Looking underdressed at a bar is the ultimate confidence killer. Add a day at the beach beforehand, and your image is probably on the dodgy end of ‘windblown chic’.
Chances are you’re sporting sunburnt cheeks, knotted locks, and have sand in places it should definitely not be – you’ve probably already resigned yourself to the fact that going from beach to bar just isn’t possible.
Well, keep reading and we guarantee you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Enter the second most attractive lifesaver on the beach – your beauty bag….
Hair: Dry shampoo is a must-have if you’re going from beach to bar, and we love Batiste Diva Dry Shampoo. It’ll absorb grease, give your roots some body, and leave your hair smelling fresh. Couple it with TIGI Bed Head After Party Cream to combat frizz, and your hair will be relaxed, smooth, and shiny.
Skin: Face wipes are the ultimate beach bag beauty essential if you’re considering going straight out to a bar as they’ll remove sweat, salt, and sand in seconds. They promise to leave you feeling refreshed, can double as body cleansing wipes, and are infused with aloe vera to soothe sun and wind burn. Try: Bodyography Face It Cleansing and Soothing Wipes.
And since your skin is now feeling fresh, it’s the perfect time to re-hydrate with Garnier Miracle Skin Perfect BB Cream. It’s the love child of moisturiser, foundation, and illuminator and evens skin tone, corrects blemishes, gives you a natural glow – and is even infused with SPF 15. What’s not to love?
Make-up: If you don’t feel complete without a little bronzer, face powder, or blush, Australis Face-A-Holic is the go-to product for you. It’s all three products combined into one, and even comes complete with a mirror for easy application. Finish with a delicate line of Australis IntensifEYE liquid liner for smudge-proof colour, and with two coats of Benefit BADgal Lash Mascara. The result? Sun-kissed, sophistificated style.
