Daylight Can Be Rather Unforgiving….

…So we’re bringing you some blurry beauty products that will help to soften the harshness of sunlight. Let’s enjoy the bright, beautiful weather (that’s apparently on its way!) and embrace the light that can feel heavenly on the skin, but often show up all the cracks….

When it comes to great beauty products, we’re not trying to turn back time, but we do want to slow down the ageing process and enhance and illuminate our skin… And let’s not forget that we’re also hoping to mask any minor imperfections, such as pigmentation, dark circles, blemishes etc. Oh, and if it’s not too much to ask, we want the makeup we use to stay on our faces all day!!

Up first is a product from a brand that’s relatively new to the beauty market and has recently landed at SpaceNK. Rare Beauty, by American celebrity, Selena Gomez, is a surprisingly ‘wow’ collection of staple makeup items and we think the best of the bunch is the Positive Light Tinted Moisturiser Broad Spectrum SPF 20 - £26. This featherlight fluid is oh so glowy but not sparkly, and it makes skin look beautiful and flawless with a warm tint of light to medium coverage. We also noticed how beautifully it glides on, giving a lit from within tint. And with hydrating ingredients and vitamin E, there’s no tell-tale cracking, just the illusion of flawless skin. It’s available in 24 shades and reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines whilst blurring the skin for a natural-looking, radiant finish. You must try it if you’re in need of a new tinted moisturiser, or you’re looking for a lightweight summer foundation.

So that’s blurring on your face sorted…what about your body? When it comes to blurring skin on your arms and legs (and anywhere else in between!), we think it’s hard to beat Vita Liberata Body Blur, £30. We loved the old version and now we love the new and improved one too…and we know you will aswell!!

Body Blur really does conceal and blur minor imperfections (V’s legs don’t see the light of day without it!), whilst also hydrating with ingredients such as shea butter and aloe vera. This water and transfer resistant body makeup boasts nourishing ingredients to promote a healthy skin barrier (and we love prevention skincare!), and thanks to light-reflecting technology, it creates a long-lasting natural radiance that can be washed off at the end of the day. Woop woop!!

We love ‘on-the-go’ beauty, and can’t get enough of L’Oreal Paris True Match Concealer Eye Cream SPF20, £9.99. Not only is it a bargain, but this wonder wand instantly brightens and illuminates the under eye area, whilst also hydrating and revitalising this delicate skin. It’s definitely a product to pop in your bag on a long summer’s day, and to reapply often, to refresh but also protect against sun damage, and conceal and blur any imperfections.

And let’s not forget that warmer weather can often mean melting makeup, so we’re here to help yours stay on that much longer. Grab yourself a primer that promises to last the course, keep your makeup where it should be, and keep shine at bay. Our favourites are Smashbox Photo Finish Control Mattifying Primer Silkscreen Complex, £12, which is a lovely, lightweight silky veil that ensures skin stays matte and excess oil is kept in check, and Nars Smooth & Protect Primer SPF50, £30, which blurs, smooths and protects, and leaves skin looking and feeling amazing.

Love & blurry, hazy summer days,

Mala & Vikki xx
