Welcome

Dear readers, Welcome to the real issue 183, as I accidentally called the last issue!

With the kids heading back to school at the beginning of this week, School Zones are back in force, and you need to keep to under 40klms an hour. It’s not just the fine, but kids just don’t look out for traffic and tend to dart out in front of cars without a second thought! The last thing we need is for an accident to happen! I know it is ridiculously busy in and around the schools, but we all need to have a bit of patience, so everybody gets to go home safely at the end of the day! So, take a bit more caution when driving on and off the island, there are a lot of road works and builds happening that cause distractions and interruptions that can make you lose your concentration for a split second and that is all it takes. We all want to get home to our loved ones in one piece! Speaking of loved ones, the big “V” day is just around the corner!

Valentine’s day is not just for lovers, it is for everyone to show the people they care about a little extra attention.

How many times have you heard the phrase Eyes are the window to the soul? Our eyes are the central feature of our faces, so obviously, we want to make them as noticeable and attractive as we can.

It’s no secret that the most popular makeup product in the world is mascara. But today, we’re looking at some more advanced, pro tips for drawing attention to the eyes.

Big eyes have always been considered feminine and attractive, so your makeup routine should focus on visually expanding them. Mascara is a must, but there are several tricks you can use to open up your eyes.

The most effective one of those is using white eyeliner along the lower waterlines. It’s a well-known rule in interior decoration – dark colours shrink spaces, while bright colours expand them. This principle has been used by makeup artists for decades to achieve the classic doe-eyed look. Pick a soft but waterproof eyeliner and apply it to the inner corners of your eyes. Experiment and find out whether your eyes look wider with the eyeliner applied along the entire waterline from corner to corner, or just around your inner tear ducts. For a more subtle effect, you can go for an off-white shade or beige.

Eyebrows are to the eyes what a fabulous frame is to a painting. They draw attention to them and highlight their beauty. This magical function they have has led to the eyebrow obsession of the late 2010s which only seems to be growing stronger. That’s why beauticians have developed a range of permanent makeup procedures meant to enhance the natural beauty of the eyebrows.

Having permanent makeup for eyebrows allows you to perfect their shape and fix any sparse patches without having to apply regular makeup, which will give your face symmetry and open up the eyes. Just bear in mind that going too dark or too thick may leave the eyes looking smaller than they actually are.

COLOUR-COORDINATE YOUR EYE MAKEUP TO YOUR PROTECTIVE MASK

The Covid-19 prevention measures have brought many changes into our lives, and our beauty routines were not spared. With protective facial masks being an inevitable accessory this season, we have to make the best of the situation and use them to our advantage.

Masks now come in a million different colours and patterns, so you can match them to your outfit. But why not go a step further and match them to your makeup?

With the lower half of our faces covered up most of the day, it’s all about eye makeup. So, when you’re doing your makeup in the morning, bear your mask in mind. Pick neutral tones that won’t clash with your mask no matter its colour or get creative and treat the mask as an integral part of the look. Apply eyeshadow in the same colour as your mask, or, if your mask has a print, pick one of the colours and use it in your makeup look.

LASH LIFT FOR AN INSTANT REFRESHMENT

The most popular beauty treatment of the last year is the lash lift. Women and men all over the world feel like the good old mascara just isn’t enough anymore and lash salons have been fully booked ever since.

The lash lift is completely noninvasive – all it does is make your natural lashes look longer, fuller, and curlier by applying a cocktail of 100% safe chemicals which, well, lifts the lashes. Optionally, you can also have your lashes tinted, which adds volume and works great for those of us who have thin and light eyelashes. The treatment itself takes up to an hour, and the results will last for about a month. eyes, pick a frame that works best with your face shape. The lenses should be big enough to show your eyes, but not so large that the upper edge of the frame goes over your brows.

And no, you don’t need a prescription!

On Reading glasses are definitely not only for sight correction anymore! In fact, ever since Alessandro Michele’s first collection for Gucci, reading glasses have been one of the hottest accessories on runways – and on the streets. If you want to instantly draw attention to the beauty of your

If you want to enhance your look, the quickest way to do it is to make your eyes look more attractive and noticeable. You can do this by switching up your makeup routine, grabbing a pair of trendy glasses, or treating yourself to a beauty treatment.
