Sunkissed: Accenting Your Late Summer Glow
As the sun begins its gentle descent into autumn, there’s a magic to the late summer glow—a warm, golden finish to long days spent basking, moving, creating. It's the season’s final kiss, and you deserve to wear it like the crown it is.
But late summer beauty isn’t about perfection—it's about radiance. It's the soft sheen of melanin catching the golden hour light, the freckles that bloom after beach days, the effortless glam of skin that’s been loved and lived in.
Here’s how to accent your late summer glow and lean into the beauty of right now:
1. Keep It Light, Keep It Lit
Swap heavy foundations for skin tints or tinted moisturizers. Let your skin breathe and shine. Look for formulas with hyaluronic acid or vitamin C to keep skin hydrated and bright. That natural dew? That’s the look.
2. Bronze Where the Sun Hits
You’re already glowing—bronzer just adds a little drama. Dust a warm-toned bronzer across the tops of your cheekbones, forehead, and collarbone. Cream bronzers melt into the skin for that sun-drenched, just-came-from-vacation finish.
3. Highlight, But Make It Golden
Late summer light calls for golden, peachy highlighters. Avoid silvery tones and lean into warm shades that complement deeper skin beautifully. Dab it on your cheekbones, nose bridge, and even your eyelids for that lit-from-within look.
4. Glossed Lips & Smudged Lines
Now’s not the time for matte lips or sharp lines. Think glosses in caramel, berry, or honey tones. Smudge a bit of brown eyeliner or bronze shadow around the eyes—like you just stepped out of the ocean and didn’t bother fixing your makeup (because you don’t have to).
5. Hair That Catches the Breeze
Whether it’s braids, curls, locs, or a protective updo—let your hair reflect your vibe. Add oils or shine sprays with UV protection. The sun is your spotlight, and your crown deserves to glisten.
6. Hydrate from the Inside Out
That glow starts with care. Coconut water, watermelon, herbal teas—hydrate like your radiance depends on it (because it kind of does). A misting spray with rosewater or aloe is a mid-day gamechanger too.
7. Confidence is the Real Finishing Touch
The key to accenting your glow? Knowing you already have it. You are the season’s highlight. The sun doesn’t set without kissing you goodnight.
Whether you’re stretching out those last beach days or just catching golden light in your rearview, your glow is timeless. Accent it, protect it, and wear it like the art it is.
