FACE MISTS THAT ARE TOTALLY WORTH YOUR MONEY

-

It took me a minute to come around to face mists, which—let's be honest—may appear to be nothing much more than atomized H20 to many of you. In short, a total waste of time and money. But hear me out: the ones you’ll see here are brimming with skin-loving ingredients, calming Rosewater, and even water from the French Alps. Just ONE spritz on my just cleansed and bare face was enough to change my life (and skin) forever. How you ask? Well...it instantly makes me feel revived, comes to my rescue at work when all I want to do is a nap after lunch and cools, soothes and hydrates my complexion when I need a midday pick-me-up. Ahead, a bunch of facial mists that you are bound to love: 1. AVENE THERMAL SPRING WATER Think of it as water, but with supernatural powers. It’s packed with skin-softening silicates and has a balanced dose of Calcium and Magnesium that work together to improve skin's texture and strengthen its barrier. Plus, its pH level of 7.5, ma...

TRANSITION YOUR MAKEUP FROM WINTER, ‘CAUSE SUMMER IS COMING

-



Just like we spruce our closets with the advent of every summer, our makeup routine also needs a thorough shake-up as well. So, as much as we adored donning eyes and dark berry lips all December, we can’t wait to clear out our vanity kits and get them summer-ready. All it takes is a few intelligent tweaks in the form of waterproof formulations, lightweight textures, and cheery hues to make the shift to ’em sultry months oh-so-easy; not to forget, products with SPF benefits that are a big bonus. 



Ahead, we give you tips on how to adapt your makeup to the warm sunshine instead of sweating it all off!

Airy Base

Simply put: The hot, humid weather leaves skin oily, greasy and super heavy. The best way to work around this is to opt for a base that’s light, airy and won’t clog those pores. For starters, swap those uber heavy foundations with a BB cream such as the Nykaa SKINgenius BB Cream SPF30 that corrects, hydrates, repairs and protects your skin from sun damage. Alternately you can also opt for a tinted moisturizer like the Faces Canada Ultime Pro Peaches N Tinted Moisturizer that gives your skin a hint of fresh peachy color without weighing it down.


Pro Tip: To avoid the weather-worn mess, it’s best to go naked. Just dab a bit of L.A. Girl Pro Conceal HD under the eyes and on areas of concern with a finger.








Melt-Proof Your Eyes

If you don’t want to end up looking like a raccoon, then sweat-proof formulas are non-negotiable. We happen to like the Kay Beauty Liquid Eyeliner in Bespoke Blue that is smudge-proof, transfer-proof and defines your eyes beautifully. As far as eyeshadows are concerned, paint your lids with a blend of pinks, oranges, golds and other warm hues that reminds us of tropical vacays and endless pitchers of sangria. Our pick: The Lakme Absolute Infinity Eye Shadow Palette in Coral Sunset that can be mixed ‘n’ matched to create a melange of looks.


Pro Tip: Instead of a black/brown mascara, opt for a clear mascara such as Wet n Wild Mega Clear Mascara to avoid any unsightly mishaps.








Catch The Sun

If there’s one thing you can OD on during summers, it’s the not-so-humble highlighter. However, instead of the regular liquid and powder highlighters, we recommend choosing a gel textured one, that’s tailor-made for warmer climates and suits every skin type. We love the Lottie London Hy-Glow Jelly Highlighter that gives cheekbones a blinding wet-look finish in just one swipe.


Pro Tip: For a sun-kissed look, you can also swipe on a light-weight bronzer such as the Physicians Formula Murumuru Butter Bronzer for a naturally warm, glowy effect.








Summer Lip Love

A spike in the temperature can leave your lips seriously dry and flaky—something that doesn’t bode well with any kinda lippy. Hence, it’s always important to use a scrub such as the ENN Cinner Lip Plumping Scrub + Balm that buffs away flaky patches and moisturizes for a soft, plump pout. Next, choose a water gel tint such as The Face Shop Water Fit Lip Tint to create a natural flush that lasts all day. You can also go bare and opt for a clear lip gloss such as the Rimmel London Oh My Gloss! Lip Gloss - 800 Crystal Clear for a minimal chic look.


Pro Tip: Invest in multitasking Formulas such as the Nykaa New Molten Matte Lip & Cheek Colour Liquid Lipstick that has a mousse-like texture and can be used both on your lips and cheeks.
