Sugar Tuesday

Summer beauty is all about healthy glowing skin. Here we’ve done the work for you.

iStyle has everything you need for head to toe radiance to carry you through these warm summer months that work for almost every skin colour.

FACE

For a more natural look, great for daytime, we started with Chanel Teint Fluide Universel Foundation in #50. It’s great coverage for hiding flaws, without covering the skin. Next, we took Mac eye shadow in Bronze to cover the eyelid, blending it into the crease and underneath the rim of the eyes....no need to fuss, applying it with a q-tip works great, just remember to blend until you can’t see where the colour starts or ends. Next we took Mac eye shadow in Amber Lights and applied it in the middle of the eyelid and also the middle of underneath the eye. For that glowing skin, we then applied Mac Belightful Iridescent Powder to the most protruding parts of the face: cheekbones, middle of the forehead and the chin. The mascara of choice was Maybellines Lash discovery in Very Black. We finished up with Bronzer, Bronzed Fx in Bronze applying it with a large powder brush, only where the sun naturally hits the face, across the bridge of the nose, tops of the cheeks, forehead and chin. Finally, the most perfect pinky brown lipcolour, Delux Beauty Lipstick in Eugene, was used to present that au naturelle pout.

EYES

The last thing we want to do in the summer is fuss with our makeup. No problem! To achieve this stunning evening look, all we did is take the natural daytime look Vida is wearing and lined her eyes, top and bottom in Mac Eye Kohl in Smolder, blending it with the same eye shadow she is already wearing with a q-tip. We then took Mac Lip-gloss in Gold Charm for her lips and her eyebrows.

BODY

Our favorite summer product that no woman should be without; St. Tropez Instant Tanning System from Beauty Mark. It is an easy to use kit that comes with a bottle of Instant Self Tan, for that natural tan without the orange, and almost completely goof proof to use. The kit also comes with a bottle of Body Moisturizer and Body Polisher to keep your natural looking tan last longer. We added Belightful Iridescent Powder by Mac to Vida’s highlight points of her body, the shoulders, the collar bones, shins and feet. Matching her nail polish with Delux Beauty Nail polish in Trixie, available only at Beauty Mark, for that polished look that is so stunning with open toe shoes.
