Most people wear eye make-up as a way to enhance their natural facial features – but not this artist. 

Israeli make-up artist, Tal Peleg, elevates her make-up to a mind-blowing art form. 

The 29-year-old creates astounding miniature portraits in the space between her brow and eyelid, and then shares these works of art with her hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. 

She also captions the pictures with details of the inspiration behind the piece. 

All we're wondering is how we never found her sooner!

With every new season, comes a new routine – well, at least a new make up routine. 

While some people may be looking forward to pumpkin-spice everything and Halloween, we're looking forward to the change-up of make-up. 

We look at the best and easiest trends to don this season – starting NOW!

Berry lips

A rich, velvety plum lip is a huge trend for autumn. But if you want to ease your way in to a full-on dark pout (because we literally just stopped wearing pastel pink) then a berry lip stain should do the job – but shades from neutral cherries to slightly darker bordeaux-stained lips are here to stay. 

 

Metallic eyeshadow

Now we're not talking about blue or pink shades; but metallic earthy tones are going to be a major trend. From Prada to Stella McCartney, metallic eyeshadow made a huge comeback on the runway this season. Warm bronze was a favourite as it flattered almost any skin, hair and eye colour. 

 

Dewy Skin

It's all about flawless, demi-matte skin with precise radiance on the high plains of the face. Fresh and translucent skin was very prominent on the runways – it's all about healthy complexions with a luminous glow. 

 

Graphic eyeliner

Graphic eyeliner, sometimes drawn into the crease as well as applied into the lash line is a big trend for autumn. Team with a simple pink lip for the ultimate statement. 

 

And as for hair…

Half top knots and top knots are not going away anytime soon! Other big trends include low, long ponytails, dramatic side-partings and beachy un-done hair.

While we have all been obsessing over smoky eye tutorials and spending silly amounts of time attempting to ensure absolute symmetry when it comes to our winged eyeliner; other makeup aficionados have been going down a different route.

Instead of dedicating their beauty routines to dark liner and  the same four shades of beige to dark brown shadows, more beauty bloggers are creating more unique looks and we love it. We already discovered that blue eyeshadow is making a bit of a comeback so we might as well embrace it and branch out.

Go for all gold everything:

Try a lighter take on the ‘smoky eye’

If you can’t part with the precious cat eye, add a second colour for some variety:

Embrace all of the pastels:

Or maybe spend less time on the eye makeup and go for a bold ruby lip instead:

Sometimes when your brows are on point, you don’t need any other make up:

But then there’s also this two-tone look that we are very intrigued by:

Or you can just go for it entirely and blow everyone’s mind, werk:

Anyone who has a long commute to work will know that it often feels like 'dead time.'

Unless you have a good book, or some pre-work prep to occupy you, there's not a lot else to keep you amused on that bus, train or even car journey.

So it doesn't seem totally unreasonable to us that you might decide to do your make-up during that time, thereby giving yourself more time in bed and less time bored on the bus.

But now one expert is urging women to stop doing their make-up on the go, saying it could pose a very real health risk.

"The modern-day phenomenon of applying make-up on the journey to work undoubtedly increases the risk of scratching your cornea," explained Dr Susan Blakeney of the UK College of Optometrists.

Any sudden jolt on the bus or train could result in any number of minor injuries from mascara wands, eyeshadow applicators or even tweezers, she says.

Plus, there's also the added risk of getting an eye infection from applying make-up with unclean hands. "The human eye is pretty resilient, but poor hygiene can lead to unpleasant infections."

That's us told.

When it comes to defining the eternal allure of old Hollywood glamour, no woman has made more of an impact than Marilyn Monroe.

As proof, look no further than Lifetime’s The Secret Life of Marilyn Monroe, which has been nominated for three Emmys—including, of course, best hair and makeup. 

We break down the iconic actresses own words, to give you all the captivating secrets behind the star's beauty.

“Despite its great vogue in California, I don’t think suntanned skin is any more attractive . . . or any healthier, for that matter. I’m personally opposed to a deep tan because I like to feel blonde all over."

 

“In Hollywood, a girl’s virtue is much less important than her hairdo.”

 

“You know, they ask me questions. Just an example: What do I wear to bed? . . . So I said, ‘Chanel No. 5,’ because it’s the truth!”

 

“I don’t count rhythmically like the exercise people on the radio; I couldn’t stand exercise if I had to feel regimented about it.”

We all know the feeling; for whatever reason you've been kept awake at night, come the next morning you are met with red, tired and puffy eyes. 

