So, it turns out doing makeup is not like ‘riding a bike’ and you can forget how to do it. Winged liner is literally like cracking the Da Vinci code nowadays. Since ditching makeup altogether during lockdown, I’ve actually started to love the natural look. Here are some treatments to try when salons reopen if you’re planning on retiring your beauty blender for good.

1 LVL
Ah, where do we start with LVL? It’s truly a blessing. A lash lift basically perms the lash at the root (like an eyelash curler, but better). Then your lashes are tinted – dark brown or black – to make them look thicker. The results last 6 weeks too, so you won’t be reaching for your mascara any time soon.

2 Brow shape and tint
Sure, a good brow adds structure to the face (something you really notice after getting them done for the first time in ages) but you don’t need makeup for that. A tint darkens the brow hairs and makes the finer hairs around the brow more visible, giving you a thicker, fuller brow. Waxing or threading keeps them in shape. No pencil needed.

3 Oxygen facial
Your skin is probably already looking brighter from going makeup-free anyway, but a facial can never hurt. An oxygen facial involves blasting a pressurised stream of oxygen onto the skin to boost circulation. This means the skin can regenerate itself much faster which basically makes for clearer, brighter skin and more even skin tone for up to 6 days.
