The melancholy of Indian Summer – the daylight is shifting and so are the leaves. The colours are changing from bright and fresh green to a more soft and golden glow. 

To hold onto those last days of summer and catch every last ray of sunlight, we don’t want to spend too much time in front of a mirror to get ready. Look and makeup need to be quick, easy and playful. The trend towards 3-in-1 beauty products that can be used as eye shadow, rouge and lip stain all together makes it easy to create an effortless-but-beautiful look for lazy summer days.

Only 3 Steps – Yay!

1) Most of those 3-in-1 products are cream based so the look is going to be dewy and modern. All you need is your moisturizer and a light foundation or – if you already have a perfect skin – just a hint of concealer to even out some dark under eye circles you might have.

2) Grab one of the Kjaer Weis Cream Blushes. There are 6 shades:

• Desired Glow – for a sun kissed glow, fits every skin tone
• Joyful – deep reddish colour, for darker skin tones or tanned skin
• Lovely – a warm pink that fits every skintone
• Blossoming – rosy colour for pale to medium-dark skin tones
• Abundance – a plumy colour  for pale to medium skintones, needs a perfect base because it will bring out every redness you might have
• Sun Touched – coral for everybody!

No brush needed, only use you fingers for application – the warmth of you fingertip will help to melt the product into the skin. Start with the eyes, adding color along the lash line. Blend up and out just past the crease. Continue onto the apples of the cheeks, also blending upward and outwards. Finally, apply blush to lips using a patting motion.

3) Finish the look with a swipe of mascara, but only on the upper lashes. Done!
