As we age, the amount of maintenance required to keep a youthful look will increase, 

but getting started early is a huge advantage. Filling the gap between over-the-counter 

treatments and more aggressive laser offerings, Clear + Brilliant creates and defi nes an 

entirely new category of laser aesthetic treatments for clients moving along the skincare 

continuum. Clear + Brilliant helps prevent and address early signs of ageing, resulting in a 

brighter, more even skin tone. Treatments are comfortable, fast, effective and suitable for 

all skin types. The results are both immediate and progressive, depending on the age and 

condition of the skin. It is also great for those who are looking for short downtime and a quick 

skin ‘pick-me-up’. Call Nicole now to take advantage of an opening offer.

From the 

EDITOR 

Welcome to our first issue for 2023! I love this time of year; being fully 

immersed in a new year full of opportunity and soaking up the last of the 

summer rays. In this issue, we embark on a lifestyle cleanse and discover 

how a holistic approach can do wonders for enhancing our physical and 

mental health (p68). And if you’re interested in a little cosmetic improvement to help 

counter the effects of the party season, on p78 we highlight the most popular surgical 

and non-surgical body options for removing fat and tightening skin. 

As the seasons change, it’s time to adapt our beauty and hair regimen. On p106 

Ricky Allen chats with hair colourist Vincent King on how to switch up your hair 

colour, and on p90 we look at the fundamentals of choosing cool- and warm-based 

makeup to enhance your complexion year-round. We also share the basics of getting 

your skin back on track after a hot summer with our curated list of skincare ingredient 

superstars on p44. 

Late last year, we had the pleasure of meeting style guru and all-round inspiration 

Trinny Woodall. Catch our morning tea with her on p64 and discover how she went 

on to create one of Europe’s fastest-growing beauty brands. On p74, we also honour 

another visionary woman, Jo Malone, and track the journey of her bespoke perfumes 

and signature “scent pairing” philosophy. 

This is also one of my favourite times of the year because it’s award season! On p30 

we pay homage to some of the iconic red-carpet looks of all time. Plus, we showcase this 

season’s best and brightest products to hit the Aussie beauty market (p76). 

We hope you enjoy this issue and are enjoying the start of a happy, healthy and 

beautiful New Year!

and luminous, this ethereal scent is 

reminiscent of new beginnings and 

a soothing sea breeze.

your favourite cocktail on your

SOME OLD FAVES AND 

MEET SOME SKIN-LOVING 

HEROES YOU MAY BE 

UNFAMILIAR WITH IN OUR 

CRASH COURSE ON THE 

MOST POPULAR SKINCARE 

INGREDIENTS. 

A 

ALGAE 

Algae is known to be one of the 

world’s most complete food sources 

and is commonly used in skincare 

to aid in the natural production of 

collagen and improve elasticity, 

hydration and skin tone. 

synonym: Seaweed extract, kelp, 

marine extracts 

ALOE VERA 

This polysaccharide-rich gel is one 

of the oldest and most recognised 

botanicals. While it’s best known 

for its soothing properties and 

lightweight hydration, particularly 

useful for sunburn, it is also rich 

in antioxidants and enzymes that 

help to promote the production of 

collagen and elastin. 

synonym: Aloe, Aloe barbadensis 

ALPHA HYDROXY 

ACIDS (AHAS) 

Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) help 

loosen the “glue” between dead 

skin cells and enhance exfoliation. 

The most well known AHAs are 

glycolic acid and lactic acid. Glycolic 

acid comes from sugar cane, and 

lactic acid from milk. They work 

to exfoliate the skin and give a 

fresher appearance, as well as 

increase hydration by supporting 

natural hyaluronic acid production. 

Alpha hydroxy acids, at high 

enough concentrations, result in 

moisturisation and stimulation of 

water-holding gels in the skin which 

cause plumpness, firmness and 

wrinkle reduction. 

synonym: AHA, Lactic Acid, Citric 

Acid, Tartaric Acid, Malic Acid, 

Sodium Lactate, Lauryl Lactate, Cetyl 

Lactate, Myristyl Lactate, Mandelic 

Acid, Gluconolactone, Fruit Acid 

ALPHA LIPOIC ACID 

Alpha lipoic acid is an enzyme and 

antioxidant that has been shown to 

improve skin texture and tone, help 

to reduce under-eye puffiness and 

enlarged pores, and even improve 

the appearance of rosacea. It may 

also have anti-ageing benefits due 

to its strong antioxidant benefits 

that help to protect the skin from 

environmental aggressors. 

synonym: Thioctic Acid, ALA 

AMINO ACIDS 

Amino acids are the building blocks 

of proteins and peptides. Depending 

on their type, they can stimulate 

cell activity like collagen synthesis, 

transport moisture through the skin 

and promote skin resilience. 

synonym: Arginine, Lysine, Proline, 

Valine, Tyrosine, Leucine, Glycine, 

Phenylalanine, Alanine, Gamma 

Amino Butyric Acid, GABA, 

Glutamine, Cysteine, Acetyl 

Cysteine, Carnitine, Thymidine, 

Guanosine, Guanine

ANTIOXIDANTS 

Antioxidants are the skin’s 

bodyguards, helping protect the 

skin from free radicals, which attack 

healthy skin cells and collagen. 

Antioxidants help mop up the 

damage free radical scavengers 

leave behind. Studies suggest 

antioxidants in combination are 

more effective on the skin than 

single-ingredient formulations. Look 

for products containing Vitamins 

A, B3, C and E, co-enzyme Q10, 

idebenone, lycopene, grapeseed 

extract, papaya, green tea, rosehip 

and resveratrol. 

ARBUTIN 

Arbutin is a plant-derived 

antioxidant from bearberry, licorice, 

cranberry or blueberry plants. It can 

help fade hyperpigmentation by 

working to diminish the production 

of melanin and promote an even 

skin tone. 

synonym: Alpha-Arbutin, Beta- 

Arbutin 

ARGAN OIL 

Native to the Argan tree in 

Morocco, Argan Oil has been 

used for centuries for its excellent 

moisturising and anti-inflammatory 

properties for skin and hair. 

synonym: Argan, Argania spinosa 

AVOCADO OIL 

Avocado oil is full of fatty acids that 

help to promote radiant, hydrated 

skin. It has been shown to visibly 

minimise the appearance of sundamaged 

skin and help restore 

suppleness. One study also found 

it may help with wound healing and 

collagen production. 

synonym: Persea americana 

AZELAIC ACID 

Azelaic acid is derived from yeast 

and provides antimicrobial, antiinflammatory 

and exfoliating 

properties to help improve acne and 

pigmentation and even rosacea. 

synonym: Nonanedioic acid 

BAKUCHIOL 

A plant-based retinol alternative, 

Bakuchiol helps to improve the look 

of lines and wrinkles without any 

irritation, according to a 2019 study 

published in the British Journal 

of Dermatology. This ancient 

botanical, which has recently made 

headwaves in skincare, has antiinflammatory 

and anti-microbial 

properties, while helping to increase 

collagen production and reduce 

the look of fine lines, wrinkles and 

hyperpigmentation. 

synonym: Psoralea Corylifolia 

Seed Oil 

BETA HYDROXY ACIDS 

(BHAS) 

Beta hydroxy acids work to control 

excess oil production and secretion 

and gently exfoliate the skin’s 

surface, making it a popular option 

for blemish-prone and oily skin. 

