Innholdsfortegnelse for November 2020 - January 2021 i CosBeauty Magazine

As we wrap up the emotional rollercoaster that was 2020, we’re excited to ring in the New Year with hope for a fresh start. Many of us are doing it tough, so if there’s one thing we want to take with us into 2021, it’s the focus on self-care – looking after ourselves should always be a priority. Our quotes in this issue (page 14) are all about drawing on our inner strengths as well as keeping a positive attitude. Beauty rituals have been all-important during this tumultuous year, helping to boost our moods and provide a creative outlet, and we have packed the pages of this issue with the season’s must-have beauty products and wellness advice. To help get you get in the festive spirit, we’ve curated our favourite…

1. Kylie Jenner While Kylie’s lips are usually sealed when it comes to questions about cosmetic enhancement, in 2015 she famously (ahem, finally) admitted that her perked-up pout was the result of fillers – after intense media and fan speculation. 2. Cindy Crawford If we can look half as gorgeous as Cindy Crawford in our mid-50s, we’ll have what she’s having, thanks very much. ‘Past a certain age… all I can really count on is vitamin injections, Botox and collagen,’ she once shared. ‘I have a very simple, healthy life, which works miracles. I drink a lot of water, watch what I eat, and exercise… but I owe the quality of my skin to my cosmetic surgeon… Now it’s just a part of our society where so many people are…

She is also the founder of Skintillation, a new skincare range that combines the most powerful anti-ageing ingredients available in the right concentrations to help reverse ageing as well as make your skin look better upon application. CB: WHY IS HAVING A QUALITY SKINCARE REGIMEN SO IMPORTANT? SM: Great skin is the foundation upon which all other anti-ageing treatments should be administered. Despite having the tools to perform procedures with more dramatic anti-ageing effects, there is no substitute for excellent skincare. Being disciplined about daily application of skin creams with the right anti-ageing formulations can both prevent and reverse the visible signs of ageing over time. It is one of the simplest, most affordable things you can…

HOW TO DO YOUR MAKEUP WHILE WEARING A FACE MASK Health authorities recommend wearing face masks in high-risk areas such as shopping centres, public transport, bars and crowded events as we all strive to contain COVID-19 – which means we need to adapt our makeup routines. While bold lips are taking a backseat (hello, smudging and transferring), play up the drama of the eyes and keep your brow game strong. Avoid breakouts, or ‘maskne’, by keeping your mask and face clean – look for longer-lasting or waterproof products, so you don’t touch your face for makeup maintenance during the day. A setting spray will help seal in makeup and minimise it from smudging. Makeup transfer is however inevitable, so a thin disposable mask underneath your cloth one will help keep…

The desire to refresh the face through subtle rejuvenation has made nonsurgical cosmetic procedures a familiar part of today’s beauty arsenal. This reflects a preference for less-invasive procedures, with shorter downtime and a lean towards the ‘less in more’ attitude. If you’re looking to turn back the clock or enhance your natural beauty, this guide will help you navigate your way around today’s treatment options. It’s important to read widely and research thoroughly before deciding to undergo any kind of cosmetic enhancement treatment, even if it doesn’t involve surgery. Make sure it’s for the right reasons and not in the impossible pursuit of perfection. Whether it’s non-surgical skin tightening, anti-wrinkle injections or dermal fillers, the modern approach to cosmetic enhancement involves tailoring a procedure or combination of procedures to each…

cleanse. exfoliate Cleansers are an essential part of a basic skincare routine. They wash off makeup, dirt and oil, unclog pores and leave your skin feeling clean and smooth. Your skin should be cleansed twice a day – in the morning and in the evening. When it comes to cleansers, there is no ‘one type fits all’. Gel cleansers are typically recommended for oily, blemish-prone skin; cream cleansers for dry, sensitive skin; foam, charcoal or clay cleansers for oily, combination skin; and oil-based or micellar water cleansers are suitable for most skin types. To up your cleansing game, apply a toner afterwards. Today’s toners are very different to the some of the harsh ones of the past and are packed with skin-repairing ingredients such as antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, amino acids…

DAY Most of us prefer our daytime makeup to look soft and natural, incorporating universally flattering hues of peach, plum, rose and gold. Awaken and enlarge the look of your eyes with warm, neutral colours. A sweep of eyeshadow coupled with a highlighter on your brow bone will illuminate your features and project radiance. Try lining your eyes with shadow and resserve the more dramatic liquid liner for after dark. For a fresh, dewy look, try a cream blush blended lightly on the apples of your cheeks, or a stain that can dress both your lips and your cheeks. Speaking of lips, hydration is key. Look for products that will moisturise and gloss in delicate nude tones. NIGHT Transform your look from day to night with a few simple alterations.…
