During the Summer months it is a good idea to take a look at your usual beauty routine and make a few tweaks to ensure you’re using products that aren’t going to clog your skin, or leave you exposed to the sun’s damaging rays.
Here are our top tips on how to ensure you look and feel fabulous in the heat!
Up the SPF
Ideally you should protect your skin from damaging UV rays all year round, but during the Summer it’s even more important to do so. You don’t have to slather on heavy-duty sun cream to do this, many brands now have SPF in their facial moisturisers that are lightweight and non-greasy, so you won’t even realise you’re wearing any!

Prep to perfection
When we’re hot, make-up can have a tendency to slide around our face a little, meaning by the end of the day we’re looking more melted than marvellous!
After your SPF, use our Velvet Perfection Foundation Primer to keep your skin looking satiny smooth whilst fresh and natural all day. Water based, it acts as a buffer to toxic outside elements and eases the application of your foundation or tinted moisturiser. It is an essential tool for make-up artist results with minimum fuss.

Think longevity and staying power
Next, pop some of our Eye Base underneath your eye shadow to prep your eyes for smoother eye-shadow application that will ensure your colour holds for hours with no creasing.
This fabulous little product can also be worn alone if you wish, as it goes on sheer, allowing you to subtly brighten your eyes for a natural daytime look. Tip! Works a treat under lipsticks too!
