You have to be Beautiful!

Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, 9-12 March 2012, Hall 19, Stands C55-D56 & D61

Visitors to the Quadpack stand will enjoy the convenience and satisfaction of browsing in a cosmetics packaging department store. With counters for each leading brand, as well as one for Quadpacks own house brand, the 128m2 stand is designed to allow delegates to see the latest trends in skincare and colour cosmetics packaging & gifting.

The Yonwoo counter will headline Paper Blow, an eco-friendly airless pack that conforms to the four Rs, according to the companys earth-friendly philosophy: Refill, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle. Paper Blow features an overcap and outer bottle made of recycled PCR cardboard. These are fitted around a tube-like PE pouch attached to an airless pump with a ring neck for easy filling. No secondary packaging is necessary, reducing the overall materials used. Paper Blow is refillable and offers excellent decoration options for stunning results.

The Brivaplast counter will show Artist line, a range of make-up brushes that combines the performance of professional brushes with Brivaplasts special bi-injected wiper. This patented technology ensures perfect dosage, avoids overflow and allows effortless closure after use.

The Apollo counter will see the official European unveiling of the Apollo Oil pump. The design is engineered for no leaks and no drips. It prevents leakage by uniquely using components that counter the effects of oil migration. The elongated nozzle is angled to prevent the oil from dripping. This makes the pump ideal for face serums, baby oils, hair serums, massage oils and sun protection products.

The Spirit counter will show promotional gift items that help boost the performance of beauty products. Visitors can get a preview of upcoming trends in cosmetic bags, vanity bags, tote bags, laptop cases, clutch bags and make-up brush bags.

The Quadpack counter will show Quadpacks own ranges, including its popular glass collections for nail polish, make-up and skincare products.

Branded packs on display will include Payots Intense Multivitamin Radiance Serum dropper, Boots 17 Peep Show mascara and supermodel Miranda Kerrs new KORA range, contained in Yonwoo packs.

Quadpack is effectively a high end department store for cosmetics packaging, said Quadpack CEO Tim Eaves. We offer the leading designer brands in one place, as well as our own trusted house brand and all the accessories you need to help beauty products perform. Our staff are knowledgeable, friendly and technically savvy and our offices are located near our customers in 12 countries worldwide. Our stand at Cosmoprof reflects this concept and is designed to ensure delegates have a pleasant experience during their visit.

Launching this February, bareMinerals (www.bareminerals.co.uk) unveils its first-ever global creative platform and marketing campaign. Rooted in the company’s 35-year history, ‘Be a Force of Beauty’ amplifies the core belief that beauty can change the world, both by inspiring positivity and activating women to put beauty into action.

Playing off the notion, Pretty is. Beauty does. bareMinerals celebrates and gives emphasis to the influential power of beauty as more than meets the eye. By going beyond the surface visage, bareMinerals builds upon its heritage as an unconventional beauty brand, recognizing the opportunity to give women a voice and to champion the individual stories that represent their own ‘Force of Beauty.’

“Celebrating women isn’t new for us; it’s who we are and what we do. It’s always been more than a philosophy, it’s really our DNA,” explains Leslie Blodgett, Creator of bareMinerals. “We have a responsibility to not just tell a singular story of beauty, but rather share in the collective spirit of women around the globe.”The new global platform is a natural extension to the brand and pays tribute to the millions of women that have established bareMinerals as the original community brand, that is as much about peer-to-peer community as it is about beauty products. A true testament to Leslie Blodgett’s legacy of fostering genuine personal relationships, ‘Be a Force of Beauty’ is the next evolution of the brand’s commitment to engage women in real, open and honest dialogue and will serve as a call-to-action to further ignite the conversation around beauty.

The first iteration of ‘Be a Force of Beauty’ will roll out to the UK in Spring 2012. Supported by integrated marketing efforts, the campaign creative will feature five women, each personifying a ‘Force of Beauty’ as identified during a blind casting held in late-summer. Recognising that beauty is not solely defined by a physical manifestation, the methodology behind the blind casting is meant to highlight the symbolic relationship between confidence and beauty, demonstrating that it’s the effect of confidence on the world that is the hallmark of true beauty.

bareMinerals ‘Be a Force of Beauty’ Global Brand CampaignThe global campaign will be supported by print, digital and social marketing efforts throughout Europe. The campaign creative is designed to elicit a social discussion around beauty and motivate women into action, summarised by such taglines as, “Pretty is what you are. Beauty is what you do with it.”
“We wanted ‘Be a Force of Beauty’ not only to be relevant, but also tangible for women around the world,” commented Simon Cowell, Global CMO. “We acknowledge that there is real power and potential in beauty and it’s our role to inspire women and serve as advocates to showcase the cultural impact beauty can have on humanity.”