Unlike AHAs, these are oil-soluble, 

which means they can penetrate 

deeper into pores. The most 

commonly known BHA is salicylic 

acid. According to the FDA though, 

from a chemist’s perspective, 

salicylic is not a true BHA. 

synonym: salicylic acid (or related 

substances, such as salicylate, 

sodium salicylate, and willow bark 

extract), beta hydroxybutanoic acid, 

tropic acid, trethocanic acid 

BROMELAIN 

This is a nutrient-rich extract from 

pineapple enzymes, commonly 

used to help bruising, swelling 

and wounds. It also works as an 

exfoliator to give the skin a brighter, 

more glowing appearance. 

synonym: Ananas comosus, 

pineapple enzyme 


SKIN 

CERAMIDES 

Ceramides are a type of skin lipid 

that sit in the top layer of the skin 

and work to lock in essential oils 

and moisture. They are essential 

in maintaining both the structure 

and strength of the lipid matrix. 

Ceramides are a naturally occurring 

skin lipid found within the cell 

membrane. They are used in 

skincare products as an emollient 

and, because of their rich, luxurious 

feel, many are used on dry, chafed 

and inflamed or delicate skin. 

Also look out for products 

containing evening primrose oil, 

jojoba, coconut, macadamia, olive, 

shea butter and wheatgerm. 

COENZYME Q10 

CoQ10 occurs naturally in the body, 

however, factors such as stress, 

ageing and some medications can 

lower the levels. In most people over 

30, levels of CoQ10 in the skin are 

below optimum, resulting in lesser 

ability to produce collagen, elastin 

and other important skin molecules. 

CoQ10 penetrates into skin cells to 

boost skin repair and regeneration 

and reduce free radical damage. 

synonym: Ubiquinone, CoQ10 

ENZYMES 

Enzymes dissolve surface skin cells 

for better delivery of topical skincare 

and promoting the look of glowing, 

fresh skin. Papaya, pineapple 

and pumpkin are the three most 

common sources of enzyme in 

skincare.

FERULIC ACID 

Ferulic acid is an antioxidant from 

the cell wall of plants and has been 

shown to help combat skin ageing 

by helping to protect future free 

radical damage and repairing 

existing free radical damage. It is 

particularly effective combined with 

Vitamins C and E to increase efficacy 

and enhance stability. 

synonym: ferulate, hydroxycinnamic 

acid 

GLYCOLIC ACID 

(see AHAs) 

HYALURONIC ACID 

Found naturally in the body, 

hyaluronic acid is what gives skin its 

volume and fullness. One of its many 

claims to fame is that it can hold up 

to 1,000 times its weight in water. 

Because of its ability to “latch” onto 

huge numbers of water molecules 

and bring them into the cells of 

the skin, it is an extremely effective 

hydrator and skin plumper. 

synonym: sodium hyaluronate, 

hyaluronan 

JOJOBA OIL 

From jojoba plant seeds, jojoba 

oil mimics the skin’s natural oils 

and thereby works synergistically 

with the natural lipids in the skin to 

provide lightweight, well-tolerated 

hydration. 

synonym: Simmondsia chinensis, 

Isopropyl Jojobate 

KOJIC ACID 

This compound is a byproduct 

from fermented rice in sake 

and is commonly used to treat 

pigmentation as it helps inhibit the 

production of tyrosinase to combat 

excess melanin. 

synonym: Kojic Acid Dipalmitate 

L-ASCORBIC ACID 

(see Vitamin C)

LACTIC ACID 

(see AHAs) 

NIACINAMIDE 

(see Vitamin B3) 

MANUKA HONEY 

Native to New Zealand, manuka 

honey contains natural antibacterial, 

antifungal and healing benefits, 

making it suitable for use in skincare 

that targets redness, inflammation 

and blemish-prone skin. 

synonym: Leptospermum 

scoparium, kāhikato 

PEPTIDES 

Peptides are small molecules of 

at least two or more amino acids 

chemically linked together. When 

certain amino acids are combined, 

they create specific peptides (the 

different combinations are virtually 

limitless). Acting as chemical 

messengers, peptides communicate 

with cells to activate their target. 

Peptides have a variety of functions, 

primarily they help to stimulate 

collagen, combat what is known 

as Advanced Glycation End (AGE) 

product formation, which is a 

metabolic process that damages 

collagen in the body, and reduce 

pigmentation. 

synonym: pentapeptides, 

hexapeptides, palmitoyl 

oligopeptide, palmitoyl 

tetrapeptide, copper peptides 

RESVERATROL 

Primarily found in red wine, 

resveratrol has been shown to have 

antioxidant, antimicrobial and antiinflammatory 

properties, making 

it a “jack of all trades” in skincare 

products. 

ROSEHIP OIL 

Produced from the seeds of the rose 

bush, rosehip oil is rich in fatty acids 

and Vitamins A and C. Its soothing, 

hydrating and anti-inflammatory 

properties helps to smooth and 

brighten skin and improve the look 

of stretch marks and scars. 

SALICYLIC ACID 

(see BHAs) 

SEAWEED 

(see Algae) 

TITANIUM DIOXIDE 

This is a mineral commonly used 

as a physical sunscreen for both 

UVA and UVB – meaning that it 

works by sitting on top of the 

skin to block damaging UV rays. 

It can also be used as a base for 

pigments, particularly in foundation 

and powders, and can be used as a 

thickener. 

VITAMIN A 

Vitamin A is often touted as the 

most effective topical ingredient to 

prevent, restore, normalise and help 

repair damaged skin. Since our body 

does not make Vitamin A, our skin 

becomes deficient over time. 

Arguably the most potent 

topical derivative of Vitamin A 

is retinol (retinoic acid), which is 

widely regarded as the anti-ageing 

solution. Retinol encourages 

better cell function and turnover 

to improve skin texture, increase 

collagen production to address 

fine lines, inhibit the enzyme 

tyrosinase to address excess and 

abnormal melanin production 

(hyperpigmentation), and regulate 

oil production to improve acne. 

RETINOIDS / RETINOL 

(see Vitamin A) 


SKIN

VITAMIN B3 

Vitamin B3 takes its place alongside 

skincare veterans Vitamins A and C. 

It increases ceramide production 

to boost natural hydration levels and 

skin luminosity; helps prevent the 

transfer of melanin from melanocyte 

to keratinocyte and thereby 

reducing hyperpigmentation; 

increases the natural immunity 

of the skin to defend against 

environmental stress; and reduces 

excess oil production. Niacinamide, 

the physiologically active form of 

Vitamin B3, is part of the Vitamin B 

group and is water soluble. Used 

in anti-ageing products, studies 

have shown it stimulates collagen 

synthesis and fatty acid levels in skin. 

synonym: Nicotinamide, Nicotinic 

Acid Amide, Myristyl Nicotinate 

VITAMIN B5 

Vitamin B5 helps to hydrate and 

retain moisture in the skin, calm 

irritation and promote skin healing. 

