SUMMER BEAUTY MUST HAVES

The best of beauty for the warm summer months!

FOR YOUR LIPS:

Colour, colour, colour, colour. If we’ve learned one thing this season, it’s that we need to abandon all hesitation and neon-ize our lips. We realize it can be intimidating and off-putting, but once you pop (some colour) we promise – the fun won’t stop.

Need some proof? Check out Rachel Bilson, Georgia Jagger and Kate Bosworth boasting the vivid lip.

FOR YOUR FACE:

So we’re past winter. Which means out with dry flaky skin! Also means: hello oily skin. Shiny t-zones, sweat, dirt, oil – not so favorable, if you ask us.

Try switching up your cleanser to combat the dreaded shiny t-zone, We love Clean & Clear® Morning Burst Shine Control Cleanser. It not only removes dirt, oil and impurities, it also leaves your skin looking shine-free all day. Plus it’s infused with lemongrass and fruit extracts.

FOR YOUR HAIR:

Every summer the same story – beachy waves are the way to go. Don’t bother with straightening, curling and coiffing, only to walk out into the summer heat and realize your hard work has gone to waste. We swear by sea salt spray. Wake up, spray, scrunch, you’re good to go.

FOR YOUR NAILS:

Transitioning into summer means popping colour wherever we can, yes? Last year was the year of the green-y hues. This year? It’s all about the coral. Shades of orange look good on any skin tone and are great ways to shoot some color into a neutral ensemble.

FOR YOUR EYES:

Keep eye makeup minimal for warm days out on the town. Minimal, but not obsolete! For eye definition that won’t end up on your chin by EOD, keep it waterproof! Mascara and a hint of eyeliner will do.

Maybelline Full ‘N Soft is our ultimate, super favorite waterproof mascara. Stays on all day – boosts your lashes to the sky – doesn’t make you look like you’ve got spider legs comin’ outta your eyes.

And on the liner front – Lucky swears by MAC Fluidline for all our MTV girls.
