Create your own costume using the makeup you probably already have in your kit and […]

It’s safe to say that face masks have fully integrated themselves into our skincare routine. Gone are the days of occasional DIY masks made of stuff from our fridge! These days, face masks make regular appearances in the form of sheets, gels and clay. We’re on a (seemingly) never-ending quest to find our favourites, and […]

We’re obsessed with eyebrows. From eyebrow extensions to celebs bleaching theirs to uncovering the best makeup techniques for your brow type, we’ve definitely succumbed to brow-mania.

While we love us a good classic cat eye, there’s just something so intriguing about graphic eyeliner that we’re determined to find ways to incorporate it into our day-to-day lives.

Lately, we’ve been inspired by summer hairstyles, from effortless beach waves to gorgeous braids for every event on your calendar. But now that we’ve got our go-to hairstyle under control, we’re faced with the question of how to wear makeup to the beach. Achieving the perfect beach look is no easy task, because a) you’re out in the sun all day, which means makeup is prone to melting and b) you’re going to the beach to relax, so naturally putting so much effort on your face seems a bit much. But before you skip makeup altogether for your summer outing, we asked the ladies of Beauty Panel for their advice and their tips on how to wear makeup to the beach without looking over-the-top. Thanks to these experts, we’ve got the solution on how to work the “no makeup” makeup look to the beach.

Summer usually calls for bold and bright nails (hello, neon!). However, on the Spring 2014 runways, neutral shades and pastels were getting just as much buzz in the nail world (like at Altuzarra and Alexander Wang). Trends aside, we all have our own preferences when it comes to manicures, whether we like to keep them neutral or loud and colourful. To help with a little beauty inspiration for this summer (because who doesn’t like more options?), this week we asked our Beauty Panel to share their favourite summer nail looks, from florals to pastels to one of Spring 2014’s hottest trends: metallics.

Ultra-fresh and luminous skin has been on our beauty trend radar for months. And, unless you are blessed by skin gods, makeup often plays a pretty significant role in achieving a sought-after healthy complexion. However, we can’t rely on makeup alone because we all know a good skin care regimen is the key to a healthy glow. While a morning facial cleanse is obviously an important part of a beauty regimen, a good nighttime skin care routine can help take the guesswork out of achieving bright skin in the a.m. Without the proper pre-slumber skin care routine, you can end up battling nightmares like breakouts, dark circles and puffy eyes—yikes!

There’s no question that mascara had a major moment on the Spring 2014 runways. From doll-like fashion à la Mulberry to a natural look at Ralph Lauren to clumpy like-effect at Preen, makeup artists freely waved the wand creating a range of different effects at a variety of shows.

As one of the fundamental tools to make eyes stand out, one may argue that mascaras are one of the easiest makeup products to use. However, with celebrities and models rocking enviable bold lashes on the red carpets and runways, mimicking the A-list look may not be as easy to achieve. So this week, we asked our Beauty Panel members to show us their fav look and share their beauty insider tips on how to get perfect lush lashes.

While warmer weather is almost always associated with changing up how you do your makeup, our hair works the same way. With the temperature finally starting to feel like we can finally kiss winter good-bye, spring makes for the ideal season to try a new hairstyle—who wants to wear a top knot in the freezing cold! Whether you’re inspired by the Spring 2014 runways or your fave A-list star, keeping the hair off the back of our necks is one thing we’re most certainly doing this season. But since we don’t have hairstylists on hand, we asked our Beauty Panel members to show us their favourite (and easy to do) spring hairstyles and how to achieve them. Those who think they aren’t talented when it comes to hair can definitely perfect these looks in a heartbeat with these tips.

Is spring finally here? While we may still be hoping for weather that lets us ditch our wintery layers, there’s nothing stopping us from getting our skin ready for the season. In practice, it may actually be smarter to get a head start on your spring skincare routine: new products always take a week or two to start working and frankly, it’s nice to wake up and start the day with light, fresh layers of skincare products and makeup. Dress for the weather you want, not the weather you have, right?

Well, this week, the Beauty Panel partnered up with Biotherm to do just that. Our beauty blogging experts spent the last month testing the Biotherm Aquasource skincare line, all in a quest to uncover the best way to get a fresh-faced look for spring. While makeup can certainly brighten any look, having a great base—your skin!—makes all the difference. It’s the reason why both fresh skin and the no-makeup makeup look made the list of our top beauty trends for Spring 2014. Makeup artists like Pat McGrath and Diane Kendal spent their time backstage prepping models’ skin with masques, serums, BB creams and moisturizers, which resulted in truly fresh-faced looks on the runway.

Ah, white eyeliner! If you came of age in the mid-’90s, white eyeliner was basically the only makeup necessary. While we may have layered it on in a thick, not-quite-cat-eye swipe with little interest in technique or precision, white eyeliner was popular because it’s really so forgiving. No matter how you use it, white liner or shadow is guaranteed to make your eyes pop. Which is precisely why it appeared on so many runways at the Spring 2014 shows. From a soft wash of all-over white at Altuzarra to graphic lines at Kate Spade to BCBG’s romantic white cat-eye, it’s clear this makeup trend is back and better than ever. And our Beauty Panel certainly agrees!
