Beauty Treats: Embracing low maintenance looks and beautiful makeup brushes

There has never been a better time to celebrate being grey. Last week, the gene responsible for up to 30 per cent of greying hair was discovered — and with it the possibility of reversing the process. But, in a survey by hair brand White Hot, 92per cent of those with silver locks said they would never consider going back to their original colour. And if you choose to embrace the greys, it pays to use specially formulated products. White Hot Intense Lustre Mask (€17.49, boots.ie) deeply conditions, while Scott Cornwall Colour Restore Iced Platinum Toner (€15.50, ebay.ie) softens greys without peroxide or ammonia. Pro:Voke Touch Of Silver Intensive Keratin Shot (€9 for three, boots.com) adds instant shine.