With a large scope for interpretation, bareMinerals partnered with the photographer Rankin, to inject soul into the print campaign, and to breathe life into the ‘Be a Force of Beauty’ anthem and bring a sense of authenticity and sincerity to the campaign by capturing an honest expression of inner beauty. To uphold this mandate for authenticity, bareMinerals intentionally chose to leave in the distinguishing characteristics of each woman appearing in the creative and all signs of life that represent their experiences to further add value and integrity to the campaign.
“This level of truthfulness became critical for us as we continued to ideate on this campaign,” noted Cowell. “‘Be a Force of Beauty’ really sums up our brand anthem and pays tribute to the legacy we’ve already established and also carries us into the future as we continue to expand our global footprint.”

Popular modelling campaigners Models of Diversity are continuing their work this year to break down modelling myths and show that anyone could have what it takes to shine on screen or page. Their new collection of professional, intensive modelling courses kicks off on 28th January with a one-day introduction workshop, which teaches essential skills and techniques, as well as creating a wide selection of eye-catching, professional images which can be used to start or enhance a modelling career.

The Introduction Workshop is a day-long course which will get everyone up and running quickly and have fun along the way. Banishing nerves, the structured content is practical, fun and educational, where participants will learn posing, posture and performance for events, modelling, and looking confident in front of a camera – both on screen and off. The workshop includes catwalk and how to look good without makeup, and will include an actual test shoot, pro model help from a guest model with bags of experience, a professional photoshoot by two photographers from Lyon Photography, at least two hours of non-stop modelling and an introduction to Models of Diversity for every person. And all images taken on the day are free to download, print and use online or in a modelling portfolio for no extra charge.

Following the well acclaimed success of their recent Diversity and Plus Models campaign including the Curves in Couture Shows, supported by the British Fashion Council, Models of Diversity are keen to promote modelling as a career and pleasure choice for committed individuals, with few* restrictions on size, age, gender, ethnicity, orientation or physical ability.

Says founder Angel Sinclair, Models of Diversity (MoD) are focusing on widening their strategies this year with their new Models of Colour and Models of Disability campaigns. The organisations models are frequently booked for mainstream press and film shoots along with catwalks and promotional activities. MoD has become well -known for raising the face of diversity in the controversial modelling industry by both innovative and controversial means. Our workshops aim to teach practical skills, engender confidence and get more diverse models working in the industry.

The Introductory Modelling Workshop is just 95 and takes place from 9.30 4.30 on Saturday, 28th January at the Stratford Workshops, Burford Road, London and includes lunch, refreshments and all the best images from the day

The announcement comes as this cutting edge fashion boutique opens its second store at Sunset Mall Jumeirah. Their first store opened in Wafi Mall in 2009 creating an instant following of trendsetting fans.

We have aligned with Youngblood because their luxury cosmetics are an ideal fit with the brands we carry in our stores and because their products are suitable for all skin types said creative executive, Elena Mingas Youngblood have won numerous awards including Best Foundation (Beauty Launchpad) and Best Mineral Blush (NewBeauty) and are a favourite for makeup artists and celebrities

For ages women who have dreamed of having makeup that didn’t smudge or run without needing frequent touch-ups only had the garish looking face tattoo (aka Permanent Makeup) as an alternative. Now thanks to Micro-Art, those days are over!

Micro-Art is a semi-permanent mineral make-up procedure for the brows, lash line & lips that is only available through Naked Cosmetics. It i s applied by a licensed Micro-Artist, using non-toxic mineral pigments. The results are completely natural, nothing like the traditional tattoo or permanent make-up. The procedure only takes about an hour and lasts up to 3 years. Micro-Art uses a single acupuncture needle that gently vibrates on the outer dermal layers of the skin, therefore discomfort is minimal and there is no down time.

On the other hand permanent make-up is a tattoo that is painful and disfiguring. Heavy gauge needles are used to penetrate deep into the skin causing bleeding, bruising, scabbing, scarring and down time. Tattoo inks can be toxic; the colors are harsh and can change into orange or blue.

