Summer means…more sun for one thing. If you’ve invested in a pair of Polaroid sunglasses, you’ve already got all-important UV protection and polarization for eye comfort. I think aviators are great, but I chose Jackie O for a little grown-up glamour. When you’re on holiday and wearing sunglasses all day long, it’s a good idea to make a few changes to your make-up routine.
§ Focus on your mouth – Try using lip liner, especially when the weather’s hot. And don’t just outline you lips. Go ahead and fill them in. Pencil is waxier and will give your lips a long lasting finish – even if your recoat yourself in sun screen. If a matt finish doesn’t work for you, try a great lip gloss. I use the Liptoxyl® sheer in one of four shades. It works as a lip plumper and is infused with diamond dust for unbeatable shimmer. At less than £15, I think it gives you glamour at a very good price
§ Don’t forget your eyebrows – Define your eyebrows. They’re often just above the frame of your sunglasses. Use a touch of highlighter on the brow bone for an instant eye lift.
§ Make your skin glow – Use either a tinted moisturiser or blend equal parts of moisturiser and foundation for a dewy finish. I use my own Perfect Protection Moisture Tint with SPF 15 (£15.95). A bronzer will give your cheekbones definition. Use it under you cheekbones. My Powder Bronzer (£12.95) is simple to apply. A few brush strokes and you’re done.
