Hot milk cake with coconut topping

Summer is around the corner and with the hot weather comes the reality of a sweatier, oilier face. So our makeup tends to get lighter in consistency, with foundations swapped out for skin tints and heavy powders ditched. Makeup in sheer or balmy textures becomes a blessing. While it’s not the most mask transfer-proof finish, a sheer texture is quick and easy to top up. Usually only a quick blend with the pad of a finger (over a brush and sponge) is all you need. Dominic Skinner, global senior artist at MAC Cosmetics tells Metro.co.uk these textures also allow you to experiment with playful colours in a failsafe way. Using blusher as an example, he says: ‘Bold looks always find a way to filter to the high street. ‘So a bold, yet sheer, pop of blush has its origins in fashion week but made more wearable.’ So as well as being quicker to apply and less heavy on the skin, you can afford to go brighter or more statement than you normally would, in the knowledge … [Read more...] about For easy summer makeup, sheer and balmy textures are the way to go – here are our top buys

The north German city of Hamburg will ration hot water and limit heating temperatures in the event of a gas emergency, its environment senator has said. The major port, home to nearly two million people, will ration hot water in homes and limit maximum heating temperatures if there are gas shortages, announced Hamburg Senator for the Environment Jens Kerstan. "In an acute gas shortage, warm water could only be made available at certain times of the day in an emergency," Kersten told the Welt am Sonntag newspaper, adding that the city was considering a general reduction of maximum room temperatures. Germany's government is asking citizens and companies to cut back on energy use and help them fill up gas storage facilities before winter, over concerns surrounding Russian gas imports. In June, Germany moved to stage two of its three-tier emergency gas plan after Russia reduced deliveries via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline. Stage two, called the Alarm Phase, is where … [Read more...] about Gas shortage emergency would push Hamburg to ration hot water, says senator

Amanda Burling is a rural advisor at Baker Tilly Staples Rodway Taranaki. OPINION: After a good 2021 season, rising costs are now starting to hit farmers. Grain is almost inaccessible at the moment, and all other feed is available is at a premium. Feed prices have risen by over 50% in some cases, and with the conflict in Ukraine still ongoing, this will most likely remain volatile. With some dairy farmers facing $70,000 to $100,000 in additional costs per 100,000 kilograms of milk solids this year, it’s time to start planning for 2023 now, as the next season could be bumpy.

Foundation? Who even is she? All jokes aside, the cover of all cover-ups is still as popular as ever, but a new young bright thing is coming up the rear. And she’s taking her spot in the beauty bags of many. Who may this young starlet be, you ask? Well, her name is skin tint and she’s going to have her name in flashing lights this summer. Not quite a tinted moisturiser or a BB cream, skin tints fall somewhere in the middle. The aim is to even out skin tone while allowing freckles, pores and skin texture to shine through. This fact alone will cause panic in many. Foundations are there to blur and rid skin of flaws, whereas skin tints want you to embrace them. In the summer months, foundation can cause more issues than its worth. Excess oil and sweat wreck a flawless finish. While the heavy nature of some formulas can often feel like an extra weight on the skin. This is where skin tint becomes an excellent option. They are light enough to keep skin breathing and … [Read more...] about The best skin tints to replace your foundation this summer

There can be no more vivid example of how dilapidated and dysfunctional the National Health Service is becoming than the news that postmen are to be deployed as makeshift care workers. Royal Mail Health, the branch of the postal service set up to deliver prescription medicine to homes during lockdown , is proposing that its letter carriers act as 'community look-outs'. As well as bringing the post, they will look in on elderly and vulnerable customers, like roaming health visitors and social workers. Is this what social care in the UK has become? It's disgraceful that we should even think of demoting community health to this level, making it a by-product of the postal service. The very idea reveals how badly care services have collapsed. If we have to rely on untrained postal workers to look after our frail and elderly, we have allowed the system to deteriorate to the point where it is no longer fit for purpose. Every hospital doctor knows, of course, that posties … [Read more...] about DR MAX PEMBERTON: Patients need to see GPs, not their postmen
