Welcome to our 92nd issue of CosBeauty magazine! This edition is packed full of eye-catching features spotlighting the latest products and trends in the ever-changing beauty world. We are living in exciting times, with the industry on a trajectory for a seismic shift in how we consume makeup and skincare. In our feature article on page 88 we look at how augmented reality is already shaking up our buying habits and how technology is rapidly changing the future of skincare and how it’s prescribed. 

And while we’re speculating about the future, on page 80 you’ll find the 2021 makeup forecast, which is full of inspirational new looks and twists on classics direct from the world’s most influential runways. 

We’ve also been busy testing *all* the face serums. On page 68 you’ll find our pick of the best treatment serums for specific skin concerns, including aged/environmentally damaged skin, pigmentation and blemish-prone skin.  

In many ways, 2021 is the year of personalisation. We are no longer content to accept a one-size-fits-all approach to beauty – and this includes embracing our natural hair! Turn to page 104 to get some expert tips on how to care for your hair type  – whether straight, wavy, curly or coily. 

In our special cosmetic enhancement section starting on page 48, we take a deep dive into the Mummy Makeover, plus the latest non-surgical body contouring technologies to help you look and feel your most confident. We also chat with specialist plastic surgeon Dr Lisa Friederich on how she’s bridging the gender gap in a male-dominated industry and why mummy makeovers are some of her most life-transforming procedures. 

We hope you get as much enjoyment and insight out of this issue as we have putting it together for you! And don’t forget that you can read more great articles on beauty and wellbeing at www.cosbeauty.com.au, as well as unbiased information on cosmetic enhancement at www.aestheticadvisor.com.au.
