Look smart now | August 2014

1. Blush on

All you need to get instantly pretty is a sheer swipe of blush. It’s easy to find the right shade if you look for one that mimics the colour of your cheeks when you are flushed or exercising. Make sure you blend well for a youthful natural look, and keep the rest of your makeup light and simple.

Beauty buffs, rejoice! With nine products to choose from, including three moisturizers (something for everybody), a universal CC cream and a sweet-smelling citrus facial cleanser, this new skincare line is poised to help perfect your complexion and keep your skin luminous.

3. Borrow from the boys

Get ready for back to school in the newest version of the classic varsity jacket. Look for a longer length and sporty touches like leather sleeves and snappy hardware.

4. Turn back the clock

Hands down, this is becoming one of our favourite skincare secret weapons. Not only does the multi-tasking cream hydrate and soothe, its unique anti-aging formula plumps, firms and brightens your hands too.
