EVERY YEAR I EAGERLY AWAIT the

start of the fall season because there are so many product launches happening. New colour palettes, great new scents for men and women, and innovative skincare, bodycare and haircare launches, each with their own point of difference. These new launches drive the business each fall, encouraging customers to come back into the stores to see what is new and different. This issue also features our “I Recommend” Beauty Awards starting on page 27, showcasing the products most recommended in over 30 categories by our beauty advisors. The unique thing about these awards is that they are unprompted, and not necessarily new — they are the products recommended by the BAs in our drug and department stores across the country. Check out the winners and find out why beauty advisors recommend these picks more than any others. Have a great fall selling season, enjoy the new launches and try recommending some time-tested winners, too!

Meet Your New Fall Faves WHEN IT COMES TO DISCOVERING

a new favourite product, we love a personal recommendation from someone we trust. But what if the recommendation comes from more than 100 beauty advisors across the country? These people help Canadians overcome skin problems and beauty dilemmas every day, and they are what’s so valuable about the “I Recommend” Awards. You’ve told us that new collections, especially limited editions, fly off the shelves and often result in shortages. So, we hope this package helps you to look at existing offerings in new ways and find hero products to share with your customers. And there’s plenty of #beautyinspo to add some fall freshness to your look: Joan Jett’s documentary (page 13) has us rocking out and on page 23, Chanel’s messy bun is the perfect not-too-posh do with a fancy dress (Hello, TIFF uniform). Whatever you discover, we hope it becomes something you recommend.

SURPRISING REVELATION: “Going through the results from this year’s ‘I Recommend’ survey, I found that each winner won by a large majority of the 100-plus nomination forms, making it clear that these products are truly the most recommended by our beauty advisors.”

SURPRISING REVELATION: “I had no idea Rihanna started a non-profit in honour of her grandparents (it’s where all the profits from her new Killawatt highlighter are going). Just when I thought I couldn’t love her more…”

WHAT ARE YOUR PRODUCT RECOS? “The Pixi Peel and Polish is my go-to for a fast, at-home facial that leaves my pores tight and my skin radiant!”

Tara MacInnis

“I am forever recommending Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate. The perfect base before your fave serums or oils, I love it at home and while travelling.” “I have started using a vitamin C serum from Skinceuticals, C E Ferulic, and love that it protects my skin but also boosts it from within. My complexion has become more radiant and I’ve made it part of my daily routine.”

WHAT ARE YOUR PRODUCT RECOS? “Nars Powermatte Lip Pigment is hands down the best matte liquid lipstick I’ve ever used. It’s a dream to apply, it isn’t drying and it does not budge.”

“Caudalie’s new Vinopure Skin Perfecting Mattifying Fluid. It does wonders for my oily complexion.” “My new favourite powder is Nude by Nature’s Translucent Loose Finishing Powder. I dust it overtop of my tinted sunscreen every day and it helps it stay put and leaves a shine-free finish that lasts.”

@TOMFORD

just below the Billboard charts, a new wave of female rockers are taking the stage. Singer-songwriter Amy Shark has been heating up venues with her triple-platinum single “Adore,” and last year’s SXSW breakout artist, 19-year-old Lindsey Jordan of Snail Mail, was named alongside nine other rockers on the Forbes list of “10 Women Pulling Rock ’N’ Roll into the 21st Century.” The beauty and fashion industry are following the musical lineup, with moody and electric vibes. At Marc Jacobs and Tom Ford, makeup artists amped up black liner, pushing cat-eyes to extremes, and at Saint Laurent, a mix of leather, zippers and Joan Jett-style plaid reigned supreme. Ready to rock? Paint on your best smoky eye and turn up the volume on your favourite new rock artist, or brush up on your knowledge about the badass woman who paved the way with “Bad Reputation,” a freshly released documentary about rock legend Joan Jett. — Heather Marrin

Six years in the making, the latest launch from Phyto Paris promises the seemingly impossible: Re30 is a re-pigmenting treatment, the result of partnering with French public research institutes and a specialist skin and hair hospital in Paris to find a peptide containing four specific amino acids that activate melanin and another peptide that reduces hydrogen peroxide, which builds up in the hair follicle as we age.

