CHEAT A TAN<br />
Give your cheeks a<br />
golden glow the safe way,<br />
by faking it. “Bronzer is<br />
great for making your<br />
eyes look brighter<br />
and your teeth<br />
whiter, while also<br />
adding warmth to<br />
your complexion,” says<br />
Bridget. “Apply to the high points of your<br />
face including cheekbones, chin, nose and<br />
forehead for a sun-kissed glow.”<br />

6TRY A GEL<br />
“Let go of brow pencils in the summer<br />
as they are prone to melting and try a brow<br />
gel instead,” says Bridget. Want to ensure your<br />
look stays all day? “Set your brows with a little bit<br />
of hairspray,” advises SJ Froom. “Spray onto a<br />
brow brush and comb through the hairs, upwards<br />
and outwards.”<br />

LOOK AFTER<br />
YOUR NAILS<br />
Heat can play havoc<br />
with your nail polish<br />
collection leaving your<br />
favourite shade gloopy<br />
and difficult to apply.<br />
“Sometimes your nail<br />
polish can go a little<br />
thicker in the warmer<br />
weather and be harder to apply but do not<br />
make the mistake of adding nail varnish<br />
remover to thin it, as this will make the<br />
polish weaker and chip easier,” says Mavala<br />
hand and nail expert, Lynn Gray. “Add in<br />
a professional polish thinner to restore to<br />
the original condition.”<br />
“It’s also worth knowing that with<br />
prolonged wear of darker shades, your<br />
nails can take on a slightly stained yellow<br />
look in the summer. To avoid this, it<br />
is important to always use a base coat<br />
– not only does this protect, but it also<br />
moisturisers the nail plate.”<br />

LESS IS MORE<br />
That goes for everything,<br />
we want to see those<br />
freckles! For those who<br />
are confident enough,<br />
forego any base make-up<br />
and simply touch up any<br />
blemishes with a little<br />
concealer. “Then apply<br />
a finishing powder to the t-zone,”<br />
says SJ Froom. “It will gently<br />
absorb oil and help to minimise the<br />
appearance of fine lines and pores.”<br />

DRINK UP<br />
Don’t forget to hydrate your skin<br />
throughout the day. “Summertime<br />
is prime dehydration season so it<br />
is important to top up your moisture reserves<br />
by drinking plenty of water and replenishing<br />
your skin with rehydrating skincare,” advises<br />
Emma. “You’ll plump, smooth and rejuvenate<br />
skin in no time.”<br />

BE BRIGHT<br />
AND<br />
BEAUTIFUL<br />
“Have fun with<br />
colour,” says<br />
Emma Leslie,<br />
beauty expert at<br />
escentual.com.<br />
“Winter is brilliantly<br />
suited to rich dark<br />
tones but summer is<br />
the perfect time to flirt<br />
with brighter hues that<br />
will come to life in the<br />
sun.” Think coral and<br />
vibrant pink lip stains<br />
or why not try a green<br />
gel liner to really make<br />
eyes pop?<br />
