Brave the cold with our best winter beauty tips of the season
Stay ahead of the style pack with the hottest colours, newest trends and best winter beauty tips of the season.
Fresh Touch
If winter-induced laziness has taken hold and you no longer have the energy for regular root touch-ups, extend your hair colour with a temporary, ingenious quick fix known as the root spray.
Working in a similar fashion to dry shampoo, these sprays add pigment to the roots, covering grey hairs while temporarily extending the life of your colour. We like L’Oreal Magic ReTouch from Chemist Warehouse as it’s available in a range of shade.
Ready, set, go!
Most people set their hairstyles with hair spray, so why not apply the same principle to make-up?
Setting sprays lock in your foundation and extend the wear, which is important when you’re exposed to the winter elements. We like Rimmel Insta Flawless Fix & Go Spray from Chemist Warehouse.
Berry-licious
It seems berry tones are big every autumn/winter, but this year’s trend takes on a modern update.
From matte liquid lips to pigmented balms, the latest formulas cover every finish. Why not try L’Oreal Infallible Sexy Balm in 201 Wasted from Chemist Warehouse? It’s bursting with colour!
1-2-3 Glow Getters
Face Time
Central heating may keep you warm, but it does no favours for your skin, exposing it to harsh, dry air that can cause dehydration and dullness.
This may be prevented and reversed by using facial oils. We like Burt’s Bees Facial Oil from Chemist Warehouse.
Fake It
A new generation of hydrating fake tan products can help combat pastiness and dryness all at once.
Stay bronzed over the cooler months by maintaining a summer-like glow. Try and opt for something more subtle, so no one knows you’re faking it (plus any slip-ups are way less obvious). Try Le Tan Self-Tanning Spray Coconut Water from Chemist Warehouse.
Soft Focus
Cushion compacts are one of the biggest trends changing up the foundation game.
Essentially, it’s liquid make-up in the form of a compact cushion. It earned its name due to the compact’s accompanying sponge-like cushion, which makes it perfect for touch-ups. We like Maybelline Dream Cushion Foundation
Celebrity Fave
Dry conditions take their toll on your scalp and the overall health of hair follicles, often causing dandruff.
It’s not the most pleasant by product of winter, but recent Head & Shoulders research revealed it affects a lot more of us than we realise.
The Fight the Flake study revealed 79 per cent of Australians suffer from dandruff, with 34 per cent unaware of its cause. Despite its prevalence, the study indicates a mere 19 per cent of those affected currently use anti-dandruff products to alleviate the condition.
If dandruff is getting you down, a simple adjustment to your hair routine and the use of anti-dandruff hair products can make the world of difference. We like Head & Shoulders Dry Scalp Shampoo or Conditioner from Chemist Warehouse.
