a growing trend. dynamic buells the ladies are making a splash on iceland. space save up your very own d.i.y. cell trucks. now if you ask any of my mate colleagues if they use makeup you'll probably get a flippant answer like no i don't need it i look good enough without it french fashion designer. tried it fifteen years ago but only with moderate success make up for man but times are changing more and more companies are taking this step and now even the traditional brand. has launched a make up series for men so what the modern man about town needs to look great.

make up for men is nothing unusual in the world of fashion. it's standard stuff in showbiz too for well williams likes a bit of eyeliner and david beckham has long been helping himself to his wife victoria's concealer these days though he doesn't have to there's now plenty of men's cosmetics on the market chanel launched a new line of products called in november and beauty experts maggie. has already tried it out. these days fashion and beauty are no longer considered the preserve of women as coco chanel always said it's a question of styles not genders so nowadays it's perfectly normal for men to wear makeup. that said the chanel range is very subtle so men don't need to be nervous. there's a clear lip with a mat finish and

a tinted foundation that's very light. i wouldn't mind that one myself. so what inspires men to wear makeup is this just an attempt to create a new market if so the plan is working. last year. also launched a range of cosmetics for men. we reduced the fragrance and made our products more neutral the look is mad although of course it depends on the skin type. and we wanted to make our makeup as easy as possible to apply with products and techniques tailored to men. just like here. one of his customers is really come our show he wouldn't dream of leaving the house bare faced. this because. i feel better with makeup and have more

self-confidence putting on makeup is part of my morning routine. coming just sitting and. he learned how to do it from watching online tutorials there's also a growing number of blogs discussing the latest trends and testing new products such as marc jacobs makeup line for men. make up for men has finally gone mainstream. like. i use moisturizer but not foundation that's not really me. if it's subtle why not i don't think i'd ever do it. but it is today it's a good idea my boyfriend has some wrinkles i think it would suit him. units that you know. historically make up was often worn by both men and women the egyptian pharaoh as well partial to eyeliner and french aristocrats were positively caked in

powder indigenous peoples all over the world have always painted their bodies and faces tend to as long as it's natural looking. for the browns are well aware of that the products have to be very natural so you don't look made up. on the other hand some men want it to be seen and they have absolutely no prob. but i think most of the men who use make up just want to discreet enhancement. they don't want to hear your make up looks good they want to hear you've got a great complection. lunch one day now a friend takes the test he's given a discreet makeup job by a professional at a french beauty institute it's just supposed to freshen him up a bit he's pleasantly surprised by the results. i might not do this every day but why not for a special event or an important business appointment the. last has institute has

specialized in men for three decades now he's noticed a rapid fire development in recent years. the younger people no longer have any complexes are used to here if i make myself what make people wonder about my sexuality when i still be a man but now that doesn't matter they want to look good on the products keep getting better. as paradoxical as it may seem the current male makeup trend might just have something to do with the latest beard trend. men have started growing beards again and taking care of them and this boom has opened the door to many. men used to think it wasn't very masculine to preen themselves and their beards but then they realized how pleasant it was to have a well kept beard and soft skin that helped the current development along quite

a lot the first step was skin care products for men now it's continuing with makeup for men it's all part of a gradual process small. and a beard doesn't have to get in the way of makeup on the contrary it becomes part of the beauty routine through products that can only be for men. estonian born hour will pay out as one of today's most played living composers his pieces are very often deep and spirital after a long period and he returned to his native stone nia when nowadays he celebrated as a national hero and this is exactly where they have the monument for him nots and the capital tallinn but in the tranquil setting on the baltics coast. estonia's coast is home to composer arvo parent and to the new ival parrot center

nestled in a pine forest it's a meeting place for musicians researchers and music lovers the building designed by two spanish architects features a library and a concert hall. the project initiator is michelle paired the composer son he wanted to make sure the center would be built in a natural setting. it has its own tempo and the pace that nature has and enduring that the nature has and the cycles. and i think i have a very strong and direct reflection to the music and the way that he lives his life . the core of the art are paired chanter is the archive it's kept at a constant seventeen degrees celsius to preserve thousands of scores notes sketches and postcards estonia is understandably proud of its famous son arguably the

