Heat It Up

It’s safe to say that ever since January 1st I’ve been done with Winter. I can only handle so much pale skin and knitwear before I start daydreaming about sipping a Mai Tai by the pool – I can’t help it, I’m a summer junkie! So yes, I admit, I’ve been scrolling through SkyScanner every day and I’ve been adding an ungodly amount of bikinis to my ASOS basket, but I’m only human. Don’t judge me.

Winter makeup was all about the cool, earthy tones for me. Matte skin, fluffy brows and mauve shades were my go-to, but now I’m totally ready to switch it up and start playing around with some new looks ready for when the sun comes back out (come on girl, I see you, you can do this). So when I was scrolling through my favourite makeup artists’ Instagram the other day (the incredible Ariel Tejada, otherwise known as @makeupbyariel), I remembered the amazing look he did for Kendall Jenner last summer in Cannes. He gave her deep bronzed skin, soft eyes and a gorgeous bright orange statement lip. The makeup screamed ‘Summer glam’ to me and I just had to recreate it.
