Holiday season is here (well, almost)!
With that in mind, we wanted to help take the pain out of packing, and highlight some summer holiday beauty essentials - because you do not need your entire makeup bag.
With great selection of multi- purpose suggestions and waterproof products, we’ve got your summer holiday makeup totally covered, with a number of product suggestions that won't cost an arm and a leg.
Mineral foundation
We are here to tell you that mineral makeup is the way of the future. Not only is it kind to sensitive skin, it’s also non-comedogenic - which basically means that it doesn’t clog pores and lead to blemishes like other foundations do. It also absorbs excess oil, which is ideal when you're in warmer climates.
NOTE Mineral Foundation is lightweight and offers high coverage with a fresh dewy finish - perfect for beach days and summer nights. Formulated with natural minerals, the NOTE Mineral Foundation is long-lasting aand contains SPF 15, so it is perfect for your holiday makeup bag! It's packed with coral seaweed, which contains rich calcium; magnesium and zinc, which care for the skin and create a natural healthy glow; and vitamin E, which protects your skin. Sorted.
Illuminator
We all want to look beautiful and sun-kissed on holidays, and that is why a handsome illuminator is a holiday must-have.
You will have an envious glow all summer long with Sleek MakeUP's versatile liquid Illuminators, available in four different shades to suit all skin types and tones. Sleek's Barekissed Illuminator can be worn alone, mixed with foundation, or applied directly to cheekbones, brow bones and the body to refresh and enhance your already gorgeous complexion, with light-reflecting pigments giving you a fabulous glow throughout the summer months.
Waterproof mascara
Summer holidays usually entail humidity and some lovely swimming in either a pool or the ocean, so a waterproof mascara is a must!
Wet n Wild Mega Length Waterproof Mascara delivers up to 80 per cent longer-looking lashes, and its special blend of waxes lavishly lifts and lengthens with amazing staying power. The waterproof formula stays on through unbearable humidity and, of course, swimming; making it an essential for your makeup bag this summer. Oh, and did we mention that it will cost you less than a fiver?
Colourful eye crayons
Sometimes, you just want a pop of colour when you're away, and that is where eye crayons come in handy.
Create a quick and simple eye look with KISS NY Pro Jumbo eye pencil that can be used as liner or eyeshadow when blended. The gorgeous folks at KISS NY are selling their Pro Luxury Eye Crayon, which is great for creating a multi-range effect, from bold to blended and from thick to thin, with rich pigments assuring maximum hold. It glides on smooth and is easily build-able with other crayon shades, and it’s waterproof – what’s not to love?!
Press-on nails
OK, so we can admit that we don't always have time to go out and get the nails done, but that no longer needs to be an issue.
Not only are imPRESS nails super-affordable (music to our ears), but they are also super-simple to apply and remove – making sure you’re saving time on your nails, allowing more time to play with the kiddos. There is no glue involved - just a simple press-on technology that will last for up to a week when applied properly, making them ideal for summer holiday nails.
Now, all you have to do is sit back, pop on your sunnies and enjoy you holidays!
