THE HOT WEATHER MAKEUP ROUTINE YOU'LL WEAR ALL SUMMER
Sunny days are great. Makeup sliding off before lunchtime? Not so much.
When it's hot outside, it's easy to think you need more makeup to keep everything in place. In reality, lighter layers usually work much better. The right products help your skin look fresh and glowy without feeling like you're wearing loads of makeup.
This routine is all about lightweight formulas that feel comfortable from your morning commute to after-work plans, keeping your makeup looking fresh, glowy, and ready for whatever summer throws at you.

THE HOT WEATHER ROUTINE
Step 1:
Start with Hydration
Glass Skin Primer
Warm weather doesn't always mean wearing less makeup. It just means choosing lighter products that do more. A lightweight primer helps create a smooth, hydrated base so you can use less makeup overall while still creating an even-looking finish.
Apply a small amount to your cheeks, forehead, nose and chin, then gently blend it into the skin with your fingertips. It smooths, hydrates and helps the rest of your makeup glide on more easily, leaving your skin looking fresh from the very first step.
Collection tip:
Let the primer settle for about 30 seconds before moving on to your next step. It gives the formula time to grip the skin and helps everything blend more smoothly.
Step 2: Fake
the Holiday Glow
Bronzing Drops SPF 30
You don't need lots of bronzer to get that just-back-from-holiday glow. Bronzing Drops add warmth and glow with a lightweight formula that's easy to build and blends effortlessly into the skin.
Start with one drop and blend it into the areas where the sun naturally catches your face, such as your cheeks, forehead, and the bridge of your nose. If you'd like a little more warmth, simply add another drop. The formula blends easily with your fingertips, so you don't need to worry about harsh lines or getting it exactly right.
If you prefer an even softer look, mix a drop into your moisturiser or foundation before applying for an all-over warmth that's easy to wear every day. You can also add a little colour to your collarbones and shoulders if you're wearing sleeveless tops or summer dresses.
Collection tip:
One drop goes a surprisingly long way, so build your glow gradually until it looks just right.
Step 3:
Summer-Proof Your Mascara
Lash Lift Tubing Mascara
Smudged mascara can undo a fresh summer makeup look in minutes, especially on warmer days. A tubing mascara coats each lash to create length, lift and definition without worrying about smudging or flaking throughout the day.
Starting at the roots, gently wiggle the wand before pulling upwards through the lashes. One coat creates a soft, everyday look, while a second coat adds extra length without clumping.
Even better, when you're ready to take it off, it removes easily with warm water, so there's no need for harsh rubbing after a long day in the sun.
Collection tip:
Focus most of the product at the roots of your lashes. It creates the illusion of fuller lashes while keeping the overall look light and natural.
Step 4:
Lock In Your Glow
Glass Skin Setting Spray
When your makeup starts looking a little tired, resist the temptation to keep layering on more powder. Instead, add a refreshing spritz of setting spray to bring everything back to life.
Hold the bottle around 20cm from your face and mist evenly over your finished makeup. The fine mist helps everything blend together, bringing back a fresh, glowy finish without adding another layer of makeup.
It's ideal for refreshing your makeup before heading out after work or spending more time in the sunshine.
Collection tip:
If you've been out in the sun all day, a quick spritz helps refresh your makeup without adding another layer of product.
THE FINISHED LOOK
Lightweight, fresh-looking makeup that still feels comfortable on your skin. By choosing breathable formulas and building your routine in light layers, you can enjoy a natural summer glow without your makeup ever feeling heavy. Whether you're heading to work, meeting friends or making the most of the sunshine, it's an easy routine that works with your skin, not against it.
