Makeup has come a long way over the years. The reputation that makeup is bad for your skin is changing as products advance with new, innovative technology. More brands are infusing skin-loving ingredients into their products in order to provide the cosmetic function of makeup while also serving the benefits of skincare. A makeup-skincare hybrid, if you will. Essentially, it’s makeup products that include ingredients traditionally found in skincare products, like hyaluronic acid, SPF, and various antioxidants. Whether you’re on the hunt for a concealer that will simultaneously cover and treat blemishes, or a lipstick that doubles as a hydrating serum – we’ve rounded up 8 makeup products that double as skincare.

Some showers are for a quick wash, some are for a hair freshen-up, and some are reserved for everything. Dubbed as the everything shower on TikTok. Everything showers are a head-to-toe shower routine that includes all of your pampering essentials, usually done once a week (specifically on Sundays, to get the vibes just right). The secret to having the ultimate everything shower to make yourself feel super clean and rejuvenated is having a great product line-up to use before, during, and after. Our ultimate everything shower routine involves a decent amount of steps, so light a candle, get a glass of ice water, and dive in!
Rejuvenate and refresh with our ultimate everything shower guide!
Before the shower:
Before your everything shower, there are a couple of things you want to do to prep. For one, put in a scalp/hair oil prior and massage it in. The longer you can let it soak, the better! You can also lightly dry brush your body to start the exfoliating process.
During the shower:
When you step into the shower is when the real work comes in! You’re going to want to start by washing your hair. We love a double-shampoo routine. The first one is to get out the oils and grime, and the second is to ensure the hair is really cleansed. Next, put in a hair mask and let it soak while you do your body routine. The in-shower body routine involves exfoliating, shaving (if you shave), and washing (we actually like to save washing to the very end, though, to get all excess product off). Once that’s done, it’s time to rinse out your hair mask and apply a conditioner to lock it all in, then rinse.
After the shower:
After showering, throw your hair up in a towel, dry off, and put on a cozy robe. Then it’s time for skincare. It’s best to wait until you’re done showering to do skincare to wash off any product that might have gotten onto the face. Once your skincare is done, moisturize your entire body, put in a leave-in hair mask, and you’re done! At this point, you should feel absolutely rejuvenated, fresh, and ready to take on the week.

8 Celebrity Brands That Are Actually Good
Now that TIFF is in full swing, you may be wondering how celebrities get ready for such events! From award shows, premieres, press, movies, and so much more, celebs seem to always be on camera or in front of a crowd. Although their natural beauty is a large factor, there are also some other aspects at play when it comes to celebs getting camera-ready for a big event such as TIFF – including an array of beauty treatments!
But why should only the famous enjoy the luxury of getting a treatment to make them look and feel their best? Us normal folk deserve a celeb-worthy beauty service every once in a while, too! Whether you have an upcoming wedding, event, or simply just want to treat yourself – we’ve rounded up some of the best celeb-worthy beauty treatments to try in the city.
Get camera-ready with these celeb-worthy beauty treatments!
Microneedling @ Tight Clinic
Microneedling is known to be a popular beauty treatment amongst celebs to keep their skin in its best possible condition. The service refines the skin’s texture and overall appearance by creating micro-injuries, encouraging collagen and elastin production. Which results in the treatment of fine lines, acne scars, and skin elasticity – to name a few! Tight Clinic, the well-known influencer and celebrity-approved clinic located right here in Toronto, offers Microneedling with SkinPen® in order to provide a minimally invasive, skin-regenerating treatment with little to no downtime.
Lymphatic Drainage Massage @ Tight Clinic
It’s been said that celebrities such as Jennifer Aniston, Hailey Bieber, and Kim Kardashian turn to lymphatic drainage massages before events and big photoshoots, making their bodies look extra snatched. Tight Clinic offers a Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage that works to open lymph nodes and push water weight, toxins, and bloat out of the body, resulting in a contoured look! This service is especially great to have done a few days before a big event, like a wedding, if you want to look extra “tight.”
Hydrate + Glow Facial @ Formula Fig
If you’re looking for a facial with no downtime to ensure you’re glowing for your next event (or on any regular day), Formula Fig’s Hydrate + Glow facial is the perfect option. It uses gentle microdermabrasion (a form of advanced exfoliation), to stimulate the skin, remove dead skin cells, and create an overall more radiant look and feel. You can get this treatment and walk out looking instantly refreshed and camera-ready!
Teeth Whitening @ Schulz Beauty & Body
If you’ve ever paid attention to pretty much any celebrity’s smile, it’s pretty obvious that teeth whitening is likely in a lot of their beauty routines. This is one you can maintain at home with a product such as Crest White Strips, however, if you’re looking to really enhance the whiteness of your teeth – and fast, getting a professional to whiten your teeth is the way to go. Visit Schulz Beauty & Body to make your teeth visibly whiter in just one visit, without having to pay dentist-office pricing.
Laser Hair Removal @ Waxon
Many celebrities have gone on the record sharing that they’ve done laser hair removal, including the Kardashian-Jenners! And is it just us, or are a lot of celebrities virtually hairless on their bodies? Laser Hair Removal is the most permanent way to get rid of unwanted hair, and with the busy schedules a lot of these individuals have, who has time to wax or shave? Waxon offers laser hair removal on any and every body part you can think of. Note that for lasting results, you’ll need about 6 to 8 sessions.
Lash Lift & Tint @ Flirty Flutters Lash & Brow
Getting a lash lift & tint is one of the more affordable celeb-worthy beauty treatments out there. And as simple as it is, it can do wonders! There are a ton of different spots in Toronto to get this service done, including at Flirty Flutters Lash & Brow. Lash lifts give the lashes a perfect curl, allowing them to appear more voluminous and long. A tint darkens the colour of your lashes, making them appear more defined and noticeable. They typically last around 4 weeks and are super low maintenance.
Chemical Peel @ My Beauty Doctor
Apparently, Priyanka Chopra Jonas gives credit to chemical peels contributing to her radiant and even skin! Margot Robbie and Megan Fox are also celebs said to enjoy the service. Chemical peels use specific chemical ingredients to peel back the skin’s top layer to reveal a healthy and glowing complexion. My Beauty Doctor, located in Toronto, offers a variety of peels for various skin types, tones, and conditions to help provide the best results for each individual.
Spray Tan @ Beloved Spray Tan
It’s no secret that celebrities love a spray tan before hitting the red carpet. Even non-celebs are accustomed to getting a spray tan before a wedding, vacation, or other special occasion. They are pretty affordable, take little time, and provide dramatic results, providing an all-over body glow minus the sun damage. There are various spots throughout Toronto where you can get a great spray tan, with Beloved Spray Tan in Yorkville being a fan favourite.
Dry (Russian) Manicure
Dry manicures, otherwise known as Russian manicures, are becoming increasingly popular, especially for moments when you want your nails to look their absolute freshest. Essentially, this manicure style has a heavy focus on cuticle work and provides an overlay of gel on the natural nail. Think “your nails but better.”
