Ace your base
With weddings, BBQs, and holidays on the horizon, there's a range of looks to explore, from glamorous to naturally luminous.
As we all know, a flawless base is key to achieving stunning makeup looks. Even on makeup-free days, it's possible to enhance our natural glow and create a subtle radiance.
Vogue's Hydrating Facial Mist (€24) is set to become your summer skin superstar and it can be used in a number of ways. Apply over makeup for a dewy, natural glow, pop it in the fridge to cool down during the warm summer days, or pair it with tanning mist or serum for the ultimate ‘bare face’ look. The lightweight fluid of facial mist combines nourishing hydration with an incredible ethereal shimmering effect so that you are always good to glow.
Dr Hauschka’s Translucent Bronzing Tint (€22) recently went viral because it is universally flattering, and can be mixed in with your usual daytime moisturiser to help soften the appearance of blemishes and imperfections. The glowy look makes for a smooth and even skin tone, and the expertly melded formula.
Huda Beauty #FAUXFILTER Luminous Matte Liquid Concealer (€31). The brand-new colour correctors harness colour theory by using opposing colours to neutralise unwanted discolouration. For years, bright colours – like green and purple – have been used to correct, but peachier tones cancel out darkness and pigmentation to create even skin or a blank canvas for other complexion products. Available in 5 peach-pink shades, the concealer is also packed with actives, like vitamin C and niacinamide, that help improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation over time.
BPerfect Cosmetics, Bronze Boost Gel Drops (€16.99). The pioneering Irish brand is launching its latest masterpiece: the highly anticipated Bronze Boost Gel Drops. Unveiling a revolutionary lightweight hybrid liquid gel formula packed with light-reflecting pigments, BPerfect’s Bronze Boost Gel Drops blend seamlessly into the skin to deliver an instant, natural-looking tan that enhances your complexion without exposure to the harmful effects of UV rays. With its customisable depth of colour, you have the freedom to tailor the shade to achieve the desired result. Mingle with your favourite moisturiser, or apply onto the face directly for an instant bronze boost.
