This week is Beauty Week! Who for? You! There’s a lot you can do to boost your inner and outer beauty and feel great. In fact, you can fill a week with it! So here’s a little insight and inspiration for making every week your very own Beauty Week!
Manicure Monday
There’s something about starting the week with a fresh paint job that just makes you feel extra motivated (and we’re not talking about the paint on your walls!). Clacking away at a keyboard or drumming your fingers on your desk during meetings with a nice bold colour on your nails just makes Monday that much more productive. It’s the little things that make for #MondayMotivation, right?
Lucky for you, we’ve got some trend approved manicure tutorials for your mani-inspiration. Check out our fresh take on polka dot nails – perfect for an autumn/winter colourway with beautiful chocolatey brown dots (with our Gloss N’ Wear Nail Lacquer in Smokey Taupe Cream). Or pick from the loads of other colours in the Gloss N' Wear Nail Lacquer’s range if you want something that really pops. But no matter which colour suits, always remember your base coat (Pro Wear Priming Base Coat) and top coat (Pro Wear Quick Dry & Plumping Top Coat) – super important for (and very easy to forget!)
Toned-Down Tuesday
Take your Tuesday to a new level by paying closer attention to the details only you notice. Start your beauty routine today with Hydra Radiance Day Cream Light, a hydrating day cream full of Vitamin C that will help to transform your skin from within. It not only helps to protect your skin from environmental stressors like pollution, but will work to balance shine and hydrate your skin all day long. On top of that, add a solid base with SPF protection like Giordani Gold’s Cream Caress SPF 30 + UVA Protection CC cream for a beautiful evened out tone that also fights to keep your skin safe against harmful rays. Toned down? Yes. Boring? Absolutely not!
Add a little pop of colour to your beauty-from-within look with THE ONE A-Z Lip Balm SPF 25 in soft fig (yes your lips need sun protection too!) and a sweep of Giordani Gold Bronzing Pearls. Knowing you’ve put your skin first will give you a confidence boost that lasts all day long.
Bold Wednesday
Sometimes when mid-week comes along, you need a bit of a pick-me-up - and we’re here for you with a makeup look that will pack a punch! We’re talking seriously pigmented jet black eyeliner (THE ONE Eyeliner Stylo Jumbo) and fierce mascara (literally - THE ONE Tremendous Fierce Mascara) that will help make your eyes look bigger and brighter (insert mid-week yawn here).
Pair with a bold matte lip colour like THE ONE Colour Unlimited Ultra Fix Lipstick in Ultra Taupe (one of our bestsellers because it doesn’t smudge!) to draw attention to your pout and go for a bright eyeshadow like our refillable cult-favourite, The One Make-up Pro Wet & Dry Eye Shadow in a nice shimmery finish. It even lasts up to 15 hours when used with The ONE Eye Shadow Primer. Want even more colour intensity? Use wet!
Glowing Thursday
Ready to get back your glow? Prime your skin for glam times ahead (aka the weekend!) with Optimals Hydra Radiance Serum, providing clinically proven 24-hour skin hydration and leaving skin looking healthy with a satin-like, smooth texture (yes please!). Next, use our glow enhancing primer, THE ONE Make-up Pro Primer Glow Enhancer, designed to extend the wear of your foundation by smoothing your skin and giving it an illuminated finish.
Did you think glow only referred to your skin? No way! Our THE ONE Lasting Shine Lip Gloss is designed to sparkle all day long with the look of a thick gloss but with the feel of a silky smooth application. Finish up your look with a cheek highlighter using our Giordani Gold Illuminating Pearls in subtle rose - an all-over illuminating shade for radiant days ahead.
Flirty Friday
FRI-YAY! No matter what your weekend plans, we’ve got the makeup look for you! This one works whether you’re chilling at home getting some support from friends or out on the town. It’s alluring and simple yet covers all the basics – perfect for a flirty date night or all-girls sleepover. Start with a lightweight foundation like Giordani Gold’s new Pure Úforia, and add a pop of colour to your cheeks with THE ONE Powder Blush (forget contouring or highlighting today and just keep it simple!)
Stick to a nice lengthening mascara – we suggest OnColour Length Up Mascara, designed to enhance lash separation and infused with protective antioxidant Vitamin E and moisturising Pro-Vitamin B5. Next add a glossy shine to your lips with our brand new THE ONE Irresistible Touch High Shine Lipstick, a long-lasting high gloss finish liquid lip colour available in 10 colourways! Finish it off with a spritz of Lost In You For Her, one of our most romantic fragrances yet. Get it, girl!
Glam Saturday
Whether you’re going out or staying in, Saturdays are for glam mode! After all, you’ve worked hard all week and deserve a bit of pampering. This look is all about accentuating the eyes and cheekbones – a la Kendal Jenner and Bella Hadid’s signature feline look.
In fact, we’re starting off with a cat eye made significantly easier with THE ONE Wonder Liner. Complete with a new precision-tip brush applicator, it’s the eyeliner that’s got it all – 24-hour wear, waterproof, smudge proof, high pigmentation and intense definition. Perfect for weekend-ready winged eyeliner! Draw even more attention to your eyes by framing them with tinted eyebrows using our THE ONE Brow Pomade. With a cream-to-powder application and angled make-up brush for precision, you’ll be able to create a buildable look that you feel comfortable with and really draws attention to your eyes. Complete your come-hither eyes with our THE ONE 5-in-1 Wonder Lash XXL Mascara for some real vavavoom!
Of course no Saturday glam mode is complete without contour and highlights! Use our THE ONE Contouring Kit, which comes complete with your bronzer, highlighter and blush in three new palettes designed for every skin tone, and finish with a beautiful and hydrating bold lip colour from THE ONE Colour Stylist Ultimate Lipstick with 5-in-1 benefits including saturated colour, total coverage in just one stroke, a rich texture and creamy finish. You’re runway ready now!
Self-care Sunday
Sundays are for giving yourself all the rest and relaxation you need to recoup and reenergise for a new week ahead! Making time for your inner beauty is just as important as spending time on your outer beauty – because if you feel good, it shows! Take some time for yourself today to nourish your skin and body, in whatever ways feel good to you.
Our first step is a detoxifying facial massage, which de-puffs and instantly reveals glowing and radiant skin. Of course you can do facial massage with just your fingers but our SkinPro Sonic 3-in-1 System is perfect for lymphatic drainage, a gentle massage that encourages the movement of lymph fluids around the body, resulting in increased circulation and skin cell turnover - key to help keep your skin looking smooth and healthy!
And why stop at your face? Give your body some love too with our Swedish Spa Whipped Waves Body Butter, enriched with Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, Canola and Sweet Almond oils. With a rich, creamy texture that melts into your skin, you’ll feel an instant increased softness to your skin.
Finish off your R&R with a rich, nourishing hair mask like HairX Advanced Care Ultimate Repair Nourishing Hair Mask, specially formulated to rejuvenate and revitalise damaged and over-processed hair and strengthen the hair fibres from all that blow drying done during the week! Remember to get to bed early and treat yourself to an intensive overnight face mask (NovAge Intense Skin Recharge Overnight Mask) designed to deeply nourish and moisturise skin, erasing signs of fatigue to leave you with completely rested and glowing skin come Monday morning!
Today is the first day of the rest of your week.
