While coloring hair is common throughout the United States, getting a creative hair color is less common. Creative hair colors are bold, expressive and not for those who are shy or worry about the way others will react. Fortunately, for those with a bold style flare who enjoy standing out and do not care what others think, getting the best creative hair color and design will display your daring to stand out from the crowd.</div>

<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Before starting on a design for a creative color, it is important to keep some key tips in mind. Coloring your hair is a type of commitment, particularly when you plan to use bold colors or creative hair ideas.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
• Select a base hair color before considering any type of color design. The base color is the main color throughout your hair. In general, the best base colors are natural colors like shades of blonde, brunette or red. Sticking to something that is close to your natural color is ideal because the color will suit your skin tone while also requiring less upkeep than colors that differ dramatically.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
• Match other colors to the base color. Though you might decide to use bright colors that stand out or more subdued colors that highlight the base color with something imaginative, you want a color that suits the base color. For example, if your base color is a dark brunette or black, you might use a dark purple, blue or red rather than a light shade. If the base color is lighter, such as a medium brunette or dark blonde, a subdued and lighter shade to highlight like light pink or blue will suit the color better.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
• Design the colors around the haircut. The style and cut of your hair will often dictate where you should avoid adding color. For example, a short and choppy style looks great with alternating chunks of hair in different colors while long layers suit a style like lowlights and highlights.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
• Get the style done at a salon rather than in the home. Unless you are a hairstylist or someone living with you knows enough about coloring techniques like foiling, it is better to get your hair professionally colored. The best hair color requires an expert hand, particularly if you want a complex and innovative design.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
• Determine your level of commitment to your hair before getting it colored. Creative hair designs and colors require a certain level of upkeep to maintain the stunning and artistic look. If you do not have time to re-dye your hair often or touch up the color, you should avoid a large amount of dying. Instead, keep your natural hair color as the base and use subtle colors for the design. In this way, when the hair grows out it will not look bad.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Coloring your hair in any style requires upkeep and planning. This is particularly true when you dye light colors like blonde or when you use bold colors like blue, pink, green or purple. While these tips are key points to consider, you should always discuss the best color options for your hair with a stylist before dying it. Each individual, hair cut and skin tone will look best with different color combinations, designs and looks. Enjoy the challenge of getting the best color for your skin and hair.</div>

Hello, summer! Break out the sunblock and the bikinis, say goodbye to the office, and strap on those sandals. As the days get hotter, so do we – but not in a good way. The days may be gorgeously warm and sunny, but our hair just sticks to our skin, making us sweaty and unkempt. Hot tools, like our blow dryer and flat iron, just make things worse.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Luckily, there’s an easy fix: braid it up! Getting your hair off your neck is easy with both simple and intricate braids that go with any outfit and occasion. You can execute these styles with any texture hair, straight, wavy, or curly, and they don’t require hot tools. Put a straw fedora on, or wrap a scarf around your head, or stick a flower behind your ear; your hair will look beautiful, and so will you. Without further ado, the five braids, from easiest to most difficult:</div>
<h2 style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #f7a032; font-family: 'Century Gothic', AppleGothic, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 28px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 30px; margin: 0px 0px 10px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

Some days, your bangs just won’t cooperate. Instead of continuously battling with them, get them off your face with a small French braid!<br />

Part your hair however you want to, in the middle, on one side, a very deep side part, it doesn’t matter. Then, starting at the part, take three<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>tiny</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>pieces of hair, and begin to French braid, adding more hair as you go. You can stop braiding any time. A small braid keep your bangs up, a braid that circles to the back of your head can hold your hair half up; again, it doesn’t matter. You’re done!</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
You can let your hair cascade out with a braid just at your temple, or you can pull the rest of your hair up, letting the braid add some visual interest to an updo. This braid is great for the office or the gym.</div>

This braid is extremely easy: separate your hair into two equal sections. You can do this on either side of you head, or at the back. Keeping the right section in your right hand, pick up a half-inch portion from the back of the left section. Cross it over the right section of hair and combine. Repeat using the other section of hair. Pick up a half-inch portion from the back of the right section, cross it over the left, combine. The smaller the sections, the more interesting the braid.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