So what can an unhappy permanent makeup client do? There are two choices, get the tattoos removed via painful laser surgery… or better yet, get Micro-Art! “You wouldn’t believe how many permanent makeup corrections we do” says CEO Tanya York “It is so nice to be able to offer th ese women a solution to a bad choice they made in their past by choosing permanent makeup. Micro-Art can correct all areas where the client is unhappy with their permanent makeup”

Serial entrepreneur Tanya York also states: “Comparing Micro-Art to permanent makeup is like comparing a paper-airplane to a rocket… there is NO comparison! Micro-Art is a true cosmetic art procedure that looks amazingly natural, and we’re proud to finally offer an alternative to the millions of women that want to enjoy the convenience of looking amazing 24/7 with no maintenance, but didn’t want to make the life-long sacrifice of permanent makeup. Not to mention avoiding the typical ‘drag-queen clown’ look you can get stuck with using permanent makeup!”

Symrise is extending its proprietary internet search tool SymSelect by adding a platform for its Life Essentials products. This will enable customers to research Symrises cosmetic ingredients online. Detailed product information and presentations are available. Multiple search options allow users to identify the best suitable product for their needs.

In this age of web-based interactive search tools, customers expect to be able to retrieve product data anytime and anywhere. Quick and direct access to in-formation is vital. To provide its clients with such online information Symrise has developed a comprehensive database SymSelect.

At www.symselect.com, users can search for cosmetic ingredients. Information about the latest developments, product launches, current topics from the cosmetics world, and new emotive or concept presentations can also be accessed.

As an interactive tool, SymSelect offers various search possibilities. Besides the classical route of directly typing in the Symrise product or plant name re-quired, an advanced search tool allows additional search criteria such as INCI name, CAS number, or plant name to be entered, in different languages.

Two unique visual search platforms provide users with an overview of the in-gredients market. One platform concentrates on naturals with categories such as fruits, flowers, woods, etc., dividing these into sub-categories such as ber-ries, stone fruits, nuts, etc. For each of these sub-categories, SymSelect sug-gests the appropriate Symrise product. The second platform focuses on the search by marketing concept with a wide spectrum of categories such as anti-aging, sensitive skin, traditional medicines (e.g. ayurveda, TCM), targeted age groups (e.g. young and mature skin), and many more.

Additional filter criteria can be utilized to narrow down the selection. These in-clude product properties, formula aspects, registration status, geographical origin, etc. Rounding off the search engines functions are detailed product summaries and presentations and the online ordering of samples.

Our customers benefit from SymSelect in many ways, says Manfred Axterer, Global Product Director Cosmetic Ingredients and Project Manager SymSelect at Symrise. They can find a wide variety of information on our products on the internet exactly when they need it. This significantly decreases the time from request to answer. The combination of technical, visual, and marketing-driven information and the ability to select personal search criteria make our tool really special.

We have launched SymSelect to give our customers modern, fast, and inter-active access to our Life Essentials product portfolio, adds Dr. Klaus Stanzl, President Life Essentials at Symrise. We had the idea to create a tool that pro-vides our customers with broad knowledge of our products and to enable them to select products according to their needs. With this tool, we have launched a state-of-the-art and highly customer-focused means of communication.

French beauty salons Cannelle have noticed a rise in the number of their clients who come in for longer lasting treatments such as BioSculpture gel nails, semi-permanent make up and IPL hair removal before business travel ensuring preparation for all eventualities, whilst also minimising both packing and time wastage upon arrival.

Whether travelling by plane, car or train for business trips, looking good doesnt have to be wishful thinking. We are all familiar with the stress caused by travel and the usual problems such as jet lag, an uncomfortable journey and the tendency to forget at least one thing, but business travellers also have an additional pressure to look professional and ready to work shortly after arrival.

Cannelles Managing Director, France Baudet says: With less time but a need to look professionally immaculate, women business travellers in particular are searching for longer term beauty fixes. A little time investment before you leave can go a long way with first impressions vital in business. Im often asked what people should take with them for minimum stress, but much groundwork should really be done before take-off.

Baudet continues: In addition pack carefully and think about how to adapt your regular beauty routine for travel to make everything effortless. If you travel a lot, have a ready to go beauty bag set aside for business travel. Stay refreshed and glowing by simplifying your routine but do prioritize your key must-have products. Consider climate, be careful with packaging in hand luggage, prioritise moisturising and use travel to try new products in travel size.

Frances top tips for more beautiful business travel are:

1. Save yourself effort by getting your eyelashes semi-permanently dyed when youre away on business. It wont smudge like mascara, which is particularly useful for long flights if you need to meet people as you arrive.

2. In order to have beautiful, professional hands throughout your business trip – I would suggest the three week manicure which is sweeping the UK from the U.S. Chip resistant, perfectly polished nails for up to three weeks whats not to love?

