If you haven’t already revamped your cosmetic case for summer, now is the time to do so. As the humidity rises, the ultimate goal becomes keeping our makeup onboard and out of our mojitos (first world problems, we know). An obvious solution here would be to wear less makeup during the summer months. More often than not, less makeup means fewer products, and because any process of elimination can be a total meltdown in itself, we’ve done the gritty work for you. May we introduce the only six multi-purpose products you’ll need this summer, so that you can spend less time in the mirror, and more time on the beach. Meltdowns not included.
1. Guerlain Terracotta Joli Teint Powder. A defined cheekbone, sun kissed complexion, and shimmery shadow all-in-one. This pretty palette is the ultimate multi-tasker and is always a first to go out of stock. Available in four shades to perfectly compliment every skintone.
2. Ilia Multi-Stick. Packed with Vitamin E and 100% organic, these multi-purpose colour sticks are ideal for cheeks, lips, and lids. Plus, the stick formula allows for easy fool-proof application.
3. Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital Teinte-High Potency Tinted Moisturizer . Out of all the tinted moisturizers on the market, you can be sure this one won’t disappoint. It instantaneously delivers incredible vitamin-rich moisture, a whopping SPF 30, and leaves your face looking fresh and dewy. And with more coverage than the average tinted moisturizer, may you have flawless coverage in a flash.
4. Julie Hewett Los Angeles Cheekie Cheek and Lip Shine Pot.
If cream-based products are your summer go-to, this colour pot is an absolute must. Perfect for natural looking eyes, cheeks, and lips, this Cheekie shine pot adds a pop of colour to your look while still being super blendable. Not to mention, it’s the perfect size to throw in your bag to take with you while you’re on the go.
5. Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Duality. Available in two shades, this dual brow highlighter is perfect for achieving a faux summer glow. Use it to highlight under brows, inner eyes, and cheeks and you’re good to go. The matte highlighter end is ideal for day, while the shimmer highlighter end is best suited for evening.
6. James Read Gradual Tan Body Moisturizer. Moisturize your skin while giving it a natural-looking tan with this James Read Gradual multi-purpose lotion. Free from any fragrance and stickiness, you’ll step out looking (and feeling) like a bronzed goddess. Still don’t believe us? just ask his celebrity clientele.
