Take a heavy hint from Prada, Jason Wu and H&M: fire-alarm red, blood wine, extreme pink and purple are very necessary right now. Make it loud. And for the love of all that is holy, make it matte. For extra fade-proof grip, push pigment into premoisturised lips with a brush, blotting down a first layer before loading on a second dose.

Clamp each with a hot iron for a few seconds, let set for 20 minutes, then release rolls. Brush lightly and mist with flexible hairspray. Beret optional.

HOT ALERT!
THE SHEET MASK TAN SO GOOD IT’S GOT A WAITLIST
The world’s first sheet infusion facial tan ignited global beauty blogs when it launched at London Fashion Week AW17 – and now it’s here. Soaking skin with dewy hydration, then leaving bronze behind, “masking makes the colour incredibly natural and smooth so it lasts”, says St Tropez tanning expert Michael Brown. “Leave on for 5-15 minutes to customise depth. I massage excess into the hairline, ears and jawline and it’s completely seamless.”
FOR RIGHT NOW
Where has this been all our lives? So many questionable things would never have happened to our eyebrows if this brilliant, can’t-get-it-wrong kit had always been around to show us which shades of powder go exactly where. Live and learn.

get it
Want to jumpstart summer with a fresher, fitter face? We’ve got you… Text by Tracey Withers
I
t’s time. We’re sliding between seasons, we’re switching up the skincare line-up, we have places to glow, so call in the pros. We’re getting up close and personal with an expert and having a facial in the department store while shopping (yes, there are secret treatment suites in Myer and David Jones). So fabulous.
THE KEY TO CLARITY
What: SK-II Pitera-soaked bespoke facial, 60 minutes. Where: beauty room, Myer. Got pigmentation, dullness, the general blahs? After an hour under Effie’s magic hands, it’s fresh, clear radiance a-go-glow. First up, a consultation and deeply deluxe cleanse and clarifying tone, then a firming massage with SK-II’s specialised cream that lifts a face back into tighter shape like a tiny forklift. A 20-minute soak under a Pitera-drenched mask and warm towel throws a serious inner-light switch before the targeted anti-pigmentation serum, eye treatment and treatment cream even go on. Take all the notes, people, because this is an action plan. Perfect to get defences firing before summer UV exposure. Book in: by appointment (07 3088 3357); $65 booking fee, redeemable against buys at the time of treatment. We love: SK-II Cellumination Essence, $245.
ANTI-AGEING
What: Sisley Black Rose Signature Treatment, 30 minutes. Where: David Jones (check with store whether at counter or in beauty room). It’s true – a face can be blissed back to youthful, smooth, so-hydrated-it’s-a-cushy life appearance. It’s the most luxurious lunchtime of all time, but stay focused: this is also an excellent primer on order of application and exactly how to massage the age-defying, re-plumping creams, oils, heavenly masks and essences of the divine Black Rose line in for maximal lift and line removal. Ask about the rich yet water-weight new Skin Infusion Cream – alpine rose extracts, magnolia and geranium make skin so velvety and lush it’s ridiculous. Book in: by appointment. Available 13th-17th September; $40 booking fee, redeemable on one skincare buy on the same day. We love: Sisley Paris Black Rose Skin Infusion Cream, $230.
THE ALL-ROUNDER
What: Clarins signature facial, 60 minutes. Where: beauty room, Myer. This one takes the face’s pulse and gives it the clean, plant-powered nutrients it needs to look like we’ve all been at a health spa, off sugar and on our best behaviour. Excellent for upkeep as skin cycles through the change in seasons, the facial is mostly custom-designed on the day but focuses on the Clarins superhero, Double Serum. As it happens, the newer, smarter, speedier incarnation of Double Serum is just out and it’s all about getting skin cells and selfregulation firing in youthful, optimal order. Psst: there are sweet gifts going on at this counter in September, too. Go. Book in: by appointment; $50 booking fee, redeemable against two treatment products bought on the day. We love: Clarins Double Serum, $95.
26
PURIFYING OIL CONTROL
What: Dermalogica Face Mapping and facial, 60 minutes. Where: treatment suite, David Jones. A facial here deploys the professional-strength products usually only seen in a salon. But first, to the Face Mapping. Analysing your skin by dividing it into 14 zones, the therapist zeroes in on areas that are congested, sensitive, on sebum overload, dehydrated or all of the above, to finetune a facial that zaps current spots while stopping the future breakout cycle. The pore-purging exfoliation is steamassisted, the hand massage that happens while the clearing mask is on is heaven and the advice on at-home products really is face-changing. Book in: by appointment; free with two products to the value of $150 purchased. We love: Dermalogica MediBac Sebum Clearing Masque, $70.35.
REJUVENATION SENSATION
What: Guerlain Abeille Royale treatment, 75 minutes. Where: beauty room, Myer. Sure, there’s a luxe cleanse, tone and exfoliation, but this intensive treatment is really about restructuring facial contours. The experienced therapist analyses skin under a skincare lamp, then works techniques designed by the Guerlain Institute to boost elastin and collagen and truly teach gravity who’s boss. The full suite of gold-standard Abeille Royale healing oils, creams and nectars is massaged into the face and neck all the way to decolletage – the super-tech eye and lip serums have targeted applicators to stimulate results. You’ll feel the honey plushness immediately. Ask about the insane science, if you’re that way inclined. It’s fabulous.