that the fuller the brow (like, really full), the better. Prada championed the au naturel brow, and at Gucci two became one as models rocked nothing less than a unibrow — a trend that has been gaining surprising momentum online (#unibrowmovement)! So, how do you go from zero to Frida Kahlo? It may sound obvious but “put down the tweezers,” says Jennifer MacDonald, makeup artist and national training manager from Nyx. “One small hair can make or break the shape of your brow, so it’s important to let them grow to their potential prior to tweezing or waxing into shape.” To fake it until you make it: “On a dry brow area, use a spoolie to brush the hairs upward, then a brow pencil to create small, hair-like strokes,” says MacDonald. Then repeat, but this time brush the eyebrow hairs downwards before applying your pencil strokes. For a fuller finish, “brush the eyebrow hairs back into place and rub brow powder along any sparse areas.” To hold in place, brush with eyebrow gel. Wow brows? Check. — Heather Marrin

@CHANELOFFICIAL

Clockwise from top left: Model Hailey Baldwin sports a messy top twist at the Cannes film fest. Inspired by the models themselves throwing their hair up post-show, hair stylist, Sam McKnight created a chic version of the go-to style for Chanel. Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle opts for her signature middle part and a low bun for a day of polo.

@_DUCHESS_OF_SUSSEX

best-worn-messed-up buns, especially with a party dress. Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, hasn’t shied away from pulling her hair back since her induction into the royal family, and Chanel’s glamified topknot broke the internet as fall’s must-do updo. To get it right, Roger Medina, Garnier ambassador and hair expert, says to start with clean hair: “If you try to replicate this look with next-day hair, it will look like a gym bun.” To maximize volume, “apply mousse to your roots on semi-dry hair and blow-dry upside down,” he says. Next up is texture: “On the mids and ends, lightly spray dry shampoo and brush hair upward into a tight ponytail,” he says. For styling à la Chanel, “pull the ends through the elastic creating a loopy bun before twisting and looping the elastic over the rest of your bun — essentially forming two buns joined together. Et, voila,” says Kérastase artistic director, Colin Ford. Now, where’s our prince? — Heather Marrin

OIL-BASED PRODUCTS tend to polarize people when it comes

to skincare: Those with dry skin flock to them, while oilier and sensitive skin types flee due to breakout anxiety. But over the last 10 years, brands have tweaked oil-based formulas to cater to different skincare needs. Pore-clogging mineral oils have been replaced with unique blends of essential oils, like anti-inflammatory chamomile oil perfect for treating rosacea and small-molecule jojoba oil, great for oily complexions because it sinks into the dermis rather than sitting on the surface. Ancient Romans and Egyptians understood the soothing and healing benefits of topically using oils, but skincare products featuring the miracle liquid continue to evolve. Clarins created the Lotus Face Treatment Oil with oily-skinned customers in mind in 1954, featuring lotus oil, which decongests and balances the skin. Today, oils are being combined with modern technologies to improve their efficacy. Dermatological skincare brand Jouviance features coconut oil and hyaluronic acid in its new Hydractiv Coconut Melting Balm. “Coconut oil alone will only extend its benefits to the most external layer of the skin, which produces short-term results,” says Jouviance trainer Simran Rayat. “Adding hyaluronic acid means your skin can absorb this oil much deeper for longer-lasting effects.” Similarly, French aromatic skincare line Darphin blends vetiver, French lavender, geranium and marjoram oils, which act as anti-inflammatories, in its Vetiver Aromatic Care Stress Relief Detox Oil Mask. In 10 minutes, the oils penetrate the skin and calm the senses. Time to oil up. FA L L 2 0 1 8 | C O S M E T I C S M A G . C O M

Notre rédactrice beauté partage les tendances de la nouvelle saison

<< Un changement de saison est toujours un bon prétexte pour renouveler sa garde-robe et sa trousse beauté. >>

