Let’s start with a full-face look, including gorgeous skin. We’ll be reaching for our Bare Beauty Favourites Collection. Not only does it include the Original Mineral Powder Foundation, just look what else is in the box to help create a beautiful festive look.

Once the base is set, why not add a gorgeous glow? We’ve been loving the Gen Nude Blonzer. It’ll warm up your complexion a treat while adding a soft luminous finish.

After something a little more dramatic for the eyes? Not to worry, there’s plenty of choice with the Mineralist Eye Shadow Palette and Eyeliner. From pared-back and pretty to all-out bold, if eyes to mesmerise are your thing, we’ve got you covered!

Is the evening calling for a long-lasting bold lip in case there’s any mistletoe about? Well, you’re just in luck! We love the Barepro Longwear Lipsticks for colour pay-off, longevity and comfortable wear.

The full-face look

We’ll be making the most of our Shape Tape collection this winter. It features the cult classic Shape Tape Contour Concealer for a flawless-looking base, plus Shape Tape Glow Powder for a hit of luminosity. The Gleam Team Eyeshadow Palette can be used to create so many looks too, so you’ve got versatility for the whole season.

We’ve gone for a long-lasting, full-coverage base and a subtle shimmery eye here, which’ll be great for Christmas day itself!

Smokey and sparkly

Heading to the work Christmas do? Then a little bit of glitter is a must-have! The Tartelette Juicy Palette not only has plenty of shades to suit all occasions, but its highly-pigmented shimmer shades are great for reflecting the shine of the season.

We love how the little bit of gold here under the eye really makes the look pop, and the pink shades are flattering on almost any skin tone.

A quick upgrade

The last minute invite always sets us into a bit of a panic, especially if there’s not a lot of time to get ready! The Merry & Bright Shadow Stick collection is one we’ll be keeping in our bags for just the kind of emergency. The Shadow Sticks are so quick to use, and can be blended out with your finger.

Stacking necklaces, bracelets and watches, earrings and rings – jewellery layering is a trend that isn’t going anywhere, that’s for sure. But sometimes it’s hard to know where to start. What necklaces work well? Which rings look best stacked together? In truth, there’s no definite way to mix and match your jewellery – it’s definitely not one size fits all. But if you’ve no idea where to start or need a nudge in the right direction, we’ve got some tips to guarantee a stylish jewellery stack every time. And just a note – its perfectly fine (more than fine!) to layer more than one type of jewellery in the same look. Just follow our tips for each separate part (earrings, rings, necklaces etc), and then use our last tip to ensure they look great both separately, and together too. Choose your base A simplistic foundation should always be on your list. This could be a couple of pieces or just one. Think a delicate chain, a classic watch like this one from Diamonique by Tova, or band ring. Something fairly minimal or simple. This helps to ground your stack, making it look more effortless and not too OTT. We think this flat herringbone bracelet from Diamonique is the perfect place to start. Think about a focal point This is a centerpiece for your stack. Whether you have a delicate pendant (we love the star cut of this Diamonique one) or a chunky chain to draw the eye, large hoops to set your stack scene, or a sparkling rock to center your rings around, you can build your look around a piece just like you would an outfit. If you’re feeling bold, a piece like this Lola Rose Kreena necklace or these Dannii Minogue Megastar Earrings are perfect. Size matters A crucial part of jewellery layering is allowing your pieces to shine through and not crowd each other out. Finer pieces sit well together in most scenarios, but for example when it comes to necklaces, different lengths and shapes are crucial to getting the layering look spot-on. Fine rings and earrings always look incredibly chic together. This Diamonique set of round studs in different sizes can be worn  up your ear stack for a very cohesive, minimalistic look. Or, if you’ve chosen a large pair of earrings or a statement ring for your earring and ring stack, think about graduating away from that focal piece with smaller, finer additions. Bracelets lend themselves particularly well to this, especially if you’re pairing with a watch. For your wrists, try this dazzling Diamonique watch, or bracelet, paired with another smaller sparkling piece like this Diamonique pave link bracelet, and then complete with a couple more delicate pieces such as these Kings Road bracelets by Lola Rose. Make some shapes Again, there’s no hard and fast rule, but a good way to think about this is to either match or contrast your shapes. If you’re wearing chains or rings that are a similar size and colour, different shapes can create a cool-looking contrast. A simple way to do this is to team round stud earrings like this set from Diamonique, and pair with these Diamonique Star studs – same gemstone, same style – just contrasting shapes. You can choose to deviate a little too – your shapes don’t have to completely mirror each other. So with a necklace like this round locket, you could pair with a fine chain with round stations like this one from Diamonique to help to echo your focal piece. Add an element of colour We love a monochrome jewellery look, and stacks look gorgeously chic in the same metal colour. But if you feel like there’s something missing, you could try adding in a different hue to the mix. Whether it’s mixing your metals (always an on-trend look in our opinion), adding in colourful gemstones like the ones in this Diamonique bracelet or some coloured beads like the Eversham bracelet or the Oscy necklace from Lola Rose, it can lift your layering look to the next level. Contrast textures Textures are a great way to add a different element of interest to your layering effort. It’s very understated, and if you want to keep all your jewellery the same colour, its an alternative way to create a multi-dimensional look. Different chains can be a good way to try this, for example, pair our base herringbone chain bracelet with a twisted rope chain, and complete the look with a smooth rope chain like this vintage-style friendship bracelet. Think holistically Most importantly, whatever jewellery you’re layering, it’s a good idea for have an element of  synergy to your pieces. Whether that’s the same metal colour, stone colours or shapes, try to keep one part the same for a theme to (metaphorically) tie them all together.

