Summer is close upon us, and that means mentally and physically preparing ourselves to ensure we look our best under the sun.

 

Perfect base

When dealing with foundations, it can become a very stressful situation because there are so many different formulas, let alone all the variety of shades there are. Having said you, you may still be unable to find your perfect colour, in which case you will have to buy two foundations and mix them to create your own personal match. It’s vital that you buy for the type of skin you have too, not just what colour the bottle is. For example, if you know that you suffer from dry skin, you don’t want to have a powder base as that will only clingy to your dry areas, drawing even more attention to them. You will want a dewy liquid foundation so that it looks hydrating and fresh. This will create an overall flawless look. If you know that you suffer from regular acne, or have red blemishes, or even pigmentation over the skin that causes light and dark spots, then you may want something of a fuller coverage, compared to a light BB cream. Or you could even implement the likes of colour correctors to achieve a better complexion altogether.

 

The highlight

What better time to promote a glowing highlight than when the sun comes out? This is where it matters most because the light will want to bounce off your face, and a highlighter reflects it in the most beautiful way. As highlighters have gotten more popular, they have been created in many different formulas. They were most commonly a powder, but they now come in creams, liquids, and gels. While powders are efficient, that can sometimes stick a little and it can look rather cakey, and you want to avoid this at all costs. Liquids are a good option for the summer because you will only need to use a tiny bit of product, and it’s very easy to apply. You don’t even need a brush or a beauty blender, you can simply put a little product onto your finger and dab it onto the tops of your cheekbones, along with your brow bone, down the center of your nose, and on your cupids bow. If you have a darker skin, golds and bronzes work best, whereas if you’re rather pale, a silver-tone will be better suited.

 

Hair health

Ensuring that your hair is healthy is one of the best ways of showing your love. Let’s face it, our hair goes through an awful lot what with all the colouring and heat we put on it. This is why it’s so important that you look after it as best as you can so that it doesn’t stay a damaged mess, as that is never a good look. Use as little heat as you can, opt for air drying your hair after washing it. And if you do need to straighten, curl, or blow dry it, make sure that you use a good heat defense all over so it minimises any damage that is caused. Hair masks are a great way to keep everything conditioned and hydrated too so that is doesn’t get too dry – especially once the sun starts to make an appearance. If you find yourself suffering from some unexpected hair loss, whether that be due to damage or stress, Veta hair growth shampoo can be used in your regular hair care to stimulate your scalp and create new hair follicles.

 

Lash extensions

A lot of people say that there is no need for lash extensions because falsies do the same job and can be removed whenever they wish, and applied whenever they wish. While this is very true, if you know you are going away on holiday for a few weeks – extensions are ideal. Bear in mind that you will be very hot under the sun all day, you will sweat, and get wet by the pool or in the ocean. You may not even find yourself wearing a lot of makeup during the day because of this, only opting for a full makeup look in the evenings. But you may feel a little too bare, and the window to the soul is your eyes, so making them pop is always advised. If you don’t want to be messing around with mascara, or trying to apply strip lashes while you’re hot and sticky, then extension are exactly what you need because you don’t have to do anything. Just get them applied a couple days before your holiday, and you’ll have stunning looking eyes without having to lift a finger.
