Editors letter
We all need to update our beauty routines and our products now and then. In the last couple of months I’ve switched
to using mineral powder makeup. I was a little apprehensive at first, as I was worried about it settling into my smile and laughter lines – okay, my wrinkles – but I absolutely love the natural colour and finish it gives me. More technically challenging has been my foray into creative brushwork and using liquid eyeliner instead of pencil. The compliments I’ve received have made the effort worthwhile, as it has opened up and defined my eyes. Significantly, it
seems that while products are becoming more and more sophisticated they are also becoming easier to apply. In this issue we review the new foundations on offer (p28) and how to choose the right shade (p37), as well as talking to some of the top makeup experts in the business about how to transform yourself from a natural beauty to a nighttime vixen (p20). On the subject of self-transformation, one of our staffers gives an account of her journey from blonde party animal to brunette… social tigress (p76). And if you are a chocoholic like me, turn to page 40 for help if you want to reform!
You can also read about how to give yourself the latest nail fashion looks – polka dots or python (p88) – and what to use to tame your do (p82). We show you the best sites for beauty online (p50) and give you our selection of products that really work (p46).
Plus we’ve rounded up some of the latest advances in skincare, treatments and therapies for you to evaluate, and put together a guide to what to buy for your age and stage in life (p108), as well as whether you should spend up large or go budget on particular items (p56).
For the professional sector, we look at outsourcing skills, polishing up your retail protocols and profile a homegrown international branding business (from p138).
Winter is a good time to step up the pampering, so run yourself a luxurious perfumed bubble bath and light the scented candles while you lap up this edition of Bella.
