May 18, 2020 at 06:30AM Usually, I have to undergo several weeks of preparation before I can muster up the mental courage to embark on a foundation shopping trip. The first step is furiously scrubbing off the residual makeup that’s caked on the empty bottle of my foundation to try and decipher the shade name. It’s usually something arbitrary and food-related like cocoa or mocha, but that’s a conversation for another day. Then I make a hit list and map out the brands that I know have more than 10 shades in their range (or at least one that they deem appropriate for darker skin tones). When I finally make it into the shop, I’m already weary by the time I decide which foundations to swatch. Then I find it: a seemingly good match. Well, it’s a good match until I take it home and head out into the sun and realise my face has oxidised into a shade of brick red. While foundation is actually one of my favourite makeup products, shopping for one is not my favourite activity. When you find a game-changing foundation, it can really transform the way the rest of your makeup looks, so I decided to save you some trouble and test them all out. I tried out all the foundations on the market that claim to be best for darker skin tones, making sure to bookmark which ones live up to the hype for your (and my future) ease. As my astrology chart will attest, I take

This Is How to Safely Whiten Your Teeth at Home, According to the Experts
May 18, 2020 at 06:30AM I’m not sure about you, but the first thing I’m doing when life is a little bit back to normal is booking an appointment with my dentist. Forget manicures and haircuts. When it comes to my appearance, it’s my teeth that have been hardest hit by this whole thing. The luxury of being able to pop to the dentist when you’re experiencing a twinge of pain or calling up the hygienist when things start looking a little discoloured has been sadly torn away from us, and I’m struggling. Let me get one thing straight: I hate going to the dentist. Like, way more than your average person hates it. Despite ongoing sensitivity issues and a molar that is a little worse for wear, I have put off booking an appointment for months. But now that the option of being able to book has been taken away from me? I’ve never been more desperate to be in that dentist’s chair. You see, over the last couple of months, not only have my aforementioned dental issues worsened a little, but the appearance of my teeth as a whole has plummeted. Whether it’s because of the amount of tea I have been stress-drinking or just because it’s been a while since my last appointment, my previously pearly whites have descended into a state of yellow-tinged dismay. And I’m desperate to do something about it. Wary that my teeth probably aren’t in a particularly strong state right now, I’m cautious that I
5 Loungewear Outfit Ideas I’ve Fallen for This Summer
May 18, 2020 at 06:00AM Is it just me, or does anyone else feel like they physically won’t be able to return to jeans once we come out of lockdown? Don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I’ve been schlepping around in pyjamas 24/7, but even when I put on a nice blouse, I’ve been pairing it with waist-friendly joggers or knitted trousers. When I wrestled on my favourite jeans last weekend, it felt like I was walking around in a wetsuit. Anyway, I digress. My point is that many of us are finally settling into the joys of loungewear, however that translates into your wardrobe or personal style. And now that summer’s ’round the corner, here at Who What Wear, we’ve been keeping an eye out for outfits that will make us feel comfy, cool and just a little bit polished when the mercury rises. Luckily, there’s plenty of inspiration out there. From tailored shorts and comfy co-ords to cool linen separates and loose dresses, scroll down to shop my favourite summer-ready loungewear looks. PS: I have included one pair of jeans, but that’s only for when you really want to push the boat out.

Everyone We Know Owns a Pair of These Cult Sneakers
May 18, 2020 at 05:00AM When Emma Watson and Meghan Markle wore a pair of trainers by the conscious French brand Veja, it quickly became one of the most talked-about sneaker brands in the UK. The classic white basket sneaks (made from recycled plastic bottles and wild rubber) feature the distinctive V logo in varying colours on each side. Emma Watson first wore the trainers back in October 2016, but it wasn’t until 18 months later that the seemingly simple lace-ups started gaining such widespread popularity. Much like other classic trainers (think Converse and Vans), these are rapidly becoming a staple for when you need a comfortable yet stylish pair of shoes. Plus, these sneakers are so minimalist in design that they work with every type of ensemble—from midi dresses to straight-leg jeans. The Veja V-10 leather trainers arrived on Net-a-Porter in early 2017 and became the second and third best-selling pieces globally (only beaten out by a Gucci T-shirt) the same week they launched. Now I spot these trainers constantly on Instagram, as they seem to have become the most popular sneakers to own. While I was out for my daily walk last week, I saw four separate women wearing the red, white and blue pair. And if that’s not enough to make you want a pair, then you might change your mind after scrolling our edit of the best Veja trainers. Plus, there’s even a guide to how fashion girls are wearing theirs for outfit inspiration. Style Notes: Tine Andrea cleverly uses her

Struggling to Manage Your Roots? These Cover-Up Products Should Do the Trick
May 17, 2020 at 03:30PM Whether you’re battling with greys or your natural brunette strands are wreaking havoc with your blonde, a huge number of us are about to embark on a tumultuous journey with our roots. And if box dye just isn’t an option (it should always be a last resort), finding different ways to disguise a dodgy root situation can often prove tricky. From experimenting with interesting up-dos to smothering dark streaks with talc, at some point in our lives, we have all gone to extreme lengths in a bid to blend hair regrowth. But what if I told you it didn’t have to be so hard? In fact, temporarily covering up your roots at home couldn’t be easier. Without dyes, bleach or even toner, root concealers and cover-ups provide the ultimate quick fix. By dispersing powdered pigment (either with a spray product or with a brush) through affected areas, you can minimise the appearance of bold, contrasting roots in a matter of seconds. And, while I by no means promise they will sort the problem completely, they certainly do a stand-up job at blending roots and minimising their appearance. Sound like something you could benefit from right now? Keep scrolling for the best root concealers out there… Dab the sponge over dark roots to blend with your blonde hair colour. Use the brush to cover peekaboo greys and blonde strands. This clever powder is great if you want to create the illusion of a thicker hairline. Hairstylist
