LIGHTLY FLUSHED CHEEKS

Use a light cream blush or tint instead of powder to avoid streaking. Just

remember that while working out you will get the natural cheek colour,

so go easy on the cream blush.

Tip: You can also use your cream blush or tint on your lips.

When the mercury is climbing to

30 degrees outside, there’s a good

chance that a full face of makeup is

going to go to waste! If you want to

look fresh with the least possible

effort, apply a single splash of bright

makeup and you’ll look completely

put together (and totally on trend). To

pull off this hot look in the prettiest

way possible, remember the golden

rule, which is to keep the focus to

just one feature: eyes, cheeks, or lips.

You can always add further dazzle

with a vibrant top or accessory. It’s

the summer of colour — so dive in!

TINTED LIPS

When you’re working out, there

isn’t much worse than getting hair

stuck on your mouth due to heavy

lip gloss and lipstick! Lip tints will

give your lips a natural look, won’t

smear while you’re sweating, and

is super-easy to apply.

Tip: Don’t forget to exfoliate your

lips! As our lips get exposed to

different climate changes, there is

dead skin cell buildup on your lips,

causing them to become dry

and flaky.
