Sweltering heat and humidity can wreak havoc with your beauty look. Our solution? Opt for minimal products and an easy routine. Read on to learn some quick tips and tricks for keeping your face flawless this summer.
Skip the foundation
Summer looks are all about a clean, matte face. Skip the foundation and powder and opt for a tinted moisturiser. It will give you a more natural look, while still evening out skin tone. We love CoverGirl Smoothers Tinted Moisturiser, $17.25.
Rosy cheeks
Put away your powder and switch to cream blushers. They melt into the skin rather than sitting on top. To get a naturally flushed look, sweep it up lightly towards your temples instead of swirling on the apples of your cheeks. We love Napoleon Perdis Barely Blushing, $30.
Golden skin
With summer almost here, now is the perfect time to give your bod a sun-kissed glow (minus the skin damage!) with the help of a self-tanner. We love Le Tan in Le Can (bronze), $14.99, because it's suitable for all skin types and delivers a long lasting, streak-free, natural looking tan. Remember to exfoliate your face, neck and body before and, if you've got acne-prone skin, stick to products labelled 'noncomedogenic'.
Lush lashes
Clear, waterproof mascara is a summer essential. Remember to use an eyelash curler before as it will help to brighten your peepers. We love CoverGirl Natural Lash Mascara, $15.95.
Simple brows
Keep them simple but groomed. Sweep a brow gel through your arches to darken and define them — without the hassle of a melting brow pencil. Try The Body Shop Brow and Lash Gel, $20.95.
