Apart from party season, the only other time most of us break out of our make-up routine is on holiday. Make the most of it by wearing shades you wouldn’t dare wear in the office; mandarin lipstick , lilac gloss and green eyeshadow to name a few. It doesn’t have to be teen with these pointers; keep it sophisticated with products that are high on sheen rather than glitter. Keep the colour to one area (so either eyes or lips) and ramp up the bronze with shimmer-infused powders and luxe body oils. It’s time to play, are you with us?