It helps to strengthen the skin’s 

barrier and promote increased 

elasticity. 

synonym: pantothenic acid 

VITAMIN C 

As L-ascorbic acid – the form of 

Vitamin C that the majority of 

medical papers refer to as being 

most active on human skin cells 

– Vitamin C works to increase 

collagen production to reduce fine 

lines and minimise scarring and 

is a potent anti-inflammatory. It is 

an antioxidant found naturally in 

the skin, which works with other 

antioxidants to prevent free radical 

damage. 

synonym: Calcium Acerbate, 

Ascorbyl Palmitate, Vitamin C 

Palmitate, Sodium Ascorbate,

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, 

Calcium Ascorbate, Ascorbyl 

Tetraisopalmitate, vitamin c ester, 

Ascorbyl glucoside, ascorbic acid

VITAMIN E 

Vitamin E is an antioxidant with 

anti-inflammatory and moisturising 

properties. It can also help 

prevent free radical damage as 

well as improve skin softness and 

smoothness, help prevent skin 

discolouration and keep breakouts 

at bay. 

synonym: tocopheryl acetate, 

tocopherol acetate, or vitamin E 

acetate 

VITAMIN K 

Topical Vitamin K is often used to 

help redness, particularly in dark 

circle eye treatment formulations or 

for post-procedure bruising. Vitamin 

K’s main function is blood clotting 

and tissue healing. 

synonym: phytonadione 

ZINC OXIDE 

The single most important antiageing 

product is not a vitamin at 

all, but a mineral. Given that sun 

damage is the fundamental basis of 

environmental ageing, zinc oxide 

used in a broad-spectrum sunblock 

should be your number-one skincare 

ingredient, protecting you against 

the harmful rays from the sun.

CONVERSATION 

WITH 

TRINNY 

WOODALL 

TRINNY WOODALL, THE INSPIRING FOUNDER AND 

CEO OF TRINNY LONDON, SPILLS THE TEA TO 

RICKY ALLEN ON CREATING A BEAUTY EMPIRE.

Trinny Woodall burst into our lives in 2001 

with the highly successful UK television series 

What Not to Wear and instantly became a 

fan favourite with her authentic and straight-talking 

style advice. Even Oprah became a Trinny admirer, 

inviting her as a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show on 

multiple occasions. 

While What Not to Wear, co-hosted with Susannah 

Constantine, went from strength to strength, Trinny 

even managed to co-write 12 books, which fast 

became the go-to bibles for style. 

Following the end of the television series, Trinny 

pivoted her brand (and first-hand knowledge) from 

fashion into beauty and, after years of research, 

launched makeup line Trinny London in 2017 and 

Trinny London Skincare in 2022. 

Known for her (sometimes brutal) honest advice, 

Trinny founded her makeup brand with the sole 

purpose of giving everyone the tools they need to 

feel their best. Banishing overflowing makeup bags 

for good, she introduced a streamlined solution 

called the stack: cream-based, multi-tasking pots that 

click seamlessly together. After that, it seemed only 

logical Trinny London would take on the world of 

skincare with a game-changing skincare collection. 

I was lucky enough to sit down with Trinny when 

she visited Australia recently. Of course, I was nervous 

that she was going to critique my wardrobe, but she 

was much more interested in getting to know me 

and went to great lengths to make me feel like we 

were just friends having morning tea together. In fact, 

she was one of the nicest, most knowledgeable and 

most switched-on people I have ever interviewed. 

Her depth of knowledge about skin and the aesthetic 

needs and wants of women was impressive. 

During the interview, Trinny offered to apply my 

makeup for me using her Trinny London makeup 

I WAS NERVOUS THAT SHE 

WAS GOING TO CRITIQUE MY 

WARDROBE, BUT SHE WAS 

MUCH MORE INTERESTED IN 

GETTING TO KNOW ME.

THE COLOURS ARE

DISCARD SEASONALLY. 

products. As mentioned above, these come in very practical 

stackable containers which have fast become a traveller’s 

dream. The colours are beautiful, a blend of on-trend hues 

as well as the good old staples which many other brands 

discard seasonally. The range is not huge; rather, it includes 

only the products that we really need. 

I declined her kind offer as I was much more interested 

in just chatting to her. She did go through her personal 

makeup selection, though. I am outlining them here so if 

you want to look like Trinny try: Eye2Eye in Fortune, Sheer 

Shimmer in Dido, Lip to Cheek in Milly, Eye to Eye in Lovers, 

Eye to Eye in Choice, Lip Love in Sacha, Lip Luxe in Eugenie 

and Lip Luxe in Swainy. 

I asked Trinny why she launched a makeup collection 

before her skincare range. She was quick to answer that 

bringing out makeup first gave her the opportunity to 

continue researching skincare ingredients and assessing 

what women really want from their skincare. 

I feel that everything Trinny does in business is very 

researched and meticulously planned. Her newly launched 

skincare range was a real journey of love for her, borne out 

of her suffering from acne both as a teenager and adult. 

Trinny wants to make sure she does her bit to ensure the 

users of her Trinny London skincare never have to worry 

about bad skin.

In true Trinny style all the skincare products in the 

range have empowering names, such as Energise Me, a 

niacinamide moisturizer, Be Your Best, an enzyme balm 

cleanser, and Boost Up, a 30% Vitamin C serum. 

Trinny said she often changes her skincare regime 

based on her skin’s actual needs, which vary greatly, 

especially as she travels extensively. She asked me to fill 

out a questionnaire so she could prescribe the skincare 

for my regime. Unfortunately, I had forgotten my glasses 

so Trinny painstakingly read through the questionnaire 

with me to ensure I was only given the right products for 

my skin’s needs. That showed to me exactly why women 

all around the world can relate to and love Trinny 

Woodall. My Trinny London Skincare now has pride 

of place in my bathroom, personally picked by Trinny 

herself and is working wonders on my skin. 

Trinny believes in giving back, and her passion for 

business and entrepreneurship can be seen through her 

support of other start-up founders through mentoring 

and the Elevator Pitch series on her Instagram, where 

female entrepreneurs are invited to pitch their business 

ideas to a wide audience. 

In just five years,Trinny London has become one of 

the world’s fastest-growing beauty brands. And I have a 

feeling she’s just getting started. CBM

YOUR LIFESTYLE CAN DO WONDERS 

FOR ENHANCING YOUR PHYSICAL AND

The damage we do to

get all the publicity for 

post-season detox solutions. Amid 

holiday celebrations, parties and 

not-so-occasional late-night

But if you’re finding your festivities 

trickle on for months after this binge 

siege, you’re not alone. It’s hard

to the lax, especially coming out 

of the COVID restrictions from the

not only bad for your health but 

it also starts to manifest itself in 

breakouts, weight gain, weak hair, 

dry skin, wrinkles, tiredness and 

all-round energy depletion. If you 

haven’t already learned that beauty 

radiates from the inside out when 

it comes to looking after yourself, it 

becomes painfully clear once these 

manifestations start blocking your 

daily glow. 

How do you rise out of this rut? 

Small steps are the key. You don’t 

need to become an overnight 

vegan gym-bunny to make positive 

changes to your lifestyle and 

appearance, but taking a holistic 

approach to your routine can do a 

lot for looking and feeling refreshed, 

relaxed and a little more zen. 


FEATURE 

The 

mind-body 

connection 

Paul Taylor, founder of the 

MindBodyBrain Performance Institute, 

says the brain is a powerful tool in 

making lifestyle changes. ‘Staying in 

shape is just as much about focusing 

on the brain as it is about exercising 

and eating well,’ he says. ‘The brain 

controls everything the body does but 

is reliant on the health of the body’s 

optimal function.’ 

While for some people motivation 

comes naturally and is a powerful 

instrument, it is often relied upon as the 

sole catalyst for change. ‘Motivation is 

completely controlled by the brain and is 

dependent on the chemical dopamine. 

The biggest mistake people make when 

trying to get into shape is that they rely 

on motivation, which waxes and wanes. 

The real key is to create a new habit, 

and the key to this, as far as the brain is 

concerned, is to develop rituals. 

