These Are The 19 Eye Makeup Looks That I’ve Bookmarked For Summer
If there’s one thing that you can guarantee about me is that I’m going to turn out makeup looks in summer. Yes, the festive season brings its sparkles but for summer I like to experiment with makeup. I think it’s because the sun peps up our skin a bit so we have a healthier natural glow– I don’t really have to worry about my base and can be more playful with the eyes and/or lips. For a summer day-to-day I’ll do a reddish pink hue wash over my eyes– I normally take the same product I’ve used on my cheeks and sweep over my lids too. But for this summer I’ve taken notes and bookmarked some of the best eye makeup looks I’ve seen on Instagram to make my summer makeup looks the most eye-catching to date.

Skincare-Infused Makeup Is the Biggest Beauty Trend and I’m Here for It
While I really do love and appreciate makeup and all of its beauty, I really don’t appreciate what it does to my skin. Just one day of wearing a full-coverage base will likely leave my face dry, upset, and plagued with breakouts. You see, while most makeup is designed to make you look your best in the short term, the skin likes to breathe, and makeup doesn’t necessarily allow for that. While a full-coverage finish was once all anyone wanted, as years have gone on, trends have moved towards a more approachable, fresh-faced look. And we’ve been championing it from the get-go because what’s not to love about natural-looking, glowy skin? The issue, however, is that the majority of us still itch for a little bit of coverage. And thus, we enter the vicious cycle of wanting to emb...
Tired Eyes? This Makeup Hack Makes You Look Wide Awake In Seconds
They say that the eyes are the windows to the soul, but they’re often the window to how much we’ve slept, too. If you have a bad night’s sleep, the eyes are usually the place that show it. Whether it’s puffy eyes, dehydration lines or dark circles, sometimes there’s just no escaping when you’ve not had enough shut-eye. And even with the best eye creams, sometimes the skin around our eyes can become inflamed with redness. However, while we were scrolling through our feeds, our thumbs paused at a post from Victoria Beckham, who reminded us of a quick yet super-effective makeup hack to instantly make you look wide awake. She was using her new Instant Brightening Waterline Pencil. “I distinctly remember the first time a makeup artist use...
7 Summer Outfits to See You Through Next Week’s Heatwave
As anyone living in the unpredictable English climate knows, dressing for spells of warm weather can be challenging. If you’ve ever asked the age old questions ‘will I need to bring a jacket?‘ and ‘is that.. rain?’ you’ll know that consistency isn’t Britain’s forte, but judging by the current forecast in the UK, the next week is looking optimistically sunny, and I am ready for it. As someone who has now had plenty of experience in strategic layering, I thought I would take some time to share my knowledge of how exactly to dress when the mercury rises (and it does involve some sensible sleeves, just in case). From clever co-ords to reliable dresses, there’s no one formula when it comes to dressing for warm weather. A...
The Only 6 Jewellery Trends That Matter This Summer
When it comes to expressing yourself through fashion, jewellery is perhaps the most poignant piece in your style repertoire. The items we chose to adorn ourselves with can tell a story—for example, I love sharing the tale of the initial necklace I always receive compliments on, which my dad gave to me on his wedding day when I was the tender age of 6. Of course, not every article of jewellery I own has such sentimental value. Still, I can say that each piece was carefully chosen and acts as a reflection of myself and how I’d like the world to see me. That said, jewellery can be timely, too—a moment captured in time and an easy way to update your look to make it feel more current. So when it came to deciphering summer 2022’s jewellery trends, I wanted to include pieces f...
The 10 Affordable Haircare Brands That Your Hair Will Thank You for Using
Here at Who What Wear, we’re all for beauty products that make you feel something special when you’re using them. Whether it be a spenny lipstick or a rich, luxurious cleansing balm, we know and understand the power of a high-end beauty product. Having said that, we do also resent certain beauty brands’ frivolous approach to pricing. Some products simply aren’t worth the money, especially when there are plenty of great affordable alternatives out there. As a general rule (that of course is subject to caveats), we like to say that you don’t need to spend the big bucks on anything that gets rinsed down the drain—most notably wet haircare products. While we know that some of our favourite haircare brands, such as Olaplex, Kérastase, ...
