Summer has landed! it might only last a few days but at least we can all be ready for the warmer times that are hopefully here to stay.

1. Prepare the Pins
Have your legs been hiding under jeans and tights for what feels like an eternity? Well it is time to grab the razor/wax/removal cream and de-fuzz! There is no better feeling than silky, smooth, hair free legs.

2. Get a Glow
My top tip is gradual tan moisturiser. It is so much easier and nicer to apply than normal fake tan and it kills two birds with one stone. Tan and moisturise in one step. It will give you that gorgeous glow without being too over powering. Make sure to exfoliate to get an even application though.

3. Change Foundation?
I always feel like I need a heavy matte coverage in the Winter and a much lighter dewy finish for Spring/Summer. Remember you may need to change your shade too if you are wearing fake tan.

4. Ditch the Berry Blush
I love deep blushers but it is time to reach for the lighter pinky shades and corals for the Summer. I will be toning down the contour and using a lighter bronzer teamed with a shimmery blush rather than a strong contour colour and highlight :(

5. Brighten the Lips and Nails
As with the berry blush it's time to move away from both the deep lips and nails too. I will be going for more pastel colours on my nails and pink nude lips.
