An article I did for a natural & organic beauty & skincare retailer recently.
Summer brings with it a dose of colour, warmth and feeling of ease that is uniquely felt this time of year. It’s the perfect time to experiment and inject a much-needed hit of brightness into your makeup routine. Here are our tips to make your eyes shine this season… First, with the sun and warmth also comes – unfortunately - dehydration and, for some of us, hayfever. Keep eyes energized and fresh with Alba Botanica Green Tea Eye Gel. It’ll help stop puffiness and dark circles, as well as firm the area all in one go. If you’re concerned about the overall health of your eyes, Terranova’s Eye Support Complex will be perfect for you. Each capsule contains bilberry, a powerful antioxidant proven to support the maintenance of healthy eyes, circulation and connective tissue.
Once you’ve taken care of the overall health and wellbeing of your eyes, it’s time to move onto the fun stuff – make up! Firstly, try a concealer to cover any darkness and brighten the surrounding area. We love Pacifica Transcendent Concealer. Tap into the skin with the ring finger to give good coverage and protect the thin, delicate skin.
Make-up is an easy way to reflect the season and update your look. Channel your inner mermaid with Beauty Without Cruelty Sensuous Mineral Eyeshadow Loose in Envy; the sea green shade will really compliment brown and hazel eyes. If you’re after a more subtle look, try the colour Serenity. The golden sparkle reminds us of hot, sandy beaches! Pacifica’s Eye Pencil in Bare is a handy little product that helps create the appearance of wide, energized eyes when used on the waterline, but can also be used to neaten lips by outlining them.
