Summer Lovin’

From colour pops of zing to an au naturel ‘weekend face’, we show you the most exciting make-up trends, this summer

27 October 2014

Go ahead and sizzle with these new must-try make-up looks.

CORAL BRIEF
A pop of tangerine or a hint of coral is on-trend to brighten up your look, day or night. If you have a fair skin tone, choose a pink-orange lipstick. The darker your skin tone, the more vibrant the shade of orange you can pull off. But keep eye make-up minimal. A high ponytail completes this effortless, but head-turning look.
For Your Lips
We recommend Revlon Colorburst Matte Balm in 245 Audacious (R130), and Catrice Longlasting Lip Pencil Waterproof in 090 Reach the Peach (R32.95).
For Your Cheeks
We recommend Essence Blush Stick in 030 Miss Peachy (R47.95), and Essence Blush Up in 10 Heat Wave (R67.50).
For Your Perfume Collection
Lancôme La Vie est Belle EDT 50ML (R865)

BRONZE AGE
For a ‘no make-up’ make-up look with a bronze twist, mix nudes and bronzes for the best results. For this look, replace your standard BB cream with Stila’s Stay All Day 10-in-1 HD Bronzing Beauty Balm. Enhance the glow with Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi-Use Dry Oil for face, body and hair. It absorbs instantly, giving you radiant skin and shiny hair.
For Your Face
We recommend Revlon Photoready Skinlights Face Illuminator in Beach Bronze (R125), Stila Stay All Day 10-in-1 HD Bronzing Beauty Balm SPF 30 (R445), and Max Factor Skin Luminizer Foundation in 60 Sand (R199.95).
For Your Eyes
We recommend Stila Eye Shadow Trio in Bronze Glow (R295), and Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara in Black (R349).
For Your Perfume Collection
Dior Addict EDT 100ml (R1 495)

GREEN WITH ENVY
This year’s shade for eyes: exotic green. Go easy on the rest of the face. For fair skins, try dark, seaweed tints. Apply highlighter on inner corners to intensify the colour. On darker skins, green reads as blue. Apply with a damp brush along the lash line and blend till diffused. Spritz sea salt spray onto hair for textured beach waves.
For Your Eyes
We recommend Essence Eye Sorbet in 03 Illuminating Kiwi (R53.95), Rimmel Scandaleyes Eye Shadow Stick in 007 Gossip Green (R89.95), and Stila All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Moss (R225).
For Your Nails
We recommend Toy Nail Polish in Turquesa (R99).
For Your Perfume Collection
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Honeysuckle EDT 100ML (R345)
