This is a question we get asked alot as make-up artists. It makes me sad to think that so many women are scared to try certain colours or believe they can't pull of certain colours. Lipstick is a quick and fun way to play with colour or complete a look.

So I know it seems easy enough (as all make-up artists will tell you) to say that if you have;

• FAIR SKIN you can play around with corals, apricots and nudes
  
• MEDIUM SKIN try rose, mauves and berries
• DARK SKIN go with plums and wines

I can't think of a single eye shape, colour or size that doesn't suit top-liner. It instantly adds depth and definition to your eyes. Ok, "that's great", you're thinking, "but we're not all make-up artists". Pfft! Of course we are! With a little direction and a helping hand with technique, you can be your own make-up artist :)

So if you've been reading anything me and Dee have been writing, you will have noticed that we have hair issues. "Blessed" with typical Egyptian naturally curly and frizzy hair, we have tried every trick in the book to escape our afro-genetic makeup.

Ok so I know what you're thinking from the title... wavers are so 1990's - but the 3 barrel waver is in a league all of its own! After searching for one for over a year to find one, and trying several different sized barrels (some resulting in the most pathetic wave you've ever seen, some resulting in pre-blow dried Dee-fuzz) I finally found the one for me.
