Nothing says summer like sitting under an evening sunset with a glass of sangria in hand, looking like a tanned, luminous goddess. Stepping into the sunny months gives you the perfect opportunity to give your skin that much deserved rest it needs. A chance to put down the foundation bottle and focus on getting that sun kissed, golden hour glow we all crave. Even though holidays have been put on hold for the short run (*tear runs down face*), there’s nothing stopping you from finding the perfect skincare products to create an irresistible evening glow. So, at Voir, we’ve given you a helping hand to achieve that ‘I’ve just left the Mediterranean’ vibe we so desperately need. No thanks wanted.
Isle of Paradise Self-Tanning Drops£19.95Bronzed skin is the epitome of summer. It really screams “I’ve been lying on a beach for the past two weeks.” While the sun usually does the trick, there is nothing wrong in going faux. Self-tanning drops allow you to create that custom tan for a beautifully bronzed look. Just by simply working a few of the drops into your skin, you are beach ready. Top tip: Go gradually with this. We are looking for sun-kissed, not satsuma. Shop the product on Beauty Bay
Charlotte Tilbury Unisex Healthy Glow All-Year Hydrating Summer Tint Moisturiser£35.00No one likes harsh foundation lines, especially in the summer. It’s just not a look we want in life.

No cake faces here! Shop the product at John Lewis

M.A.C Strobe Face Glaze
£21.00
If you’re looking for one product to give off those holiday summer vibes, it’s highlighter. What we love about this glaze is that it gives off an iridescent, dewy glow without any excessive shimmer or sparkle that can sometimes look tacky. It contains ‘pearlescent particles’ to add dimension to your face. With this stuff, your skin is going to beam.