‘When we repeat something enough, 

it becomes a habit. The reason it does 

so is because the neural wiring for this 

activity moves to a part of the brain 

called the basal ganglia, which is where 

our habits are stored – simply put, the 

brain loves routine.’ 

So, funnily enough, you actually have 

the power to trick yourself into living 

well. Injecting a space in between 

leaving work and arriving home to do 

a 25-minute jog on the treadmill, or 

replacing a mid-morning pastry with a 

green tea, can go a long way in achieving 

long-term life balance.

Superfoods 

are real 

We all essentially know what we shouldn’t be eating but what about 

the foods that make up the ‘should’? We’re constantly bombarded with 

new information about nutrients, antioxidants and vitamins, with some 

categorised as essential and some as elite. ‘Superfoods’ are in the latter 

group and are characterised by their high content of vitamins, minerals, 

fibre, antioxidants and essential fatty acids. 

The speculation about whether the term ‘superfood’ represents a 

microcosm of healthfood marketing ploys has been the subject of many 

inquiries, with frequent reports about the dramatically higher sales of 

blueberries since being painted with the superfood brush. 

Blueberries, along with salmon and other omega-rich fatty fish, 

soy products, grains, tea and dark chocolate are the top choices for 

superfoods. They boast effects such as lower levels of cholesterol and 

blood sugar, lower risk of heart disease and cancer, as well as a decrease 

in inflammation – one of the key culprits in the ageing process. 

While they are often associated with extreme diets and fad detox 

plans, you don’t have to survive on these foods alone to experience their 

benefits. Working these foods into each meal, one at a time, will add 

variety to your diet and can slowly evolve into exploring new ways to 

enjoy food. 

Experts advise that adding half a cup of blueberries to your morning 

cereal is a healthy start. As a general rule, the more colour the fruit 

or vegetable has, the richer it is in antioxidants. Integrate spinach, 

pumpkin, beetroot and capsicum into your weekly dinner cycle. 


FEATURE 

When 

we go zen 

Meditating can be an extremely beneficial way to decrease 

stress, clear your mind and help maintain an emphasis on 

what’s important to you. Part of feeling good about yourself 

and leading a balanced lifestyle is honing your personal goals 

and putting a name to the qualities you like about yourself 

(and no, this doesn’t have to involve reciting affirmations to 

yourself in front of the mirror every morning). 

Defining what actually classifies an act as ‘meditation’ 

is difficult, particularly because there are so many varying 

techniques and cultures from which the skill has evolved. At 

its core, meditation has been described as a state of bare 

attention, or a focused yet relaxed state of mind. 

Simply sitting quietly and concentrating on the action of 

breathing can achieve this, as well as walking in the park – the 

point is to de-clutter your mind and overcome internal chatter. 

Research has shown that meditation activates the 

autonomic nervous system, which is responsible for 

involuntary functions such as digestion and blood pressure, 

often negatively affected by stress. It makes sense that when 

stress is eased, stress-related health problems are lessened 

and general wellbeing is enhanced. Take half an hour for 

some ‘you time’ to promote calmness – it’s a simple and 

effective way to integrate meditation into your routine. 

So, given the definition of meditation remains somewhat 

murky, how do you know if you’re doing it right? The answer 

across the board is that if you feel better than you did before 

you began, you’re doing it correctly! 

A daily fitness routine can act as a form of meditation as 

it requires a certain level of concentration and can create a 

sense of freedom in the mind. Experts say modern versions of 

meditation are just as effective as their ancient counterparts 

because the techniques have been adapted to suit modernday 

lifestyles and associated stresses. 

Simply put, when it comes to reintegrating a sense of the 

holistic into your lifestyle and radiating from within, slowly 

introducing realistic and achievable goals into your day-today 

is the key. CBM

Creating 

your 

signature 

scent 

RICKY ALLEN DELVES INTO THE ART OF 

FRAGRANCE LAYERING AND SCENT 

PAIRING FOR A TRULY BESPOKE PERFUME. 

In an era finally championing diversity and 

individuality, no one wants to look the same. And we 

don’t want to smell the same, either. 

Jo Malone, British perfumer and founder of 

Jo Malone London, was ahead of her time in this area. 

As far back as 1994, the company was rewriting the 

rules of perfume and developing the concept of 

bespoke fragrances with their unexpected 

combinations of scents. 

Of course, Malone realised that it was too difficult to 

have each Jo Malone London store creating bespoke 

scents for every client who came in. The solution? 

Fragrance layering. The company trademarked the 

term “scent pairing” (apparently “layering” cannot 

be trademarked), which enabled women and men to 

mix and match their favourite scents according to their 

mood and occasion.

Scent pairing became the essence of the Jo Malone 

London philosophy. Each scent is crafted with the concept 

of layering in mind, and are designed to be worn alone 

or paired with another Jo Malone scent to help you find a 

combination that is uniquely yours. 

Jo Malone London fragrances are renowned for the 

purity of their ingredients. While it’s not uncommon for 

traditional fragrances to have hundreds of ingredients, 

Jo Malone fragrances tend to have far fewer – this 

cleanness and clarity also enables them to be paired 

without being overbearing. 

In-store, specially trained Jo Malone stylists are on hand 

to guide you in the art of fragrance pairing and selecting 

the fragrances that suit you and your body chemistry best, 

as well as suggested pairings to go from day to evening, for 

example. There are also discovery tables in-store that have 

“tasting” note cards to give suggestions for scent pairings 

if you choose to have a play and discover new scents for 

yourself. 

Similarly, on their e-commerce site, jomalone.com.au, 

under each fragrance there are suggestions for creating 

the perfect pairing, depending on whether you’re after 

something warmer or fresher. 

A wonderful extra service offered by Jo Malone London 

outlets is a wedding stylist, who will guide the bride and 

groom on the perfect scent pairing to wear for the big day, 

as well as a signature fragrance for the venue. 

‘Jo Malone London fragrances are generally based on 

two key ingredients, making them ideal for scent pairing,’ 

says Clayton Ilolahia, Evaluation and Communications 

Manager of Fragrances of the World, an independent 

body under the direction of legendary perfume expert 

Michael Edwards. 

‘Jo Malone London has perfected the concept of a 

“fragrance wardrobe”,’ he continues. ‘Customers are 

becoming more educated about fragrance and therefore 

their confidence has increased. We see many social media 

posts by everyday women sharing their favourite scent 

pairing combos, sometimes discovering them by trial 

and error.’ 

When trademarking their scent pairing concept in 1994, 

we wonder if Jo Malone London could see that the art of 

creating a signature scent would become so much part of 

today’s fragrance scene. CBM

TREATMENT TO REMOVE YOUR LOVE HANDLES OR WANT 

TO LIFT AND TONE AFTER MASSIVE WEIGHT LOSS, READ 

ON FOR THE MOST POPULAR SURGICAL AND NON- 

SURGICAL OPTIONS FOR REMOVING FAT AND LIFTING 

AND TIGHTENING SKIN. WORDS BY AIMEE RODRIGUES. 


COSMETIC ENHANCEMENT 

Abdominoplasty 

(TUMMY TUCK) 

A tummy tuck (abdominoplasty) removes excess skin and 

fat from the abdomen and is performed under general 

anaesthetic. 

The procedure suits those with problems such as 

excessive skin laxity (looseness), excess fat and laxity 

of the abdominal wall muscles, often resulting in the 

skin flapping downwards. Typical patients have often 

experienced extreme weight loss or pregnancy and wish 

to create a more svelte looking abdominal area. It is often 

performed in combination with liposuction. 

