HOW TO:BEACH MAKEUP
Whether you are hitting the beach or lounging by the pool, whoever said it must be a makeup-free zone is most definitely mistaken. Whilst wearing makeup on a warm day can feel like a struggle, the key is to keep it light, natural and hydrating without the heavy layers.
Follow our 7 step guide so that you feel at your best for your day in the sun.
1. PREP AND PROTECT
Start the day by cleansing and moisturising your face. Choose a lightweight hydrating moisturiser to ensure your skin stays nourished and to help prevent the sun drying it out. Don’t skip the SPF! Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF30 or higher to protect your skin from the suns’ harmful UV rays and don’t forget to reapply throughout the day.
2. CREATE A LIGHT BASE
For a beach-friendly base, swap out your heavy foundation for Skin Secret Cream Tint SPF 25, enriched with Vitamin E for antioxidant and moisturising properties. If you prefer a little more coverage, opt for our Skin Loving BB Cream. This lightweight, buildable formula contains Ayurvedic Herb Swertia Chirata to help improve skin texture and leave skin looking fresh and radiant.
3. GLOW FROM WITHIN
Achieve that sun-kissed look with a touch of bronzer. Apply where the sun naturally hits your face: the forehead, cheekbones, and jawline for a warm, healthy-looking radiance. Follow with Cheek Veil Liquid Blush in a pink or nude shade for a natural flush on top of your cheeks and at the end of your nose to mimic the look of being kissed by the sun.
4. HIGHLIGHT
Turn up the glam by dabbing a small amount of Light Loving Intensity Liquid Highlighter on your cheekbones, brow bones and the bridge of your nose to create a radiant, sun-kissed glow.
5. KEEP EYES SIMPLE
When creating a beach makeup look, less is more when it comes to your eyes. Opt for a lightly defined brow and a swipe of waterproof mascara to give your lashes a boost. If you want to wear eyeshadow, light shades of Forever Eye Crayon will be your best friend.
6. LOVE YOUR LIPS
Tint your lips with the multitasking Colour Wonder Lip and Cheek Balm infused with hydrating Hyaluronic Acid. Dab onto the centre and blur out to the edges to create that soft focus effect. If you are a lipstick lover opt for HydraBoost – its Hyaluronic Acid core will help keep lips soft, plumped and smooth whilst delivering a glossy, highly pigmented colour payoff.
Tip: Avoid anything too glossy on the lips as its texture can easily attract the sand or your hair from a gust of wind.
7. HYDRATE, SET AND FORGET
Finally, set your makeup with a setting spray. Get Your Glow Setting Mist is a lightweight, hydrating spray that locks in your look and keeps you feeling fresh whilst adding a glowing veil to the complexion.
Tip: Mist throughout the day for a burst of hydration and to refresh your skin.
Achieving a beach-friendly makeup look is all about enhancing your natural beauty while protecting your skin from the elements. With these tips, you’ll be ready to enjoy the sun, sand, and waves with confidence. So, grab your beach bag and get glowing!
