makes a wonderfully simple facial scrub. Grind one tablespoon of rice in a clean coffee grinder, add water to make a paste and voila! You can also add jojoba oil and five drops of carrot seed essential oil if you have dry skin. And don’t forget to exfoliate your lips! Trust me, your skin will thank you for this — and any makeup you apply over your smoother skin will look amazing.

This is the time of year when I also recommend you take a good hard look at your go-to makeup products. I’ll bet there are a few you just buy out of habit, not thinking about whether they are actually doing the job. This is a good time to replace them with something that really works for you. Don’t forget about your mascara — even if you love the one you own, if you can’t remember when you bought it, it’s probably past it’s due date, so replace it for the health of your eyes. If you haven’t updated your foundation in a while, you will be amazed if you switch to a lightweight beauty balm or my favourite, Make Up For Ever HD foundation. It provides light to medium coverage and blends well on skin of all ages. Apply with your fingers or a sponge or get a more airbrushed look by using a great foundation brush like the MAC dual fibre #159. Finish off the look with an Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder. It comes in six shades and blends effortlessly to create a beautifully soft finish. When it comes to colour, I like to go with a neutral makeup palette at the beginning of each year. Colour is essential for your lips and cheeks during the winter months when most of us feel our skin is a little pale and dull from spending more time indoors. Stick with muted tones like browns and nudes with a hint of pink or mauve. Choose products that offer staying power and a flawless finish at a time of year when our skin is at its driest. Stila Convertible Colour is a fabulous cream blush that looks so good when applied with a regular blush brush. Try a pinky brown like Peony to create a healthy luminescent glow. You can also use it as a light stain on your lips. For more colour and some shine, try Stila’s Stay All Day Vinyl Lip Gloss. You only need a little and it wears beautifully — no stickiness or gloss line around your lips. Try Nude Vinyl for an understated look that suits everyone.
Simple and Stylish To enjoy your beauty reboot to the fullest, keep it simple and have fun! With these tips, you’ll greet the new year with a fresh face, ready to take on those resolutions. ::
