“Life’s too short to wear boring lipstick.”

Freaking out? Shouting? Raise your hand? Stop! Violence in partnerships is a no-go, which Yves Saint Laurent Beauty wants to counteract with its “Abuse in not Love” campaign. The label aims to raise awareness of the issue among employees, support research and, together with local NGOs, educate two million people worldwide by 2030. Every second week in Switzerland, a victim dies as a result of domestic violence – a statistic that needs to change.
It sparks!
More of everything that takes our breath away, that turns trends into real everyday saviors and grey days into days with a twist. We help this sparkle with the right make-up and from now on dab sequins on our lips, dust glittering textures on our eyelids or experiment with powders as shimmering as stardust. Important: don’t do everything at once if you don’t want to look like a long-forgotten Christmas tree.

Without the right frame, even the Mona Lisa would just be a bit of oil on canvas. And if you read FACES regularly, then you know exactly how important your brows are. So make sure you comb and correct your eyebrows properly, lip gloss and the like can wait. We find the right products for this at The Browery, whose range includes everything we need for beautiful, well-groomed brows, from activators and maximizers to definers and shapers. No nasty ingredients and completely vegan – it couldn’t be better. browery.com
Resurrection
It’s all right, we’ve heard it. Drinking water, getting enough sleep, no alcohol, no cigarettes… and if our skin still goes crazy and we look like crumpled pillows after a night of Netflix? Then we need support from within and preferably from Sanbera, because their food supplements come from Switzerland, from the extraction of the raw materials to their consumption. Hand-picked plants and fruits such as black elderberries and acerola cherries, together with vitamins and minerals, ensure that we feel good. Skin glows, metabolism is boosted, digestion and sleep are improved – if we can get away from the screen and into bed, but that’s another story. sanbera.com
Crazy as Fuck
It was actually all just a joke, a game, an idea that matured like a streaky gorgonzola. And here it is, Toiletpaper Beauty, the beauty line of the magazine of the same name, whose founders enjoy grandiose images at least as much as we do. The hand creams, soaps and room fragrances are so visually dazzling that we can’t help but decorate our entire bathroom with them. Spaghetti Pomodoro on the hand soap or poisonous snakes on the label of the shampoo and conditioner: we love the visual design of the products and are also quite taken with their insides. Buy it, set it up, love it. toiletpaperbeauty.com
Cotton candy
You can shake your head as long as you like, but this season you simply have to join in! Rosa has been around for a long time – and will be for a while yet. Now the trend is trickling down to the supermarket shelves, where day-old tints and hair chalk grin at you. No, you don’t have to go the whole hog and dip your head in color, which is as stubbornly stuck as the idea that pink has no place on your head. Experiment with short inserts and feel your way around, with a strand, color in the tips or just the idea of trying something completely new.
