Seven easy style tips to get you through the season

How to own an orange lip

There’s something about warm weather that makes bright tones so appealing. It’s also the perfect time to update your lipstick to a hot hue like this orangey red — it looks great on all skin tones. Just remember: If you go for a bold lip, keep the rest of your makeup minimal.

How to cleanse with care

Any skincare expert will tell you that cleansing is one of the most important steps to healthy skin. But for some, it can leave skin feeling tight and irritated, so it’s key to choose the right product for your skin type. This unique formula contains calendula-flower extract, known for its soothing and medicinal properties. It gently cleans away dirt and oil without stripping sensitive skin of moisture. We love how the creamy gel formula foams up the instant it’s mixed with water.

How to rock a visor

Say goodbye to hat hair with this season’s hottest headgear. Designers are serving up this tennis classic in unexpected shapes and textures, giving you a good excuse to take it off the courts and onto the streets.

How to pencil it in

Gone are the days when your only option was a black pencil eyeliner. Now there are tons of formulas that’ll have you lining your eyes like a pro. From long-lasting gels to dramatic ink liners, the newest options come in a rainbow of colours.

Tip: Powdery eyeshadows will mute the colour of the liner, so apply shadow first, liner last!

How to pamper your skin

How to get shorty

What could be more perfect for a summer weekend than a great pair of shorts? Dressed up (with a crisp white shirt) or down (with a simple tank), this tomboy classic is so well priced you’ll want a pair in every colour.

Shorts, $25, Old Navy.
