With summer around the corner, it could be time to make some updates to your beauty regime.
From sun cream to sweat-proof makeup, explore the summer beauty essentials that can help you look and feel your best all season long.
Sun Cream
One of the most important summer beauty essentials is sun cream. Providing some protection from harmful UV rays, it is crucial for helping to reduce UV-related photoaging.
Look for a broad-spectrum sun cream and remember to reapply frequently, especially if you’re spending long stints outdoors or in water.
Lip Balm with SPF
Lips can easily get sunburned too, so don’t forget to protect your lips from the sun’s harmful rays with a lip balm that contains SPF.
Formulas infused with hydrating ingredients like shea butter or coconut oil that could also help to keep your lips soft and smooth and reduce sun-induced moisture loss.
Tinted Primer
Swap out heavy foundations for lightweight alternatives like tinted moisturizers or BB creams during the summer months.
These products provide some coverage while allowing your skin to breathe, making them perfect for hot and humid weather. Look for formulas with added sun protection and a dewy finish to achieve ultimate radiance.
Cream Blush
Add a pop of color to your cheeks with a cream blush. This formula could work well to blend seamlessly into your skin for a natural, dewy finish.
We recommend coral, peach or pink shades to add a summery vibrance to your look.
Glitter Eyes
Glitter eye makeup is perfect for summer as it adds a touch of glamour and sparkle to your look, making your eyes shine under the sun’s rays.
The warm tones of gold complement sun-kissed skin beautifully, enhancing your glow for summer events and parties.
Note: Prevent your eye shadow from creasing and fading by using an eye shadow primer before applying your eye makeup.
Eye shadow primers create a smooth base for your eye shadow, help it adhere better to your lids, and ensure long-lasting colour.
Waterproof Mascara
To prevent smudges caused by sweat and humidity, opt for a waterproof mascara that will stay put all day long.
Waterproof mascara is perfect for pool parties, beach days or any summer event where you want your lashes to stay voluminous and defined.
Bright Lips
Make a statement with vibrant lip colors like bright pinks, corals, or reds that complement your summer wardrobe.
Opt for glossy formula to keep your lips looking luscious and hydrated throughout the day. We recommend applying this after applying your lip balm with SPF to provide your lips with some protection from the sun’s rays.
Setting Spray
Lock in your makeup and keep it looking fresh all day with a setting spray, which can help to extend the wear of your makeup while helping to prevent it from melting or fading in the heat.
