If you haven’t heard, we’ve blurred the lines between beauty and innovation and we invite you to discover our new customisable color-correcting powder bronzers and dual-toned lip tints this summer. 

Just in time for warmer weather, these new powder bronzers and natural lip tints are perfect for the summer months to enhance your complexion, get a glow and embrace your natural beauty.

If you’re looking to add warmth to your complexion regardless of what the forecast says, our new powder bronzers are just the thing. For a summer glow, use the warm shade, swapping to the cool tone in winter.

Want to get the most out of our bronzers? Our Head of Education Mel Barrese dives into our new glow-inducing powder bronzers below. 

HOW TO USE BRONZERS: QUICK & EASY 

“For a quick and easy bronzer application, simply dust a big brush through all three shades and apply to the areas of the face that tend to get color in the sun, such as the hairline, the bridge of the nose, the cheeks and the chin/jaw line. As well as getting a sun-kissed glow, the green pigment will help balance skin tone."

HOW TO USE BRONZERS: PRECISE CONTOUR

Don't forget you can also use each of the three shades individually, with a small cheek brush or a fluffy eyeshadow brush. I love to dust the light bronzer shade in the crease of the eye socket for a soft warm contour. For multi-dimensional bronzed look, go in first with the lighter shade on the areas where you tend to tan and then use the darker shade to build up a soft glow and definition under the cheeks.

If these tips haven’t already blown your mind, Mel has more pro tips for our natural lip tints to bring professional artistry to life with the dual-tone feature of our Hydra Lip Tint.  

Inspired by color mixology techniques used by professional makeup artists, each moisturising lip tint contains two shades which seamlessly blend together to create a new shade before your eyes. 

Ultra-hydrating, the nourishing formula, infused with Apricot and Peach Hazel Oil, will leave lips feeling hydrated for up to 10 hours. This weightless, moisturising lip tint enhances your natural lip color to leave you with a customized, luminous finish. 

Want to make the most of this natural lip tint? Hint: you don’t just have to use it on your lips. Below, Mel outlines her top tips for our Hydra Lip Tints.  

HOW TO USE LIP TINT: CREATE YOUR OWN COLOR

“For a more tailored lip color, our Hydra Lip Tints allow you to create a shade that matches your skin tone and look. Instead of applying straight from the bullet, use a small lip brush to load up on each color and then mix together on the back of your hand, adding more of a particular shade until you get the color you want and then apply to lips using the brush.” 

HOW TO USE LIP TINT: NO WASTE

Use whatever product is left on the back your hand to give yourself a soft blush look, by patting your Hydra Tint mix onto the apples of your cheeks.