world's most performed living composer these days he rarely gives interviews choosing instead to let his work speak for itself. creative journey began in the one nine hundred seventy s. when a stonier was still a soviet republic he developed an experimental almost mystical style often described as holy minimalism the communist leadership didn't approve an awful parent emigrated in one thousand nine hundred. after a brief spell in vienna he moved to berlin where he and his family lived for the next thirty years it was here that he developed his signature little bells sound the so-called tintin the bully his distinctive musical language has earned him a loyal following. september all part of the past means a lot to us he's like a global ambassador first donia minus. the building has a common pleasant atmosphere the architecture works very well it's

a fabulous building it matches the music perfectly. an orthodox christian i will parrot wanted the building to include a chapel and a tower with a view of the baltic sea the center is a fitting tribute to the composer. in a kind of the cause one could say that we've come full circle. it's vital that there is a place where his legacy can be preserved and upheld as a. fairness for this album and unfitted so can. it is a day on which records are broken worldwide it has been taking place every year since two thousand and six find out more and our today's express. thursday is guinness world record day a long list of people who have years weirdest records are being honored this time

they include a blacklight painting by a british artist the largest of its kind. fifty five front splits been performed in a wind tunnel by gales from australia. and the world's longest basketball shot released by someone doing a backflip. and the fastest time solving the rubik's cube upsidedown was recorded in china the guinness book of world records was first published in one thousand fifty five. british rock band muse is set to release its new album simulation theory on friday the band is also planning a world tour that will kick off in the united states in february. so it's. seen those. two of muses previous albums have scooped grammys.

an art installation went on display in london's olympic park on wednesday to mark a century since the end of world war one. artist robert heard has made over seventy two thousand shrouded figures that represent the british commonwealth servicemen killed at the battle of the sun whose final resting place is unknown. we talk numbers you know and in many conflicts so many people died. i just decided that we should try to physicalize that. the artist spent several years cancelling the calico shrouds. the installation will stay in place until november the eighteenth. once upon a time brewing beer was done by women but then things changed oh though there are

a growing number of women in the international brewing the scene these days they are still very rare in many countries we met up with two ladies in iceland who are making in name for themselves among their colleagues. when it comes to brewing beer women are few and far between that's why these two really stand out. because we are women brewing beer that was amazing and we didn't understand we were like in the beginning we're like we're just making beer what do you what are you on about like you know why is this so and then obviously what we found out that we were only a couple of women in iceland make a beer. the two friends started their craft lady beurre and autumn twenty seventeen. they looked into the history of beer and were surprised to

discover that in medieval europe brewing was quite often a job done by women. when we started to research it we stumbled on there that this was the women's job. and. the connection and the symbolism between appear making and. and with this and those in wives so that was our summer we started to use that type of symbolism in our pulling an all or so in. that we were you saying. and so they mixed in with their beer among other things. until recently the ladybird was the only all female brewing operation in iceland now a few other female brewmasters have appeared on the scene and their male competitors have taken notice. if you think of

a brewer think you do see someone. to them slightly overweight so. i think yeah it's been a fairly male dominated scene over the past few years here. presumably there have been women coming up to the scene. at least now to if not three breweries that have women i mean even women masters. since we started we are getting so many. you know e-mails. of women want to blow and they're asking if we can teach them more or if they can follow us for a day or something. once a male domain name the lady bird is putting a female touch to icelandic beers. and it's not very complicated to brew your own home in small amounts all you need besides

the ingredients is a little practice and being practical it's time to bring you another one of our d.i.y. reports our arts and crafts expo this time is hang and today she's showing us how to build a practical starch box which could brighten up your home. wooden boxes don't just look great they also have multiple uses for example and storage boxes for centerpieces if you ever thought about building timed yourselves i'll show you the steps. you need to put in boards i chose from and had the boards cut to size. to handle with matching screws a glass jar with stain powder and a paint brush. wouldn't to fit the box to get a snugly. glue. a true two wood trooping one for