PSA: COS’s Sell-Out Crossbody Bag Is Finally Back in Stock for Summer
Listen up, everyone. I’ve found the perfect bag. Not only is it ideal for daily life—it fits your wallet, a mask, hand sanitiser and even a bit of makeup—but it’s also great for evenings out. Don’t believe me? Well, the good news is I’ve collected the evidence to prove how versatile and chic this bag actually is. But first, let me give you the details. It’s a leather crescent-shaped handbag with a thick strap. It’s smooth and pretty featureless, other than a couple of silver belt studs and a well-hidden zip. There’s no denying that it bears more than a resemblance to The Row‘s Banana Bag, but it comes at a much more affordable price point. So far, I’ve spotted minimalist queens Marisa Martins and Alexis Foreman wearing this bag....
This Particular Candle Scent Makes Your Home Smell So Expensive
Have you ever walked into a hotel lobby or spa that smells incredible? Chances are they are scenting the space with sandalwood. Not only is sandalwood a popular fragrance for perfume (we’re looking at you, Le Labo Santal 33) but thanks to its grounding scent, it also makes a great scent for the home, and particularly for candles and reed diffusers. So, what does sandalwood smell like? Sandalwood is an aromatic wood (and one of the most expensive) which smells warm and woody, yet has a subtle sweetness and floral scent to it. You might have smelled it already in Byredo’s Mojave Ghost and Diptyque’s Tam Dao fragrances. Its subtlety makes it a great base note to mingle with other scents, whether they be floral, citrus or creamy musk notes....
These Red-Hot Nail Trends Are Making Me Even More Excited for Summer
We’ve seen the resurgence of Y2K trends in clothing, and now, it’s time to infuse the early aughts into your fingertips. “We’re seeing a comeback of Y2K fashion—rose-coloured glasses, baggy jeans, crop tops, and raver space buns,” says Lippmann. “For nails, that means we’re bringing out the space-age nail polish with multifaceted shimmers, colour travel, and cosmic colors.” Lippmann says the best way to try the trend in nail colours is to look for shades that aren’t quite one thing. Don’t go for a true take on a colour—try one that’s in between, like a duo-chrome shimmer. You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online. So we reimagined what a dating should be. It begins with giving you back power....
I’m a Dress Girl at Heart, But These Co-Ords Have Won Me Over This Year
Next to dresses, the maxi co-ord has to be one of the most hardworking pieces in a wardrobe. It’s practical, low-maintenance, interchangeable and suitable for a whole host of occasions, from family gatherings and holidays to relaxed workwear. Maxis and co-ords dominated the S/S 22 runways, and we continued to see this style at Australia Fashion Week this May. There’s an understated charm to the two-piece maxi co-ord. Fabric-heavy styles can be broken up with cropped tops, as seen with most styles this spring. They can also be perfect for more formal dress codes too, as long as the material is opaque enough. There are lots of beautiful saturated colours and prints around this summer. Although, it has to be said that co-ords shine most through pared-back classic cuts with intricate...
Yep, I Found a Trove of Luxe-Looking Pieces From H&M, COS, and & Other Stories
As a fashion editor, I happen to do a lot of online window-shopping. I’m shopping for stories most of the time, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that I sometimes end up diverting and picking out things for myself. While updating my wardrobe this year, I’ve been eyeing a variety of luxe items. I wish I could add every designer item that catches my eye to my cart, but my wallet (and self-control) wouldn’t allow it. My recent shopping endeavors have been consisting of finding those expensive-looking items at cheaper price points. My go-to destinations? H&M, COS, and & Other Stories. While all three vary in price points, they all have a great offering in everything I want to add to my wardrobe, from classics like great blazers to of-the-moment silhouette...
8 Swimwear Trends Celebrities Are Fully Endorsing
Summer may not have officially begun just yet, but the warmer days and brighter skies have got me thinking about one thing and one thing only: the beach. However, seeing as it’s been almost three years since I stepped on one (dog-walking purposes aside), I feel a little out of practice when it comes to assembling looks to wear to the beach or, indeed, to lie by the pool in. This is precisely why I’m turning my attention to celebrities. Seeing as they live very different (read: more luxurious) lives than most, celebrities know a thing or two about dressing for their hols, so who better to seek inspiration from? It would appear the stars have aligned their annual holidays, as so many stylish celebs are soaking up the rays in some exotic destination as I type—and doing so very stylishly,...
