Trend: Foundation
Update Your foundation will only look good if the canvas (your skin) is smooth, well cleansed and moisturised. For best results, always work from the inside out and use a stippling motion rather than rubbing foundation onto your skin.
Road Test
This week I try …a new fringe

The lowdown I’ve been a big fringe fan since I was old enough to ask for one. After growing one out, I’ve turned to Philip Barwick, my trusted stylist for more years that I can remember, for the latest take on the summer fringe – boho, soft and textured, and falling just below my brows.
Phil is passionate about tailoring fringes to suit people’s faces and cuts mine so it drapes onto my cheekbones and is textured, but easy for me to dry by brushing from side to side.
Pain factor Zero.
Downtime One hour.

Results My fringe feels light as air and falls perfectly. When it gets a bit longer, I can modify it and wear it as a curtain fringe swept to one side, or parted in the middle until my next appointment
