Now that we've got the outfit, let's complete the look with beauty products. My beauty philosophy is "less is more" when it comes to make-up. On the other hand, I do advocate products that enhance your natural features and preserve your natural beauty. As such, my list of recommended beauty products may not be as extensive as your freshly arrived April fashion magazine provides.
Make-Up
1. Lip Gloss
This should be a few shades pinker than your lips are naturally. The gloss should also ideally have a SPF to protect your lips from drying out or burning in the warm, sunny weather. I recommend Burt's Bees or the timeless classic - Lipsyll with some colour.
2. Cheek Colour
Just brush a little bit of blush or bronzer for some colour and character. As the summer months progress and the sun gives you a natural, healthy glow, you may not need this at all. Go with a pinky, peachy powder blush and a large brush.
3. Eyeliner
I recommend eyeliner only because it enhances your eyes...which are the proverbial window to your soul, right? Eyeliner should be used sparingly and always remember to remove it in the evening.
Natural Beauty Enhancers (as I have aptly named them)
But most of all, rely on your confidence, personality and uniqueness. Don't try to look like anyone else, just always try to be the best version of yourself.
1. Sunscreen!!!!!!!!!!!
Do I need to explain why you must wear sunscreen? Premature aging of your skin, wrinkles, skin cancer, burning - all unattractive at the very least. There are some great options to combine sunscreen in your daily moisturizer as well, particularly Aveeno and Oil of Olay. These brands both offer daily moisturizers with SPF 15.

2. Moisturizer
Use moisturizer everyday, consistently. Nothing will make you more beautiful than retaining your skin's youthful glow and elasticity. You should have at least 3 different moisturizers for your body, face and eyes as these areas all have varying needs. And let me stress again the importance of using a moisturizer with SPF.
3. A Great Conditioner
You don't need a million different hair products. To have healthy, naturally beautiful hair, eat properly and use a great conditioner. My favourite happens to be Burt's Bees (seeing a trend?) because it always leaves my hair smelling and looking great, while using all natural ingredients instead of a list of ingredients I can't pronounce or recognize.
4. A Smile
No explanation needed - everyone can agree that smiles are naturally attractive and beautiful.
But most of all, rely on your confidence, personality and uniqueness. Don't try to look like anyone else, just always try to be the best version of yourself.
