Beauty: Last News

In what might be the most dramatic hair transformation of 2022, Harry Potter actress Emma Watson has decided to ditch her long hair for a short pixie crop featuring a micro fringe. It’s not yet clear if Emma has braved the chop for real or if this look is just a temporary swap from her usual style, but we do know that the pixie is for her new perfume campaign with Prada Beauty. Emma has just been unveiled as the new brand ambassador, and the image of her new look appears on Prada’s Instagram page.

As celebrities and professionals gear up for Strictly Come Dancing 2022, it seems a few of them are also keen to re-emerge with a completely different look for the new series. Pro dancer Dianne Buswell, who is returning to the BBC show for the sixth consecutive year, is known for her fiery red hair, but she’s just swapped that colour for a bright bubblegum pink.

Another day, another hair transformation for a Love Islander.This time it’s the turn of 2021 winner Millie Court, who has been wearing her blonde tresses in extra-long mermaid waves for quite some time now. In a move away from her extension-heavy look, the 25 year old has decided to cut off around 15 inches of length.

We’ve been waiting for the day when Tasha Ghouri would regain access to her social media. Why? Well, we do want to follow her life with Andrew in the real world, but mainly because we’ve been itching to know more about the makeup products she used in the Love Island villa to give her complexion such a gorgeous, bronzed appearance. The 24 year old has listened and delivered the answers to our questions in the form of a YouTube video titled “My everyday makeup!”.

Most of us will be enjoying the long, hot summer we’re having, but we can probably all agree that the heat and the sweat aren’t doing great things for our makeup. From shiny complexions to smudged mascara and eyeliner, what’s a girl to do? We know where you can start.

It’s been a summer of surprises when it comes to the weather, and there’s been a matching climate change in our makeup too. Bronzer is usually our seasonal sizzler, but this year there’s been a different hot topic: blusher. A whole #BlushTok trend of “sun-flushed” cheeks has gone viral, and suddenly this background product has taken centre stage.

It seems spots aren’t just reserved for us normal lot, A-listers are also plagued by a blemish or two every now and then – a fact Kylie Jenner is sharing with her Instagram fans.The makeup mogul took to her Kylie Skin page to share a video of her pre-shoot beauty prep, which involved reducing the size of a blemish before she had to be on camera. “Shoot day skin prep using our clarifying patches, eye cream and watermelon lip oil,” she captioned the video.

Lash lifts are a great way to boost the appearance of your natural lashes and ideal for holidays, when you may prefer to go make-up free. Few would deny the impressive longer and fuller-looking results of a lift and curl, which can last for weeks or even months. But if you’re time-poor, a lash lift can’t always be squeezed into your lunch hour as some treatments take up to 60 minutes – and that can be before you’ve thought about a tint, if your lashes aren’t naturally dark.

Supermodel Linda Evangelista has said she is “trying to love myself as I am” as she takes part in a photoshoot for British Vogue with her face held in place with tape and elastic.The star, 57, claimed in September last year that she had been left “permanently deformed” and “brutally disfigured” after a cosmetic procedure called CoolSculpting, meant to shrink fatty tissue on the body, had gone wrong. She said the treatment had resulted in paradoxical adipose hyperplasia, where the fatty tissue on her body increased in size rather than shrank. Appearing on the cover of British Vogue in a variety of outfits showing only the front of her face, she stressed that make-up artist Pat McGrath had used tape and elastics to draw back her face, jaw and neck.

She may no longer be on our TV screens every night at 9pm, but since taking the Love Island 2022 crown Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has kept us on her toes with her gorgeous beauty looks. And while fans gushed over her long and bouncy glossy tresses during her time in the villa, she’s been changing up her hairstyles of late – sporting Ariana Grande’s signature high ponytail with a half-up half-down twist for an appearance on ITV’s Lorraine earlier this week.

Lip oils have well and truly become TikTok’s latest obsession.The hashtag #lipoil currently boasts 325 million views and counting on the app, so it’s safe to say that we’re all just a little bit into a glossy lip look. The main reason the hashtag is going wild? Dior’s Lip Glow Oil, £30 here, which has reached viral success thanks to its volume-boosting formula.

If you’re tapped into treatments that celebrities love, then we bet you’ve heard of a little thing called microneedling. But other than taking a wild guess that needles are somehow involved, you may not be so sure on what exactly the treatment, well, is. Used on both the face and body, microneedling can tackle a whole range of skincare concerns from fine lines and wrinkles to visible pores and scarring.

Maybe you’ve always had a small amount of fine hair, or perhaps you’ve noticed it’s gradually got thinner over the years. Either way, if you’re searching for ways to make your hair look thicker, there are a few things you can try to boost the appearance of your strands. First thing’s first: if your hair hasn’t always been fine or thin and you are experiencing significant hair loss, your first port of call should always be your doctor or a trichologist to find out if there’s an underlying issue.

Right now we’ve no word on exactly when Bridgerton’s third season will drop on Netflix for our next instalment of Regency era beauty looks and Lady Whistledown drama. But until it does, we’re delighted that some of the key cast members have been keeping us posted on their beauty updates.

For those beauty fans that don’t have a big shopping budget to play with, Primark is something of a go-to destination, with many of its products going viral on social media as affordable alternatives for more luxurious high-end buys.Take, for example, the £3 mascara that some beauty shoppers have compared to Benefit They’re Real!, or the £5 hair oil that one fan claimed works better on her hair than Olaplex. And let’s not forget the sell-out £1 false lashes that had shoppers ditching proper lash extensions in a bid to save money.

Ahh, sand. It’s a dream on Instagram, but it can be a downright nuisance in real life.

If there’s one thing that Beauty TikTok loves, it’s affordable substitutes for high-end skincare, makeup and hair care buys.

Samantha Moitzi may not have found love with her on-screen “husband” during her time on Married At First Sight’s Australian series earlier this year, but she did recently appear to go Instagram official with a new beau, just a few short months after the hit dating show came to an end. However, that’s not the reason why she’s caught the attention of viewers on social media this month.The 27 year old has just unveiled a bold hair makeover, swapping out her recognisable blonde hair for a fiery red shade that fans are comparing to iconic cartoon character Jessica Rabbit.

Slugging is one of those beauty buzzwords that just a few short years ago would have meant nothing to most people. But, thanks to TikTok, we have seen trends like skincare slugging, hair slugging and, most recently, nail slugging all go viral. (Honestly, we’re surprised full body slugging isn’t a thing at this point.) For those who aren’t in the know, this skin-turned-hair and nail trend is all about locking moisture in.The skin edition involves applying a layer of an occlusive product, like Vaseline, to lock in moisture, while the hair version centres around leaving oil or conditioner on the hair for an extended period of time.
