GLOBAL BEAUTY SECRETS From WOMEN All Over the WORLD

Beauty knows no borders and wanting to look our best and championing our differences makes for a wonderful array of international style and allure.  In a celebration of this diversity, beauty products and treatments have evolved to address specific skin and hair care concerns, going beyond trends to becoming a part of the beauty identity of different parts of the world. 

 

No matter where your particular corner of the world happens to be, we can all learn from each other, sharing beauty secrets that are relevant to women everywhere.  We all want to be our best possible selves and beauty is inclusive, rather than exclusive.  Read on to find favorite products that treat local skin and hair ideals that are as universal as beauty itself:

Brazil – Brazilian women are veering away from straightening their hair, and now proudly rocking the hair nature blessed them with, celebrating their multi-ethnic and unique beauty.  They choose hair care products that are gentle, defining, and that protect their curls. 

France – French women spend more time on maintaining good skin and hair than on makeup.  Facials, products formulated for sensitive skin, and a great haircut that requires little or no upkeep, helps them achieve that most-desired laissez-faire French beauty.

Korea  – Glowing skin as a trademark of Korean beauty, so much so, that K-Beauty products are coveted all over the world.  They choose masks, gentle cleansers and hydrating moisturizers to achieve a youthful complexion.

Australia – Aussie beauties want to look sun-kissed and outdoorsy, but they are acutely aware of the effects of sun damage and use products that protect with high SPF.  They prefer a fresh, natural, healthy complexion that doesn’t require a heavy-handed makeup routine.  

India – Even skin tone, long shiny hair, and makeup products formulated to match a wide variety of complexions are the top three beauty concerns for Indian women.  They keep their hair healthy and conditioned with masks, use tone-correcting treatment products on their face, and look for makeup products that offer an array of shades to suit all skin tones.

Arabia - Price often isn’t a priority for Arabian women when it comes to skin and hair care, and maintaining a consistent beauty routine is essential.  Facials, manis and pedis, spa treatments, and high-end skincare regimes are the norm.  Luxurious products that hydrate, add a youthful glow, and refine the complexion are the key to Arabian beauty rituals.

Singapore – Brightening a dull complexion, treating pigmentation, and refining pores are the universal concerns in this multi-cultural nation with varying skin and hair types and textures.   Achieving a glowing complexion that is a result of top-notch skincare habits rather than intense humidity is key.  The emphasis is on beautiful skin and hair that looks bright, youthful, and healthy.

Broaden your own horizons and take some tips and advice from women the world over.  Beauty is diversity.

Pop Art Makeup – It’s All in the Details

Graphic makeup that defies traditional beauty rules is one of the most Instagram-worthy trends going at the moment, inspired by Warhol’s bold use of colors, Lichtenstein’s black outlined cartoons, and Nagel’s contoured, edgy women.

Think of using highly pigmented colors in atypical ways that are as far from a nude palette as it gets.  Create patterns, lines, and shapes that show your skills with brushes and liners.  Contour the cheekbones, nose, and jawline to set off the design. 

Being precise is key to succeeding with these artistic looks, and practice makes perfect.  Remember there are no rules and the more creative and skilled you are, the more impact your look will have.  Don’t forget to gram your hard work and your amazing pop art designs.  Try these looks with the products below, and create your own masterpiece

MODERN BOLD PINK MAKEUP – How to Wear the New Fantasy Makeup

Pink makeup used to be solely for blush or lips but everyone’s favorite color is having a true beauty moment, more bold than demure.  Top makeup artists are using pink hues in unexpected ways from graphic eyeliner, to highlighting, to highly pigmented shades applied with a heavy hand. 

The chief difference is that it isn’t blended into a sheer wash to enhance the complexion, but to be a stand-alone color that has a 3-D quality.  Throw out the rulebook and mix various pink tones together and play with mixing matte and more luminous finishes together. 

Apply the color boldly where it breaks traditional beauty rules, and think more “hot house flower” than “pink peony”.  This is not your mother’s pale pink makeup.  Color outside the lines and be bold.  Adding a little fantasy to your beauty look is fresh, and very now.

The Breakout Models of the Spring / Summer 2018 Fashion Weeks Season

The exhausting, exhilarating, frenetic, inspiring month of Spring / Summer 2018 fashion weeks is done.  Reviews are in and orders placed.  Editors are holding the pieces they hope to include in upcoming editorials, and designers have already begun their Fall / Winter collections. The designers and celebrities are not the only stars of the past month.  A crop of standout models, many in their first show season, has captured the eyes of fashion and beauty brands, editors and photographers.  Creating buzz on a noisy stage is difficult at best, so kudos these women who managed to enchant, intrigue, and make a memorable impression – no easy feat when nearly all the models in a particular show wear the same hair and makeup. 

Sometimes it is a fresh haircut, a quirky look, a powerful walk, or an incredible body that sets a model apart.  It is a particularly good period in the industry for models who are different, as the pendulum slowly swings away from the “clone” models of the last decade.  With the emergence of social media influencers, celebrity offspring, and street style models appearing on runways and in campaigns, the cult of personality is gradually making its way back into the fashion and beauty industries. 

We hope this means less of a “disposable” model career timeline where young teens have one amazing season and then disappear.  Let them grow up and evolve and be real contributors in a more meaningful way to brands.  We are rooting for these models and we can’t wait to see them in prestigious editorials, fronting the best magazines, and on many future runways.
