A hairdo without a hair dryer, make-up without your favorite lipstick and nail art with just one nail polish – this situation can occur on a vacation. Moreover, it does not prevent you from creating a beautiful and striking image.
Hair
In the summer you do not want to expose you hair to hot air from the hair dryer or the hot curler. When going on vacation, you do not need to bring gadgets for heat styling because there are at least three ways to style your hair this summer without using a hair dryer.
1. Beach wave without heat styling
And without an expensive texturizing spray. The hair should be slightly damp, towel-dried, but not wet. Take a little hair oil and spread it on damp hair. Wait until the product is completely absorbed. Then pick up thin strands of hair, make twisted strips and attach them with a hair clip. Keep at least 1 hour. As a result, you will get a wavy texture. Your hair will look natural.
2. Wavy night hairstyle
Wash your hair in the evening before bedtime. Slightly dry it with a towel. Braid loosely. 4 braids is enough if you have thick hair, 2 – for thin hair. The next morning you will wake up with a slightly wavy shiny hair.
3. Smoothing with a conditioner
Hair conditioner in the summer plays a double role: it moisturizes hair and can become a good styling tool. Moisturized hair does not curl from heat and sweat; it remains smooth and shiny. It is best to use a leave-in conditioner for smoothing and moisturizing hair. If you do not have such a product, then there are alternatives available: for example, one time a week, you can sleep with the oil in your hair, then wash your hair and enjoy its brilliance and a moisturized effect all week (in this case, you can wash your hair every day, oil treatment has a long-term effect). Another variant of a homemade leave-in conditioner: mix a conventional conditioner and a lightweight styling gel. Do not apply to the roots, only the ends and the lower part of the hair.
Makeup
In the summer, especially on holiday, you want to experiment with new makeup shades and styles. At the same time, you do not want to take the whole makeup bag with you on a vacation. You can use multifunctional products and an optimal palette.
1. BB-cream or CC-cream instead of all foundation products
A primer, concealer, moisturizer, foundation – all these products can be replaced by only one modern multifunctional product. You do not need brushes or sponges to apply it – it is applied as a usual day cream. Another bonus of BB-CC-creams is the sunscreen effect.
2. Powder – only for oily skin
Those who have normal, dry or combination skin, do not need powder. Feel free to leave it at home.
3. Bronzer for all occasions
You can use a bronzer instead of eye shadows, blush and even foundation. A creamy product best copes with these tasks. It is more resistant and can be easily mixed with a moisturizer, BB-cream and any lotion. The intensity varies depending on the thickness of coating. Spread the product with your fingers or a damp sponge.
4.Two shades of lipstick
You need just two shades of lipstick in your makeup bag to create a variety of images. One shade – a dramatic, saturated (raspberry, plum, ruby) and the second – bright and light one (coral, rose, carnation). Mix them together, apply one of the products on the cheeks or eyelids, and even illuminate the tips of your eyelashes.
5. Natural creamy liner
A nice creamy liner of a natural dark brown color will replace your eyeliner, eyebrow pencil, and even mascara (the stick can be applied even on eyelashes).
Nails
The usual nude or classic red manicure looks rather boring on a vacation. You want diversity without wasting too much time. Here are some cool and simple solutions, choose the one for yourself:
1. Nail stickers
Buy a set (or a few) fun nail stickers and enjoy their design. For the joy to last longer, always secure the stickers with a transparent protective enamel.
2. Mini enamel sets
These are generally sets of four matching shades. They take up about as much as one bottle of the usual volume. How to wear them? Each shade is meant for a separate nail. This style is popular on a vacation.
3. One bright color
Select neon ones! Paint the whole nail plate – you will get a dynamic style. Do the edging along each nail – you will get an elegant design. Make a moon manicure with just one color – be a super-trendy lady.