During the abdominoplasty procedure, skin and fat 

are removed from the stomach area and the abdominal 

muscles are repaired, tackling a number of conditions 

at once. While liposuction is used only to remove fat, 

an abdominoplasty can flatten the stomach area by 

tightening the muscles as well as recapturing a more 

hourglass figure. 

An incision is made across the lower abdomen, above 

the pubic bone, and is positioned in such a way as to 

be invisible under swimwear and underwear. A circular 

incision is then made around the navel and the skin is 

then separated from the muscle, working up toward the 

ribs, stitching the muscles together then tightens the 

stomach. Excess skin is removed, and a new opening is 

made for the belly button. 

Patients usually take around three weeks off work. 

Results are a flatter stomach with repaired abdominal 

muscles and removal of excess skin. A scar is created 

across the lower abdomen, which can be hidden within 

the bikini line, and minimised with various scar therapies.

TYPICAL PATIENTS HAVE OFTEN EXPERIENCED 

EXTREME WEIGHT LOSS OR PREGNANCY AND WISH TO 

CREATE A MORE SVELTE LOOKING ABDOMINAL AREA. 

Brachioplasty 

(ARM LIFT) 

Brachioplasty, also known as an arm lift, reshapes 

the underside of the upper arm from the armpit 

to the elbow, and involves the surgical removal 

of excess loose skin and fat from saggy underarm 

areas, sometimes referred to as “bingo wings”. 

As well as the surgical excision of loose skin, 

the procedure may also incorporate liposuction 

to remove excess fat. Performed under general 

anaesthetic, the procedure may require an 

overnight stay in hospital but patients are often 

allowed to go home on the same day. 

Results include improved appearance of the 

upper arm, with more definition and no flapping 

skin. Most people can resume normal activities 

around two weeks after surgery. A scar will be 

visible, typically running along the inside of the 

arm from the armpit to the elbow; however, scar 

management techniques and products can help 

minimise the appearance. 



Breast lift 

(MASTOPEXY) 

A breast augmentation can return shape to a 

flattened, sagging breast, but it is commonly 

combined with mastopexy (breast lift surgery) 

to raise the breasts to a more youthful 

position. In other patients, a breast reduction 

may be more suitable following weight loss, 

and again this is usually combined with a 

mastopexy to achieve the best results. 

For a small lift, the peri-areola mastopexy 

is commonly used, with an incision made 

around the nipple. The nipple is elevated 

and the skin envelope is moved so the 

nipple sits higher on the breast mound. 

For a larger lift, the anchor-incision 

technique may be used. It involves an 

incision being made around the nipple 

and vertically down, with another incision 

horizontally under the breast. Another 

common breast lift method is the shorter 

scar LeJour technique. In both cases, the 

excess skin is removed and the nipple 

placed higher. 

Results include rounder, fuller breasts 

with higher projection and repositioned to 

a more youthful and attractive position. A 

mastopexy can help reduce the appearance 

of back rolls, or sagging skin on the sides 

and back of a weight-loss patient. Initial 

recovery takes around five to seven days 

and resulting scars should fade over time. 

RESULTS INCLUDE ROUNDER, FULLER 

BREASTS WITH HIGHER PROJECTION AND 

REPOSITIONED TO A MORE YOUTHFUL 

AND ATTRACTIVE POSITION.

Breast reduction 

(REDUCTION MAMMOPLASTY) 

Breast reduction (or reduction mammoplasty) is a surgical 

procedure that reduces, lifts and reshapes the breast. It is 

used to remove excess breast fat, glandular tissue and skin 

to achieve a breast size in proportion with your body. The 

procedure is designed to alleviate the discomfort associated 

with overly large breasts. 

The operation seeks to relieve symptoms and pains 

caused by very large breasts. Overly large breasts can cause 

health issues and emotional problems for some women. In 

addition to self-image issues, it can also cause physical pain 

and discomfort. This includes back pain, neck pain, breast 

tenderness, shoulder grooving (from bra straps), intertrigo 

(rash between folds of skin), and overall breast discomfort. 

Many breast reduction surgery procedures usually call 

for just one vertical incision around the areola down to the 

breast crease, and in some cases along the crease as well. A 

portion of fat and excess tissue is then removed. The nipple 

and areola are then pertly repositioned and the skin under 

the breast is re-sculpted. This results in smaller breasts that 

have a more aesthetically pleasing shape and improved 

support, lift and overall fullness. 

Breast reduction surgery is performed under a general 

anaesthetic, with a recuperation period of around three 

weeks. Scars are an inevitable part of any invasive surgery. 

The resulting scar can usually be seen from around the 

nipple down to the breast crease in a vertical line, and may 

fade over 12 – 18 months after the procedure. This scar 

generally takes longer than other types of scarring to settle. 



Liposuction 

Liposuction is a surgical procedure performed 

under anaesthetic to remove deposits of fat 

from specific areas of the body. It can be 

performed almost anywhere on the body where 

there are pockets of fat, including the neck, 

arms, stomach, back, chest, buttocks, thighs 

and ankles. 

It is usually performed as day surgery, 

although some cases may warrant an overnight 

hospital stay. 

Generally, the area to be treated with 

liposuction is infiltrated with a tumescent 

fluid containing local anaesthetic and a vasoconstrictor 

before small cannulas are used to 

vacuum out the fat. Alternatively, a syringe can 

be used to withdraw the fat. 

Power-assisted liposuction, where 

radiofrequency, ultrasound or laser technology 

is used to improve liposuction results, can help 

increase skin contracture and tone and tighten 

the skin’s surface. These types of techniques 

are also typically less aggressive. 

The ideal liposuction patient is at or near 

their ideal body weight (within 30 per cent), has 

good skin elasticity and is seeking reduction of 

diet-resistant localised pockets of fat. They also 

need to understand the risks of surgery and 

have realistic expectations that liposuction is 

not a way of losing masses of weight or a cure 

for obesity. 

Bruising can last for a few weeks and swelling 

for around one to two months. A compression 

garment is usually worn for about four to six 

weeks in most cases. Patients can usually return 

to work after around three to seven days. Final 

results – a trimmer-looking, more proportionate 

and shapely form – can be seen from six 

months to a year as swelling subsides. Results 

are long lasting provided the patient maintains 

a similar weight.

Thigh lift 

A thigh lift is a surgical procedure performed 

under general anaesthetic to remove excess 

skin and fatty tissue, typically in patients 

who’ve lost considerable amounts of weight. 

A thigh lift can be combined with liposuction 

for a smoother result. During the procedure, 

an incision is made in the upper inner thigh 

– in some cases this may extend to the groin 

line or buttock fold – and excess fat and 

tissue is removed via this incision. 

Results include improved contour 

of the upper leg, with tauter skin and 

more defined musculature. Normal daily 

activities can usually be resumed, and are 

encouraged for circulation, within several 

days following surgery. 

A THIGH LIFT CAN 

BE COMBINED 

WITH LIPOSUCTION 

FOR A SMOOTHER 

RESULT. 



Non-surgical 

fat reduction 

Non-surgical body contouring procedures use medical-grade 

energy-based devices to dissolve fat and/or tighten skin. The 

energy is emitted via an applicator through the skin without 

damaging the outer layers, only targeting the underlying fat 

and tissues. 

Targeted fat cells are destroyed and excreted naturally via 

the body’s lymphatic system over a period of several weeks. 

Most devices require a series of treatments spaced several 

weeks apart for optimum results. Fat reduction treatments 

can reduce fat in the targeted area by as much as 20%. 

