1 Tinted sun cream
If you’re pale and prone to burning this sunscreen is your new BFF! It has a high SPF but glides on smoothly and contains a complexion-flattering tint: Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF50+ Dry Touch (R219.95).
2 BB Cream
On darker skin tones, use a BB Cream that’ll even you out and still keep you protected with an SPF 30. We love Ponds Flawless Radiance BB Cream in Chocolate (R105.99).
3 Blush
The Benefit Benetint (R435) is a cult product for a reason! This lip and cheek stain adds gorgeous colour that just lasts and lasts.
If your lips are feeling a little dry, go for a lip balm like Lip Ice Shimmer Up in Strawberry Shock (R24.95). The bonus: it has a glittering finish.
If you only wear one makeup item, make it mascara. The Rimmel 24Hr Supercurler Volume and Curl Mascara (R139.95) frames your eyes but also curls them for extra pop.
For night, add some sparkle with Essence Crystal Eyeliner in Opal Blue-Heaven (R44.50). It’s long-lasting and gel based. Plus you can apply it to the tips of your lashes for a party feel!
7 Dry shampoo
Freshen up your hair, and add some texture with TRESemmé Instant Refresh Dry Shampoo(R59.95).
Take it all off with Garnier PureActive 2-in-1 Purifying Cleansing Wipes(R44.95) which can be used on your eyes and face. Perfect for oily skin!
It’s happened to the best of us! Pamper your sunburnt skin with Nivea Sun After Sun SOS Lotion (R64.95). It’ll give instant relief and calm redness.
