PARTY
/ perfect Get ready to make a statement with party make-up looks this season. Think pretty pinks, shimmery golds and a slick of black eyeliner to create some va va voom.

“The only option for a safe sun-kissed tan is to fake it,” says Lillian from Harrison’s Pharmacy. Try an all-over tan or a bronzer that matches your skin tone for a healthy glow. Lancôme star bronzer $78, Harrison’s Pharmacy Level 1 p 3878 3635
1
The first step to achieving the perfect party look is a fresh, clean palette. Rochelle from Ella Baché says, “I’m a big fan of our ‘party mask’. This absorbing mask smoothes skin and gives an instant radiant glow making it ideal to use before a special event.” Ella Baché Masque Soir de Fête beautifying mask $59, Ella Baché Level 3 p 3720 0283
4
Forget the tinsel this season. Create some festive sparkle with a pink or gold-hued shimmer. Henny from The Body Shop suggests The Sparkler All over shimmer for a gorgeous glow. “Spritz liberally over the shoulders and décolletage, or dab a little onto the cheekbones to highlight,” she says. The Sparkler All over shimmer $43.95, The Body Shop Level 2 p 3378 7511

”Think sunset-inspired shades like peach and warm orange for a fresh vibrant look. These colours are definitely in demand for summer,” says Darien from Priceline. Prestige Cosmetics mono eyeshadows in Antique Gold and Love $13.50 each, Priceline Level 3 p 3878 5473
6
A smoky eye is also a hot look for the party season. Vamp it up with deep browns and midnight blacks. Stephanie from Cosmetics Plus says, “Try a pair of fake lashes for a hot party look.” Top it off with eyeliner and multiple coats of mascara.
22
BYS false lashes $8, Cosmetics Plus Level 3 p 3720 0168
2
If you plan on kicking up your heels long into the night, choose a foundation that will last the test of time. Sharon from Clinque says select a foundation like their Repairwear Laser Focus foundation. “It gives a flawless, long-wearing, airbrushed finish that hydrates and conceals imperfections.” Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus All-Smooth make-up SPF 15 $68, Clinique Level 2 p 3378 1144
7
Summer is all about dewy skin, flushed cheeks and rosy lips and YSL have just released the perfect shade of pink to complement both bronzed babes and pale beauties. Jane from YSL says, “It has a creamy melt-on-your-mouth texture with a hint of mango flavouring.” YSL lipstick $55, Myer Level 2 p 3720 4100
Dianna Agron goes from Glee girl to sultry siren with a strong, smoky eye. Estee Lauder Pure Color Palette in FilmNoir $90, Myer Level 2 p 3720 4100

HEAT
/ wave Dress your tresses with these top summer hair tips from Oscar Oscar Salon Indooroopilly style director, Mia Doak. What’s hot in hair colour this season? It's definitely all about bold hair colour and beachy-styled waves. To really make a splash, take inspiration from New York Fashion Week and combine washed-out summery hues with unexpected pops of delicate pastels, from lavender layers to powder blue pieces. Blonde is also always big in the warmer months, but last year’s defined highlights and balayage are now melting into softer, seamless contrasts of colour. This look will add texture to hair, with darker roots transitioning gradually into lighter ends. And what about style wise? Short crops, á la Emma Watson and Michelle Williams will be popular. So if you’re daring, cut your hair into a short Twiggyinspired cut and wear it swept over to look prim and proper or muscle it up with a thickening product. What if a crop is too short for comfort? Consider taking the inspiration for your new haircut from the likes of Lara Bingle with her new long bob - the 'lob'. What’s your solution to getting the most out of a look? Experiment with styling your new ‘do’ in different ways to suit the mood, whether it be sleek, beachy or in a vintage wave.
Kevin.Murphy COLOR.BUG hair colour $24.95, Sublime Hairdressing
TRY A COLOR.BUG TO ADD SEMI-PERMANENT COLOUR IN AN ALTERNATIVE HUE TO YOUR HAIR. How about going from work to play? Styling your hair in a high or low ponytail during the day can easily be transformed into a strong yet feminine chignon. Add a feather to your ponytail for a quick, yet on-trend, evening look. What is your style secret for seriously sexy tresses? There’s no denying at-home styling can be difficult, but for foolproof beach hair, use a volumising spray with ‘The Wand’ by Cloud 9. It will give you effortless waves that will leave your friends green with envy. Oscar Oscar Level 2 p 3378 5763
