Luminous Look

Aguiar
Our Beauty Editor shares new trends of the season.
“Make-up is enhanced, eyes light up and lips sparkle... Gift boxes filled with happiness that arrive just in time to meet our needs.”
Both on the eyes and on the mouth, the classic tones of the cold season find themselves com peting with shades that until now belonged to spring and summer. On our eyelids, we exchange dark brown for vibrant and luminous colors, for example a pretty purple or pale pink. The trend is also to have fun with liner, which makes the look particularly attrac tive. On the complexion side, the luminous nude is worked with a CC cream, a hybrid formula between makeup and skincare, for a dew-like skin. This is a subtle and discreet way to sublimate it while leaving room for eye and mouth makeup, which is essential! Brown, burgundy or raspberry red, lacquered or matte pouts will be more popular than ever this winter. Take advantage of these trends to concoct a regal look at Christmas.

Effortlessly Chic
For their part, hairdressers inspire us by respecting each type of hair and by providing it with a healthy hyper-natural movement. The smooth effect seen and reviewed on the catwalks no longer seems to be a must and we are also noticing that long hair is coming back. Hair styling. We are offered sometimes wise, sometimes bold looks: waxed highlights, waffled hair, detached roots, gelling agents... Soft brushing is the place to go, but we are also daring the wet hair effect. This comeback of effortless style enhances primped hair but with no fuss.

FENTY HAIR The Comeback Kid Instant
Beauty by Marianna Hewitt LaurenIreland &
At a recent beauty event in Montreal, I had the chance to speak with Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Ireland, the young and sparkling founders of the American cosmetics brand, Summer Fridays. These two very cool influencers, with their luminous, well- groomed beauty, are as charming as they are talented.
By Vânia Aguiar
Q: Let’s start at the beginning. How did the idea for Summer Fridays come about?
A: We both come from the beauty and lifestyle world as content creators and have always been passionate about skin care. Summer Fridays was born out of our desire to create products that we wanted for ourselves but didn’t find on the market – products that were both soft and effective,
easy and enjoyable to use. So we set out to develop skin care that is a moment of relaxation in our daily beauty routine.
Q: What gaps in the market did you want to redress with Summer Fridays?
A: Very few of the skin care we tested yielded results while providing a pleasant sensory expe -
rience. We wanted to create products presented in beautiful packaging, pleasant to use and offering our skin the hydration and nutrition it needs, especially with all these trips that our profession means we need to make. The goal was to simplify skin care with versatile and resistant products that fit well into every person’s routine.
Q: For those who don’t have the pleasure of knowing, what is Summer Fridays?
A: Summer Fridays is a beauty brand specializing in skin care, dedicated to creating products that deliver immediate results and an optimal sensory experience. Our products are de -
signed to provide the epidermis with hydration, nutrition and radiance thanks to gentle, effective and easy-to-use formulas on a daily basis.
Q: What makes your brand unique?
A: What sets Summer Fridays apart is the combination of carefully selected ingredients, luxurious textures and instant results. We design multifunctional products that are suitable for everyone. The brand embodies this summer feel of simplicity, relaxation and rejuvenation. We listen to our community, which allows us to develop products that our customers really want.
Q: What is your target clientele?
A: Our customers care about the ingredients in their skin care products. They lead an active life and are looking for effective skin care but a simple application that allows them to relax, regardless of their age or skin type.
Q: Is there an iconic product in the range?
A: Our Jet Lag is a bestseller! Ultra-hydrating, it can be used as a moisturizing cream or as a night mask. It is perfect for anyone looking to deeply nourish their skin, especially if it is dry or tired. Non-comedogenic
and fragrance-free, its small size means that it is versatile and easy to take with you wherever you’re going.
Q: What are the three Summer Fridays products you can’t do without?
A: If we had to choose, we would opt for the Jet Lag Mask, lip balms and the FPS 30 Shadedrops mineral sunscreen. The Jet Lag Mask is our essential for hydration, lip balms are essential to maintain a well-hydrated pout, and our sunscreen offers optimal protection while being light on the skin.
Q: You are both passionate about well-being and health. How do you cultivate calm despite your overloaded schedules?
A: We establish routines that help us feel balanced, whether
SUMMER FRIDAYS Lip Butter Balm,
through a morning workout, moments of meditation or simply enjoying a cup of matcha or coffee in peace. Spending time with family and friends, keeping a journal or expressing gratitude are also good ways to stay connected to our values. We have found that doing our best to maintain these practices helps us to become more grounded in our daily lives.
Q: What was your first contact with the beauty industry?
A: Being beauty influencers on social media has allowed us to develop a unique perspective on what consumers are looking for and what they need when it comes to skin care. This experience helped us create Summer Fridays
because we had a direct knowledge of what works and what doesn’t. In short, we learned a lot from building our community over time.
Q: You seem to work well together. What makes you such good partners?
A: We have always had the same vision of what our brand would be and strong confidence in our individual strengths. We respect each other and our skills complement each other perfectly. Communication is natural between us and we know how to support each other, which has been the basis of our partnership since the beginning.

Saving Your Skin in Winter
Yes, winter is taking its toll and our skin, assaulted by the cold, is dry and even scaly, help! Looking for comfort in a face oil or moisturizer may seem like the only solution to remedy the problem, but there are a number of other things to know about your winter skin care routine. To prevent your skin from suffering as soon as temperatures drop, you must combine the right products and actions. For example: preserve your skin barrier, develop your nighttime routine, slow down exfoliation, fill up on antioxidants, avoid oils if you have oily skin ... Rich creams as you wish and vitamin D supplements are also essential. Discover the skin and body care ready to save your epidermis from the harshness of the season.
