Jameshas over 15 years of industry experience in fashion, beauty and editorial makeup, as well as working on many famous faces from Rimmel ambassador Rita Ora to Dita Von Teese, Emma Watson and Kanye West. His looks have featured in publications including Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. James shares why the new products are so relevant for todays make up challenges as we struggle to adjust to wearing make up with a mask. 

James Molloy said, “I love working with Rimmel as their Global Makeup Ambassador – bringing the London look to life. It’s a brand most of us have grown up with and so many of their products are truly iconic.” Molloy continued, “The new products are perfect for the world we are living in right now, the Lasting Matte Foundation is a base that won’t transfer, is light, gives you that coverage you want and will stay on. The Scandal’Eyes range of mascaras has the mascara you need for every occasion but what girl doesn’t want more volume?! Scandal’Eyes Volume on Demand can help you play up big eyes – another great look for the moment as we stay safe and wear a mask.”

Its lightweight texture means there’s no uncomfortable tight feeling, no heaviness and no cakey effect. And because no one wants a shiny complexion, the clever shine-control formulation delivers sweat and humidity-proof coverage with an all-day matte finish.

According to the brand itself, a tube of No7 'The Full 360' mascara is sold every nine seconds. NINE SECONDS. There must be a pretty good reason for it's cult beauty status.

We simply had to jump on the offer once we saw Boots were handing out No7 mascara for just €14, with four slick options available; 'The Full 360', 'Lash Impact', 'Exceptional Definition' and 'Lash Extender'.

No7 mascara is specially formulated for "instantly more noticeable lashes," according to the company, and produce the product in both brown and black tones.

The curved brush grips every lash, coating from root to tip for longer-looking lashes and a wide-awake curl.

Apply three coats for best results which last up to 12 hours, so whether it's a night out with the gals on a sweaty dancefloor or a morning meeting where you want to show off, you won't have to reapply.

The patented brush is made from paddle-shaped bristles which are carefully rounded at the ends to grip onto lashes, defining and coating them in layers of formula. We like the sound of that.

Fans have long been praising No7 mascara for the way in which it grips onto lashes, yet doesn't leave any clumping. Is this some kind of beauty sorcery? What miracle is this?

Boots has to carefully stock it's 'The Full 360' mascara so that it doesn't sell out, and now we know why. 'Lash Impact' and 'Exceptional Definition' use nutrients to enrich the intensity of the coating.

The incredible offer is only from July 3 until July 30, so get yourselves down to Boots ASAP before it expires and you're the only one without these perfect products. Bat them lashes to the MAX ladies.

Getting a decent mascara is one of those annoying problems that everyone deals with.

Mascara is so important because it completes a look, it opens the eyes and well, it's pretty much always top of the list when it comes to desert island beauty staples.

So when a mascara comes along that is also a bargain, we fall completely in love. 

That's where Primark's latest collection of fab mascaras come in.

Eagle-eyed beauty lovers copped that their wands and brushes looked exactly like the Better than Sex by Too Faced ones.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Primark Beauty (@primark.beauty) on

They will set you back 23 quid while the Primark ones are three euros.

So, a dupe at a fraction of the price sounds great but is the Primark version any good?

First up, the line of mascaras includes Aqua Lash, Fake It, Dramatic Lash, False Lash, and 3D Lash.

We tried Fake It and were pleasantly surprised by it.

All we want from mascaras is that it's not too clumpy and that we don't have to reapply it regularly.

Fake It was applied in the morning while getting ready for work.

The brush is small and coats the eyelashes with enough product that makes it look like they've just been tinted. 

If you're the kind of person that wants a fuller lash-look, this one isn't for you – it had to be applied several times before there was a thick enough layer on the lash.

Once it was applied though, it only needed to be topped up after a few hours. 

For the price tag and the similarity to Better than Sex by Too Faced, it's definitely worth it.

Makeup can give you that special finishing touch for any prom look, so you can stand out from the crowd. Whether you are going for a low-key or high-fashion look, you want to make sure your makeup is done to perfection.

Although it would be lovely to have a professional come and do your makeup for the big night, this is not an affordable luxury for most people. We've got a few quick tips and tricks to help you take charge and get prom ready in no time, no stress.

