A braid made across the hair line is pinned back and the rest of the hair is swept up into an elegant bun a little low on the nape, perfect for the formal party. The second hairstyle is a little more casual and can be worn in both formal and informal settings.

Colour me younger

Colour Me Younger

Are you in need of a colour consultant? Have you ever had one of those moments where someone has thought you were older than you really are? At a 40th birthday party recently a woman asked my friend, “So when did you have your 40th?” At 36 my friend wasn’t exactly thrilled at the question! Another friend of mine was on an evening out with someone 6 years her junior when a man she vaguely recognised came over and shrieked, “Don’t tell me, this must be your daughter!”

Tactless strangers are one thing but sometimes we do need to take a fresh look at ourselves and see if we can do something to turn back the clock a few years. Sometimes the colours we are wearing don’t work with our natural colouring and if this is the case they can put in shadows across our faces and under our chins making us look older than we really are. The wrong shades of make-up can also work against us.

Sometimes the colours we wear aren’t too bad for our own colouring but we have put them together in a dated way which can also be aging. A more current combination would make us look more youthful. For example, turquoise worn with navy often gives an old-fashioned air stewardess kind of feel but turquoise worn with chocolate brown gives a much more contemporary feel. Navy can be worn with light grey this season for a current look.

If you struggle to know which colours suit you best, why not book a session with a colour consultant. A colour consultant will be able to show you which colours flatter your own colouring, making you look younger, and how to wear your colours. Colour consultations make great Christmas presents for women but if you can’t wait until then, here are a few tips to get you started.

Lights

The lights are the natural blondes. These women look great in pastels and light, bright colours. Most deep colours over-power them and put in aging shadows especially if worn together so any dark colours should be teamed with lighter ones.

Good colours: sky blue, dove grey, light red, periwinkle, light pinks, mint green, turquoise.

Colours to avoid: burgundy, bottle green, fuchsia, deep mustard, black.

Deeps

The deeps have very dark hair and dark brown eyes. Pastel shades can make them look older, drained and tired. Deep, bold shades will be much more flattering, balancing their look and keeping them young. Any light shades should be worn with deeper ones.

Good colours: black, red, aubergine, dark brown, royal blue, pine green, deep purple.

Colours to avoid: light blue, baby pink, icy violet, light grey.

Warms

The warms are the red-heads. They have a golden or fair freckly skin-tone. The warms need to choose colours with warm (yellowy) undertones. Cool, bluey undertones will wash them out and add on the years!

Good colours: camel, mustard, lime, orange, rust, chocolate, olive and coral.

Colours to avoid: cool pinks will clash dreadfully with the warms colouring and need to be avoided at all costs! Icy blues, violets and greys should also be avoided.

Cools

The cools have silver, white or ash-blonde hair and pink skin-tones. Warm colours can make them look older and unhealthy and they should stick to colours with a cool (bluey) undertone to look younger and more vibrant.

Good colours: grey, navy, shocking pink, purples, cool reds, blues.

Colours to avoid: yellows, browns, orange, lime and camel.

Clears

Clears have bright colouring – deep hair, lighter skin and clear or bright eyes. They will look older and more drab in soft, muted tones. They need to choose bright, jewel-like colours to enhance their colouring and keep their look young.

Good colours: ruby red, sapphire blue, emerald blue, bright teal, combinations of black and white.

Colours to avoid: camel, soft browns, muted jade, mustard, rust.

Softs

The softs have dark blonde to medium brown hair colouring and little contrast between hair, skin and eyes. Their worst combination is black and white as this is a harsh contrast and doesn’t complement their own soft colouring. Deep bold shades will also over-power them and make them look older. Soft-muted shades work best along with some medium depth brights.

Good colours: Soft teals and purples, charcoal, air-force blue, beige, jade and turquoise.

Colours to avoid: royal blue, black, bright orange, canary yellow, emerald green.

A colour consultant can also advise you on your best shades of make-up, on hairstyles and clothing styles to make sure there is nothing spoiling the new, younger you!

