On the glow summer beauty: essentials for a vacation vibe at home and on the go

It’s been a strange year to say the least, and our beauty routines are no exception. Spring, summer, fall and winter came and went in such a haze along with major lifestyle modifications that many women chose not to wear make-up at all, much less switch out make-up colours to suit the season. In fact, the no-make-up look appears here to stay for a while, which makes perfect sense for summer when a fresh and healthy complexion is the star attraction.
      What you can do differently, especially if you are getting reacquainted with make-up, is experiment with shades of nude and dewy highlighters to get the right sheen for the occasion. Glow it up or glow it down, as the occasion requires. Plus, keeping your skin, hair, and body in tip-top condition makes wearing less of anything less stressful and more fun.