Dress to Impress

You've probably spent a lot of time finding your dream prom dress, so it's important to centre your makeup look on it. Your makeup and dress should always compliment one another, rather than compete for attention.

For example, if you were wearing prom dresses in bright colours with embellishments such as this gorgeous number from JJ's House, a complimentary makeup look would be matching red lipstick with light eye makeup.

A heavily made-up eye area would be too busy for this style of dress and completely overdo your overall look.

If you're wearing a plainer style of dress like this JJ's House velvet gown, you can combine sultry, smoky eyes with your red lipstick as it's a makeup look that compliments the material and these styles of prom dresses.

Mirrored Magnificence

It might not usually be a good idea to copy other people's work or ideas, but when it comes to makeup looks, it's practically a recommendation!

We often see celebrities or models made up in a way that we think will suit us too – prom can be the perfect place to try it out!

The key to making this look work can be summed up in one word: practice! If you leave it until prom day to try it out, chances are it will be a complete disaster – it might look like a mess or just not look as good as you thought it would.

Prom night is not the time to work this out.

If you want to mirror the look of your favourite celebrity, practice and preparation are the best ways for you to get there.

Testing 1, 2, 3

One of the biggest things most people forget to do is make sure their makeup looks good in pictures. This is something that again is best to practice and prepare before the big night.

Flash photography can wash out your skin and makeup, and can make you look pasty and startled! You would be shocked to know what the biggest culprit for this is: moisturiser – or more specifically, moisturiser with sunscreen in it.

The sunscreen reflects the flash, completely washes out your face and mismatches the tone from your body.

Make sure you plan ahead and check to make sure the face cream or foundation you use on prom night does not include sunscreen. If it's only a small amount, you can try and take photos to test how reflective it might be.

Daphne Self is proving that age is just a number after she landed a role as the face of a new beauty campaign, aged 89.

The British-born fashionista has been dubbed 'the world's oldest supermodel' thanks to her latest deal with cosmetics company, Eyeko.

She appears in a video campaign for the brand's new Bespoke Mascara range, during which she speaks fondly about her modelling career as well as her love of makeup and beauty products.

Daphne began her modelling her career when she was just 20-years-old, before being 'rediscovered' when she turned 70 when she featured in the pages Vogue for an article on ageing.

While demonstrating the new mascara, the model admitted that she loves having long and thick eyelashes before giving a cheeky wink directly to camera.

According to The Independent, Eyeko chose Daphne for the Bespoke campaign, alongside other younger models, because the campaign aims to show that “no one size fits all.”

Speaking about the new range, the founder of Eyeko, Nina Leykind, said: “Our fans are discerning and smart and no longer accept the norm and we want to celebrate the individual.”

"For Eyeko it's about fulfilling our mascara mission and delivering on our promise to create the perfect mascara for everyone."

"I'm thrilled that we can now offer our fans a mascara that really is as game-changing as we promise!"

The Bespoke range has 100 unique combinations allowing users to create their perfect mascara in three easy steps.

When it comes into the summer season, we feel like we need a complete overhaul of our make-up bags.

Our usual foundation and contour palette is now too heavy, our mascara has gone clumpy, and our fave lipsticks are now at the bottom of their barrels.

We want to look super fresh and dewy every dayum day, OK?

Thankfully, there is a new high summer makeup collection on the shelves to make us feel like we have an Instagram Story filter on us at all times.

When it comes to contouring, we want something handy to pop in our handbags, and wet n wild®'s new contour compact is exactly what the doctor ordered.

This summer is absolutely jam-packed with festivals, and we're predicting that a handy little compact like this will fit perfectly in our festival handbags. 

The complementary contouring powders define your bone structure and highlights your best features, without making you looked caked, so it's pretty much a win win. 

We all know that mascara is the key to a perfectly defined eye makeup look, but we're not down with breaking the bank when it comes to experimenting with eye products. 

Keeping with wet n wild®'s new high summer collection, we're pretty intrigued by their new Cat Eye mascara.

The fan brush is tapered to avoid clumps, but promises to add a dramatic edge to any look. The non-stick formula ensures that lashes stay separate, as well as helping to strengthen your lashes.

