Summer is here and we’re here to help you feel your fiercest! Read on for our top holiday beauty tips on everything from staying fresh for your flights and keeping your make-up looking perfect from the airport to the hotel, to simple beauty hacks for summer nights and festival-inspired accessories to complete your look...
Travel bag essentials
Holidays start at the airport, and keeping hydrated throughout your flight is key! Airplane air con can be drying, so pack your bag with your new go-to skin saviours. Head to Boots and Superdrug to stock up on everything from refreshing face mist and moisturiser to lip balm and hand cream – plus, travel-sized dry shampoo is ideal for keeping hair in check too! To keep the pep in your step, energy-boosting vitamin B from Holland & Barrett can work well as a pre-emptive strike against jet lag.
Beach-to-bar beauty
When it comes to holiday beauty, it’s all about easy-to-apply products that are portable enough to fly with AND sneak in your bag for touch-ups. Think a sheer, luminous base plus pops of colour for your perfect summer holiday make-up look. Head to Boots and Superdrug for high SPF options that will keep you sun-safe, as well as cream blushes and eyeshadows that are perfect for applying on the go. Looking to keep the sun-kissed look all holiday long? Add in a few drops of glow oil to your beauty routine too!
Festival-inspired finishing touches
We’re fans of the ‘quick win’ festival accessory – aka finishing touches that are so pretty, you don’t need to worry about styling. Claire's is perfect for bright statement necklaces, while Accessorize is bringing the beach to London with sand-and-sea inspired hair clips, jewellery and more. For super stylish bad hair days, Oliver Bonas has a stunning range of lightweight scarves that can be worn multiple ways. Need a pair of eye-catching specs to finish the look? Eye Emporium is your go-to place!