the handles and one for wooden dolls i rule and a pencil a screwdriver and some tape. first prepared to be. stay. off the powder and two hundred fifty millimeters of hot water and let it cool you can also use liquid with stain but unusual colors are often only available as powder. now scent of rough spots on the wooden boards until they are smooth. and mark where you want to drill for hopes first the two panels use the ruler to find the center and draw a line that makes it easier to mark the holes three centimeters from each at each turn the board over and repeat. once you finish. the corresponding holes for the shop panels also three centimeters from the edge. to place all sides on the base drill holes five centimeters from the edges you only need to attach the long

panels to the base the shop panels to help in place. now on to the drilling you need a total of twenty four holes. so you don't accidentally drill through the board perhaps some type a round a drill bit and true only to extend. that helps now we go. so the board is fit to get a snugly through a little deeper and to decide pieces it's very important to drill absolutely straight you can use a folk and for support. now and so that would spread the wood glue evenly over them and press all the pieces together firmly. you can stain the bulbs and whatever color you like threat when you're done let it

try. said the handles. placed a hose in the upper third of each side panel and make sure they are at equal heights now only. you have to do is screw them in and hugo to homebuilt would involve useable for kinds of things. once you've built several boxes you can turn. and use them as a shelf. and you can find all the episodes of all idea what series on our you tube channel and of course a lot of other topics from the show. interior design at its best check out our you tube channel detail interior design stunning ideas spectacular buildings and d.i.y. tutorials on home to gratian we'll take you inside the most beautiful european

a detective he's focused and very selective. each of his pictures is thought provoking and full of secrets. these strangely abstract images tell stories that are devoid of people. scope enough not to know what i think the night shots tell very different kinds of stories with the interior shots it's mainly about the materials that. light is usually omnipresent if the president has a strong effect on surface it's an reflects everything. with night shots but if you have these shadows and this gloom which tell more of a story also. i've on the whole this man existed at sea is.

at present ideas if he think the tao ought i try to capture the aesthetics are generated by this location as best as i can in the photo. anything that interferes is eliminated. kind of course no people appear in the pictures to distract from the aesthetic to think ons of something and with night shots it's clear that much of the surroundings is shrouded in black and that you don't see much that's my approach and i'm sure that's a slow down inside. i some just we don't

know what i'm like i can parrot a bit with painting where you keep adding layers until you think that the. tour is finished and stop looking it's also the same with scouting out locations for buildings so you keep coming back and seeing what state they're in in style and when they're finished i think are just before they're ready to be used so you have to be there to take a picture of stars which is a mom. who else would shoot the back of an industrial building or a garage entrance at night. julieann phone harbor is patient and picky normally just eight photos a year means his exacting standards so his body of work is small but his picture has a large formats they feasted an international exhibitions and collections. we took him out with him being our but i always want to work with things that are produced by people i will offer but here too i try to exert as little influence as possible . of course that subjective me through time i try not to stage things too dramatic

way for everything rather i let them speak for themselves i do that with spaces too but it's harder to convey because they look so bright and unreal. born in southern germany in one nine hundred seventy five follow have a now calls the lead. it takes us to places that are familiar yet unfamiliar the t.v. studios of german public broadcasters the d n a rental car office. he shows us the skies over cairo where the light from neon signs illuminates the haze like an abstract painting. supermarket shelves empty and mysteriously beautiful. like this word for the new york times magazine in twenty eleven what looks like painted stripes dutch to live fields seen from above that's also a moment of this tentative up history of the whole when i said i was going to holland

to photograph tulips people thought of these cliched images. and romantic pictures of tulip theo has been the one. i was a fan of in this but what came of it was an image that defied people's expectations from the knife or a part of me and he did it without resorting to tricks all supplementary lighting you land fall hard as images are more than photos they are mud in alt. without humans a little bit too if you ask me that's it for today you thanks for tuning in and i hope you can join us again tomorrow and by. the books next time on your own max we head to london where wealthy homeowners are reacting to the shortage of space in the city with iceberg homes luxury is multistory basements. more space for the super rich
