CHOCOLATE BROWN FOR
YOUR HAIR
Brown is still a popular “other-than-
black” hair colour but the better
brown to get now is chocolate: a
single all-over colour. No highlights,
no gradient; just a rich, robust,
and true brown. The slight reddish
tones in the shade help bring out the
rosiness in your skin too.
If you’re not keen on a box dye,
make an appointment at a Shiseido
Professional salon. It offers the
haircarebrand’sColourMixology

It’s the perm that doesn’t quite
look like a perm. Forget about
tight Maggie Cheung curls, big,
deliberate princess ones or even a
body wave perm. The perm to get in
the new year should curl your hair
so subtly, it can be (and should be)
mistaken for natural waves.
Hair Salon Tokyo Michaela
delivers this type of perm perfectly –
the Michaela Signature Perm ($500)
will trick just about everyone into
thinking you have #iwokeuplikethis
waves. Not only does it look
naturally tousled from the get-go,
the salon will customise the curls to
the direction of your natural hair, so
the waves still look great even after
your hair grows out.THEUNEXPECTEDNEUTRAL:

CARE-OF SKIN
It’s not just about using a sheer
foundation or tinted moisturiser.
It’s not about not wearing any
makeup, either. To get the model-
off-duty, fresh-faced look, makeup
artists are turning to serum
foundations. What it is: medium-
coverage foundations that have
serum-like skincare benefits
infused – they actually even feel
like, well, serums.
What we like: Bobbi Brown’s
Intensive Skin Serum Foundation
SPF40/PA+++ ($92, 17 shades),
which has cordyceps and artemia
to nourish skin and give it a glow.
And the Double Lasting Serum
Foundation ($35.90, 12 shades)
from Etude House is 61 per cent
hydrating serum; putting it on
gives the illusion of well-rested,
rosy skin.LauraMercier