3. If you are away somewhere hot, splash the cash on some decent sun cream. You need to protect your skin but avoid that greasy look budget sun creams can lead to if youre representing your business.

4. Brushing loose shimmer powder across your legs if youre wearing a skirt can really brighten up dull, tired skin which is great when youre jetlagged from your journey but need to make a good first impression.

5. Signs of tiredness are especially visible on pale skin tones. Get a gorgeous glow with Dcleor cream tan.

6. Be prepared and always carry a small touch up kit around with you. Quickly reapplying lipstick can instantly lift your look in no time and carrying some face wipes around means you can conveniently freshen up at any opportunity.

7. Think outside the bottle and replace as many products with spill-proof, mess-proof and more airport friendly equivalents. It will minimise faff time and protect your possessions from being damaged by leakages.

8. Take the time to pack to ensure you dont forget any essentials. All too often we fall into the trap of last minute packing, which almost invariably leads us to leave things at home! Have a list of necessities saved on your computer which you can refer to each time youre packing for a trip.

9. Minimise messy hair by tying a scarf around it for long haul flights. You should also make sure you take a good hairbrush in hand luggage, and pack some dry shampoo with you for emergencies!

10. Make sure you keep drinking lots of water and eating the right things. Business travel can be draining, and fruit and vegetables are important to keep energy levels high!

Pretty Not Plastered, by Emily Rose

Author Emily says: “I have written this book to teach you the art of applying perfect make-up, and to help you create the right look for you, your skin and most importantly your age. This is one of the best times of your life. You can play with your looks, wear the brightest, boldest colours, and get away with it. So enjoy!”

It is a hard world for young girls to become women in.
Surrounded by pictures of models and actresses with flawless skin, it is no wonder so many teenagers feel naked if they leave the house without a mask of heavily applied foundation.

An education in the realities of air-brushing as well as in the art of make-up application could take the pressure off girls and allow them to accentuate the freshness of their young skin while still making the most of all the fun, bright products on the market.

In her debut book, professional make-up artist, Emily Rose, aims to show all women, but particularly those trying it for the first time, the basics of makeup application and how to choose the products that will enhance rather than smother their natural qualities.

A young woman herself at only 24, Emily is keen to shatter the illusions of flawless skin created by clever digital technology in magazines and demonstrate through the full colour step by step photographs how a young woman can create an unblemished look that is suited to their age.

This book will show you how to:

* Look after your skin so that it looks healthy and beautiful.

* Apply your foundation perfectly to contour your face.

* Emphasise your eyes for a natural or a smokey evening look.

* Choose your lip colour and apply your lipstick.

* Match your make-up to your prom dress or party clothes.

* Make-up tips and must-haves for your handbag.

Young girls are not only keener than ever to learn the secrets to looking naturally gorgeous but to actually understanding good skin care. Over the last three years Cannelle reports they have seen a 54% increase in the number of teenagers visiting their salons with the majority opting for manicures, waxing and eyebrow shaping treatments.

Cannelle offers a wide range of suitable treatments including Dcleor facials for spot prone skin which use 100% pure essential oils with natural plant extracts. For teenagers Aroma Purify is great for oily skin or Aroma Radiance for duller skin.

“Recent years have seen an overwhelming pressure for young girls to ply on heavy amounts of make-up but now we are seeing more girls who are being brought to the salon by their mother’s to learn how to look after their skin and to learn how to put on make-up for a natural look. We also find this generation is far more savvy about sun exposure,” says France Baudet the owner of the renowned French beauty salon.

France continues: “The teenagers who come to our salon are made to feel as comfortable as possible and learn a lot from our experienced beauty therapists. With exam time and then end of year balls coming up we are expecting to see even more girls coming in for a treat, to reduce the effects that stress has had on their skin and to relax.”

Cannelle delivers a fusion of beauty treatments all of which are tailored to meet their clients’ special requirements. Baudet has divulged some top beauty tips for teenagers.

CANNELLE TEENAGE BEAUTY TIPS

1. Cleanse, tone AND MOISTURISE! – Even if you have oily skin! Many girls avoid moisturisers because they believe they contain oils which promote spots. In fact if you choose a moisturiser that contains ‘purifying oils’ you will reap the benefits of well-nourished skin without spot problems. I recommend Dcleor Aroma Purete for combination skin or Dcleor Hydra Floral for normal skin.

2. Make up remover wipes are handy, particularly for girls on the go! So take them on sleepovers for quick, mess-free make up removal but avoid using them for prolonged periods. Wipes do not replace a proper skin care regime…think mouth wash as an alternative to brushing teeth. Exactly, you wouldn’t!

