Back To Plait

Whether it's au natural or with the hidden help of a handful of extensions, a single Rapunzel style plait is a chic alternative to a high-pony.

Wings Of Desire

A nude glossy pout and black graphic eyeliner might be the antidote to sequins, but it doesn't mean it's not scene-stealing! Diana Ross' angled brows and bold liner with the heavily mascaraed lashes leaves us breathless.
