We all make seasonal changes to our vanities, adding and deleting products according to the climate change as well as variation in social activities. Summer make-up in Pakistan most definitely needs to have to muscle to deal with soaring temperatures and perspiring faces, it needs to complement the pretty pastels and floral prints that most women indulge in and lastly, summer make-up kits need to have the ability to carry you through traveling schedules. Here’s our selection of eight awesome products that could transform you to goddess status; they may not all be available in Pakistan but then when will those visiting relatives come in handy?
Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess Summer Glow Multi-Palette
Tucked inside a chic gold compact,these three prismatic powders are almost too beautiful to use. You could get through the entire summer with just this palette; the soft-brown shade works as a bronzer but also as a great eye shadow. All you need to do is buff it all over the lids and up to the creases for a subtle nighttime look. The pink shade is great as a blush and the golden-champagne colour is beautiful as a highlighter to brighten up your cheekbones as well as the eyes.
YSL Mascara Vinyl Couture in Blue
You may have seen a lot of coloured mascaras coming up on make-up counters these days but none are quite as sexy as this one. First of all, whipping this crazy-chic tube out of your bag will make you happy. Simply. But it’s the rich, glossy pigment it’ll leave on your lashes that’ll convert you. It comes in a bunch of shades, but the electric blue should be your summer go-to.
Maybelline Master Strobing Stick Illuminating Highlighter
This ultra-creamy, pigmented formula easily glides onto cheekbones, the clavicle, and décolleté to add a luminous glow to skin. Instead of feeling greasy (like many other stick illuminators), the pearl-infused product dries to a more powdery, blendable finish. This super
product is available in two shades
Christian Louboutin Red Nail Extension
New for the season are these three shades of red, each with a different tone yet serious colour payoff. Perfect for casual and more formal occasions, the long-wearing, chip-resistant
formulas give a glossy finish with a single coat.
Korres Golden Krocus Ageless Saffron Elixir Serum
Beauty editors all over the world swear by this product! Korres’ newest anti-aging serum, they feel, is a (literally) shining example of a perfect product. The subtly shimmering, golden elixir is formulated with saffron. The extremely potent spice is harvested only 14 days out of the year from the crocus plant and is packed with powerful antioxidants to defend your complexion from free radicals. The serum also boasts moisturizing hyaluronic acid and firming peptides to leave your skin glowing. Use it alone or layer it with other products to make them work even better.
Hourglass Illume Sheer Color Trio
The start of warmer weather means more time out enjoying yourself, less time spent doing a 10-step contouring process. This new cream colour duo allows you to quickly contour, brighten and highlight by just using your fingers. The silky-creamy formula melts into skin and
imparts a gorgeous, natural glow. Use all three colours for full definition, or individually, for a wash of colour or light anywhere you desire.
Nuance Salma Hayek Natural Definition Tinted Brow Gel
Brows have been having a moment for the past few years and they’re still going strong if you know what we mean. Amp up fullness and tame brows with this all-in-one tinted gel that not only fills in sparse areas but promotes the growth of brows, thanks to the marine extracts found in the formulation.
Clinique Pop Glaze Sheer Lip Color and Primer in "Melon Drop Pop"
What could be more seasonal than a lip shad of the colour of a juicy summer melon? Clinique’s new Pop Glaze Collection offers a delicious tutti-frutti palette, like this Melon Drop Pop colour. The luxurious yet weightless formula merges bold, saturated colour with a smoothing primer. Glides on effortlessly to a modern-velvet finish. Colour stays true and keeps lips comfortably moisturized for eight hours. What more could you ask for?
