Summer is in full swing and the heat requires a complete re-vamp of your beauty routine. Not sure where to start? We've asked a few of our staff members to share their favourite beauty products for summer and here's what they had to say.
CELINE – COLOR
Hi! My name is Celine, and I'm 18 years old. I've always been interested in makeup, especially more colourful and creative makeup such as SFX. I'm always the first person that reaches for colourful palettes. My kit consists of roughly 30% natural and nude products while the rest is all colour-coded. I love experimenting, whether it's hair dye, eyeshadow, liners, or lipstick. I have to add a splash of colour to my look somehow. Otherwise, I don't feel like myself!
BH Cosmetics Paris Eyeshadow Palette - By far, this has become my daily palette that I reach out for. Specifically, the shade "Arc De Triomphe" is amazing as an all-over duo chrome, and the pigments glide on like butter.
Revlon Lipstick - Black Cherry - I live for a 90s grungy look, and this lipstick is perfect for that vampy effect!
Relove Volume Mascara - Blue - This mascara is frequently in my hands to match my hair, whether it's on my lashes or on my brows, it's incredibly pigmented and is amazing for a splash of colour now that summer is here.
GRACE – SKINCARE
Hi, I am Grace! I have been working Lucy for the last 3 years now. Makeup is something I have always loved and been passionate about, but skin care has always been a religion for me, something that I never stay without. I believe healthy-looking skin is essential for glowing skin and make up to stay longer and nicer.
Skin Generics Anti-aging Retinol Serum- it increases skin cell production, increases collagen production, reduces appearance of fine line and wrinkles making the skin look fresh and plump.
MARYLYN – MAKEUP
Hello! My name is Marylyn. I have been working at Lucy for almost four years. I have always loved the beauty industry and working at Lucy has made me love it even more. Mostly because of the variety we have available at our outlets of different brands. You will never stop learning about new brands and products while working here.
We don’t know about you but nail care is one of the ultimate forms of soft self care for us, and spring is when our nails need it the most. After a long winter of festive reds, deep jewel shades, and a cascade of glitter, going back to basics with something simple and cute is so cathartic. Here’s ten super-cute nail looks to get yourself ready for spring (psst! if you don’t have time, why not book a nail day for yourself at our store?)
As the weather gets warmer, we’re spending more of our time outside, switching up our wardrobes to fit these brighter days, and more importantly, pivoting just a little bit away from our winter glam and glitz to bring some of that spring softness into our makeup moments. And with fashion shows rolling out across the world - did you catch Pat McGrath at Maison Margiela? - there’s a lot of inspo to go around.
The weather’s getting warmer, the days are getting longer, and you know what that means: day trips, brunch dates, and all things outside - and there’s nothing worse than planning a day out and realising midway through that all your pictures from that time have faded lipstick (or worse, smudged lipstick!)