How to apply and how to remove false eyelashes

Next step would be to decide what kind of lashes would you like to go for. There are endless options, so you just have to find the one that matches your outfit, the occasion you are attending and your personality. There are individual lashes to assure a natural look, full lashes that add density to your lash line and the more extreme lashes, that are bold colored, extra long, accessorized with feathers or crystals.

To apply them well, you will need a bit of practice, but it’s more or less sure you will manage at one point. For start, opt for the full lashes, which are easier to apply. You will need a precise and steady hand to manage with the individual ones.

Adjust the lashes to the length of your eyes, by cutting of as much as you need.

Mark your eyes with a pencil and smudge it to make sure it’s not applied to thick.

Use a tweezers to pick up the lashes and apply a thin layer of glue on them.

Wait a couple of minutes to leave the glue enough time to get sticky.

Apply them above your real lashes slowly, starting from the outer corners of your eyes. Position them as close as possible to your real lashes, by pressing them gently until they are set. Same way with the individual lashes to.

To mix the real lashes with your fake ones, curl them with an eyelash curler and apply mascara. To hide the line of the fake lashes, you can apply a new layer of eyeliner or eye shadow.

False lashes make the eyes really desirable, more feminine, and add a sophisticated touch to the entire appearance. Practice how to apply them well, choose fantasy lashes and create unique looks. There are no borderlines anymore, you can leave your imagination free and make the most special looks ever.

High heels a major cause of corns

High Heels a Major Cause of Corns

How corns form

Have you ever wondered why your feet hurt after wearing high heels for extensive periods of time? In case you haven’t figured it out by now, there is a valid reason why people say that high heels are not good for your feet. For one, high heels can create corns on your precious toes. Imagine rocking a beautiful pair of shoes only to reveal not so beautiful feet underneath. Constant rubbing or friction causes corns. High heels cause your feet to slide up and down and pound against the front of the shoe. This causes dry skin or calluses to build up on certain areas of your foot, especially on and between your toes. The calluses, if not treated, eventually turn into corns. The corns will look like yellowish-gray dried bulbs of skin on your toes and on the pads of your feet. Fortunately, there are ways to treat and help reduce that umm…thingy on your foot.

Rethink those high heels

You are not going to like the sound of this, but you cannot buy every shoe you lay your eyes on. Believe me, your feet will thank you in the future. Opt for heels that are 3 inches or less to reduce tension in your feet. Also, choose heels that feel comfortable and that are not too tight. Convincing yourself that you can break the shoe in is bologna. If the shoes do not feel comfortable as soon as you try them on, leave them alone. Listen to your feet! You may not want to spend more money on comfortable shoes, but you can always find a sale. Alternating high heels with sneakers, flats, or shoes with a smaller heel (say 1-2 inches) will do wonders in preventing corns and keeping our feet beautiful. If you like to wear heels at work, wear sneakers to and from the workplace. Walking outside, especially on concrete, is a huge no no. Purchasing insoles also help to absorb shock and reduce friction. We are on our feet all day long and it is just not fair to have your feet in heels pounding on the pavement. And why is it that we continue to stand even when we don’t have to? Try to sit down as much as possible in between standing sessions to give your puppies a break.

How to get rid of corns

This advice is valuable, but what if you already have corns? How can you get rid of them? The first thing you need to do is give yourself a corn pedicure. Fill a basin with warm water and soak your feet for 15 minutes. Dry your feet with a towel and file those corns away with a pumice stone or callous trimmer. A pumice stone with a handle will give you more control. This is the best way to obtain smooth feet. Home remedies include applying natural apple cider vinegar or chamomile tea to your corn with a cotton ball and covering it with duct tape or a Band-Aid overnight. You can also try applying lemon oil or papaya juice 2-3 times daily to your corn. Your final option is to see a podiatrist. A podiatrist will freeze the corn off, shave it away or remove it with acid. Am I telling you to give up your beloved heels? Not necessarily. But you will have to take the proper measures to prevent corns in the future. After all, beautiful shoes come and go but beautiful feet are priceless.
