dreams of made of. Bronzed cheeks, dewy skin, relaxed hair and bright colours are all popular this time of year, making it an ideal time to try something new.

When it comes to playing around with beauty products, there are things that take a long time to master—like learning how to do a new hairstyle or makeup technique –and things that are easy to change in a matter of minutes. (We’re not the only ones who wait until a free Saturday afternoon to test a style, are we?) This week, Beauty Fix is taking on questions about simple fixes—such as the trick to removing waterproof mascara, why you should wear bronzer long after summer ends and how to perfect a ponytail that doesn’t scream “I’m going to the gym!”

The temperatures are kicking into high gear right about now, spelling out trouble for our beauty, skin and hair upkeep. Melting eyeliner, filmy skin, limp strands—as much as we love summer, it can definitely do a number on our looks. But with a long weekend on the horizon, the odds of hiding inside during a hot day are slim to none. Our advice: don’t fight it! Instead of sticking to your tried-and-true makeup routine (likely created during cooler times) break out new formulas and looks that work with the heat. Read on to discover a few of our favourite finds that will help you look like a beach bombshell and not a melting mess.

This week we’re talking change. Yes, we all have our tried and true favourite beauty products, but sometimes you have to switch it up. From growing older to latching on to the latest trend, Beauty Fix will guide you through the best reasons—and products!—for change. Read on with Beauty Fix! »

The post Beauty Fix: Ch-ch-ch-changes! From trends to growing older, here’s how to alter your beauty routine appeared first on FASHION Magazine.

Warm weather brings many great things with it (think: sunshine! cocktails! pedicures!) but also increases the chances of a slick hairstyle quickly turning into a frizzy mess. Humidity relaxes the hair cuticle, making it more likely to expand into Einstein-worthy proportions. No need to worry though! Just like the earlier-than-anticipated warm temperatures, we’re ahead of the game with a rundown of five of the best anti-frizz hair products. From brand new creations to old favourites, we have you (and your hair) covered.

What are the steps to create the perfect fishtail braid? We love that the trendy fishtail is slightly more simple than its traditional three-tier counterpart. Instead of separating your hair into triplets, divide it into two and keep ‘messy’ on your mind—the fishtail is meant to be slightly disheveled and imperfect. Before you start, prep […]

I love my summer glow, but how can I diminish sunspots? The sun damage may already be done, but you can lighten the area by enlisting the help of Garnier Skin Renew Dark Spot Treatment ($20, at drugstores).
