Everything about summer invites you to rediscover how truly beautiful and glamorous you can feel. It is a season that demands fresh, vibrant color, and luxurious textures. Using the same old makeup you used last winter is simply a waste of the perfect opportunity to experiment with something totally fresh.
Ann, our fave makeup artist over at Woo (the corner of Colony and Selwyn), has the Top 10 Beauty Picks that are must-haves for us this summer.
1. Best Summer Moisturizer.
This C+C is made with an extraordinarily high amount of Vitamin C, a powerful anti-oxidant.
2. Best Summer Serum.
A serum that is ultra-light and works to both repair old damage and prevent new damage!
3. Best Sunscreen.
This sunscreen boasts being completely non-shiny, giving you the velvety finish of high-quality makeup.
Runner-up:
This Primer from the natural-beauty geniuses at Chantecaille boasts Cherry blossom, lemon balm and white tea extracts that deliver powerful anti-inflammatory properties.
4. Best Foundation With Sunscreen.
Two birds.
5. Best Bronzing Cream.
A fool-proof, blend-able solution for those who want the sun-kissed glow of bronzer, and fear the dirty smudgy look from over-application.
6. Best Bronzing Powder.
For those who do trust themselves with applying bronzing powder, it can give a breezier, softer look. And its so easy to dab on with a big brush.
This Laura Mercier is also very user-friendly:
7. Best Summer Blush.
Perfect summer colors in a lineup of flawless creamy consistency.
8. Best Summer [Waterproof] Mascara.
While its incredibly resistant to water, sweat and tears, Supreme Cils is a miracle product in that you don’t have to rub your eyes dry to get it off. The thermal-sensitive product is formulated so that a little warm water will melt it off easily.
And this non-smudging wonder as Runner-Up:
9. Best Summer Eyeliner.
These shimmery tones would heat up the hottest summer night. Plus they won’t bleed!
For the more conservative:
Gel liner in pencil form for the easiest application, highest definition, and longest-lasting resilience.
A similarly amazing product is:
10. Best Summer Lip.
Creamy colors, UV protection, gentle matte texture for the perfect summer lip.
Don’t feel dated or left behind this summer. Embrace the change in the air with a revamp of your go-to face for day or night.
