Pretty, Quick!
So much to see, so little time? With the right products, you can get gorgeous in an instant.
Why waste a minute of your precious downtime doing tedious things like going through your full makeup routine, when you could be relaxing on the beach, exploring local haunts, or meeting up with your other half or handsome islander at sunset?
Keep your look simple by picking just three of these items for a natural-looking, island glow. And when it comes to beauty, what happens in Hawai‘i doesn’t have to stay in Hawai‘i—these easy steps can be easily duplicated when you return home.
-
- The Sephora + Pantone Universe Color of the Year Collection puts the hottest color on your pucker. This season Tangerine Tango sizzles, with varying touches of gold to pink shimmer. $20 for the set at Sephora.
-
- Bare Minerals Skincare Advanced Protection SPF 20 Moisturizer: Sometimes all you need is a sheer tinted moisturizer to hydrate and smoothen out small imperfections. Apple and seaweed extracts provide the hydrating effects while mineral color delivers radiance. $30 at Macy’s Ohana Waikiki Beachcomber.
-
- Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on eye pencil: Goes on creamy and stays put (really!) for a waterproof cat-eye that lasts all day. The pencil comes in a wide array of colors, from basic black and brown, to summer shades of pink, yellow and blue. $19 each at Macy’s Ohana Waikiki Beachcomber.
-
- Illamasqua smudge-proof mascara ($23) shapes, lengthens and defines. For even more oomph, start with Urban Decay Eyelash Primer Potion ($20), which coats and curls lashes with buildable microscopic fibers. Both at Sephora.
-
- Victoria’s Secret Luminous Cheek and Face Highlighter: This glide-on, multiuse makeup must offers a touch of color and shimmer in one swoop. Choose from gold, champagne, pink or bronze colors. $14 at Victoria’s Secret.
-
- Charlotte Ronson A Summer’s Kiss Face and Body Glow: Weightless liquid bronzer gives skin an effortless shimmery, sun-kissed glow. The only thing better would be having your own personal lighting-effects assistant to tail you at every turn. But then again, maybe you won’t need one thanks to this light-filtering bronzer. $18 at Sephora.
