If you can’t contain your excitement for the upcoming warm weather, try this: start planning your makeup looks for the summer season with inspiration from our latest beauty editorial. Shot by Toronto-based photographer Jonathon Smith, the imagery is made up of festival-ready as well as more wearable, everyday looks dreamed up by makeup artist Nate Matthews.
Working with models Thilini Pradhana, Ani Swells, Chloe Chang and Chloe Christian, Matthews has showed us five different takes on summer beauty by using a mix of cult-loved products and some of the best makeup launches of Summer 2019. From Dior Makeup and YSL Beauty, to Charlotte Tilbury and Milk Makeup, watch us play and learn a few techniques from our editorial.
SUN GODDESS
A little bit of MAC Cosmetics’ Extra Dimension Foil Eye Shadow “Gold Medalist” on the eyelids and lips is enough to to turn heads.
DESERT TRAVELER
Get sun-kissed with the Fenty Beauty Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick in “Chili Mango” by using the Rihanna-approved draping technique.
NATURAL
No-makeup makeup lovers, create the perfect base with Tatcha’s Luminous Dewy Skin Mist and Dewy Skin Cream, Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grip Primer and the Dior Forever Foundation.
For a dewy glow and a flush of color, we used Charlotte Tilbury’s Glowgasm Beauty Highlighter Wand in “Peachgasm,” Dior Rouge Blush “999,” Tatcha’s Magnolia Bloom Camellia Lip Balm and Dior Addict Lip Tattoo in “541.”
Finish off the look with Milk Makeup’s new KUSH Waterproof Mascara and KUSH Fiber Brow Gel in “Diesel.”
FESTIVAL SPIRIT
Paint yourself some sparkly eyes with MAC Cosmetics’ Extra Dimension Foil Eye Shadow in “Lunar Metal” and Glossier Play‘s Glitter Gelée in “Phantasm.”
STATEMENT MAKER
Experiment with playful eye makeup looks, like the one pictured above using Glossier Play’s Colorslide in “Sparkle Shark” and shades from the limited-edition Dior 5 Couleurs Wild Earth “Sienna” eyeshadow palette. Our choice of blush-highlighter here is YSL Beauty’s newly launched Shimmer Rush Collector Blush Palette.