We know we've already mentioned festival makeup, but chipped nails at a three-day music haven with no access to your nail technician is a beauty blunder we'd rather avoid. 

The wet n wild® Wondergel nail polish promises to last up to two weeks, so it's perfect if you have a few events on at the same time over the summer months.

When it comes to shades, the selection doesn't disappoint either. (We have our colour on for the past week, and there's not a chip in sight, FYI.)

Some days, we're ALL for leaving our face bare and just heading out with a touch of lipstick on to add a little flush of colour to a pared-back look. 

Thankfully, another of wet n wild®'s high summer products are helping us maintain or summer makeup goals with their curated selection of Mega Last lip colours.

The semi-matte finish is super soft on the lips, and its new polymer complex means your smackers will stay super soft and hydrated.

The colours are gorgeous too, with everything from a light coral hue to deep purple. 

Whether you're hitting the town, or hitting the beach, or heading to any of the Irish festivals, affordable makeup is always a winner.

Stashing a few of these bits in your bag to top up your fresh summer look is a complete no-brainer.

Say goodbye to your classic black mascara, and swap it out for some delicious metallics. 

That's right ladies, gilded mascara is slowly (but surely) becoming one of the hottest trends this year, and it's FAB. 

The look can be achieved using gold coloured mascara, or gold glitter eyeshadow patted over classic black mascara.

For most women applying mascara is a no brainer – find one you like, give your lashes a few quick swipes and off you go.  But apparently this process should be a lot more labour intensive than you’d think.

According to Allure, using just a couple of layers of mascara applies nowhere near enough product to achieve the volumising and lengthening effects you’ve been promised.

Makeup artist Amy Nadine claims it takes exactly 30 strokes per eye to get lashes on fleek and the technique used to apply the mascara shouldn’t exactly be haphazard either.

Amy told Allure the stokes should not be long and precise and that instead you should use “quick brisk strokes” when putting on this product.

Given that she’s recommending 60 strokes per day, they’d want to be pretty brisk indeed.

Whether or not you’re a fan of the Kardashians you have to admit the girls do know a thing or two about makeup.

So it’s super exciting to hear that Khloe’s a fan of Maybelline’s super affordable Volum’ Express The Falsies Mascara in the shade Extra Black.

According to Marie Claire, the reality star revealed on her app: "When it comes to mascara, more $$$ doesn't always mean more volume or length” before claiming that celebrity makeup artist Joyce Bonelli “beats” her lashes with the drugstore product.

Since the mascara retails at just €11.99 and is available in Boots stores and online, could you really go wrong?

If you love having long eye lashes but HATE having to apply falsies, then this is the hack for you.

Beauty vlogger, Huda Kattan took to Youtube to show her followers how to achieve super long lashes in just a minute.

All you need is some cotton wool, a spoolie (which you can find at the end of some eye liners) and your usual mascara.

After you apply a first coat of mascara, Huda tells you to then cover your spoolie with cotton wool, and transfer onto your lashes.

Do this a few times are the results are amazeee. She'll even show you at the end the difference between just mascara and cotton-lined mascara.

Now, go fourth and make those lashes rock.

There seems to be a certain feeling of joy when you get your hands on a new lipstick or that mascara that makes your lashes look killer.

And to be honest, we don't really want to throw away our make-up until we scrape every last little bit out. Right?

Wrong. We should, because the truth is that everything we put on our face must be clean and fresh or else some nasty germs could clog up your beautiful complexion. UGH.

And if you haven't a clueee when you need to throw your make-up out, no worries. Grazia spoke to Bobbi Brown pro make-up artist Hannah Martin and she gave us all the inside scoop to when we need to clear out our make-up bags.

Once you open a product, liquid and cream based make-up "are best used within a year and powder products within two years."

But Hannah said to watch yourself with mascara as it's "one of the exceptions and really is at its best for the first two months and should be replaced after three months."

As a general rule, "longwear shadows and liners are also at their best for the first six months but powder products "such as face powder, bronzer, blush and eye shadow will last longer that liquid products," so they're good for a couple of years (if they last that long). 

The most important thing is to read the guidelines on the products and do regular clean-outs of your make-up bag and make-up brushes. You'll be sorted in no time!
