It's time to stock up

Strobing, contouring, highlighting, glitter liner... Beauty trends truly are the gift that keeps on giving. So what's forecast to be the biggest beauty trend this year, we hear you ask?

According to a new report from the guys at Google, masking is already the most searched beauty trend of 2017.

When you think about it, it's really no surprise: from the best sheet masks, homemade face masks and even the best hair masks, there's no doubt that masking has dominated the world of beauty for the last couple of years.

There's no reason to find your favourite face mask and stick to it. Multi-masking, the art of applying different masks to your face depending on its differing skin concerns, is a particularly popular masking method that gained huge popularity in 2016. It allows you to treat the different areas of your face, for example, an oily forehead needs different treatment to a dry A-zone.

So if you want supermodel skin, the answer is in your packet or pot of face mask.
