Stress is a killer and can flare up at any time, even when you least expect it. There’s no denying that the last two years have been an extremely stressful time for everyone. The global pandemic has affected the lives of many. Not only are we focused on staying healthy and keeping our loved ones safe, but our lives have also drastically changed. Many people now work from home, which, while it has its perks, can mean that we don’t actually shut off our work brains.
Fortunately, many therapeutic techniques can alleviate the symptoms of stress. One such technique is called reflexology and it may be the answer you have all been looking for.
We all want to feel beautiful, whether that be every day or just for a special occasion. Often, makeup is a saving grace for us. Have an event to go to? Put on makeup. Have a slight breakout you need to cover up quickly? Just use makeup.
Despite using it regularly, many of us have never really learnt how to apply makeup the right way.
Summer is here, which probably means you’ll be spending a lot more time outdoors and out in public. Of course, you would like to look your best, but sometimes our eyebrows just won’t play along. This is why many women opt to go for professional eyebrow shaping. If you are curious about professional eyebrow shaping, but unsure as you’ve heard the phrase “microblading”, which frankly sounds more intimidating than it actually is, you’ll be happy to know that there are a variety of techniques that can be applied to tame your brows.
A new season is almost here – and with wedding season almost in full swing, young couples throughout South Africa will pave their way towards tying the knot. That means thousands of weddings are to take place over the summer months. If you are someone passionate about bridal make up, look at becoming a mobile wedding make up artist. Here’s why!
The days are getting longer, and the nights are getting shorter, which means the summer months are fast approaching. A season for action-packed water sports, adventure hiking, beaching and tanning, South African summers are not only hot but also long, running for seven months a year. But right now, you have two problems: you want to keep your hair sun-damage free, and you want some hair styling ideas to keep your body temperature cool when the heat pours down.
A perfect set of brows frames the face and brings out our best features – but our brows lose hair as we age. As women enter menopause, hormones, like estrogens, prostaglandin, and progesterone, decline and skin lose elasticity, causing brittle and sparse brows. But that doesn’t mean it is game over for women in their 40s. That means women need to learn how to create fuller, more natural brows. In July, we gave you three eyebrow shaping mistakes to avoid. This month, we’re telling you about microblading, an eyebrow shaping technique to get your brows looking like those of your teenage daughter – thick, bushy, symmetrical and healthy.
Need change? Struggling with dry autumn-damaged hair? From over relaxing, brushing, curling, straightening, and blow-drying to colouring, you’ve put your hair through the wringer over summer, and now it is frizzy and splitting. It is a known fact that the arctic air, high-speed winds, indoor heat, and static electricity damage all hair textures. So, if bone dry tresses are threatening your hairstyling game and you want to get your locks spring-ready, here are the two best ways to stop the elements from wrecking your hairstyling game.
Lost control of the tweezers again while watching that new gripping Netflix series, or are you in need of some weed brow whacking but worried you might mess them up like you do every time? Everyone knows that a well-groomed set of brows frames the face, but not everyone is born with perfect brows. Consequently, they must endlessly tweeze, pluck and shape – but when they’re too thin, too dark, or plain wrong, they do not complement. Here are three common eyebrow shaping mistakes to avoid.
2021 has not been a good year for contouring lovers. No matter where we go or who we are with, slipping on a bedazzled mask is the new normal. With no end in sight, covering our faces not only affects the way we live and do business, but the way we do our makeup is changing alongside everything else. With masks here to stay and with lipstick and blusher taking the back seat – it’s time to learn how to play up your eyes. Here are two excellent tips to level up the eyes when covered in a face mask.
Are you passionate about all things eyeliner, eye shadow, blushers and lipstick? Do you enjoy it so much that you want to make a career out of it? We can hardly blame you. If this generation has learned anything it is to invest in a career path that excites you. If you can easily hide and enhance features and love making women look like the best versions of themselves, consider becoming a wedding makeup artist.
