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
The holiday starts at the airport, and feeling fresh throughout your flight is key. Airplane air con can be very drying, so pack your bag with hydrating skin saviours. Boots and Superdrug are your go-to spots for refreshing face mist, moisturiser, lip balm and hand cream, or head to Arran Sense of Scotland to discover their luxurious travel sets and take a bit of home on holiday with you. To keep the pep in your step, energy-boosting vitamin B can be great as a pre-emptive strike against jet lag too!
Beach-to-bar beauty
When it comes to holiday beauty, it’s all about products that are travel-sized and easy-to-apply so you can take them on the plane AND keep them in your holiday bag for touch-ups too. Think a sheer, luminous base plus pops of colour to create the perfect summer make-up look! Head to John Lewis for high SPF options to keep you sun-safe, while KIKO has a stunning metallic range that can be applied easily on-the-go. Want to keep the sun-kissed look all holiday long? Add in a few drops of glow oil too!
Festival-inspired finishing touches
We’re big fans of the ‘quick win’ festival accessory – aka easy finishing touches that are so pretty, you don’t need to worry about styling. Claire's is perfect for bright necklaces, while Accessorize features a stunning sand-and-sea-inspired hair clips, jewellery pieces and more! For one-of-a-kind festival gems, head to Charity Super.MKT and discover a treasure trove of pre-loved scarves and shawls for easy festival hair days, while Pop Specs is the place to go if you're searching for eyewear that pops!
