Our beauty editor shares new trends of the season.

Zoom in on lightness

This summer, look for the bare skin effect in your makeup: the ultra-natural look will take centre stage. Illuminating, translucent powders will be in vogue, and subtle blush will be a must for contouring and lifting cheekbones. The clear, fresh face like the just out of the shower look will be on full display. And with a hint of playful audacity, we’ll add bright, summery makeup.

Hair care on the go

Temperatures are rising fast, and in hot weather, you want to spend as little time as possible in the bathroom, preening. Here’s the good news: this season’s top hairstyles are a happy blend of naturalness and structure. Short cuts are self-styled, and loose lengths are sexy - all you have to do is let your hair breathe freely. Wash, moisturize, and give your hair the right texture for a truly natural look... and you’re done!

The royal treatment for damaged hair!

This summer, Guerlain is bringing you a complete, new High Repair hair care ritual. This sumptuous offering is about effectiveness and desirability. Interview with Peter Gray, hairstylist to the stars and spokesperson for the Abeille Royale Hair Care line.

Q: What makes this line of hair care products so unique?

A: Well, it’s a skincare program composed of 97% natural ingredients and Blackbee Repair technology, promising superb results consistent with Guerlain’s formulatory art. The Revitalizing and Fortifying Wash, the Repairing and Plumping Detangler and the Double R Radiance and Repair Mask are all created to deliver an intensely transformative hair treatment.

Q: Our hair is under constant assault. How do Guerlain’s Abeille Royale High Repair hair care products work to ensure healthy, beautiful hair?

A: The exclusive ingredients in Guerlain’s Abeille Royale line treat the scalp and protect the hair from physical and environmental damage. Thick, lush, silky hair with radiant highlights is a powerful youthful asset, as is firm, plump facial skin. Guerlain eloquently demonstrates that beautiful, youthful hair starts with a healthy scalp.

Q: How do you explain that the hair care products in the Abeille Royale line are suitable for all hair types?

A: The magic happens because the formulas are designed to be as rich as oil and light as water. And because the nature and quantity of the ingredients used are carefully determined to achieve the best possible restorative properties.

Q: What hair care routine do we need to keep our locks healthy?

A: You must treat them delicately like a cashmere sweater... Wash gently with the Guerlain Hair Care line, then dry gently with towels or heating devices. Then massage your scalp with Guerlain’s Youth Oil for Scalp and Hair, and you’re done!

Q: What is your favourite in the line and why?

A: I’ve had fantastic results with several clients using Abeille Royale Oil Youth Scalp & Hair! Help yourself to this sweet treat without delay.

Summer

at last !

Sunscreens’ mineral and chemical components are chosen for their effectiveness in reflecting dreaded ultraviolet (UV) rays, preventing them from penetrating deep into our skin.

Today’s sunscreens are available in various formulasface, body, cream or spray, moisturizing, anti-wrinkle, broad-spectrum, waterproof, sweatproof, scented or unscented - and they can even be used as a light makeup base.

Whether you’re out for a bike ride, shopping at the local grocery store or losing yourself in a great new Canadian novel while sipping a cocktail on the terrace, the rule of thumb is to apply sunscreen at least every two hours. That’s what cancer specialists are imploring us to do, warning that nothing will age skin faster than baking too long under a hot sun!

For effective UV protection and great scents and textures this summer, choose from these!