This braid looks much more complicated than it is. There are two ways to accomplish this style.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
The first is to separate your hair into two equal sections, and braid each in the classic three-strand braid. You should have two braids of the same size when you are finished. Next, take one braid, loop it over the top of your head, and pin it securely. Then, take the remaining braid, loop it over the other side of your head, and pin it behind the first braid.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
The second method is more difficult, but has a slightly different look. With practice, you can achieve this braid. Again, split your hair into two sections. Make sure to tie one up so it doesn’t get in the way! Starting with the loose section, begin to French braid it, making sure to being the braid over the top of your head. When you reach the center of your forehead, take out the other section and begin to add it to the French braid. Continue braiding around your head until there is no hair left. Pin the end of the braid under the actual braid. Viola!</div>

Start over one ear, at your temple, and begin to French braid. You will have to work behind your head to loop it to the other side. Keep adding hair until the braid reaches below your other ear. Braid normally from there.</div>

This style doesn’t need much embellishment, since it says so much on its own, but you can add a sparkly doodad to jazz it up if you’re going out to dinner or on a date.</div>

Five Strand Braid</h2>

This braid is, arguably, the most complicated on the list, as it is more of a weave than a braid. But visually, it is one of the most beautiful and interesting braids out there.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Pull all your hair either behind your head (much more difficult, since you can’t see!) or to one side. Separate your hair into five<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>equal</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>sections. Keeping them straight will be hard at first, but practice makes perfect! Start on the right side: Cross the outermost strand<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>over</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>the second strand and<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>under</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>the middle strand. That outermost strand should now be the middle. Take the outermost strand on the left side,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><i>over</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>the second,<i>under</i><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>the middle. That strand will now be the middle.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Keep going over then under on the right side, then over and under on the left. It helps to say “over” and “under” out loud, to keep track of where you are. When you’re done, people will marvel over the intricacy that is your five-strand braid. Add some pretty earrings and you’re good to go anywhere!</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Make sure to keep your hair healthy and clean, and avoid hot tools as much as you can in the summer. The sun damages your hair enough. These five braids may keep you cool this season, but it may raise someone else’s temperature!</div>

Foundation shouldn’t make you look older or “made up.” Instead, this cosmetic can provide an even look to your complexion, and when applied correctly, can look incredibly natural. When done right, foundation application will look like your natural skin, only better.</div>

Which Foundation to Buy?<a name='more'></a></h3>

With so many different types of foundation available, it can be tough to know which one to buy.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Powder foundation is often a combination of foundation and powder, which makes makeup application quick and easy. It usually comes in a compact, allowing you to take it with you and touch it up throughout the day if necessary. These formulations usually provide medium to heavier coverage, although they’re a big improvement over the cake foundation that was so popular during the 1950s and 1960s.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Liquid foundation comes in varying thicknesses, from thin and almost watery to thicker formulas that are designed to conceal blemishes better. If you only need foundation to even out your skin and don’t require a lot of coverage, a thin liquid foundation is a good choice. If you prefer more coverage, opt for a thicker liquid.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Mousse foundations are lightweight and generally don’t provide too much coverage. This formula is ideal for the woman who doesn’t want to feel like she’s wearing foundation. Airbrush foundation is the lightest weight of all. If you like sheer, nearly invisible coverage, this is perfect for you.</div>

Visit your local cosmetic counters and try different shades—make sure to go outside and look at them in natural daylight, not only the store lighting. Ask your salesperson for the best formula for your skin type—dry, oily, combination and get samples to take home. There is nothing worse than the wrong shade for your skin tone!</div>

Tips on Applying Foundation</h3>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
You have several application methods for applying foundation, so the one you choose should be one you’re comfortable with, and one that works with your particular foundation formula.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
You can always use your hands to apply foundation, but make sure they’re clean before you begin; otherwise, you’ll work potentially blemish-causing bacteria into your skin. Begin with a dab on your forehead, chin and both cheeks. Blend outward and evenly, taking care around the jawline so that there’s no obvious color change between your face and your neck.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
You can also use a cosmetic sponge. Again, make sure your sponge is clean before using. Sponges can provide a more sheer look to your foundation. Either use it dry or dampen it very slightly to provide a lightweight look to your makeup.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Foundation brushes are another application method. This is a good method to use if you have more time and want to be more detailed. These brushes work best with liquid or thickly-textured foundation, although they can even out an airbrush finish as well.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #666666; font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 24px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 20px; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Of the three, many beauty bloggers and makeup artists suggest using a brush method.

