Whether you’re hitting the beach or attending a summer party, here’s how to achieve an on-trend look and keep your makeup fresh in the heat…
LIGHTEN UP YOUR BASE
Swap out heavy foundations for lighter alternatives such as tinted moisturisers or BB creams. These products provide coverage while allowing your skin to breathe and preventing clogged pores. Opt for formulas with SPF to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.
EMBRACE YOUR NATURAL GLOW
During summer, embrace your natural radiance by using highlighters and illuminators. Apply them to the high points of your face, such as the cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. This will give you a healthy and sun-kissed glow.
WATERPROOF YOUR MAKEUP
To prevent your makeup from melting off in the summer heat, opt for waterproof or long-lasting formulas. Look for waterproof mascaras, eyeliners and eyeshadows to ensure your eye makeup stays intact even on the hottest days.
GO FOR VIBRANT LIPS
Summer is the perfect time to experiment with bold and vibrant lip colours. Try shades like coral, pink, or bright red to complement your sun-kissed skin. Choose long-wearing formulas or lip stains to ensure the colour lasts throughout the day.
KEEP IT MINIMAL
Summer is all about embracing a more natural and effortless look. Avoid heavy contouring and opt for a more minimalistic approach. Let your skin breathe and focus on enhancing your features with light blush and bronzer for a fresh-faced appearance.
SET YOUR MAKEUP
To ensure your makeup stays in place throughout the day, set it with a lightweight setting spray. This will help control shine and keep your makeup looking fresh and dewy.
PROTECT YOUR SKIN
Remember to always prioritise skincare during the summer months. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 before applying any makeup. This will protect your skin from harmful UV rays and prevent sun damage.
