Don't let the rain decieve you. Summer is here. Which basically divides us ladies in to two basic beauty groups. Those who strive for the sunkissed / bronzed / oompa loompa glow and those that accept their natural fair / easily burnt / vampire skin.
Whether you seek your beauty inspiration from magazines, websites or the movies you've no doubt noticed the plethera of tips to turn you in to a beach babe - from bronzers and bright colours to stylishly unkempt hair. But what about those who don't want to, or can't, pull off the golden summer hues?
Nothing says youthful and fresh like an English Rose. Dewy skin, flushed cheeks and rosy lips scream natural beauty and is an easy (and virtually effortless) alternative to the Bronzed Beauty.
Australis' new Lip and Cheek Combo is "a multi- tasking cream blush and lipgloss duo that is easy to blend and provides a light feeling natural look." And natually we're going to be putting it to the test!
So talk to us about your summer look. Are you kissed by the sun or are you pale and interesting? Do you strive for one look, but find it unobtainable?
That looks fabulous. I like the summer tan moisturisers for the body and use a good sunscreen elsewhere but I do keep my face out of the sun so need a bit of help to keep everything even. Unfortunately when I was growing up there was no such thing as sunblock so have got a fair bit of sun damage. We just need to move on from thinking a tan is a healthy look but sometimes too pale looks a bit insipid, a little colour is needed to give that healthy glow.
