We think summer is about having fun outside with your friends and soaking up the beautiful weather, plus we get to wear cute sundresses, strappy sandals, messy beach hair and a new pair of sunglasses for every mood. Whilst it’s the best time to get that summer glow on, there are a few things about those really hot summer days that can be a downer when it comes to makeup. Let’s be real, we want to spend more time enjoying the sun without our products melting off our face. No need to worry beauties we have your back!

The trend this season that we are loving is ‘less is more’, keeping the look fresh and natural while making those eyes pop and shine in the sunlight! These four simple beauty hacks will help you achieve this, best yet, you’ve still got a couple of weeks till summer to practice. We all know practice makes perfect 😉

1.  Gold and glam
A golden smokey eye using earthy shimmery tones will brighten and lift the eye area. This look is made easy by using the Real Techniques Bold Metals Pointed Crease Brush. The densely packed, tapered soft bristles give it a luxurious feel. Blend golden bronze colours all over the lid, when the sun hits they will shimmer. 

2. All about that line
Overloaded eyeliner will close off your eyes. Using the 1000 Hour Xpress Lash-Gro Eyeliner, simply apply a thin layer near the lash line to define the eye and enhance the appearance of lashes, oh and don’t forget a little wing at the end. The Xpress Lash-Gro eyeliner will help you to achieve a crisp thin and precise line. It also has an eyelash enhancing serum that will improve the appearance of eyelashes length, thickness and fullness. 

3. Lashes for days
We often think ‘fake’ with false eyelashes. 1000 Hour Demure lashes will instantly create a beautiful natural look. They are super easy to apply and wont give you any of those annoying mascara clumps. Hello Sailor lashes will definitely make your eyes pop! They are perfect for day time or dinner and drinks with friends in the evening. 

4. Up your brow game
Eyebrows can make or break an entire look. 1000 Hour Eyelash & Brow Dye Kit will give you the definition needed to complement your eyes. This kit is a non smudge permanent colour applied in 3 easy steps. Treat yourself to a lash & brow colour at home for a fraction of the cost of a beauty salon!

There you have it. You can now look fabulous and spend less time on your beauty regime, which means more time to enjoy the more important things like lazing about on the beach in a bikini sipping on a pina colada