When applying foundation, use brushes rather than sponges. Sponges<br />suck in a lot of product and end up wasting it because you can’t get it all<br />out onto your face. Plus they are bacteria magnets, so if you decide<br />you still want to use a sponge, they should be one use only then<br />dispose for sanitary purposes!</div>

There are a few reasons that I love this brush. You can see that it is multi-layered, the 2 different lengths of soft bristles pick up the perfect amount of foundation (so you waste less) and softly blends the product onto your skin for a soft, airbrushed look. I also love that you can use this brush with both liquid and powder foundations. You can use the same brush to apply your liquid foundation, then set with a loose powder</div>

Whichever application method you use, make sure to blend foundation thoroughly so no one sees tell-tale color changes along your hairline or jaw. See also our previous article on<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>How to Apply Foundation.</div>

We all hate the eye shadow that falls under our eyes after perfectly applying our foundation, concealer and powder. Prevent that by A. Doing your eye makeup first. Then go ahead and make your skin flawless. If it’s too late and you already applied your foundation. Place some loose powder underneath your eyes.The loose powder will “catch” any eye shadow that falls while doing your eye makeup. Once finished, simply sweep away the excess powder!</div>

When would I rock a look like this? Well, often! — specifically, whenever I’d want to look dressed up but not overdone, day or night.

The thing I like most about Michelle’s hair as she has been working with the cut for a while, trying varying shades of blonde and different fringe lengths.</div>

I particularly like the longer fringe. That’s the shot I would take to the hairdresser as inspiration. Except I have curls, and short hair can be tricky to manage with thick or curly hair.</div>

Emma Watson has the same problem with her hair so she had keratin straightening done prior to the big chop so it would stay in control. Brilliant thinking.</div>

The brush is a traditionally shaped, traditionally fibrous affair, with deep soft bristles which collect plenty of mascara from the inside of the tube.

Two coats. I particularly like the fact that the depth of the brush allows me to work the mascara well into the root, whilst avoiding depositing mascara on my eyelid. For the relatively small price of £12.50, this mascara is hard to beat - I reckon it's comparable to one of my favourites, Lancome Hypnose Drama, which is signficantly more expensive at around £20. <span style="background-color: white;">Find it at Rituals stores, or<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><a href="http://www.rituals.com/uk-en/product/perfection-850" style="background-color: white; color: #830fd6; text-decoration: none;">online</a><span style="background-color: white;">.</span></div>

How would you style your hair if you didn’t have an ear?</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin: 0px 0px 1.538em; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
This was the question posed to me by a lovely reader, Rachel, who has microtia. Microtia is a condition characterised by an incomplete or underdeveloped ear. It literally comes from the words “micro” (small) and “otia” (ear). Rachel wanted to try some new styles that didn’t show off her left ear.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin: 0px 0px 1.538em; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
The first style that came to mind are side ponytails. These are great as you can sweep your hair to one side, covering your ear. This style is perfect if you have layers, as you can leave them loose over your ear too.</div>

<a name='more'></a>What a difference an accessory makes – try adding a big flower or bow to your side ponytail. It’s a great way to dress up a simple hairstyle.</div>

Another variation is to do a low loose braid around the side. Pull out sections to really loosen it up and create this shape. Finish is a side ponytail or bun.</div>

I asked Rachel how she felt about her right ear, and she said it was normal and she didn’t mind showing it. I had an idea that creating detail on the right side would distract from her left ear. These three pretty plaits are simply pinned at the back of your head and the ends are covered with a flower. Leave your hair out on the left, leaving all the focus on the right side.</div>

Swatched, the colours are undoubtedly pretty but unfortunately way too sheer for my liking. I've swatched them dry here, and found them to be prettily sparkly but lacking in any real oomph. I've tried applying them wet to see if that gives a more intense, richly coloured finish, but I've not really noticed much of a difference from the dry application.</div>

All in all, I find myself a little disappointed in this palette. The eyeshadow is reasonably smooth and silky, which applies easily, albeit with a fair bit of glittery fallout. The colours are absolutely lovely - but just too sheer for my tastes. They definitely work for a very soft neutral day look, but I personally like a little more definition, which is difficult to achieve with a shadow so sheer.</div>

To celebrate the launch of the Organic Pharmacy in the new Selfridges Beauty Workshop, you can get a 45 minute facial tailored to your skin type for £45, which is then redeemable against Organic Pharmacy products on sale at the new counter on the day of your treatment.

