Summer beauty must-haves

Lipgloss

A statement lip colour is bold but never old. Whether you choose bright red or muted pink, a coloured lip is a quick and easy way to elevate your holiday make-up. 

A bold lip allows you to keep the rest of your holiday look minimal as it becomes the main focus. Keeping your colour palette neutral allows all attention to remain on the lip.

Pair with dewy, glowing skin for a natural holiday look. Adding highlight and bronze to your cheekbones adds an extra effortless element of glam.

You can also add blush on top of a clear lip balm or Vaseline to create different shades. Lightly brush over for a subtle tint or pack on heavily for a darker hue. Rub your lips together to seamlessly blend.

Hair Conditioning Mask

A hair conditioning mask is made up of nourishing ingredients that deeply hydrate your hair creating, shinier, healthier hair from just one use.

Chlorine and other chemicals can strip your hair of natural oils and make it feel dry and brittle so figuring out your go-to holiday hair regime to prevent over-brushing and over-washing is a must. By adding good moisture back into your hair, you limit the chance of breakage and damage.

Experts recommended that you use a deep conditioning mask once or twice per week but depending on the condition and type of hair you may need to use this treatment more frequently. 

You can use it in addition to your usual conditioner for stronger hair and can purchase full-size bottles and just one-use sachets for shorter trips from high street stores.

Liquid Highlighter

For an enhanced glow, make sure to pack your liquid highlighter. Liquid highlighters are used to create a subtle, dewy glow that can blend into the natural texture of your skin whereas a powder highlight is added on top of makeup for a shimmering finish.

Just like any powder highlighter, the best results are when applied to the points of the face that catch the most sunlight. Consider adding to cheekbones, the tip of the nose and the cupid’s bow. Apply with a brush, sponge or even just your finger for an easily added shine.

Highlighter adds an instant refresh and creates radiant skin. A perfectly simple step for holiday no-makeup makeup that enhances your features in a minimal way.

Tinted Moisturiser 

Not everyone has the time, or wants, to spend hours in the sun topping up their tan from last year’s summer holiday, and with a tinted moisturiser, you don’t have to.

Exactly what it says on the bottle a tinted moisturiser is a face moisturiser that has a pigmented tint. They are often lightweight and hydrating making them a great holiday alternative to heavy foundations and artificial tans.

It is important to note tinted moisturisers should not be used in place of SPF moisturisers. Although some tinted moisturisers may contain levels of SPF, it is always best to research and apply SPF protection to your skin.

A perfect summer beauty must-haves.