You really can't hid it, even with your biggest effort using the best concealer.

Just look how tired Kendall looks here before the show!

But backstage at Vera Wang, make-up artist Lucia Pieroni reached for a rather optimistic shade of yellow shadow which she promises will give tired eyes an instant lift.

Speaking to Elle, Lucia said: "You can hardly see it, but you can [notice the difference]. Dusted all over the lids and into the inner corners, the hue makes exhausted models appear instantly wide awake."

You can add any colour you like over the top of your lids but the light from a yellow-toned shimmer shade will detract from those dreaded dark circles. 

Lucia used Clé de Peau eyeshadow, which unfortunately is not available in Ireland, but we found a great Inglot replica of the subtle shade. 

And if you want a look that is catwalk-worthy, quickly clamp your lashes with a curler and apply a slick coat of mascara.

Brush your brows up and apply a peach lipstick to your lips AND your cheeks for that fresh-from-an-eary-morning-run flush. 

Nobody will know you just rolled out of bed!

When it comes to DIY beauty, it can turn out well… or it can turn out really, really bad. 

It takes you outside your comfort zone, and as that can be very scary, it can also be where the magic happens. 

We've discovered you can use pretty much any household item to create a beauty masterpiece and many of the pros do too!

Popsugar spoke to the make-up masters at New York Fashion Week to find out the best uses for all the stuff you find in your home. 

But would you be brave enough? 

 

Washing-up liquid

Bok Hee, lead hair stylist at the Tracey Reese show admitted that she has washing-up liquid on hand during fashion week. "Sometimes the models' hair can be very oily when coming from another show.

"That can get tricky when the model has to have squeaky clean strands for the next runway! It cuts right through the oil."

 

Paint rollers

We know they're made for painting your walls, but they just as easily paint your body! Val Garland, lead make-up artist for MAC and Herve Leger, keeps them handy at show time. You can use them as a much easier and quicker way to apply tan all over your body. 

 

Dental floss

We know this sounds like a strange one! But Tom Pecheux is famous for using it as a make-up tool during fashion shows and photo shoots.

You can use it to line your lips or to apply liquid eye liner. Just dab your liner onto the floss, and press it up to where you want your flick to go. Hey presto, straight eye liner!

 

Mascara wands

Yes, they might come in handy for your mascara (obvs), but it can also be used to make really cool nail art.

Jin Soon Choi, lead nail artist at Derek Lam, uses them religiously, "I apply lacquer to the wand and stamp it on the nail," she explained. "Sometimes I'll bend the wand first to get a more irregular shape." 

 

Needle and thread

Sewing isn't restricted to clothing: Anthony Cole, for Sebastain Hair, explains that he often uses it if he's creating an updo. 

"If I am doing an updo, I will take all of the hair and pull it back in a rubber band. Then I use the needle and thread to make Xs through it, and pull pieces out to create shapes." 

 

Duct tape

Duct tape is typically used to seal up leaks and cracks around the house, but it can surprisingly be used in make-up too.

Polly Osmond, MAC make-up artist uses it on the eyes. "It’s like latex and makes really nice eyeliner," she shared.

Get ready for this ladies!

Our dreams have finally come true as style superstar Olivia Palermo is coming to Dublin. Yippee!

The fashion icon is set to hit Brown Thomas as she launches the highly anticipated Olivia Palermo X Ciaté London Make Up collection. 

Customers will be in with a chance to meet the former reality star on the 26 September in Brown Thomas Dublin. 

Anyone who makes an Olivia Palermo X Ciaté London purchase between 21 – 26 September in store or on the Brown Thomas website will have the amazing opportunity to join Olivia for an exclusive meet-and-greet. 

Excited yet?! Yep, so are we…

Customers will receive a special wristband that will grant access to the meet-up, meaning you'll hopefully get a photo with Olivia, as well as having your product signed. 

As guest creative director of the brand, Olivia has certainly put her elegant spin on things.

She recently expanded the collection from nail polish to include makeup that reflects the star's own unique style. 

The new collection of cosmetics, housed in luxurious black and gold packaging, includes four Satin Kiss lipsticks, a smoky eye palette in nine of Olivia's favourite shades, two gel kohl eyeliners with blending tips and Cheekbone Cheat blush/bronzer compacts designed to contour and add warmth. 

We like the sound of that!

Olivia said, "When developing the collection I wanted to create a variety of textures and shades in the same way I love to mix patterns, fabrics and accessories to style the perfect outfit.

