Make-up drops
The secret to an endless summer glow
SUMMER is ending, but you don't have to give up your sunkissed glow just yet. In fact, with the help of these bronzing make-up drops, you can keep shimmering all the way into autumn. Make-up drops are the ideal way to customise your favourite beauty products and add a little glimmer to your complexion. They can be used directly on the skin, or added to moisturisers and foundations for a truly unique finish. If you want to accentuate your summer tan or simply prolong your happy postvacation glow, check out some of the drops below.
Cover FX Cover FX was arguably the brand to kickstart the make-up drops craze a few years ago with its line of “Custom Cover Drops” – a series of make-up drops which creates customised foundation coverage. The brand has since extended the concept to highlighters, and its “Custom Enhancer Drops” offer a luminous finish in shades ranging from pearly pink to striking gold. To stretch summer out, try “Sunset”, for a deep, sunkissed bronze.
Tarte Feeling nostalgic for the beach? Invoke memories of the ocean with Tarte's new “Rainforest of the Sea Radiance Drops”, which are designed to give you a “healthy, mermaid glow”. The drops can be rubbed directly into the skin, blended with foundation, or even applied under lipstick for a fresh, dewy look.
Sephora Collection Sephora Collection's “Radiant Luminizer Drops” come in three different hues – a luminous pink, a champagne tone, and “Ultralight”, a shimmering bronze. When dabbed onto the cheekbones, browbone, or any other area you'd like to highlight, they add a subtle but summery glow.
Algenist Clinical skincare brand Algenist got technical when creating its “Reveal Concentrated Luminizing Drops” , a trio of serums that contain gold pigments and ultrafine pearls for a softfocus shimmer. The “Champagne” hue will have everyone thinking you just got back from the beach.
The Body Shop If you're not keen on too much shimmer, try “Honey Bronze Drops of Sun” from The Body Shop, which promises a naturallooking, matte holiday glow. It can be applied directly to skin or combined with foundation. – AFP Relaxnews