INCONTOURNABLES OUTILS En matière de coiffure, l’heure est à la pluralité. Les outils de coiffage intelligents arrivent donc à temps pour nous permettre de réaliser de multiples looks. Parmi les plus performants, j’ai récemment découvert le curler-lisseur Meta Meta de Conair, un appareil à deux fonctions qui nous aide à obtenir, selon nos envies, en un temps et deux mouvements, des cheveux soit bouclés soit super lisses, voire style baguette. Avec le fer à lisser Évolution S, qui est doté de plaques en nano-titane, on élabore avec facilité une mise en plis lisse et brillante apte à défier l’humidité caniculaire. Enfin, le sèche-cheveux Q3 de Conair, grâce à son moteur sans balais, sèche les tignasses 70 % plus rapidement que ses concurrents. Nous voilà donc prêtes à affronter avec style vents et marées !

Couleurs d’Automne Sur les passerelles des défilés branchés, on a pu découvrir récemment les plus beaux looks mais aussi les plus belles mises en beauté. Et constater que, pour la saison automne-hiver (eh oui… déjà), les couleurs s’assombrissent et le look s’affirme. On verra donc des paupières parées de teintes bien appuyées, la touche paillette partout. Les joues, elles, conjugueront les fards pigmentés version XXL. Tandis que la bouche des belles sera satinée et brillante, pour un résultat ultra glamour. Voici les produits qui sauront sublimer nos minois juste à temps pour la rentrée !

LE TOP DU LUXE Les produits de soins les plus avant-gardistes sont issus des biotechnologies, de la recherche en génétique, sur les cellules souches… Leurs créateurs n’hésitent pas à puiser parmi les matières premières les plus riches et ils les dotent des textures le plus exquises et de la quintessence des odeurs les plus sophistiquées. C’est d’ailleurs cette approche sans compromis qui explique le prix vertigineux de ces chefsd’œuvre de la cosmétique contemporaine ! Les grandes maisons de beauté investissent ainsi dans le marché du haut de gamme depuis quelques années déjà. Ces produits, dont les formulations coûtent trois à quatre fois plus cher que celles des crèmes classiques, connaissent un essor fulgurant chez les consommatrices désireuses d’expériences où la performance rime avec le luxe. Surfant à la fine pointe des dernières techno logies et innovations en matière cosmétique, les institutions les plus réputées créent des crèmes, sérums et masques aux actifs exceptionnels. Extrait d'algues fermentées, perles micronisées et gelée d’abeilles royales, infusions d'immortelles, de roses et d'orchidées précieuses, complexe aux trois ors, extrait de caviar, collagène marin et huiles végétales rares sont soudain associés à des rituels de soins complets conçus pour sublimer l'épiderme et retarder efficacement le cruel vieillissement cutané. Cette quête perpétuelle, qui demande des années de recherche et de savoir-faire, plusieurs dépôts de brevets et des matières premières aussi précieuses que rares, permet aux maisons de cosmétiques de créer un univers où l’ultime soin, en plus d’être ultra performant, est une œuvre d’art présentée dans des flacons ou des écrins on ne pourrait plus luxueux. 1.

Regard de Biche Les cils ont un fonctionnement similaire à celui de la peau ou des cheveux. Mais contrairement à ces derniers, leur cycle de vie est plus court et n’excède pas les trois à cinq mois. Voilà une bonne raison pour en prendre bien soin et favori ser leur repousse. Globalement, les soins pour cils ont pour objectifs de stimuler la fibre de manière à la rendre plus résistante et de réparer les dommages causés par l’utilisation de recourbe-cils et l’application de mascaras, les séances de démaquillage agressives, voire le stress. Jouviance innove et lance son tout premier soin fortifiant de jour et de nuit pour cils et sourcils. Le Sérum Fortifiant Nuit contient cinq ingrédients actifs ultra performants qui agissent en synergie sur le cycle de vie des cils et des sourcils, stimulant ainsi leur repousse. Ce 2-en-1 poursuit son travail le jour avec la Base Fortifiante teintée, dont l’actif Capixyl, combiné avec la vitamine E, fortifie et épaissit les cils tout en les protégeant des radicaux

