Summer is an incredibly busy time here at the clinic, as we welcome numerous clients who are preparing for big events and exciting holidays.

The days of heavy foundations and thick makeup are long gone, as more and more of us are embracing a natural look during the summer season. It’s all about achieving a lighter, fresher, and dewy appearance. Think fresh glossy lips, full and natural-looking eyebrows, minimal makeup, and a beautifully hydrated and dewy complexion. Say goodbye to overpowering and over-contoured looks. This summer, we encourage you to strip it back and let your natural beauty shine through. If you have natural freckles, let them take centre stage, and allow your skin’s true tone to come through your makeup.

To achieve that natural look with added sun protection, Alumier SPF products are the perfect choice. Alumier, meaning “glow,” is a medical-grade skincare brand designed to make real changes in your skin and deliver noticeable results. They provide a light coverage that won’t make you feel weighed down or cakey. Instead, they allow your natural skin to radiate through, giving you a gorgeous, glowy finish. Plus, you get the added benefit of broad-spectrum coverage. Loved by celebrities and bloggers alike, they suit every skin tone. We offer different levels of coverage to cater to individual preferences. If you prefer a heavier coverage, we do have an option for this, however,  we recommend reserving it for winter or for clients dealing with active acne or areas that require additional coverage. If you’re interested in purchasing any Alumier products, simply visit us for a skincare consultation at Enhance Cosmetic, a registered Alumier clinic, and we’ll arrange to have them conveniently delivered to your doorstep.

Another fantastic option for summer is permanent makeup. It offers the freedom to enjoy your holiday without worrying about makeup smudging in and out of the pool. Many individuals choose permanent makeup for weddings and vacations. Whether it’s perfectly shaped eyebrows, defined lips, or long-lasting eyeliner, permanent makeup saves time and ensures you look your best effortlessly. During the summer, opt for sheer lip colours in watermelon, pink, peach, or coral shades, reflecting the season’s vibrancy and elegance. Keep in mind that permanent lip colours typically last between 9 to 12 months, gradually fading over time, allowing you to change your colour as desired.

Don’t forget the importance of using an SPF product daily, even on overcast days throughout the summer to avoid pigmentation. Embrace the changes your skin experiences during the summer months; s long as we protect ourselves and minimise sun exposure, it’s wonderful to let your natural skin tone shine through. The summer glow is something we don’t get to enjoy all year round, so enjoy it!

On a personal note, this summer holds tremendous excitement for me as I’m currently pregnant. I’m also looking forward to my trip to Sorrento in Italy for a babymoon. Living near the sea, I plan to spend plenty of time on the beach, enjoying early morning walks with my faithful companion, Dolly. I hope these tips and insights help you enjoy a fantastic summer filled with joy, confidence, and natural beauty.

Wishing you all a wonderful summer!
