Backstage beauty for next season…

Backstage beauty for next season…

Even though us mere mortals are still living in 2012, the fashion world is already cavorting 2013′s designs down the runway!

Bold red lips, dramatic eyeliner flicks in a variety of hues and heavy brows are proving to be a hit on next season’s autumn and winter runways.

The London and New York shows have already provided us with an assortment of hot make-up trends to look forward to.

Marc Jacob, Donna Karan and Rodarte are just a few of the designers to keep an eye on.  Rodarte’s models were seen sporting over-bronzed cheeks, whilst Marc Jacob opted to don his fashion clad in grungy lined eyes.  Donna Karan chose a more subtle fashion route and models were seen sport feminine and chic, pretty manicured nails.

Backstage at the fashion shows is a great place to be, especially for the models.  They are after all the ones that get to see the new trends emerge direct from the make-up artist’s chairs!

Bright eyes were certainly a big hit this season and the majority came in a peacock shade, this vibrant colour really works to add an instant ‘wow’ factor effect to any look.

The vivid coloured palette was definitely most prominent in New York and model’s boasted big blue eyes and sleek, shiny locks.  The end result…a truly dramatic look!  Perfect for a night on the tiles or a glamorous dinner date.

The look was finished off with a twist.  Classic eyeliner has certainly taken on a new spin for 2013.  Such eyeliner will looks will add a sultry spin to any make-up style!

This season’s eyeliner looks include a double swish as appose to the standard single flick of 2012.  The best way to achieve this look is to use a very high tech eyeliner pen.

The thinner the pen, the more accurate the flick.  Opt for a quick drying eyeliner product to avoid any unwanted smudging around the eyes.

Is January the right time!?

Is January the right time!?

Here come the January blues.  The party season was great, food and drink was plentiful’ and we all indulged.

Sadly as we contemplate our navels, trying to ignore the expanding belly, baggy red eyes and sallow skin, we know its time to change.

Yet is it the right time?  The information we are about to give you may make you put that New Year diet resolution on hold.

Doctors say it isn’t the right time to diet, as losing weight in January may be harmful rather than benificial.

Morosely staring at the overflowing recycling bottle bin, you may be wondering ‘how can this be?’  Dr. Mark Wright consultant herpetologist at Southampton general hospital said ‘Detoxing for a month is futile’.  If you think you are helping that abused liver by going on a detox for a month, then think again.  People then assume they can drink as much as they want after this detox and for the rest of the year.  This action will however just put your body back into shock.

It would instead work much better if you cut out a few days drinking each week throughout the year rather than a whole month of no drinking.

Just as a drink detox can be hopeless, New Year plans to lose weight can be just as hopeless.

Statistics say that 61% of the population does not understand the correct way to diet.  41% of the population understands the correct calorie consumption, but one in eight people do not realise how to diet healthily.

Again there is no quick fix way to lose weight you need to change your lifestyle over a period of time.

Market analysts Mintel say that 7% fewer people today follow a healthy diet plan than three years ago and the sad fact of todays life is these people are more concerned about finances than staying well through a few lifestyle changes.