"Many of the names were chosen to represent not only the hue but the unique textures specially developed for this collection. Others are electric touches from my own life and style – I can't wait for you to play and discover the products I had so much fun creating."

Believe us Olivia, we can't wait either.

There are a lot of beauty products on the market right now. For nearly every single skin type there’s a whole new range every week. It can be kind of intimidating trying to figure out what will work best for you. So often we get stuck in the same routine, or just using our go-to products every day.

However, without even realising our mistakes, our failsafe methods could actually be doing more damage than we realise. It might be time to break some of your old habits and start fresh, here’s how you can:

Stop using dirty brushes:

Your skin will be less likely to break out and your products will go on smoother with a fabulous finish, you can use mild soap and water. 

Take your make-up off before bed:

Keep your pillowcases clean and stop bacteria building up on your skin. If you're feeling especially lazy at night, try and keep at least a packet of make up wipes beside your bed. 

Are you over-exfoliating?

Exfoliating can reveal softer and healthier-looking skin, but over scrubbing can do damage you do not want. Look for a light, silky moisturizer to use overnight to help refresh your skin if you think you may have overdone it.  

Did you forget your SPF this morning?

This is one habit that is essential for good skin health. Without it your skin can be more susceptible to sunspots, wrinkles and in serious cases skin cancers. Try and find a moisturiser or a foundation that has a measure of SPF to ensure that your protected everyday, even if you don't think it's hot enough, your skin still needs protecting.

How do you use eyeliner?

Whether you're keen to give tightlining a go, or if your preferred method of lining your eyes means your going close to the rim of your eyes, then be careful. If the tip of the pencil is sharp or full of fragments then you could be looking at a potential eye infection. Avoid this by ensuring the pencil is always clean and slightly rounded.

Oh, boy.

When it comes the average Irish man, he isn't the best with grooming or beauty. We doubt most even know the difference between contouring and baking (and no lads, we don't mean baking a cake).

But this very brave Irish woman allowed her boyfriend to do her make up one day – and the outcome is HILARIOUS.

Roisin, a fashion vlogger from Glaway, made a video of the event and it really is a must-see. She gave Dave, her boyfriend, no help at all so the whole look was really all up to him.

Would you be brave enough?

The sun is fading fast and the temperature is dropping (sigh), but there is still a way to cling onto the summer with the right beauty buys. 

A bright lip, golden tan and sun-kissed freckles will make you feel as if you're in sunny Spain – even if you're in the damp and dreary hills of Ireland. 

So if you want to re-live summer, check out the make-up essentials that will brighten up your day.

Lipstick

Never under-estimate the power of a bold lip. If you want a post-summer glow, embrace a bright lip colour that you normally wouldn't try. Stand out in shades of pink, orange or red to really make a statement. 

 

White nails

If you still have a tan from your summer holidays, dare to try the white marble nail trend. It will perfectly compliment your sun-kissed glow… even if it's fake. 

 

Turquoise

If you really want to stand out from the dull crowd, opt for a turquoise liner on your eyelids. This is the ultimate beauty-buy to remind yourself – and everyone else – of the blue skies and seas of summer. 

 

Golden glow

For the best golden glow, go for a duo palette, like this one from Nars, where you can choose what tonal colours you want. Use the darker colour in places that the sun would hit like the nose, chin and cheeks and then save the lighter colour to run along your cheekbones.

You'd swear you only came back from holidays yesterday.

Don’t we all at some point dream about having long, voluminous lashes without even trying? A life free from mascara wands and false lash glue sounds pretty appealing.

Unless you were one of the lucky people born with fabulous lashes, then chances are you may have considered faking your way to luscious lashes at one point or another.

However, some experts say that you can achieve great lashes without using falsies. No more sticky glue in tiny impractical tubes? Sounds good to us!

Consider a supplement

Not just for your lashes but healthy hair in general. Plenty of people are known to take a supplement that contains biotin to help promote healthy hair growth, this includes helping your lashes grow stronger.

Eat the right food

According to one expert apple cider vinegar is also known to increase hair growth when ingested, not when applied topically! Spinach, pineapples, cranberries and cauliflower all offer some of the same benefits too.

Consider some oils

Lavender essential oil is said to increase hair growth and strengthen follicles but you warned that as with applying anything to skin near the eyes to be extremely careful.

Try a strengthening treatment

If all else fails, there are serums and conditioning gels that are made with the purpose of helping your lashes to grow stronger and appear fuller over time.
