New from Make Up Intelligence by Gary Cockerill is Dual Mascara 2 (£26) which will extend and amplify as well as building and separating lashes. One end has a ball tip wand for separation, building volume and adding length to all those hard to coat lashes. The lower and inner lashes are now easy to reach. The other end has an hourglass wand that layers and lifts every lash to the max. Extending and amplifying. In glossy black with added nourishing Jojoba oil. Available from makeupintelligencegc.com.
got2b have introduced Glued 4 Brows & Edges (£4.49), an innovative multi-functional styling gel designed to style and fix edges and brows easily with a fast-drying and ultra-strong hold formula. With a versatile fibre brush this enables quick, easy, and precise application, even on the go. The raised side applies the product to brows and edges, while the flat side styles and fixes brows and edges to keep them in shape all day long. Plus, the non-sticky and transparent formula helps to protect the hair and skin from drying out.
Traditional edge control products typically come in cumbersome tubs and require fingertips or a comb for application, which can be both messy and unhygienic. This is housed in a conveniently slim tube, while the clever mascara wand/comb applicator makes styling quick and easy. The gel can be used to create an almost unlimited number of styles for edges -from adding a curl to complement braids, to creating a sweeping shape to an otherwise classic updo. Vegan, free of silicons and alcohol and dermatlogically tested. Available now from superdrug and amazon.
