Thanks to beauty bloggers, new make-up and hairstyling terms keep getting added to our beauty bible. Here’s where you savvy up

BRONDE

This is when blonde meets brunette. Move over ombre, the brunette-blonde midpoint is the hottest hair hue this season. This colour expertly mixes the rich natural tones of brunette with lighter, brighter, blonde hues. For more pointers, check out the manes of your favourite stars who are rocking the look right now. This is a perfect colour for warmer skin tones.

BLOWTOX

To make sure their carefully coiffed manes stand the test of time, women are now getting botox injections to stop their scalp from sweating. According to some beauty clinics, botox injected into the scalp prevents sweat from ruining salon treatments, especially while they workout.

BABYLIGHTS

The new somber (subtle ombre) babylights are ultra-fine, natural-looking highlights that mimic the sun-kissed, soft tones of your hair. Babylights are a great way to customise your colour into a softer grow out. The best bit: there is no type of hair that can’t rock this trend.

MERMAID MAKE-UP

This trend owes its popularity to Instagram bloggers. Here, you use shades of blue for your eye shadow. Achieve the aquatic look by playing with different powders, paints and scale stencils to create shiny scales and fins. Use greens and blues as primary colours and embellish them with glitter, jewels, pearls and faux starfish.

CLOWN CONTOURING

This requires you to paint your face like a clown to get a flawless finish. This trending technique with the hashtag #ClownContouring is no less than a form of art. It was started by beauty vlogger BellaDeLune who originally posted a video in responses to the trolls who called her a “clown” for her regular contoured make-up.
