I'm Not sure about the word resolution.
I seem to prefer natural beauty with small amounts of help.
I have a couple of new finds for you.
Is there a perfect red lipstick?
I believe there are many perfect reds and as a very frequent wearer of rouge lips,
I know this to be true.
Every now and then I find a matte red that stops me in my tracks,
Or the basket, in my case.
Skincare must-haves change every day - or do they?
five tricks to look five years better?
A bit of a tease but I'm willing to make the effort if it makes me feel better.
There are certain “grooming” jobs I have done regularly otherwise all is not well with the world.

Simple beauty, hair and make-up rituals make all the difference to how I look and feel in myself.
This really, really makes a difference.
Brows, I'm talking.
This is the one.
This beauty edit is more like a reinforcement or reminder than an edit.
Time for power brows.
Going grey is not a new conversation here at VA.
We have been talking about and practicing the silver switch for many years.
I read yesterday how "silver influencers" are the new demographic for brands; finally they are realizing we have not only much to say but also bastions of excellent taste.

Although it never hurts, the keep-it-simple-stupid kind of morning beauty routine is the one I'm talking about.
Wherever I am, whatever the day I practise the same morning routine and it is a simple one. Like cleaning the teeth, I can't get going without these well-established rituals.
I might beauty-up at a different time of the morning but certain routines and products are non-negotiable.
Habit? Yes, definitely. There is not only a degree of comfort in practising routine but also the obvious benefits reaped from regular skincare.
Necessity? Yes, absolutely, I think so.
White eyeliner - yes - It's Back.