3. Lip gloss compliments young, fresh skin perfectly. Don’t be tempted to try dark or bright red matt lipsticks…you did that when you played dressing up as mum ten years ago…you don’t want the same effect now! Vaseline has the same light reflecting instant plumping effect for even the thinnest lips so keep a travel size handy and reapply, reapply, reapply!

4. UV rays are a big no! Your generation is far more savvy about UV rays and burning. Sun exposure causes premature ageing and wrinkles can develop even in the early 20s with too much sun. Thankfully pale, pasty skin is a thing of the past for teens now the shelves are bursting with easy-to-use, skin nourishing creams and daily moisturisers containing hints of tanning colour that allow a safe, healthy glow to develop with continual use.

5. If you are particularly sensitive about the size of your nose, summer is the best time of the year for you! Trendy sunglasses and large brimmed hats look fabulous (teamed with skinny jeans and flip flops) and will dramatically reduce appearance of a larger nose. Uber stylish, uber clever!

6. Sparse lashes? Zig-zag your mascara brush! Whatever brand of mascara you choose it’s the application that gives thicker longer looking lashes. Start at the base of the lashes (brush under not over lashes) and keeping the brush in contact with lashes at all times, zig-zag from side to side as you move up the lash. This movement separates and coats each lash at the same time, for maximum coverage and instantly thicker, bolder lashes.

7. Everyone has sad skin days. The moment you notice an obvious spot, cover with a medicated concealer and re-style your hair! Our attention usually goes straight to what’s new, so all focus will be on your hair not on your blemish! Alternatively MAC, Couleur Caramel and STILA have great concealers.

Cannelle is a small collection of beauty salons delivering a fusion of beauty treatments in French style, launched as an exclusive franchise in selected areas across the UK. With over 25% of Cannelle’s clientele over the age of 50, France Baudet, owner of Cannelle Beauty salons argues there is no need for facelifts as mature women are better at looking after their skin than ever, in particular favouring full anti-ageing facials, eye treatments and eyebrow shaping. In addition there is an increase of 10% of men over the age of 50 visiting Cannelle in the last two years, but conversely they are choosing treatments such as back massages and chest waxing.

France Baudet says: “You can easily tell when a woman has looked after her skin for years but that is not to say if you are a late starter that it is too late! There are a huge number of treatments and products on the market that keeps your skin supple, healthy and glowing as a mature woman. The real tell-tale areas are of course around your eyes, neck and hands. The same goes for men although of course focused skin care is a comparatively new thing for most men.”

A favourite treatment with immediate and dramatic anti-ageing results offered at Cannelle, is the CACI Ultimate which is an effective non-surgical treatment which redefines facial contours, plumps out deep lines and wrinkles, as well as tackles a range of skin imperfections combining micro-current facial toning, crystal free microdermabrasion and LED photo rejuvenation.

France Baudet’s mature skin beauty tips are:

1. Avoid ‘setting’ makeup with too much loose powder. It will settle into fine lines and pores and is appears ageing. Instead apply a good primer before applying any makeup and your makeup will last all day without the need for loose powder. I recommend Couleur Caramel white and apricot primer creams.

2. Bright chiffon and silk scarfs are back which is good news for those of us who feel our neck and dcollet reveals a more mature age than we would like! Whether dressed for the office or casual weekend wear, a small silk scarf tied loosely at the neck is bang on trend and takes years off! 2011 spring colours are green- based with pink and blues featuring prominently.

3. As we age our eyebrows get sparser. Use a soft eyebrow pencil or carefully applied eye shadow to thicken eyebrows and frame your eyes beautifully. Always choose a colour that matches your hair colour – nothing too dark or severe.

4. Change your moisturiser regularly. As we mature our skin can take longer to hydrate and becomes immune to products if used year in year out. Each season change the moisturiser you use to adapt to the changes in weather and keep skin happy and hydrated all year round.

5. Avoid glitter and anything overtly shimmery when choosing makeup and clothes. Remember, it is not about looking younger, it is about confidence and your own beauty.

6. Use a rich hand cream with SPF all year. The skin on our hands is continually exposed to elements and reveals an age we may want to hide… invest in regular manicures also to ensure healthy nails and skin.

7. The only way to see the full benefits of beauty routine is to keep it regimented! By continually taking care of your skin, you will reap the benefits in the long run.

8. Anti-ageing creams are only effective if they suit your skin type. Rather than choosing one based on your age, choose it on what your skin needs from a cream.
