VOL.3 ISSUE 6
editor's Note Dear Readers A very warm (literally) welcome to our summer issue and our final issue of our third volume. In England this year, we’ve had a few heat waves. Seeing the masses of people flock to the parks in central London to sunbath was indeed quite a sight. When summer comes, we just can’t help but feel the urge to be outside, to enjoy the warmth of the sun on our skin. The seaside undoubtedly was equally if not more popular in this heat. I therefore dedicated this issue to the wonders of the sea, sun and sand.

In this issue, you will find fashion stories that celebrate the different elements of summer shot in some unique locations. From the gorgeous turquoise waters paired with glistening sequins (Sequins by Ilaria Gambi p.44), to the infamous waters tanks high on the New York skyscrapers (Suijin by Kriti Bisaria p.4). I am very excited to share with you these works from amazing creatives. I hope you enjoy this issue. Happy summer and may it continue to give you inspiration!

The vibrant orange, pink and purple hues are everything we love about summer nights wrapped into one eye catching makeup look
SUNSET EYES To create this look start by priming your eyelids. A good eye primer will ensure your eye shadow will stay put throughout the day. Nars Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base is a lightweight eye primer that creates a seamless canvas to keep cream and powder eyeshadows looking brilliant, fresh and just-applied. The Natasha Denona Sunrise Palette is the star of this makeup look. Housed in a stunning coral red palette, this 15-pan palette inspired by the warm glow of a morning sunrise features hues of sunny yellows, crimson corals, earthy browns, burnt oranges, powerful purples and fuchsias, all made to melt together in perfect harmony.
Take this eye look to the next level by adding a touch of INC.redible You Glow Girl Iridescent Jelly in ‘Flocking Fabulous’ to the eyes. This cool flush of blush shade flips as the light hits to an iridescent ultraviolet glow. A silky, smooth formula, it is easily applied to your eyes, brow line, cheeks or lips for a quick fix all day radiance. Give this look a sophisticated modern edge with a slick twisted top-knot hairstyle. Achieve the look like a pro by using Defining Gel by Revlon Style Masters, Modern Hairspray by Sam McKnight, Total Volume Foam and Final Shine Spray by ghd.

GOLDEN GLOW Interject a touch of glamour into your makeup with a hint of gold eyeshadow for a look that is quick, light and luxurious. Following a heatwave of new heights this summer, beauty took its cues from the weather and showed us sun-kissed skin, beachy wind-swept hair and a healthy, well-rested glow. The Bella Sofia Luxury Palette by Charlotte Tilbury is all you need to create a gorgeous golden smoky eye. Four blendable, buildable, colour-coded shades that can be dialled up or down for any occasion.

For a glowing, natural, perfectly bronzed complexion, stick to cream and liquid products.
The light velvety finish of the Chanel Soliel De Tan Chanel cream-gel bronzer melts into the skin and leaves it with a beautiful sun-bathed look. Pair this with the Nars Liquid Blush in ‘Orgasm’ for a radiant flush and tie this look together by adding INC.redible Iridescent Lipgloss in shade ‘Mermaid Tantrums’ a warm copper with a subtle touch of deep pink shimmer. To compliment this dreamy makeup look, pair it with a beachy wave hairstyle by using Beach Spray by d:fi, Cool Girl Texture Mist and Modern Hairspray by Sam McKnight.
GLASSY SKIN Beautiful skin never goes out of style. This summer’s complexion trend is all about skincare and minimal foundation for that radiant just-returned-from-a-facial glassy skin. We are becoming more and more obsessed with the latest skincare products, as we’ve learnt a flawless makeup look starts with well prepped looked after skin. In fact, skincare products are taking up more space in our dressing tables these days than makeup! Start by applying Pixi’s FortifEYE Firming Eye Patches, these are an absolute dream for anyone who gets tired puffy eyes and dark circles. These potent hydrogel patches deliver much-needed moisture while helping to fortify, lift and energise leaving you with smooth, plump, hydrated and refreshed under eyes. For an extra soothing cooling effect, keep them in the fridge!
Pixi’s FortifEYE Firming Eye Patches £22
If you’re skin is feeling a bit dry or tired, Evolve Organic Beauty Hyaluronic Serum 200 is the serum you should reach for. Not only is it 99.3% natural, it’ll get rid of all signs of dehydration and is like a big drink of water for parched skin. Apply it before any moisturiser to hydrate skin from within and plump up fine lines and wrinkles. Yves Saint Laurent Top Secrets Instant Moisture Glow Ultra is dual purpose nourishing cream and makeup primer. This wonder product acts as an anchoring base for makeup for all day comfort while providing ultimate hydration for a radiant glow in seconds. For this look, less is more in terms of foundation. MAC Studio Face & Body Foundation is a lightweight sheer foundation that is perfect to achieve this natural effortlessly perfect base. To give the skin that extra glassy sheen, mix Linda Hallberg’s Infinity Glass with Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector in ‘Moonstone’ and apply to the high points of the face, eyelids and lips. This is the perfect duo for that lit from within dewy effect. To further enhance this makeup look, slick the hair either straight back off the face or for something more romantic try a soft finger wave. Achieve the look by using Modern Hairspray by Sam McKnight, Defining Gel by Revlon Style Masters and Final Shine Spray by ghd.