libres et des rayons UV. Filorga lance quant à elle Optim-Eyes Lashes & Brows, un soin qui agit en solide allié du regard. Ceci grâce d’abord au complexe Kera-Extend CX, une association de Biochanin A, de peptides et de microalgues biotech qui stimule la formation de la kératine, et grâce également au complexe Kera-Maintain CX, à base de peptide Biotinyl-GHK et de panthénol. Ces actifs, accompagnés du NCFT, un cocktail revitalisant de signature maison, agissent en synergie pour renforcer la gaine épithéliale des cils et des sourcils et améliorer leur ancrage dans les follicules. Résultat : cils et sourcils sont immédiatement plus épais et sublimés, même sans maquillage. Une frange de cils joliment déployée en éventail ? Oui, c’est possible ! Regard de biche garanti...

Q&R David Beckham – Fondateur de la marque House 99

Q: Pourquoi House 99 ? R: Le mot House a été choisi parce que notre but ultime était de créer une marque dédiée à une communauté masculine soucieuse d’expérimenter de nouveaux styles. Et le chiffre 99 y a été ajouté parce que ce fut une année très marquante pour moi. Ma vie a littéralement changé cette année-là : je me suis marié, le Manchester United Football Club a réussi un triplé et mon fils Brooklyn est né. Qui dit mieux ?

ASK AN EXPERT

A: Keep Calm & Start Planning!

September brings the joy of back to school, fall fash-

ion trends, new product launches, a new cycle of GWPs, galas and VIP events. How do we prepare for all this with the all-important holiday season looming on the horizon? Would you ever invite people for dinner with nowhere to sit or nothing to eat or drink? I think not! Imagine everything is planned: you have the food cooking, drinks ready, table set and the power goes off. You can probably improvise. But what if there’s a flood and the dog eats the main course? Then you really have to be creative. I’m sure you all have horror stories about disastrous dinners. My point is that our customers are our guests and when they visit us, they expect certain things: that we will be ready to welcome them, have the products and services they need and that we will be able to offer them something new and exciting. To do that we need to have plans — and backup plans! — in place. For me, the first step to being prepared is getting organized. GET READY!

What is the best thing to focus on in fall?

We all think we have plans, but now is the time to shake off the dust, update them and always have your backup plans ready. Just because you’ve used the same plan for the last 10 years doesn’t mean it still works. Be prepared for the unexpected, the bizarre and the inevitable. (Holiday shopping craziness!) IDENTIFY YOUR VIPS

Make lists so you can easily see who your VIP customers are. These are the lists that will keep your business busy and your clients loyal. Plus they save time when those holiday sets and specials arrive. KNOW YOUR REGULARS

List your frequent shoppers: The client who often pops in for one or two items and is thrilled when you remember her name and offer a sample. These are the ones you call on FA L L 2 0 1 8 | C O S M E T I C S M A G . C O M

snowy or stormy days. Know the clients to call when jumbo sizes, value items, new product launches and fall collections come in — these are the value shoppers and trendsetters. They need to feel special, so be sure to invite them to everything. Offer them a private lesson or mini facial. UPDATE YOUR FILES

Are your files current? Do you have the right phone number and email address? Many people are moving from landlines and changing internet providers — this is the time to check. These clients are your path to success!

YOUNG SURVIVOR MAKES AN IMPACT 4HER

Twenty-year-old cancer survivor Adriana Lombardo has been an ambassador for Look Good Feel Better since early 2017. For Adriana, Look Good Feel Better “hits close to home” having experienced the workshop’s positive impact firsthand during her two-year battle with leukemia. Diagnosed at only 17-years-old, she attended the session at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre shortly after her December 2014 diagnosis. “I instantly felt welcome from the moment I walked in the room,” Adriana said. "The energy was not only coming from the volunteers, but the patients, too. A room filled with strength, courage, and hope, where we could forget we had cancer for that moment and just be women - women going through an unimaginable experience.” As Adriana progressed through her treatment, she lost her hair, eyebrows and gained 60 pounds from steroids.

