Best Beauty Buys – Cleansers, makeup removers, exfoliators

My job as Beauty Editor at StyleScoop allows me to experiment with all sorts of beauty goodies, from skincare to makeup, to finishing touches for body and hair. I’ve used a lot and bought a lot too, and this is the first of my six-week Best Beauty Buys, which will feature my top products that I have used this year. I thought I’d kick off my 2009 Best Beauty Buys with the first step in any good skin care regime – cleansers, makeup removers and exfoliators.

Beauty Scoop: Tanning tips from MODELco

In a couple of days we’ll be welcoming Spring back and I’m sure with open arms. What we may want to avoid are those “shock-horror” white bodies that have been deprived of sunlight, unless of course you were vacationing in Mauritius. Thankfully though, you don’t need the sun to get a gorgeous summer glow and today I have the inside scoop from MODELco’s Roan Pinnoy on getting the perfect tan. MODELco has a full range of tanning products; from self tanners to tan extenders and even tan removers! I was lucky enough to try some of these products myself and can honestly say that they are my absolute favourite sunless tanning products. They are easy to apply, I love the bronzed, natural colouring they produce and the shimmer, but best of all they don’t leave that horrible “self-tanner” smell. Roan sent us his top tanning tips to help you get the perfect summer tan. His favourite two products are Tan in a Can and SunSponge because “both give fantastic natural results, so there is no sign that the tan is faux”. As for me, my personal favourite is the Body Meringue Glow Mousse. Unlike other self tanners, this one is…

Star Beauty: Dewy Skin

Dewy skin is all about gorgeous, glowing skin that is flawless and natural. It is great for daytime and is perfect for a fresh, fuss free look. You can achieve the Dewy look by combining good skin care (your number one beauty secret) with a handful of useful products. Remember, when going for the dewy look to keep you makeup minimal – use foundation or tinted moisturiser to even out your skin tone, add a bit of blush, a natural gloss and a slick of brown (or black mascara) to finish it off. Here are some of my fresh-faced favourites: 1. The new range of Colour Riche celeb-signature lipsticks from Loreal Paris are Divine. Look out for Eva Longoria’s Star Secret colour in Caramel. It enhances your natural colour, looks beautiful and has the most delicious smell. 2. For natural lip colour that is simple yet effective, check out Giffarine Glamorous Lip Colour in LG08. 3. For a perfect, dewy look, use foundation that blends in with you natural skin tone. Check out Revlon Beyond Natural Skin Matching Makeup. It starts out white and blends to your skin’s own colour – Genius! 4. Minimise pores and get porcelain skin with…

Star Beauty – Brow-Vo

Taking care of your eye brows is very important. Not only because they are focal features on your face, but they really do make a difference to how you look. If your eyebrows are faded, they can make your forehead appear bigger, and your eyes out of proportion. However, shaped brows give you more contours and enhance your eyes. Untidy or very bushy brows are also a huge no-no, keep them neat and tidy. If you can’t do it yourself, go for a professional brow shape and see the difference. For some advice on how to shape them properly, check out this page on StyleScoop. Here are some great products I found that deserve a standing ovation for eyebrow grooming, shaping and enhancing. 1. Brow Zings from Benefit is a complete brow kit containing everything you need to perfect those brows. Included in the kit: pigmented wax, natural-shaded powder, tweezers, hand angle brush, blending brush and mirror. 2. Clinique Brow Shaper contains a fine pressed powder and application brush to fill in and perfect your brows. 3. High Brow from Benefit is the ultimate brow lifting pencil. The linen-pink shade allows you to create a highlight on your brow bone,…