The offer runs for one week only, between the 16th and 22nd of September, and you can bet it'll be a popular one. Worth popping in to book your timeslot in advance, I think..</div>

<a name='more'></a>Today is one of my favourite easy hairstyles – the giant top knot. I find I wear this hairstyle a lot lately as it’s so quick to do.<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin: 0px 0px 1.538em; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
My hair is long enough now to make a pretty good top knot on it’s own, but this giant top knot has a little secret…padding! Think of it like a Wonderbra for your hair, this donut shaped mesh padding adds a little oomph to turn your bun into a statement. If you have fine or short hair you will love this.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 19.983333587646484px; margin: 0px 0px 1.538em; orphans: 2; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Hair padding comes in lots of shapes and sizes and colours. You can buy it from beauty supply stores and most beauty retailers. This hairstyle is sometimes called the ‘sock bun’ as you can make your own padding with an old sock (<a href="http://memybestandi.blogspot.com.au/2011/06/would-ya-put-sock-in-it.html" style="color: #7d7d7d; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">like this</a>). The padding I have used is made from a soft, stretchy mesh, kind of like a shower loofah. It has enough grip to keep your hair in place, but it’s soft so won’t tear or damage your hair.</div>

This is La Prairie's latest skincare launch. It's being released to celebrate 25 years of their "caviar standard" skincare, and it apparently "alters the skin's basic structure for long-term firmness". It's also £304.</div>

Reading the press release got me wondering about my own price parameters for beauty. I certainly don't balk at spending around £30 on a good lipstick, and I suspect I'll soon start considering whether £115 is too much to spend to replace my dwindling bottle of<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille. I can't even begin to imagine spending over around £60 on skincare, though, let alone over £300 on a single serum. </div>

Australia’s first and only medically approved permanent hair reduction device for personal use at home</div>

Waxing, shaving, plucking, the lengths we go to for smooth, hair-free skin are the least inspiring parts of the modern woman’s beauty life, not to mention the most<br />painful. But rushing to remove the last leg hair before an event is not a good look for anyone.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Ladies, listen up! It is the perfect time to get permanently hair-free for striking a pose on the beach this summer. Introducing the E-One, the first and only medically approved IPL hair removal device certified for personal use at home.<br />When it comes to hair removal, there is no other device that is guaranteed to provide you with a more personal, pain free, userfriendly experience than the E-One.<br />Designed and manufactured in France, the E-One will permanently reduce hair growth and can be used in the privacy and comfort of your own home.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology, the E-One comes with everything you would expect from a professional salon treatment; ensuring results are just as effective, without the cost.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
Its sleek design makes it even more appealing. The flash lamp of the E-One is able to target a wider range of hair from blond, brown to dark colours, on a wide range of skin types from fair skin through to dark skin.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">

One of the E-One’s benefits is being able to perform permanent hair reduction in the comfort of your home, at a time that is convenient for you. The E-One gives you the privacy and peace of mind that can often be lost when having hair removal treatments in a salon.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 18px; margin: 0px; orphans: 2; padding: 0px 0px 15px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;">
No more having to make an appointment with your beautician. Both men and women no longer have to feel embarrassed going to the beautician, taking their clothes off and undergoing IPL treatments. The E-One can also be used on all areas of the body including bikini lines, face, armpits, leg, etc.<br />Yet, another benefit of the E-One is the time and money you will save. IPL and laser treatments in salons can cost up to $70 for a five minute treatment.</div>

Other methods such as waxing may seem cheaper in the short term, but if you add up the cost ofthese services over a period of years, you will soon see that the E-One is more affordable and, of course, the results are permanent.</div>