Although non-surgical body contouring devices offer 

an effective means for achieving a more streamlined body 

shape – commonly targeting treatment areas such as the 

abdomen and thighs – it’s worth remembering that no 

non-surgical device can achieve the level of fat removal 

possible with liposuction. It’s therefore important to have 

realistic expectations of what non-surgical body contouring 

can achieve, both in terms of the amount of fat that can be 

targeted, and the length of time it will take to see results. 

The best candidates are usually those with small to 

medium localised fat deposits that are resistant to diet 

and exercise, rather than those seeking large-volume fat 

removal. For muscle building and toning treatment, just 

about anyone is a suitable candidate. 

Today’s most popular energy systems use fat-freezing 

technology (cryolipolysis treaments), radiofrequency, latestgeneration 

microwave energy and laser technologies. 

CRYOLIPOYLSIS (NON-SURGICAL BODY 

CONTOURING, INCLUDING CLATUU, 

COOLSCULPTING, COOLTECH) 

This method uses almost-freezing temperatures to kill fat cells 

without traumatising the surrounding tissues or harming the 

skin. A gel drape is placed onto the target area to protect the 

skin before the applicator head is placed onto the fat pocket, 

where it remains for approximately one hour. The applicator 

acts like a vacuum to suck the area into position and direct the 

cold temperature to the target fat cells under the skin, which 

are then destroyed and eliminated naturally by the body. 

RADIOFREQUENCY ENERGY 

(BODYTITE, TRUSCULPT ID) 

This non-surgical treatment uses radiofrequency (RF) energy to 

reduce pockets of fat. The energy is emitted via an applicator 

through the skin without damaging the outer layers, only 

targeting the underlying fat and tissues.

With RF body contouring treatment, the heat generated 

from the RF energy dissolves fat cells and causes microscopic 

changes to tissues and collagen fibres, with further collagen 

remodelling occurring over the subsequent months following 

the procedure. The broken down fat cells are drained via the 

lymphatic system and then excreted as urine. An added bonus 

is that it can also improve skin tone and the look of cellulite. 

The full effects may not be visible for several months as 

the improvements are cumulative. You will gradually notice 

changes such as circumferential reduction of the treated area, 

a reduction in cellulite and a more streamlined body shape. 

Radiofrequency body contouring treatments are non-invasive, 

cause minimal discomfort and typically require no downtime. 

MICROWAVE ENERGY 

(ONDA COOLWAVES) 

ONDA Coolwaves by Deka is the first device to use smart 

microwave technology for body contouring applications including 

localised fat deposits, cellulite and skin tightening. Its propriety 

Coolwaves technology targets deeper layers, while keeping the 

skin cool and comfortable. It treats fat pockets, cellulite and skin 

laxity at the same time. 

There is no other device that emits microwaves in the same 

way as the Onda system’s smart handpieces. Microwaves are 

absorbed by molecules in the target tissue, which causies 

them to oscillate and heat up. The Onda handpieces generate 

microwaves at 2.45GHz, a frequency that is preferentially 

absorbed by fat molecules rather than by water molecules. The 

epidermis and the dermis of the skin contain a high percentage 

of water but little fat. 

Therefore, when the Coolwaves penetrate the skin, they pass 

straight through the top layers without depositing excessive 

heat (about 20% of the thermal effect from the microwaves). 

The majority of the Coolwaves energy affects the subcutaneous 

fat, which is heated far more rapidly that the skin (about 80% of 

the thermal effect). 

LASER TECHNOLOGY (SCULPSURE) 

Non-invasive fat reduction using hyperthermic laser uses heat to 

destroy the fat cells and can work wonders on the love handles and 

abdomen. 

It uses a specific laser wavelength to target and destroy fat 

cells below the dermis. Multiple areas can be treated at once in 

just 25 minutes, and all skin types are suitable. The controlled 

hyperthermic laser induces fat cell injury by raising fat temperature 

to a range of 42 to 47˚C – the ideal temperature to eliminate fat 

cells, without damage to surrounding tissue. 

There is no downtime and minimal, if any, discomfort. Results 

can be seen around six weeks after treatment as the body 

naturally metabolises the destroyed fat. A series of treatments 

is typically recommended for optimum results. 



MUSCLE BUILDING, TONING AND SCULPTING DEVICES ARE 

AN EXCITING NEW ADDITION TO THE NON-SURGICAL BODY 

CONTOURING MARKET AND QUICKLY RISING IN POPULARITY.

Muscle sculpting 

& body toning 

Even the most disciplined gym-goer will typically have 

little pockets of fat they just can’t budge or areas on the 

body lacking in definition, despite repeated weights 

and workouts. With the latest advancements in body 

contouring technology, there are options out there to 

remove fat and sculpt muscle without lifting a finger. 

Muscle building, toning and sculpting devices are 

an exciting new addition to the non-surgical body 

contouring market and quickly rising in popularity. 

Most use electromagnetic stimulation to strengthen 

and tighten the abdominal, gluteal and thigh muscles 

through methods of contraction and stimulation 

(called supramaximal contractions) – delivering tens 

of thousands of muscle contractions in a 30-minute 

session (obviously not physically possible during 

normal exercise). 

During muscle toning treatment, applicators 

are placed on areas of the body and generate an 

electromagnetic field that stimulates the motor neuron 

cells of the body’s muscles, causing the muscle to 

contract as it would during movement or exercise. 

When exposed to supramaximal contractions, the 

muscle responds with a deep remodelling of its inner 

structure, resulting in the growth of myofibrils (muscle 

hypertrophy) and creation of new protein strands and 

muscle fibers (muscle hyperplasia). Increased muscle 

density and volume lead to a better definition and 

muscle tone. 

Some muscle building devices have shown a 16% 

average increase in muscle mass, and even a reduction 

in reduction in Diastasis recti (abdominal separation 

caused by pregnancy). 

A series of treatments is usually recommended 

with results seen 3-4 weeks after completion of the 

treatment plan. 

Muscle building and toning devices currently 

available in Australia include EmSculpt by BTL, 

teslaFORMER and truSculpt FLEX. CBM

DO YOU KNOW THE COLOURS 

THAT LOOK BEST ON YOU? HERE’S 

HOW TO CHOOSE MAKEUP FOR 

YOUR SKIN TONE.

Wearing certain colours 

can make or break your 

makeup. The right ones 

will flatter and energise 

your appearance; the 

wrong ones can make you look sallow 

and tired. 

When it comes to choosing new makeup, 

matching shades to suit your skin tone can 

be a tricky business. Broadly speaking, 

cool-toned people have pink, red or bluish 

undertones and warm-toned people have 

yellow, peachy or golden undertones. 

Whether your skin is light, dark or anything 

in between, taking note of your skin’s 

“temperature” can help you choose the 

most flattering makeup for your face. 

Are you warm or cool? Hold a white piece 

of paper to your face in front of a mirror. If 

your skin looks yellowish or greenish then 

you likely have a warm skin tone. If your skin 

looks pink, rosy or blue, you have a cool 

skin tone. If your skin looks grey or ashen, 

you are a neutral skin tone. 

Still in doubt? Check your veins! The 

veins on the inside of your wrist are typically 

the giveaway to what skin tone you are. If 

they look blue or purple, you’re more likely 

to have cool undertones. If the veins look 

green, you have warm-toned skin. Neutral 

tones will be somewhere in the middle.

