Race into beauty season
FROM orange spray tans to sunburnt skin and patchy foundation, the world of beauty can be tricky to navigate, especially with the Spring Racing Carnival in action, wedding season upon us and the looming Christmas party rush only y weeks away.
MEK Beauty’s Minh Eren ren and Precision Beauty’s Alanna anna Reinert have revealed their ir top tips to ensure you’re in n the know on the latest beauty technology.
Mrs Eren said on point eyebrows were the hottest beauty trend for both young and old women.
“In the ’50s, everyone used to pluck their eyebrows to almost nothing and we see so many women coming in literally begging for our help,” the Highton salon owner said.
“Having a tint and wax can make such a difference and lasts for about two weeks but now with semi-permanent tattooing in the market it can last for up to two years.”
Mrs Eren recently travelled to Los Angeles to train in the latest powder brow techniques after noticing a gap in the market in Geelong.
She said with natural ombre treatments now available, the days of horror black, blocky eyebrows were gone.
The mother of three said she was excited to share the secrets of a brow sisterhood from the other side of the beauty globe.
Ms Reinert said outside of ensuring skin was always covered with SPF sunscreen, a facial treatment was the next best thing to ensure a flawless and healthy face year round.
“With so many photographs being taken, especially this time of year, having a nice, fresh and hydrated glow is priceless,” the Leopold salon owner said.
“Combine an oxygenating peel with some microdermabrasion for the perfect pick-me-up.” FOLLOWING a one-on-one consultation, ombre power brow tattooing takes about 1½ hours and requires two salon visits. It involves the powdering of colour to provide full and flawless brows.
“Microblading is mimicking the hair strokes using a blade to cut the skin then put in the ink,” Mrs Eren said.
“Powder brows enable beauty therapists to have full control over how much ink is put into the skin and the ability to layer colours.
“Wake up in the morning and never have to worry about touching them at all.” WHETHER you need a treatment to correct acne scarring, pigmentation, on, fine lines or to boost your r glow, skin resurfacing takes sa a basic facial to the next xt level.
“A lot of people think, ‘Oh I’ve got this good make-up that will cover up’ but when you have a good base already, your make-up will complement your skin, not simply cover r it up,” Mrs Eren said.
“When you wake up and your skin’s looking ng good, you feel amazing.
“As someone who has suffered from acne, there here were days where I wouldn’t leave the house. Now I just feel a million bucks.” JUST 20 minutes in a chair can help lighten and brighten teeth between six and eight sh shades and a 40-minute tre treatment up to 12 shades. ““There is no sensitivity with peroxide-free and people are looking for that these d days, it’s really import important for people,” Ms Rei Reinert said. “It a also offers people a teeth teeth-whitening w solution that provides a more natural look which is designed to whiten and brighten the teeth by six to eight shades. “Zero pain, zero sensitivity and zero peroxide.” LUSCIOUS, semi-permanent, curled lashes open the eyes by enhancing the length and shape of your lashes.
Specially created silicone pads lift the lashes from the root only, creating a subtle, natural-looking curve in less than 45 minutes.
“Lash lifting can last anywhere between six and 12 weeks, depending on your lash cycle,” Ms Reinert.
“It involves using a silicon rod to create the curl, which is customised to the side of each client’s lashes. It really opens up the eyes and the best thing is you can still go swimming and apply mascara unlike lash extensions.” CAN this be possible? Makeup that can help you develop radiant, healthy skin?
