This month MAC Senior Make-up Artist, Cher Webb, is sharing some invaluable tips to ensure you’re looking and feeling like a natural beach goddess…

With summer being upon us, a revamp of your make-up bag including some essential sun care products will help you achieve your gorgeous natural summer look… 

For a gorgeous natural beach look on your holiday, go for make-up that is barely even there and will look effortlessly chic.  Soft bronzy bohemian looks will be easy to achieve and look great in your holiday snaps!

It is essential that you look after your skin and protect it in when under the rays. Prepping the skin before make-up will leave your skin feeling nourished and bronzed, rather than burnt and sometimes uneven.

Always protect your face with a high SPF, you can always use a bronzer to slightly darken your skin if you feel you need it. Try MAC Prep + Prime SPF 50 , this innovative primer will reduce redness and make the skin look gorgeously glowing and smooth whilst protecting it with an SPF of 50. This primer looks great under make-up and keeps it on for hours.

If you feel you would like some coverage on your skin when on the beach, try using a tinted moisturiser that will look super natural and healthy looking -just like skin. Try MAC Studio Moisture Tint SPF 15. Keep a bronzer handy and dust this over the skin if you are feeling shiny throughout the day.

If you feel your body could do with some extra colour and coverage, try MAC Face & Body. This unique formula smoothes on the skin, leaving it looking even, smooth and blemish free. It’s also water resistant, and looks fab on legs. 

For the eyes, try a natural base that is quick and easy to apply and will not crease. MAC Paintpots are a cream non crease eye shadow, try Groundwork or Barestudy for subtle skin tone shades. Always curl your lashes! This makes a huge difference and instantly opens the eye, with or without mascara.  If you want to wear mascara, go for waterproof. 

Make sure you are protecting your lips in the sun as they can dry out and even blister when in the sun. Try using a lip conditioner that has an SPF and contain conditioning vitamins, this way your lips will look luscious and are having a treatment at the same time! Try MAC tinted lip conditioner, this comes in 4 gorgeous summery shades. Gorgeous bronzy, peach and gold shades look gorgeous with tanned skin and are super easy to apply and are a hot trend this summer. 

Happy Holidays!