She lost sight of who she was. “Look Good Feel Better gave me the tools, the confidence, the support that I needed,” she said. “It allowed me to be me and feel good about myself even if I didn’t look or feel like myself.” Adriana feels it's important to give back. “Out of any of the causes or anything I participated in during treatment, this is one of the things that I deeply care about,” she said. “I want to make a difference and help the charity, so more young women know that this program is there for them.” Today, Adriana is an active member of the Committee 4HER. Formed in celebration of Look Good Feel Better’s 25th anniversary, the Committee 4HER is an exclusive group of young professionals from Toronto engaging the next generation of philanthropists to support Look Good Feel Better. Its mission is to help the charity build awareness and reach a younger demographic by creating

something special and unique for young women, by young women - and men. Together, they organize Bubbles & Brunch in support of Look Good Feel Better - a fabulous and fashionable farewell to summer bringing together nearly 300 guests. In it’s inaugural year, Bubbles & Brunch 2017 exceeded fundraising goals by raising $35,000 for Look Good Feel Better. Not only has Adriana been working closely with her peers to plan the upcoming event, but she will also take the stage to share her story with guests, alongside another survivor, a representative from the event’s premium sponsor, Rexall & Well.ca. Join Adriana and the Committee 4HER on September 16th at the exclusive Addisons Residence in downtown Toronto for Bubbles & Brunch 2018. Together we will raise glasses – and funds – for a truly important cause. To purchase tickets and find out more, visit www.lgfb4her.ca.

Move over, coconut oil — squalane is the latest fix-all to hit the market

SKINCARE BRANDS are seizing the

power of oil, a major multitasking ingredient, with head-to-toe products that boast seriously hydrating benefits. The latest hot oil on the market is squalene because of its versatility and moisturizing properties. Squalane is a modified form of squalene that’s created through hydrogenation. Squalene is a component of sebum, which occurs naturally in our skin cells. It is also found in fish oils (including shark liver oil), but more recently, brands have been using plants-based sources like rice bran, sugar cane, olives and wheat germ. You can find both in skincare products, but since squalane is less susceptible to oxidation, it’s considered more suitable for use in skincare. “There is evidence that topical application of squalane, the more shelf-stable derivative of squalene, can benefit skin,” says Dr. Rachel Nazarian of Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York City. It improves hydration and makes skin appear

smoother making it incredibly versatile — it’s found in everything from face masks to lip glosses. It’s an antioxidant that can combat damage from free radicals, which means minimizing triggers that break down collagen and elastin. It’s also non-comedogenic and naturally antibacterial, so it’s great for oilier skin types, too. It can even be used to treat seborrheic dermatitis and psoriasis, and can calm irritation in sensitive skin. You can apply squalane oil to your face and body daily since it’s so gentle, and it can also be used to hydrate your hair as a leave-in conditioner, says Nazarian. Nancy Leung, head of new product development for Biossance, which features squalane oil from sugar cane as the focus of every product in its line, also uses it to treat her tresses. “Rub a few pumps between your hands, then smooth through dry or wet locks to add shine and to tame flyaways, split ends and frizz,” she says. Pretty slick.

BEAUTY ARTIST The Look: Bold and Beautiful Why We Love It: The strong brow, soft freckles and dewy complexion are what kept us coming back to this. Not to mention that sheer wine lip colour is perfection!

Chasing the dewy glow of summer, we’re taking inspiration from veteran makeup artist Simone Otis, who is fresh from working her magic backstage at Toronto Women’s Fashion week. Having spent over 18 years alongside renowned photographers like Annie Leibovitz and creating jaw-dropping looks on fashion’s most recognized faces (including Coco Rocha) her feed’s full of daydream-worthy looks.

The Look: Colour Me Blue Why We Love It: We dig when a makeup artist uses the body as a canvas, and this is no exception. Not your everyday look, but a true work of art!

The Look: Long Live Summer Why We Love It: Is it the primer? Is it the moisturizer? Is it the highlighter? We can’t tell, but this lit-from-within look gives the perfect dewy glow to keep summer alive.

The Look: Sunset Blaze Why We Love It: The contrast between fiery red hair and a pollen-kissed yellow eye makes it easy to keep the rest of the face clean, allowing us to appreciate these beautiful, natural colours. 55
