pink high
While nude lips are de rigueur, if you prefer a little colour, go all the way with shocking pink. This pretty, feminine shade is what you’ll need to add a dash of summer colour to the bare-faced make-up style that’s in vogue this season.
shy blush
Forget about brushing blusher on your cheeks liberally. Instead, opt for light strokes for a natural, fresh look. A great tip from make-up artists is to dust a brownish shade onto the hollows of the cheek lightly. The trick this season for face - less is more.
eye take
Metallic shades in silver and gold are all the rage, in keeping with a key fashion trend this season. Dress your eyelids with lots of metal moments and add a dash to the tip of the lids as well as under them (the way you would apply an eye liner).
pony tails
Gwen Stefani certainly has the élan to pull it off. And so can you - in a fresh, energetic, and bouncy ponytail. Perfect for warm weather, hair stylists recommend an active-lifestyle look that’s practical and that exudes panache. Wear it long and straight or opt for a curl at the end.
flirty coquette
Full lashes for a sexy, seductive finish. It's not an either/or scenario, as make-up gurus extol the virtues of an incomparable combination of false eyelashes and layer after layer of mascara for heightened effect.
flawless face
Natural-looking skin is the rule. So, instead of dollops of foundation, apply only a smidgeon for the desired look, Ditch your compact powder, and hide the dark circles under the eye area with a matching concealer that offers enough cover.
nude + natural
Nude lips will never go out of fashion, but this season they are celebrated. Lip colours on international catwalks scream “IN” with lashings of nude and beige. Go natural, from day to dinner, varying only in gloss to shimmer for extra shine.
touch up
Women with little time or energy adore the compact beauty idea, so opt for nifty 2(or more)-in-1 kits. From shampoo combos to lip-cheek-eye colours and bronzed moisturisers, pick up these multi-make-up kits for easy application on the go.
subtle hair
Rinse the blonde right out of your hair, as trends dictate a softer style. Keep your well-conditioned stresses free of chunky streaks and garish contrasts. Instead, enhance your crowning glory in a soft shade of nuances that faintly blend.
up do
If your long tresses begin to annoy, just lift them all up into a trendy yet simple up-do, as hair stylists rave about this hip alternative. Skip the sleek, sophisticated bun of yester-years and stick to this deliberately messy, tousled teaser
