TREND ALERT:

According to Justin German, Pantene Pro-V Consulting Stylist, braids and relaxed undone hairstyles are taking over this season, which is amazing for those mornings when it’s all you can do to just get out the door. Braids are quick and keep hair out of the face, while relaxed hairstyles, like the undone waves are low maintenance and runway approved.

EXPERT TIPS:

The less split ends sticking out of your braids the better, which is why all great hair styles start in the shower. Be sure to get into a hair care routine with your shampoo and conditioner – like the Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal line, which erases the damage of 100 blow-dries.
Think out of the box – try products in new ways to make them really work for you. Use dry shampoo as a texturizer for an undone, piecey wavy look and hairspray as weatherproofing agent for sunny or gusty days.

TREND ALERT:

· A staple this fall is dewy skin – skin that is hydrated, fresh and glowing. This is the perfect “just-back-from-summer” look to help transition into fall.

EXPERT TIPS:

· Like most of us, skin needs a routine to be at its best; for lasting results make sure you regularly cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize – and just because the temperature cools down, don’t forget to drink a lot of water!

· Give skin some midday TLC! Keep some products in your bag for sprucing up between your morning and night routine. Olay Fresh Effects {Spot Zinger!} keeps pimples at bay throughout the day and eye rollers can reinvigorate tired eyes, morning or night!

TREND ALERT:

· Iconographic liner and stained burgundy/berry lips are trending this autumn, according to COVERGIRL Global Creative Design Director Pat McGrath. A strong graphic line creates a new perspective on eyeliner. If you’re not feeling the intense graphic look, try jewel tones like violet or copper liner instead of classic black/brown for wings.

EXPERT TIPS:

· To achieve stained lips, lightly dab lipstick on for a more subdued colour instead of dragging the it across your lip, and don’t be afraid to mix lipstick colours together! Combine COVERGIRL Colorlicious lipstick in Euphoria and Tempt Berry and then lightly blot it off to create a new stain shade.

· Clean your brushes regularly and make sure you know the expiration dates of your makeup products – note: you should be replacing mascara every 3 months!