If you have warm undertones, opt for hues with a yellow 

undertone, including brown, tan, green, teal, gold, burntorange 

and warm red. If you suit cooler colours, stock up on 

pinks, purples, lilacs, grey, burgundy, blacks and blues. When 

it comes to metallics, warm-coloured skin generally suits golds 

and cooler tones suit silver. 

A good combination for warm skins is foundation with a 

yellow base and cheeks/lips in bronze, coral or peach. Cool 

skin benefits from a pink-based foundation and cheeks/lips 

look best in pinks, plums and cool reds.

BASE 

Cool tone: You look best with foundations that have a

making the final result look flawless. Warm foundation 

shades are often labelled beige, golden and tan. 

Neutral tone: Choose neutral-toned foundation but if you 

have an olive complexion you may want to look for bases 

with a hint of gold to warm up their skin and counter any 

greenish undertone. Neutral foundation shades are often 

labelled ivory, buff, nude and linen.

BEAUTY 

LIPS 

LIPS 

Cool tone: Lipsticks with blue undertones generally suit you better. 

Light pinks, red lipstick with a blue base and classic beiges should be 

your go-to colour. A bonus of wearing blue-based reds is that they 

make teeth appear instantly whiter. 

Warm tone: Warmer shades of lipstick with yellow and orange 

undertones are better suited for warm skin tones. Caramel, 

cappuccino, orange-based reds and browns with hints of gold and 

bronze will flatter your complexion. 

Neutral tone: Feel free to wear a lip of any colour depending on your 

mood, clothing or time of year – all colours will look good on you.

EYES 

BEAUTY 

Blue eyes: Earthy colours like golden 

brown, bronze, gold and apricot really 

enhance blue eyes. 

Green eyes: Purple, mauve, plum and 

pink all tend to make green eyes pop. 

Brown eyes: Deep shades generally 

highlight darker eyes. Opt for navy 

blue, brown, deep plum and dark 

greys. 

Hazel eyes: You lucky ones get to 

choose almost any colour you like. All 

shades help to bring out various colour 

flecks in your pupils. Experiment and 

see which colours you like best.

STRADDLING 

THE COLOUR 

WHEEL 

If you’re still on the fence about which colour looks best on 

you, or if you’re buying bridesmaid dresses for six radically 

different skin tones, “universal” colours are your friends. 

These colours have a medium undertone and typically work 

well on anyone. 

Universal colours include taupe, navy, teal, turquoise, jade, 

cobalt blue, periwinkle (Pantone’s 2022 colour of the year), 

eggplant, true red, warm pink and stone grey.

FROM GLAZED DONUT 

NAILS TO FLUFFY BROWS 

TO ‘GLISTENING’ LIPS, 

ONCE AGAIN TIKTOK WAS 

A GOLDMINE FOR BEAUTY 

HACKS AND TRENDS. 

TikTok has published its fifth annual 

‘Year on TikTok’ report, which provides 

an overview of the creators, viral 

moments, trends and products that resonated 

the most with us. 

‘We’re honored to celebrate our global 

community who shaped this year’s trends, shared 

new ideas, learned from one another, and turned 

their passions into careers and livelihoods 

throughout 2022. It’s been truly inspiring to see 

over a billion people around the world show their 

creativity and come together to experience joy 

and find a sense of belonging on TikTok,’ said 

Vanessa Pappas, Chief Operating Officer, TikTok. 

On TikTok we all learned a new beauty trend 

or two this year, along with some handy life 

hacks along the way. Here are some of the most 

popular, according to TikTok. 


FEATURE 

CHAP-PROOF LIPS 

The sixth most popular tutorial (covering all 

categories) was a simple olive oil hack for 

‘glistening’ lips. 

With over 570,000 likes, this viral hack 

by beauty influencer Charles Gross all but 

guarantees to prevent chapped lips and 

leave a “glistening” pout. 

Despite being known for his penchant for 

luxury beauty and fashion items, Gross’ goto 

lip product is an inexpensive one which 

most of us already have in our pantries. 

‘Let me tell you about the product that 

I use, [which] I am almost positive you 

already have. The product I use on my lips 

to prevent them from ever being chapped 

and I have been using almost my entire life. 

‘It feels so ingrained in my muscle 

memory, so much a part of my day, I don’t 

really consider it a part of my skincare 

routine or any routine. It’s almost like 

taking a vitamin or remembering to put on 

drawers. It’s olive oil.’ 

Gross says he rubs olive oil on his lips 

in the morning after his usual skincare 

routine and at night before bed. He also 

sometimes adds salt or sugar into the mix, 

to create a homemade lip scrub. 

We tested it out and enjoyed the results: 

soft and hydrated lips with a smoother 

texture and glossy shine. 

TIKTOK MADE ME 

BUY IT 

On its top-five list of viral 

#TikTokMadeMeBuyIt moments based on 

views and engagements, MAC Cosmetics’ 

MacStack mascara came in at number two 

(behind a viral food chopper). 

According to Glossy.co, less than a 

month after its March 1 launch in 2022, 

MAC Cosmetics’ MacStack mascara went 

viral on TikTok after being featured by 

beauty mega-influencers including 

Mikayla Nogueira, Meredith Duxbury and 

Patrick Starrr. 

The mascara’s hashtag received over 

73 million views within the first three weeks 

of its launch and at time of writing is at 

268 million views. Its TikTok virality resulted 

in real-world sales, making it the numberone 

mascara at Ulta Beauty in the US. It was 

later listed in Estée Lauder Companies’ fiscal 

third-quarter financial report as a star product 

helping to drive the conglomerate’s makeup 

sales comeback. 

According to the company, MacStack’s 

main point of difference is that while many 

mascaras clump after a number of coats, the 

MACStack formula does not, no matter how 

many layers you use.

GLAZED DONUT NAILS 

Hailey Bieber, one of the most popular celebrity makeup 

inspirations of 2022, helped popularise the trend of slightly 

pearlescent, sparkly nude nails that glisten like a delicious Krispy 

Kreme donut. The glazed donut manicure was first seen on Hailey 

at the 2022 Met Gala. The nail artist behind the scrumptious look, 

Zola Ganzorigt, later shared a tutorial revealing the products 

she used. Her secret to creating the glazed effect? OPI Chrome 

Effects Powder in Tin Can Man.

FEATURE 

LAMINATED BROWS 

Last year was a moment for “soap 

brows” and this year it’s all about 

laminated brows. Brow lamination is 

the latest beauty trend and a service 

increasingly popping up on salon 

menus. The technique uses chemicals 

to semi-permanently set the eyebrows 

in an upright position, similar to a lash 

lift for your eyelashes. But, of course, 

some clever TikTokers such as Leila 

Nikea have shared how to get the look 

without investing in a salon visit. 

HEATLESS CURLS 

Heatless curls are all over your 

feed. In fact, there are over two 

billion videos using the hashtag 

#heatlesscurls. This modern 

spin on the OG hair roller has 

people wrapping their hair 

around pretty much anything 

they can find laying around at 

home – leggings, scrunchies, 

even socks and chopsticks!

CRYING MAKEUP TREND 

In 2022, it seems sad was more than a feeling, it 

was an identity. The whole “fresh sob” look came 

to our attention courtesy of content creator Zoe 

Kim Kenealy, whose TikTok on ‘crying makeup’ has 

amassed over 4.4 million views for that one video. 

MILK FROTHER FOUNDATION 

Whipping up your foundation with a milk frother 

may sound like a bit of a stretch, but TikTokers are 

literally frothing with excitement over this new hack. 

