We’ll point the finger at the friend who encouraged a third glass of wine with dinner, or the bartender who was too generous with his vodka-to-soda ratio. Whatever (whoever?) the reason may be for getting a little too cocktail-happy during a night on the town, we’ve accepted that it just happens sometimes. Bring on the unattractive […]

While a scorching Canadian summer may seem eons away right now, the reality is that the current pleasant temperatures we’ve been experiencing won’t be around for long. Before we know it, we’ll be store-hopping for quick air conditioning breaks, loading up on extra-strength deodorant, and walking outside only to be immediately met with an thick […]

I have a love-hate relationship with Snapchat. I struggle to navigate the interface (much like my mother battles with copy and paste). There is one selfie filter, however, that fascinates me: It enlarges my eyes, slims my face and makes my skin creamier. It brightens my cheeks, fades the laugh lines around my eyes and […]

Blame it on your time-saving needs of squeezing in a workout on your lunch break, or your incurable addiction to hitting the snooze button. But whatever the reason, sometimes having a shower just doesn’t fit into our schedules. We mean, it’s not that we’re totally okay with being gross (or maybe we are). It’s just […]

I find it a bit tricky to get to my corner lashes when applying mascara. How can I reach every single lash?
I’ve certainly jabbed the inner corners of my eyes a handful of times when trying to get mascara on my corner lashes, leaving a mess of mascara smudges behind. (It’s even worse when it ruins a carefully applied eye makeup look.) Mascara junkies rejoice, because Avon Mega Effects Mascara ($12, avon.ca) has a very different brush that is the solution to your corner-lash woes. The adjustable ergonomic wand allows you to line up the brush with your lashes from the front, instead of from the side, so you can apply mascara to each and every lash. If you still feel you can’t get to the corner lashes, turn the brush so that it’s perpendicular to your lash line to brush on the mascara with the end of the wand.

How do I make sure I’ve properly removed sunscreen after a day at the beach?
It’s normal to be concerned about removing sunscreen, because any leftover residue can cause breakouts or clog pores. Whether it’s a manual face cleansing brush or an electronic gadget that you reach for, facial cleansing brushes are excellent for really giving your face a good scrub. If you haven’t yet drank the Clarisonic kool-aid, this summer may be an excellent time to go for it. The Mia2 Skin Cleansing System ($175, sephora.ca) may seem a bit fussy because it takes an extra minute to use (literally), but the results are well worth it. The sonic frequency of the oscillating brush head in conjunction with your favourite mild liquid facial cleanser is highly effective in deep-cleaning your pores and leaving your face exfoliated—and free of any sunscreen residue. This encourages cell turnover and allows whatever skincare serums you apply afterward to sink in that much deeper. It’s also able to remove six times more makeup than manual cleansing, which means it’s a makeup lover’s best friend at the end of the day.

Every week we take on your questions about makeup, skincare, hair and more and provide all the answers. This week we’re taking on questions about concealer, at-home facials and overnight skin treatments. While these may seem like very different concerns, the goal is all the same: How can you brighten your complexion? From multi-colour concealer palettes to a skincare regimen that will boost and brighten, read on for the full fix. Have a question we haven’t answered? Email us at beautyfix@fashionmagazine.com.