The post 7 tips to master the art of jewellery layering appeared first on Stories.

Something for every style

The basis for any long-lasting hairstyle is a good haircare routine, and this Percy & Reed set has it all. In your choice of Turn Up the Volume or Bye Bye Dry, this edit really targets your hair’s individual needs, and features shampoo, conditioner, the iconic I Need A Hero! Wonder Balm Hair Primer and a selection of styling products to help your locks to look their very best. It even comes with a scalp massager, so you can turn hair wash day into a true salon-worthy experience. Plus, you can get it on Auto Delivery too – you don’t need to worry about your stash running low!

Curls for days

Curly hair instantly makes us feel put-together, but mastering that all important curling technique can have us falling apart. That’s why we love the Revamp Progloss Liberate Cordless Automatic Rotating Curler. Firstly, it’s cordless. If you’ve even been caught up in a tangle with a wire mid-curl, you know how important this is! Secondly, this tool does all the work for you. Just select your curl direction and it gently draws your hair in, curling as it goes. There’s no awkward twisting, just let it do it’s thing and you’re good to go!

If you’re using a lot of heat on your hair, caring formulas are a must in your routine to help keep each strand looking in top shape. This duo from My Hair Doctor features Colour Protection Mask Intense and Rehydrate Mask Intense, two rich formulas that’ll help to leave damaged hair feeling refreshed, hydrated and softer than ever. Applying a mask once or twice a week between styling will help to maintain the locks you love while supporting your hair’s health.

Sleek and smooth

Slick, glossy locks look great on everyone. But, they can be a little challenging to master. Frizz and kinks can deter from the overall finish, and hours of blow drying isn’t ideal. Luckily, we’ve made it easy. Let’s start with prep. The No. 7 Bonding Oil from Olaplex is a lightweight formula that packs plenty of punch. It works to leave your hair looking glossy and vibrant, while helping to keep fly aways at bay for that ultimate sleek finish.

When it comes to styling, you can put the round blow-drying brushes down. Switch to the Revamp Progloss Deepform Ceramic Straightening Brush to make things easy. It features deep-reaching detangling and straightening bristles to allow hair to be styled in large sections with ease, saving you plenty of time. And the overall finish? Red carpet-ready, sleek, shiny locks.

Big and bouncy

From beehives to backcombed roots, we love a good bit of hair height. A high-power brush is essential to create these big, bouncy looks, and there’s no better than this one from Hairshark. It boasts a three-in-one design, so you can section your hair with the handle, backcomb with the gentle boar bristles and then smooth over with the shark fin design. It’s a quick, simple way to build volume, but if you’re looking for something even easier, you can’t go wrong with Easilocks clip-ins. Ideal for thinner hair that could use a little oomph, this hairpiece is designed to create the look of volume, thickness and bounce, so you can just clip it in and go.

Looking to support the look of your hair from the inside to help make this bouncy look even simpler? Try a targeted supplement that maintains hair health, like these ones from My Hair Doctor. Part of the Volumise collection, they’re sure to become be a key player in your big hair routine.

Easy up-do

Up-dos are a great trick to have in your arsenal, because not only do they look sophisticated, it’s a simple way to change up your look without a haircut or colour. Easilocks has made it even more simple with the HD Fibre Curly Scrunchie. Just tie your hair back in a bun, and add your scrunchie over the top. You’ll be left with a gorgeous curly up-do in seconds!
