The four easiest ways to update your look this month

1. Draw the line

Go for a sultry summer evening look by playing up your eyes. Start with a black pencil and line all around the eye. Then trace over the upper lash line with an ink liner and extend the line past the outer corner to create the “wing.” Smudge the lower line with a bit of black eyeshadow and finish the look with a couple of coats of mascara. For extra drama, use a kohl pencil on the inside water line.

2. Go for the glow

Add some summer colour to your complexion by mixing a few drops of this foolproof self-tanner into your daily moisturizer. It’s easy to adjust the level of colour, to build the intensity of your glow or to let your “tan” naturally fade away by skipping it for a few days.

3. Pick a sporty tote

Game, set, match to this elegant roomy tote. The textured leather, clean lines and perfect proportions make it an instant classic!

In a rush? Swipe on a bright gloss or tinted balm, throw on some cool shades, and you’ll be out the door in less than a minute.
