Innholdsfortegnelse for February - April 2020 i CosBeauty Magazine

Welcome to our first issue of the new decade! 2020 has started with many global events that have rocked the world, and not in a good way. While it may seem trivial to focus on beauty, taking the time for relaxation and self-care can make us feel better about ourselves and what is going on around us. And beauty is all about making us feel more confident and attractive, and that can’t be a bad thing. Summer is slowly drawing to a close and it’s time to ramp up our skin care and treatments to make sure summer dryness and damage doesn’t stay with us all through the year. Read our story on page 44 for the best Summer SOS products to grab now. In this issue we bring you…

Myth 1 USING HAIRSPRAY WILL SET YOUR MAKEUP This very well may work, but would you really want to spray hairspray on your face? ‘Aside from feeling sticky and tacky on your skin, lots of hairsprays are toxic and designed for hair, not skin,’ says LUMA Beauty MUA, Sarah Tammer. With the number of brilliant makeup-setting sprays on the market specifically designed for your precious skin in mind, there’s absolutely no need to use hairspray to set your makeup! Myth 2 YOUR UNDER-EYE CONCEALER SHOULD MATCH YOUR FOUNDATION According to Tammer, not necessarily. Some people need a lighter concealer to counteract dark areas and some don’t. Each face is unique and requires different products and techniques. As a general rule, your concealer should be pretty similar to your foundation shade,…

Hair loss can be particularly traumatic for women. While male hair loss is seen as inevitable for a large proportion of men, female hair loss is far less common and less culturally acceptable, which only adds to the stigma. Generally, female hair loss is quite different to male hair loss. Females experience a thinning out of mid scalp and crown hair and usually retain their frontal hairline. Due to the different hair loss pattern and reproductive concerns, treatments suitable for men are not always safe and effective for women. Improvements in hair transplant techniques allow female patients to undergo procedures to thicken thinning areas, while avoiding damage to or removal of existing hair follicles, using a dense packing procedure that also minimises scarring in both donor and recipient sites. If…

This year is set to be the biggest and best yet in the lash industry, with more and more beauty devotees placing lash and brow maintenance at the top of their glam regimes. Here, Charlotte Creasey, founder and leader of Lady Lash Australia, gives us the lowdown on the top lash trends for 2020. Innovation and customisation are where it’s at for lashes this year, with the Hybrid Lash, popularised by celebrities such as the Kardashians, fast becoming the go-to application. Also known as American Volume Lashes, this technique flawlessly combines a mixture of volume and classic lashes that frame the eye with a textured, staggered look for a more sultry yet natural-looking style. Up next is the use of brown lashes for blondes and redheads, along with shorter and…

A perfect brow is the perfect brow for your face, not someone else’s. It is natural, not overly shaped, or too dark and defined. It should not pull focus but frame the eyes and face. It should not be the main feature, but rather create balance and symmetry to the face and be the supporting act. The perfect brow should work with the client’s bone structure to create beautiful, custom brows. There is no ‘one brow suits all’. With a tailored, bespoke approach, you can’t go wrong. Achieving the perfect brow can take time if you have over tweezed or waxed or threaded or had chemo. Be patient. It is not to be rushed in one visit. I shape the brows over a three to nine-month period and for some…

We’ve all been there. Someone on the other side of the bar catches your attention, rousing butterflies somewhere in the pit of your stomach. Maybe you’ve just met. Maybe you’ve known them for years. One thing’s for sure – the man in front of you is ticking all the right boxes. But what is it that ignites this coveted, sometimes elusive spark? Unfortunately, the answer isn’t entirely straightforward. When it comes to choosing male partners female preferences are so diverse and idiosyncratic as to defy systemic explanation, says evolutionary psychologist Bruce J Ellis in The Adapted Mind: Evolutionary Psychology And The Generation Of Culture. Ellis goes on to argue female preferences can be partially discerned using the evolution-based concept of ‘mate value’, where the principles of attraction are grounded in…

As well as being an effective procedure for the treatment of hair loss in men, hair transplant surgery can also be a practical solution for most women. Modern techniques in hair transplantation are successful in treating typically diffuse female-pattern hair loss as well as the more familiar forms of male pattern hair loss. Hair transplant surgery is always more effective when there is an abundance of donor hair, which can be transplanted to the balding or thinning part of the scalp. It will be less effective in women where donor hair is limited. Modern transplantation techniques using mini-grafts, single-hair grafts and follicular unit grafts can produce natural-looking results and women should not overlook hair transplant surgery as an option just for men, or one which produces unnatural-looking results. Depending on…

Milla, as she is better known to her friends and clients, has an impressive resume, having worked with and launched collections for global heavyweights including Laura Mercier, Becca and pout. But back to brows and her parents’ bathroom … ‘I have always been…

female Women have more of a flatter, straight line or curved hairline. Females have almost no discernable brow bossing because their foreheads are more rounded with a fairly flat front. In profile, female foreheads are usually more vertical instead of backward sloping. Female eyebrows generally sit higher and are more arched or wing-shaped. The eyes in a woman appear larger. This is in part because of the shape of the bony rim above and the forehead, and partly because of the cheekbones. The combination of bone shapes create relatively larger eyes which is considered both feminine and attractive. Eyes tend to be more wide-set then men’s. Female cheeks tend to be fuller and more rounded, and cheekbones are a little higher and further forward, showing more prominence. The female nose…

Q: What do you think is the biggest mistake women make with their brows? A: Treating it like a hair removal exercise. You are not removing unwanted hair – you are shaping your brows. It is as important as having your hair cut or coloured! You also shouldn’t have your brows done on a whim, or just anywhere. You should have the same relationship with your brow stylist that you have with your hairdresser. Q: What is one thing you wish every woman did for their brows on a daily basis? A: Eat well! Food is medicine and is the best skin care out there. Applying oils to nourish and strengthen the hair and also gentle scrubbing every few days to remove dry skin and help new hair come through.…
