Summer asks for a shiny, fresh and bright skin, with just a touch of color.
Make-up becomes lighter and less elaborated, because the weather is too hot and also because tan makes us more beautiful.
Beach Make-up
After winter, the sun and the sea invite us to chill, but this doesn’t mean that make up has to be banned.
Instead, with little precautions and right products we can be beautiful and flawless even at the sea, without stressing our skin.
Make up not only helps us to feel comfortable at the beach, but it can be also a friendly allied to defend our skin by the damages of the sun exposition. In fact most cosmetic products of the next-generation contain protective filters and moisturizers which help us to defend our skin.
For a right makeup let’s begin from the skin preparation. It’s very important to use a moisturizing cream with high protection from UVA and UVB filters, that will guarantee a perfect tan without damaging ourselves.
Modern textures available are lighter and easy to apply, avoiding the uncomfortable oily effect. Don’t be scared to use total sunblock, because your tanning will be gradual, without sunburns and it will last longer.
For those who want a touch of color, it’s important to use a BB or CC cream with a light texture and enlightening particles inside. They will make your face shine and your tanning will stand out. To Lay these products you can use a sponge or your fingertips.
They are very fluid and don’t leave stains. If you want a hiding effect, you can use a waterproof foundation, that will be like a second skin and will last even after a round of beach volley or a diving competition!
To lay foundation the advice is to use a brush or a sponge, because the stain risk is behind the corner.

For those who love blush or the enlightening products that give a fresh and healthy look, the creamy ones are perfect for summer, considering that “dusty effect” is totally banned.
For those who don’t like the shiny look, a veil of hydrating gel cream and a touch of transparent powder are the key to be always flawless without hiding the golden tan!
For the eyes, waterproof mascara is a must have, and for those who like eyeshadows, it’s possible to find some that are ultra-resistant in cream or stick. Same advice for those who don’t want to renounce to eyeliner even under the sun. Water proof is the code word.
Lips have to be protected too. The advice is to use a lip balm with sun protection factor and use your fantasy! Colored or naked lipstick, or simply a veil of colored lip balm.
Lip Gloss is not recommended: sea breeze could make your lips a mix of hair and sand.
A beauty secret to give freshness to your make up during hot summer days is to bring always with you the magic thermal water! A true remedy for your skin.
Small acts to be gorgeous…also at the beach!