All you need is water, foundation and your trusty milk 

frother, aerating the mixture until it has a mousse-like 

consistency. The result, according to foundationfrothing 

founder Avonna Sunshine, is a natural, 

weightess feel with slightly lighter coverage. CBM

RICKY ALLEN CHATS TO LEADING 

HAIR COLOURIST VINCENT 

NOBILE ABOUT THE EVOLVING 

WORLD OF HAIR COLOUR. 

There’s a strong connection between looking 

and feeling good, and your hair is an important 

aspect of this. We feel more confident and 

attractive when we have a “good hair day” versus 

a bad one. Styled, well-kept hair can even give us a sense 

of control. 

As far as choosing the hair colour to best enhance your 

appearance, look to the experts. Hair colour king Vincent 

Noble from Headcase Hair in Darlinghurst, Sydney, feels 

strongly that the wrong colour can have a negative effect 

on a person’s appearance and self-esteem. ‘You should 

never blindly follow hair colour trends; instead, modify 

them to suit your skin tone and age,’ he says. 

It’s a real treat to see Vincent in action, mixing bespoke 

colours for each client to perfectly complement their skin 

tone, lifestyle and personality. No two clients walk out with 

exactly the same hair colour; he says a woman’s hair colour 

should be as individual as she is.

ADAPT WITH THE SEASONS 

Vincent recommends altering your hair colour 

slightly from summer to winter to match the changes 

your skin tone. 

As for the seasons of time, if you choose to 

embrace the grey, he recommends using glosses 

and semi-permanent highlighters to make the grey 

glimmer and shine and enhance your complexion. 

Speaking of glosses, these have become popular 

recently as they can be used alone or with some 

colour mixed in to bring more shine and vitality 

to the ends of your hair. They are like the top coat 

applied over your favourite nail polish. 

For this summer, browns are muted with some 

fawny blonde threads, giving a sun-kissed vibe. 

‘For blondes, a sprinkling of coppery or hazelnut 

tones through blonde hair will give a really soft glow 

around the face,’ says Vincent. ‘Redheads will have 

a variety of reds and blondes mixed in to give a sunkissed 

and exciting look.’ 

Maintaining glossy, healthy hair can be challenging 

if you colour your hair regularly. In addition to using 

a finishing gloss, Vincent makes sure his clients leave 

the salon with the appropriate at-home shampoo, 

conditioner and mask to protect hair and extend the 

vibrancy and lustre of coloured hair. CBM

WORKOUTS 

TAKE YOUR NEXT HIIT 

SESSION TO THE POOL 

AND WORK OUT SMARTER, 

NOT HARDER. WORDS BY 

SHONAGH WALKER. 

HIIT workouts have long been proven as one 

of the most effective ways to improve cardio 

fitness, muscle tone, and overall health and 

wellbeing. The advantages of these shorter, 

higher intensity workouts are myriad when compared to 

longer land workouts, according to a study by the World 

Journal of Cardiology. 

The study found that ‘for general health and primary 

and secondary cardiovascular prevention, high-intensity 

interval training (HIIT) has been recognised as an 

efficient exercise protocol with short exercise sessions.’ 

Furthermore, it found that ‘high-intensity interval 

training (HIIT) has been recognised as an alternative 

and more efficient protocol than moderate-intensity 

continuous training (MCT), which is the gold standard 

recommended in several guidelines.’ 

Great news for those of us who wish to improve our 

fitness, without having to leave the house. But here’s a 

tip – if you want to make your HIIT work harder, without 

making your workout more difficult … just add water. 


FEATURE 

HIIT + H20 IS THE 

WAY TO GO 

Poolfit is the world’s first on-demand 

water fitness streaming app that focuses 

on full body cardio fitness, strength and 

conditioning in the pool, for all ages and 

levels of fitness. Poolfit’s instructor-led water 

workouts feature over 115 professionally 

created, in-water workouts, comparable to 

traditional land-based workouts. There are 

plenty of lower intensity workouts to choose 

from, but the high intensity routines will be 

welcomed by all. The buoyancy of the water 

offers support and reduces impact on the 

body (just remember to always go at your 

own pace). 

Don’t have a pool? Just take your device 

down to your local pool and work out there. 

WHY WATER? 

‘If you are working out in the pool at chest 

level, you are only bearing 25 to 35 percent 

of your entire body weight, which is ideal for 

longevity, health and overall fitness moving 

through all ages and stages of life,’ says 

PoolFit founder Mark Grevelding. 

By working out in the water, you 

automatically amplify the benefits of 

your HIIT routine. ‘This is because water 

workouts, particularly high intensity routines, 

have countless positive health benefits. 

Think weight loss, cardiovascular health, core 

strength, bone density, muscular endurance 

and strength, flexibility, balance and so 

much more,’ explains Mark. ‘All of these are 

achieved in the low-impact environment 

of water, where uplifting buoyant forces 

limit stress on joints, while at the same time 

improve resistance via the water’s viscosity.’ 

BETTER CALORIE BURN 

Studies have also shown that water workouts 

use an average of 400-600 calories in a 

60-minute routine. Bonus – they continue to 

metabolise calories for up to 24 hours after 

you’ve actually exercised. A 1993 Baretta 

Deep Water Study proved that an average 

of 9.8 calories were burned per minute when 

working out in deep water, which equals 

around the same consumed in a 10-minute 

power walk. 

LOWER YOUR CHANCE OF 

INJURIES 

As much as we love a high impact, high intensity 

exercise routine, it doesn’t come without the risk 

of injury... unless you’re in the water, that is. Mark 

drew on this when creating the Poolfit water 

exercise app. ‘If you have stopped your regular 

jogging routine or other workouts because of 

injury, there’s good news,’ he says. ‘You can run 

and be athletic again. Water workouts help you 

safely achieve your health and fitness goals.’ 

The water’s viscosity provides total body 

resistance from all angles, making it the ideal 

exercise equipment. ‘All movements are resisted 

in water, which means muscles on every side of 

the joint are targeted. This improves muscular 

balance and can reduce chronic pain, while 

decreasing the risk of injury.’

HIIT IN WATER CAN HELP 

WARD OFF EXERCISE 

PLATEAUS 

You know the drill. You’ve been following a 

healthy eating plan and exercising regularly 

for weeks and the results show it. Then, all of 

a sudden, you plateau. Your fitness doesn’t 

seem to be elevating and the scales are staying 

put. ‘By taking your HIIT to the pool, you can 

exercise with all-out intensity, in the joint-friendly 

environment that water affords, thus helping 

to break these frustrating workout plateaus,’ 

explains Mark. 

MOVE BETTER, FEEL BETTER, 

LIVE BETTER 

Doing your HIIT workout in water gives you 

the freedom to move your limbs in multiple 

directions, thereby improving your range of 

motion (which translates to being able to 

move more efficiently during your day-to-day 

activities, too). ‘You can also exercise longer 

and with more intensity in the water,’ says Mark. 

‘This improves muscular endurance and stamina, 

which helps you to move better, feel better and 

live better.’ CBM 

WATCH 

The PoolFit app allows users to download over 115 varied 

workouts, take their iPad or iPhone poolside and get 

moving in a fun and stay-cool manner. Currently available 

in the App Store, Play Store or with a PoolFit subscription, 

a monthly subscription fee of US$15.95 is required after 

a free trial month, however there is no commitment and 

subscribers can cancel at any time. PoolFit founder, Mark 

Grevelding, a long-time aquatic fitness training specialist, 

wants to dispel the myth that you can’t get a good workout 

in the water.
