Skin in Motion is an exercise friendly skin and makeup brand creating products you can wear while exercising.

Lift It waterproof mascara (£20) will stay perfectly in place rather than running down your face. Dermatologists recommend a clean face, for sweat to rid the skin of toxins, but Skin In Motion MUA Gia says our brand gives you the tools to cleanse properly following a work-out, if you are using gym specific products, and being diligent with cleansing, make-up in the gym is not a problem. The Clear It wipes (£16) dissolve sweat after workouts and the Cool It spray (£20) calms redness, while deeply cleansing, hydrating and calming skin. Available from skininmotion.

Working with Barry M and makeup artist Anna Lingis, TOWIE’s Pete Wicks is supporting Barry M’s Wildlife campaign which raises funds for the conservation charity, David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation. Although Pete’s not really in the market for eyeshadow (!), his social media following is largely female and it seemed a great and ‘different’ way to support the campaign, marketing the eye shadow palettes (£7.99) and to highlight the plight of the featured creatures – especially Pangolins which many people haven’t heard of.
Last week The Hair & Beauty Charity hosted its annual fundraising ball to 200 guests from across the industry and raised an impressive £9,000 on the night.

Guest hair artists included Charlie Taylor for Wella Professionals, Charles Worthington for L’Oreal Professional, Tracey Devine-Smith for ASP, and Linnaean Art Team for Goldwell, with nails provided by OPI, lashes from Salon System and makeup from professional salon brand, Delilah Cosmetics.
