Ever come across those unicorns that are just perfectly groomed all year round? Kudos to them eh?! Or…maybe even congrats to that Lo-Fi Instagram filter. Now, if it’s a state you’ve always dreamt of then dream no further…USPAAH is here to make this your reality in just the tap of a button! No more flicking through 20 photos to find that one ready for a perfect post. USPAAH is here to make you glam 24/7!

It’s all very fairy godmother like…our professional therapists and beauticians, aka Sparistas will come to you. Why not get yourself prepped for the summer by starting with your Easter getaway?

Getting your nails photo ready

Enjoy having beautifully prepped holiday nails without the fear of chipping, cracking and peeling. Gel manicures and pedicures are clearly a holiday game changer for those on-the-go during a city break, not wanting to waste even a minute, as well as for those beach babes just wanting to sit and relax in the sun. The glossy finish will stay on for weeks without dulling, so your nails will be picture perfect (ready for a good old ‘#smoasting’ post!) the entire time.

Spa Mani & Pedi starting from £68

Who’s got time to waste on applying and taking off eye makeup?! Every minute counts when you’re on that much-needed break. Enjoy a low-maintenance beauty routine by getting a set of waterproof eyelash extensions. Isn’t effortlessly glam and wide awake after a fab (late) night out the look we’re all going for? And there’s no need to worry about smeared mascara after a good swim ever again. After all, we all want to emerge from the water Ursula Andress style! 😉

Eyelash Extensions starting from £99

Tanned like you’ve already been there a week

Another way to step up your pre-holiday beauty game is by getting a Spray Tan. Arrive at your destination with flawlessly bronzed skin and you’ll feel extra confident in your bikini. Remember that Spray Tan won’t protect you from the sun though, so don’t forget to keep your skin safe with a high SPF.

Spray Tan for £45.

Hitting the slopes

A pre-trip massage will help get you in prime condition, allowing you to take your skiing or snowboarding to the next level. And once you’re back from all the strenuous activity, you’re probably going to experience sore muscles.

A post-trip sports massage is recommended because not only will it help you to relax and improve blood circulation, it will help your body heal more quickly and problem areas can be identified before they develop into injuries.

Massages starting from £69, choose from 60 mins, 90 mins or 2 hours.

As the invitations mount up and the lights go down, make way for a dash of glitz and a pop of glamour. Need a bit of help with your festive make up? Our professionals have picked out the best products out there to help you shine all day and all night.

Party Makeup – The Festive Edit

The power of party makeup can be considerable, as winter skin can look all over sun starved and dull from dehydration. So we’ve gathered the best new products on the block, designed to help you fake that glow, embrace your inner showgirl (if only for the night) and get your party game face on.

prep

Preparation is key so be sure to exfoliate with time saving multi-taskers such as Exfolikate by Kate Sommerville. A healthy mix of AHA’s, salicylic acid, vitamins A, C and E reveal a glowing, fresh-from-the-facialist complexion.

Potions to perk up tired, dull skin. We just adore Oskia’s Get Up & Glow; this energising serum is akin to sunshine in a bottle a sheer, a pearlescent almost duo-crome gel it works by boosting the skin’s oxygen uptake it’s stacked with skin plumping peptides and – yes it does actually glow!

prime

Prime: Long gone are the days when primers simply ensured that makeup lasted… new generation primers such as Charlotte Tilbury’s Wonderglow creates a light diffusing ethereal glow giving skin an instant “spotlight Effect”.

Base: Switch up your foundation for a more winter appropriate option, such as Aqua Glow by Stila. This ultra lightweight, water-based serum foundation helps to instantly smooth, hydrate and perfect the look of skin. It utilises multi-reflective colour pigments to optically bounce light off the skin.

cheeks

Highlight or Illuminate: Less is more – Our Pro’s picks: Becca’s Champagne Pop highlighter. Delicately blend over cheekbones, down the bridge of the nose, over the cupids bow and across the upper brow bone for a subtle glow. Illuminate with Mac Strobe Cream. Pro Tip: Mix this into your day cream, foundation or pat over your finished makeup.

Cheeks: While in the summer your artfully applied cream blush can go from dewy glow to sweaty sheen in a matter of hours the cooler winter climate ensures a sweep of cream blush can be an effective short cut to a swish of lustre. Top Picks L’Eclat Cremeux by Kevyn Aucoin or get on trend with blush oils by the likes of LA beauty brand Milk.

eyes

Eyes: Take this season’s cue from makeup legend Pat McGrath whose work has graced countless fashion catwalks. Pat’s latest collection Metalmorphasis is the ultimate in metallic sheen a collection of sublime molten metal shades, brighten eyelids, line lids, gild lips, and metalize shoulders with sensuous shine. P.S Our Makeup artist’s are ready and waiting if you would rather leave it to the pros?

Lips: Plump for deep gothic reds as seen in the patent glosses by Dior in the A/W shows or mat ruby stains keeping liner invisible. For nudes glisten up with a swipe of a golden gloss like Sephora’s ultra shine gel in Sand.

lips

Want full body dazzle? Apply Natasha Denona’s new body highlight powder “Glow” using a large fluffy brush to the décolleté, collar bones and limbs to make skin appear absolutely flawless. It’s all about bouncing off that light!

Finishing touches – get your party shoes on, a twist and a shake and your ready to go!
