There's no better pastime than testing out the coolest new skincare/makeup/hair trends and snazzy innovations in beauty tech from the comfort of your own home. That said, there's nothing more frustrating than spending upwards of £100 on a new at-home facial system or snazzy pair of hair straighteners, only to find out they don't *actually* work.
Enter: GLAMOUR Tries, the weekly Instagram series which sees GLAMOUR editors do all of the time-consuming (and expensive) work for you.
Yep, we've been busy trying out all of the wacky and wonderful beauty crazes to take the internet (read: TikTok) by storm – from the YSL lipstick printer to Il Makiage's iconic foundation and even the viral Hair Bedazzler tool from Amazon. These are the products every influencer/Gen-Z beauty sleuth/beauty editor is talking about on the internet – but that you want to be sure about before parting with your money.
Thanks to GLAMOUR Tries, you won't need to waste your hard-earned pennies on testing these innovations yourself. We're getting in their first, giving you the lowdown and making sure you invest in products that genuinely work.
Perfect curls have entered the chat.
And this week, Commerce Editor Sophie Cockett is trying the latest eyeshadow hack where you use your eyelash curlers to create the perfect cut-crease look.
To help her, Sophie is using Tweezerman's Deluxe Classic Eyelash Curler and The Bronze Palette from Kylie Cosmetics' Kyshadow Pressed Powder Palettes.
“I'm using the curved part of the eyelash curlers to press the product across the top of my eyelid, then blending it out with a softer brush. I'm then using the handle of the eyelash curlers to create a really sharp wing,” Sophie says.
“Even though my hands are quite wobbly, it actually looks OK. I'll add a few finishing touches to the inner corner of my eye, but there we have it!” She says. Genius.