Kate Somerville ExfoliKate Glow, $95, from Mecca Cosmetica
@pacificfair
[ACIDS + HYDRATION] This clever thinking is why LA facialist Kate Somerville is on the A-list’s secret speed dial. Her new exfoliating moisturiser pairs resurfacing acids and enzymes with lashings of moisture – and the glow shows from day one.

SUDDENLY and boys keep it neat with a visit to one of the many barber shops
sensitive?
Blame it on office overload, pollution, hayfeverish springtime weather... reactivity is a very 2017 skin glitch. here: four new ways to get a handle on it.
Youthful cool
Treat yourself to a great colour, cut or blow dry at one of the many hair salons at Pacific Fair
SPEED DIAL: hot hair FOR THE GIRLS
Curtis Hair
Their philosophy: beautiful hair for all. Simple, and what we all want, right? The team listens and delivers the best haircuts that work. And a great blow-dry.
JustCuts
Lancôme Advanced Génifique Sensitive, $109, from Myer and David Jones
Usually coasting along nice and “normal”, then out of nowhere – bam! – itchy, tetchy or tight? Strangely uncomfortable a few weeks every year? We’ve always, un-technically, called it a “bad skin week”, but the brains trust at Lancôme call these isolated flare-ups “chrono-sensitivity” and have just come up with a very technical fix. They’ve created a new version of the mega-selling Advanced Génifique serum that spikes age-defence actives with specialised antioxidants and probiotics that cure skin reactions to changes in weather, stress, diet and hormones. Break it out when skin freaks out as a 30-day treatment. It’s like the fountain of youth just turned into a fire extinguisher.
It’s a snip at Just Cuts, with reasonably priced haircuts and trims performed by the friendly staff.
Elevate to all-natural
Michael Dib Hair Salon
Cut, colour, transform and we are ready to take on the world with a glamorous swish of our newly glossy hair.
Oscar Oscar Salons
Oscar Cullinan is a bit of a legend, and his chain of salons and staff deliver top-notch results with drop-dead, compliment-worthy gorgeousness.
Stefan Hair Fashions
A bouncy blow-dry is the best and we love the classic wash/ blow-dry and straightening-iron combo. It’s good.
FOR THE BOYS
Aussie Barber
Love a traditional barber’s chair, all that leather and porcelain. Straight razor shaving is offered on select days. C’mon, gentlemen. Unmissable.
Trilogy Very Gentle HydraMask, $37.95, from Priceline
Busy Barber
Ask for a short back and sides, or a number two, and this will be delivered with total style from this third-generation barbershop. Just try getting out of the chair.
Scrub up softer
Tommy Gun’s Originals
Total barbershop bliss. Why not pop in and get a beard wash, and then get it oiled and trimmed? Because you can.
DOUBLE DUTIFUL
Rejoice in the clever new hybrids working twice as hard and taking us half the time.
SPEND
THE DETOX
Black charcoal is a weapon for purging congestion, shrinking pores and zapping spots. Pro O 2 facials plump cells up with Philosophy The energy. This two-part rapid peel Microdelivery fuses both and the radiance is Detoxifying Oxygen off the Richter.
Peel, $85, from SEPHORA
Avène Gentle Exfoliating Gel, $44.95, from TerryWhite Chemmart, Priceline and Giant Chemist
[MICELLAR WATER + BUBBLES] SMART
Simple Water Boost Micellar Facial Gel Wash, $9.99, from Priceline
Love the gentle cleanse of a micellar water? Miss the deep action of foam yet also crave a hydration hit? This ingenious triple-tasker ticks all your demanding boxes.
Exfoliation sounding like ouch? Getting rid of dead surface cells is key to smoothing dry, flaky patches – and to helping your treatment creams or serums sink in. The trick is to make a beeline for soft beads that are cushioned by jojoba or ingredients such as niacinamide that melt dull skin away without friction. Avène’s lovely new scrub blends both in a soothing gel of thermal water from the famed healing spring in France. This is the exfoliant for faces that can’t stand exfoliant.
Mist on bliss
THE INSTACLEANSE
[CHARCOAL + OXYGEN]
Environmental irritants can be impossible to dodge, but counteracting them with chemical-free skincare is easier than ever. Be cool and feel quenched by the Sensitive regime from the pure-plant worshippers at Trilogy. Just updated with a certified natural SyriCalm complex and a lush dose of nourishing sea buckthorn and maqui berry, there’s a full regime from cleanser to eye cream, serum and rich moisturiser to boost glow while keeping the peace – permanently. We live and sleep under a layer of the dream-creamy face mask – it basically gives an angry face a cuddle and soaks all the way in (tissue off any extra if you must).
Ole Henriksen Pure Nurture Facial Water, $22, from Sephora
Don’t attempt summer, exercise, flying (or anything really) without a quick-shot cooling spritz in the handbag. A hit of soothing botanicals such as camomile and cucumber will take tightness and heat down a notch in seconds and gives stressed skin a delightful dewiness, too. We like Ole Henriksen’s new spa-style mist because, a) it’s also a sneaky antioxidant hit, and b) it doesn’t blast our make-up away.

