BEAUTY EDIT: Lips

Let's talk lipstick.  

Are you the every day type who throws on a swish of her favorite hue before stepping out of the house in the morning? Or do you save that suave look for special occasions, such as date night, ladies luncheons and weekend shenanigans? 

__________________________

Whatever your lipstick habits, the key to this post is that you find the right shade to suit you. Every girl should have a timeless pair of black heels, a blazer she can throw on to go to a meeting or pair with jeans for a dressed up look, a pair of sunglasses that compliment her face shape and last but certainly not least, a rouge lipstick to upgrade even the most casual ensembles. 

NOTE: When you're planning for "the big day" - and that doesn't just have to be your wedding, it could be your engagement party, birthday, or a big date - test out a few different colours based on what kind of look you are going for. A bold red will read just that, bold. Meanwhile a more pink hue will look romantic and sweet without being overbearing.

THE CITY SET: Top Tips on Beating the Summer Heat

Setting our sights on the fast pace fashionable cities of the world, we take a look at what the do's and don'ts of New York, London and Dubai's fashion set are. These women set stride looking poised, polished, and spot on trend in the dead summer heat - How do they do it? 

Let's find out...

"I got a haircut that put in a few more layers into my long hair to make it feel lighter (and slightly cooler), but allowed me to still keep my hair long. "

"With the humidity and heat during NY summers you can rarely have a good hair day. One way to turn the messy frizz into a fun look is putting leave in conditioner in your locks for a "surf babe do"!

The key is to wear airy and loose fabrics that won't show sweat marks or wrinkle, plus a slightly more relaxed fit tends to make one look slimmer. Linen and lycra based pieces tend to work great!

For the face, blotting sheets keep the shine at bay. Extra layers of powder just give a cakey look which looks extra heavy with the heat. Less is more when it comes to a fresh face in the summer."

"I walk a lot in the summer so try to always carry a bottle of water with me, I up the daily sunscreen factor to 50+ (am a big fan of La Roche Posays liquid sunscreen, which feels like water) and I wear a hat to keep the sun off my face. I also stick to open toed shoes, light colored and thin cotton or linen fabrics, and wear extra light lingerie by Nudwear to keep me cool and VPL free!"

"Four tips get me through my summers in London... I carry a bottle of sparking water with with me wherever I go - a refreshing and nice alternative to drink, rather than tap/still water. I wear a bright lipstick in the evening as it detracts from the sweat on my face. I carry Dyptique solid perfume with me it's small and smells great! I always carry 2 pairs of shoes with me (flats + high heels) so I am never caught off-guard. My favourite trick is to wear long earrings to take attention away from my sweaty face, alternatively I opt for large statement necklaces."

With the official start of summer comes a whole new beauty routine that requires less effort and more practicality; The Nüd-team's must-have summer essentials equip you to go from the pool to out to dinner seamlessly. Keep looking glam all day long this summer with our top picks:

____________________________________

1. A Cream Blush - 

With the summer heat, we know how hard it is to keep makeup in place. Skip the powder and opt for something creamy and luxe that will give your skin a good glow.

2. Moroccan Oil - 

Revive pool-damaged hair with this rich oil serum that will help you beat the humidity and keep your locks tamed. Bonus: it's good for your skin as well, so rub the left over on dry spots for an extra boost of moisture.

3. Nippies - 

Whether poolside or headed out in a light and breezy top or dress, Nippies are better than bandaids!

4. SPF 70 - 

Keep your precious skin protected with a 70 proof face lotion that doesn't weigh heavy on your skin.

5. Water-proof Mascara - 

Look glamorous by the pool and avoid the racoon eyes from mascara that won't hold up. A voluminous water-proof mascara can go from pool to pleasure in a snap!

6. Bra Converter Clip - 

Wear racer-back tanks and dresses this summer and avoid the problems of having your bra straps revealed. Simply slip on our 1-2 step clip for comfort and effortless style.

7. Rosebud Salve - 

Last but not least, a glossy lip finishes off your summer style. Keep your kisser moisturized and protected from the sun to ensure luscious lips all summer long.
