Nail art may be a bit much for day-to-day (unless you’re into minimalism!), but it’s still a total go-to during the holidays – Valentine’s Day included. It’s both a subtle and fun way to celebrate the lovey-dovey holiday, so we’re not the least bit surprised. But by now, we’re pretty sure you’ve looked through every […]

For beauty geeks, the struggle is real when it comes to shopping for beauty products with a heavier price tag. On one hand, you want to treat yourself, while on the other, with a one year (or less) expiration date on many of the products, sometimes you just don’t think it’s worth breaking the piggy […]

The nail art trend may have subdued to neutral manicures on the runway in recent seasons, but if social media is any proof, this beauty pastime is far from leaving us any time soon. Negative space nail art has been generating some talk for some time now. Judging from the cool manis we’ve seen around […]

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 […]

Subtlety often takes centre stage in the beauty world. From a slight flick of eyeliner to a barely-there lip stain, and of course the ever-popular no-makeup look, it seems that less is usually more. However, sometimes we can’t help but apply an extra coat (or three) of mascara or a swipe of deep berry lipstick […]

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.

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.

With each season, new colour palettes and make up application styles emerge as latest and greatest trends. Whether it’s a dramatic smokey eye or a hint of lip, applying some makeup element is a common part of most daily routines.

Reasons for using makeup are as varied as the number of lipstick shades. Makeup can be used to enhance facial contours, cover blemishes, or intensify eye colour. For many, makeup is more than just another step in their personal care regimen, it’s a way to creatively expression themselves.

So, we put it to the Beauty Panel, “why wear makeup?” Maggie Ng told us that makeup is about having fun, while Shayna Wiwierski shared how makeup helped her heal. Read on for the many reasons behind primping.