LIFESTYLE
IN BLOOM
Bouquets of native blossoms brighten any room. Hearty and long-lasting, thanks to Australia’s harsh ecosystems, and uniquely beautiful, big proteas in bright colours and refreshingly fragrant branches of eucalyptus are must-haves for any floral arrangement.
Short Story Bath Blend in Citrus Valley, $20, from Bookface
GET THE WATER RUNNING
Now’s the time to get your soak on, so take a moment to relax and get your skin ready to be revealed after a winter under wraps. First things first: fill the bath with an infusion of salts, botanicals, oils and other goodies that will make you glow and smell perfectly perfumed.

NATURE
Keep your flowers blooming when it gets hot out with regular morning and evening refreshment. If you have window boxes full of herbs, or tomatoes growing in planters on your patio, a watering can will obviously do the trick. But buy a modern one with a sleek, minimalist look and you’ve also got an instant design piece you’ll want to keep on display long after you’ve finished.
Svenska Hem watering can, $39.95, from kikki.K
The freshness of a green garden and an abundance of nature are inspiring many of our homeware choices. we’re calling it a spring makeover.
PINEAPPLE EXPRESS
Morgan & Finch cacti quilt cover (queen), $139.95, and Morgan & Finch cactus cushion, $59.95, from Bed Bath N’ Table
It’s a staple in cocktails, a refreshing fruit snack and a well-known symbol for hospitality. Eagle-eyed guests will think you’re the host with the most if they spot one, so put a pineapple on your bookcase as a sweet decor detail and a nod to your unsurpassable partythrowing skills.
SWEET DREAMS
You spend a third of your life asleep. Wouldn’t it be a shame to spend that much time in a place you didn’t love? Pack away the winter-weight stuff and pull out the summery motifs for a bed that will have you dreaming of pool-side piña coladas.
Rio pineapple jars, $29.95 each, from Pillow Talk

DESERT BLOOM
Adairs have the best array of beautiful plants, pots and planters. We love this mini garden for its sleek minimal pot combined with the wilderness of the desert cactus. It’s the best boost for any room – well, we all need something fresh at home. Good living.
For a truly back-to-nature feel at home, we love this simple, raw, wooden bowl hewn from tree bark. It does double duty as storage (for things like fruit or keys) or as a table centrepiece that will garner admiring comments at every lunch and dinner party.
POWER
Dress a drab table with a beautiful bolt of fabric to brighten up your next dinner party. Think Ibiza chic with a pink and white tie-dye striped tablecloth, or English garden with a table runner featuring flowers pretty enough to plant.

DINING lunch is served, coco cubano
enjoy breakfast at passiontree velvet
Passiontree Velvet
It’s our go-to for incredible edibles, melt-in-the-mouth breakfasts and desserts. Honestly, if it’s something sweet you’re craving, then this is heaven. Passiontree Velvet bakes the best macarons: personal favourite is the earl grey milk chocolate, or maybe the passionfruit… or the salted peanut butter… hopeless. Our addiction just goes on.
Coco Cubano
The menu at Coco Cubano is the closest you’ll get to the flavours of heady Havana here. And with a new selection that offers everything from burritos to fajitas and quesadillas, alongside the famed pressed Cuban street sandwiches, we’ll be able to taste our way through the rest of Latin America, too. For ingredients, think plantains, tropical fruits and chorizo. Bonus if we hit happy hour for shouts of mojitos (a steal at $10) and tapas with mates.

