The Science of Coolway

The Science of Coolway

Coolway battles this science. Spending over fours years in the lab, the company developed a one of kind styling product that uses AminoLock Mab. This interlocks proteins deep within the cuticle to set and hold your smoothing style as you dry your hair. As a result you get smooth, strong and healthier hair! Applying Coolway True Smooth is a simple procedure. You just spray Coolway on towel-dried hair and comb evenly throughout, then you blow-dry your hair to activate it and smooth your hair with a brush or comb. In addition to True Smooth, Coolway offers Shampoos, Conditioners, Boost Repair Masks, and Glow Finishing Oil. Coolway is made with non toxic ingredients and can be used on your treated hair. It will not destroy the underlying structure of your hair and you can use it in addition to other products that you might use. Coolway was the Beauty Award winner in OK! 2012 and Best of Beauty in Allure 2012. Now who said learning science was not fun?

MAC Cosmetics Uses 70s and French Inspiration for Milan Fashion Week Beauty Looks

MAC Cosmetics Uses 70s and French Inspiration for Milan Fashion Week Beauty Looks


The Just Cavalli makeup look was “inspired by Margaret Hemingway,” according to Terry Barber. Barely any foundation or lipstick was used on the face and lips, leaving all of the luxury to the eyes. They eyes took on a khaki 70s palette with dramatically placed Au Nature Cream Colour Base and Groundwork Pro Longwear Paint Pot, which were applied with precision to create an oval shape. Fingernails were left nude, while the toes were painted with Black Glow Studio Nail Lacquer “to pick up the dark sky blue in the collection,” Keri Blair said.




The drama was in the lips at the Max Mara fashion show. For this beauty look, MAC Cosmetics was inspired by “the curtain at La Scale and a French bordello,” according to Tom Pecheux. The brows were combed and the eyelashes were curled, but the eyes were left virtually untouched. The lips were painted in full with Hearts Aflame lipstick and then given a matte finish.


MAC made the skin and eyebrows glow on the Moschino runway. Each model was made to be “the Peter Lindbergh girl,” Lucia Pieroni said. The face was defined with Vanilla Pigment to create a luminous, white-hold highlight to the skin while the foundation was swept across the nose and cheeks to create a sun-kissed warmth. The brows were filled to produce a full, boy brow that framed the face. The natural shape of the eye was enhanced and highlighted with Pearl Cream Colour Base. The lips were softened and toned down with a natural lip color to finish.

MAC Cosmetics Created Sleek and Clean Looks at Milan Fashion Week: February 19

MAC Cosmetics Created Sleek and Clean Looks at Milan Fashion Week: February 19

For the Alberta Ferretti show, MAC took inspiration from “Elves in the forest or little birds, illuminated manuscripts,” according to Lloyd Simmonds. Nude was the overall theme for this look, which used Prep + Prime Transparent Finishing Powder on the face and creamy Fresh Brew Lipstick for the mouth. To emphasize their shape, Simmonds said he gilded the eyes and left them looking clean and pure. The nails were kept similarly neutral to represent “American Beauty.” To compliment the wool fabrics in the Alberta Ferretti collection, Keri Blair covered the nails in Gold Pearl Studio Lacquer.

“An L.A. girl going to a party” was seen walking the runway at the Fausto Puglisi show. Michelle Magnani said the beauty look was made to look like the model “did her makeup herself .” To minimize fuss, MAC applied Matte Bronze Bronzing Powder to sculpt and contour the cheekbones, which were then topped with Fun Ending Powder Blush for a flush of color. The eyes were framed with Blacktrack Fluidline for a classic definition of the eyes and treated with mascara on the upper lashes only to separate and define. The lips were finished with a beautiful nude lipstick.


Creating a specialized beauty look, Tom Pecheux made each model at the N°21 show look like “a young girl who doesn’t look so normal.” For a fresh blush to the cheeks, Animal Instinct Powder Blush was applied to the skin. The mouth was treated with a soft nude finish that was lightly patted into the lips. The eyes were illuminated with 3D black glitter layered over a precise liner on the upper lashline.

BRIT Award Winner Lorde chooses M·A·C for Britain’s Biggest Music Night

BRIT Award Winner Lorde chooses M·A·C for Britain’s Biggest Music Night

Rather than take away from Lorde’s signature makeup look, MAC Cosmetics’ Senior Artist Amber Dreadon played on what makes the singer unique. Dreadon started with MAC Mineralize Moisture SPF 15 Foundation to create a base, topping Lorde’s cheekbones with MAC So Sweet So Easy Cremeblend Blush. Dreadon darkened Lorde’s lips with MAC PRO Black Lipmix and MAC PRO Smoked Purple Lipstick. For the eyes, she used MAC Honey Lust & Hey Eye Shadows on the outer eyelid and added a hint of gloss with MAC Mixing Medium Shine to make them pop. The result was a lightweight and glowing look that complemented the singer’s black mosaic Tom Ford gown and standard dark, messy curls.
