To stay gorgeous while basking in the sun and chilling on the beach, check out these globe-trotting picks for your long-awaited beach holiday
Bikinis, check. Sunglasses, check. Sandals, check. With your obvious beach vacation essentials sorted, it is time to move onto packing travel grooming goodies.
While relaxing amidst swaying palms and sandy beaches allow us to get sun-kissed and feel energised, it is often hard to stay fresh and polished with all that sun and saltwater. Don’t sweat it – we have picked out the eight of the best beauty products for you to stay Baywatch-chic throughout your getaway.
Estee Lauder – Pure Color Shimmering Nudes Eyeshadow
Pull off an effortless beachside look by working these eight nude shades. Ranging from sweet rosy gold hues, soft pinks to glowing corals, the matte shades can create definition on eyes or as an all-over face highlighter. For a chilled drink in a bar by the sea at night, create a more amplified look by applying the three metallic shades wet.
Dolce & Gabbana – Luminous Cheek Colour (no. 38)
In case you didn’t manage to get the perfect tan you wanted, create a subtle luminous glow with this dainty shade. Available in 13 alluring colours, the portable brush featured in each blush allows you to touch up easily during your travels.
Helena Rubinstein – Lash Queen Sexy Blacks Waterproof Mascara
Your eye make-up can stay drip-free even if you go for a dip in the sea – a reliable waterproof mascara is your best friend on a beach holiday.
Boasting a volumising formula, this magical wand will boost your lashes with a unique curving effect. Housed in a sleek and classic flask embellished by black lace? flowers, this product serves as an essential accessory in your makeup pouch.
Gucci – Eye Impact Longwear Pencil
When lounging by the pool with a freshly shaken margarita, don’t let the cute lifeguard catch you without eyeliner. Waterproof with an intense dark shade, this simple make-up tool will help you pull off a natural holiday look.
Tom Ford – Lip Colour Matte (Tease 03)
Adorn your pout with this light-medium pink for a girly yet subtle look with a satin finish. Its creamy formula and a cushiony application will keep lips kissable.
Clarins – UV Plus Anti-Pollution SPF 50
Although you’re trying hard to build a tan, this doesn’t mean you can skimp on sunscreen. Effective sun care is the key to a sun-kissed and healthy glow.
Specially developed for Asian skin, this multiprotection sunscreen protects skin from harmful UVA/UVB, pollution and free radicals. Available in three shades, including rosy glow, translucent and fairness, it offers an ultra-lightweight, barely-there texture which will keep your skin moisturised yet non-greasy.
Giorgio Armani – Crema Nuda
In a tropical climate, we tend to be reluctant to wear thick foundation due to high humidity and temperature.
Featuring a lightweight texture, this tinted cream aims to smooth away fine lines and pores while allowing the skin to ‘breathe’. While the product offers a natural and satin-matte finish, you will also be delighted by the fast-absorbing formulation and hydrating feeling. It also comes in six shades – don’t be afraid to wear a lightly darker tone such as Soft Glow to create a subtle sun-kissed look.
Gucci – Bold High-Gloss Lacquer (Sunburst 060)
Lastly, don’t forget to adorn your nails with a sweet shade of pink. Featuring a triangular-bristle brush, this nail polish offers a high-gloss finish that will stand up against that gritty sand and saltwater.
