Part I: Forget Beach Babe, Be A Beach Goddess




It's sunny (sometimes too sunny), things are getting hot n' heavy but your make up is melting, your hair is frizzy and you feel everything but sexy. We've all had a similar experience so make sure the next time you pay a visit to the beach you take these beauty tips with you!

- Make sure you apply the appropriate moisturizer, lip balm and SPF before putting any make up on; the 60 year old you will thank you for it one day, I promise.

- Make up professional Jemma Kidd believes in the 'bare as you dare' principle; why not try and stick with sheer tinted moisturizer instead of foundation for a more natural glow?

- waterproof, waterproof, waterproof!

- It is best to use neutral but shimmery eye shadows just applied lightly on the eyelids. Try and stay away from black eye-liners; going to the beach is the perfect time for coloured eye-liners like this or this! I love using gold eyeshadow, it looks amazing on tanned skin especially if you're a dark olive skinned girl like me!

- Bronzers are my go-to cheek colour because of the sun-kissed glow they leave on you, but honestly, if you tan well (not burn too fast) you could give the bronzer a day off.

- For girls who burn easily, you don't have to hide under tree shadows; just make sure to bring your stunning shades and cute cover-ups!

- For lips, go with colour that will complement your tanned/blushing skin and make sure it's light and fresh-looking.


This is the first post in the "Forget Beach Babe, Be A Beach Goddess" series. Next time, we're going to take a look at how to maintain frizzy hair, keep your hair moisturized & cute hairstyles for the beach!

Till then,
