SUMMER IS BACK AND SO IS

IN-STORE SHOPPING! The last two years have been challenging when it comes to picking the perfect cleanser or mascara, but we are back in the beauty aisles and cannot wait to try the top recommended products by you, the beauty experts. Each year we put the power in your educated hands to select the year’s best in makeup, haircare, nail care and of course, skincare (and more!). Check out what made this year’s list (page 25).

I will be saying hello to summer with these perfect peachy hues (page 18) and dancing my way through summer festivals in head-to-toe glitter, thanks to this all-over trend (page 19). You will also find the latest way to stay cool in your skincare routine using cryotherapy (page 21) and a new form of hydration through cactus water (page 65.)

I’ll be taking my tips to bright heights with these at-home manicure musts, perfect for upcoming weddings and poolside hangs (page 11). Makeup for every occasion (page 12) and skincare to perfect even the most stubborn complexion (page 14) are all backed with the summer’s perfect roundup of must-have SPFs (page 16).

Make sure you check out Salut Beauté (page 46), where our beauty editor Vânia Aguiar shares the latest trends – in French.

Whether you are spending your summer on the beach, at the cottage, or festival hopping, we hope you find just what you are looking for – and more – in this special awards issue.

Happy Summer!
