When the sun comes out to play and temperatures rise, it’s time to rethink your daily beauty routine—and no, we don’t mean by popping on SPF (you should be doing that year-round).  That’s right: just like you shift from wooly jumpers to sundresses, as the seasons change, so too should your beauty regimen—for reasons both practical and aesthetic. 

Summer is all about lightening things up; think luminous skin, soft textures, and a more pared-back approach to beauty. This isn’t the season for heavy foundation or complex contour, neither are friends of humidity, and will feel thick and heavy on your skin on even the coolest summer days. Instead, the brief is a regimen that makes it look as though you’ve *just* stepped off a beach, with a glow that rivals the sunset (even if you’ve barely left your couch). It’s all about playing up your natural features with sun-kissed highlights, a hint of flush on the cheeks, and a pop of colour that says, “I just swiped this on in the Uber here.”