Cowch Dessert Cocktail Bar
NUTELLA WAFFLE ICECREAM SANDWICH, COWCH DESSERT COCKTAIL BAR
Cowch is taking the humble scoop to a new level: three crazy new shakes, served in mega milk bottles. Chocoholics won’t be able to resist the ganache-lined, chunkychocolate smoothie topped with chocolate cake and crushed Tim Tams. Berry lovers will delight at the strawberry smoothie made with Cowch’s own strawberry fairy floss and pink lemon meringue pie. And those who live for caramel macchiatos won’t be able to pass on the salted-caramel option, a condensed-milk and caramel shake topped with whipped cream and a smashed salted-caramel tart.

Ice cream-sandwich fiends have an elevated option, too. Forget the Chipwich – Cowch’s Nutella waffle sandwich is two scoops of creamy Nutella ice cream crammed between two Belgian waffles, along with a scoop of Nutella spread, crushed Oreo cookies and fresh strawberries. What are you waiting for?

hokkaido baked cheese tart
What could be more Japanese than a cut of marbled A6+ wagyu beef followed by a glass of the finest Japanese whisky? Not much, but that’s what you get here. Torii specialises in artful Japanese fare that’s light on the westernised rolls and big on the surf and turf flavours (much of it of the grilled variety) loved by the locals. Finedining flourishes result in dishes such as the perennial favourite, unagi and foie gras millefeuille – grilled premium unagi, egg and pan-seared foie gras neatly stacked on Japanese soup spoons.

Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart
Motto Motto
Dairy from the island of Hokkaido is prized throughout Japan for its quality, and it’s the inspiration for this cheese-focused chain. The original bakery is in Malaysia, but the three-cheese blend in the Australian version sources local ingredients to replicate the distinct flavour and texture. What results is an irresistibly creamy, just-sweet-enough cheese filling encased by a crisp pastry shell. They draw queues wherever they’re served, and once you try one, you’ll see why.

More more! That’s what motto motto means in Japanese. And here it’s all about made-to-order rice and salad bowls, ramen (with 12-hour pork super-stock), Japanese curry and much more. The signature poke bowl is the best of the craze, with sashimi-grade salmon, Japanese pickles, sesame, seaweed, roe and yuzu dressing. And what’s more, the healthy Japanese food made from high-quality ingredients (soft-shell crab, wagyu beef) comes without the fine-dining price tag, courtesy of the team behind Brisbane’s Sono.

Rivea Italian Dining
Pacific Fair’s modern Italian offering is loved for its wood-fired pizzas and house-made pastas. Plus, the waterside seats make it the perfect spot for tucking into a plate of penne. This summer, Rivea is also rolling out two- and three-course menus ($32 and $42) to take the work out of ordering for us when we’re beat from the heat. Start off with a rocket salad, meatballs or arancini before moving on to pappardelle, porchetta or pizza. The three-course meals finish with a cool gelato sundae or palate-cleansing panna cotta. Buon appetito!

A South American hot spot that easily satisfies the local need for guac and a frosty margarita with a healthy twist. Happily, we still get all the taco, torta and arepa hits we’re looking for, just with lighter ingredients, such as coconut, quinoa and chia. Check out the summer menu additions, with delights including the comuna colada ($19) cocktail and warm taco bowl ($15). Superfood dragon fruit and coconut cream give the Comuna colada its pastel pink colour, then it’s topped up with Pampero Blanco rum, coconut liqueur and pineapple juice. It’s the perfect partner for the spicy beef taco bowl filled with black beans, quinoa, corn and pico salsa and guacamole.

Betty’s Burgers & Concrete Co
This 1950s-inspired burger shack turns out plenty of faultlessly cooked, awardwinning angus-beef patties. The burgers – how about a Betty’s Classic topped with ruffly, crunchy lettuce and special sauce? – are all highly Insta-worthy. But for a serious summer lunch, add fries and one of their famously indulgent concretes. These house-made frozencustard ice creams are churned slowly and continuously, yielding a denser, creamier texture. They make the ideal base for mix-ins – the seriously lengthy list includes honeycomb and Dello Mano classic brownie. Decisions, decisions…
