Summer of Beauty Lovefest

As the summer heat intensifies and we embrace the spirit of love and self-expression, finding the perfect beauty products to create a modern groovy look can be quite a challenge.  No matter if you’re festival hoping, glamping or just relaxing poolside, a summer of love beauty routine needs to focus on withstanding the challenges that summer brings, especially humidity!

Fashion Reverie reached out to the experts at Beautyque NYC, Tom Ford Beauty, and KISS to gather some insider recommendations on unlocking your modern groovy beauty potential.

According to the team at Beautyque NYC, “one key element of a groovy [summer] look is a captivating and shimmering pout. Staygolden Cosmetics’ Glitter Lip Kit is the perfect solution for those who want their lips to shine with boldness and longevity.”  Available in a range of stunning colors like So Fairy, a peachy pink, and So Bae, a diva inspired rose gold, this lip kit offers a “sex-proof, food-proof, and liquid-proof formula, ensuring your lip color stays intact throughout the night.”  This sparkly lip kit is perfect for those looking to make a statement without worrying about running to find a bathroom and reapplying every 10 minutes!

Stay Safe in the Sun

Sun protection should really be a non-negotiable for everyone.  The sun can cause extensive damage so it’s so important to start with a base with SPF protection like, MyCHELLE sun Shield Liquid SPF 30.  This tinted sunscreen provides a flawless finish while protecting from damaging UVA/UVB rays.

Plus, it does not contain retinyl palmitate or chemical UV absorbers including octinoxate, octisalate, oxybenzone, or PABA. It’s made without parabens, petroleum, phthalates, silicones, sulfates, ureas, artificial fragrances, and artificial colors!

With a single palette, you can effortlessly transform your style for any occasion. Pair it with Code 8’s blush for a natural flush of color and their BB Cream for a flawless and radiant complexion.”  Want even higher pigmented colors? Use the primer as a base and wet your brush for a look that’s groovy and all your own!

Light Up on the Go

A summer of love might transport you to overnight festival grounds or other less than ideal locations for getting ready. Not to worry, The MegaPuff, a solar inflatable lamp allows you to utilize the power of the sun to get the perfect makeup lighting.  You can even choose between multiple options of warm and cool light for the perfect on the go beauty set up, but it’ll do more than that, it’ll light up your whole space!
