But while knee-length hair isn’t a practical, or even a desirable, look for anyone except for those on a red carpet (can you imagine trying to tackle a metre’s worth of hair on wash day?), what Demi does prove is that if maintained well, long hair can look brilliantly striking in midlife. While the bob

There was a stark difference in the way that I looked in the mirror before and after being exposed to the Baby Botox frenzy. Face-changing filters, trending on TikTok simultaneously, which show you what you will look like in 50 years, are also adding to a general fear of ageing among women my age. Negative

Hairstyling trends often dictate what length of a bob is in fashion, the right tone of blonde for the season or whether a choppy fringe is ‘in’ or firmly ‘out’.But there’s one beauty ideal – swishy, shiny hair on all lengths and all hair textures – that will never go out of fashion.It’s having somewhat

Shopping for a bronzerWhen buying a new bronzer I implore you to leave shimmery ones alone. Sparkle has its place (on the centre of eyelids, it’s great) but matte is best for the cheeks. It’s softer, less disco, and won’t settle (thus exaggerate) in pores or fine lines. Jones Road The Bronzer is one of

Just as we change our wardrobes for warmer weather, it’s helpful to swap a few seasonal beauty ingredients and routines around.

Few things are as satisfying as discovering a new scent that speaks to your soul and it seems fragrance fanatics aren’t the only ones to concur. Since the start of 2020, average daily perfume sales online have increased by 77 percent, as consumers sought to escape the constraints of multiple lockdowns and found virtual inspiration through

Summer is imminent, and there is no better time to talk about dewy blushers, which have become a category of make-up in their own right.  Part-blusher, part-highlighter, using one of these is the quickest way to make your skin look more awake and plumped up. And if anyone doesn’t know, it’s the favourite product of make-up artist Hannah Martin (the

Hairdressers, make-up artists and manicurists are physically closer to their celebrity clients than anyone else. They are, after all, the ones who listen to all their problems, massage their scalps (as well as their egos) and hold their hands (quite literally) before high-profile moments.  So given the loyal bond that grows between them after the

What people will own up to very much depends on what they feel they can get away with denying. Men are now fairly open about their hair transplants – but having mysteriously regrown a luxurious thatch, there is no way they could pretend they have achieved this by anything other than major surgical intervention.
