Want to captivate on the beach with an ethereal, sun-drenched look? As beauty experts at Marieclaire.fr, we share proven tips for naiad-inspired makeup: a sensual golden glow, azure eyes, and a vibrant orange pout.
This is the foundation of flawless makeup: hydration. In summer, skin faces extra stress from UV rays. Always moisturize thoroughly before makeup, especially post-sun exposure. Select a day cream suited to your skin type—oily, dry, problematic, or otherwise. For sensitive skin and long beach days, pack an after-sun milk or face cream.
Our pick: After-sun repair, anti-wrinkle tan prolonging treatment by Institut Esthederm Paris, 50ml tube, €43
Even fair skin can mimic a post-vacation radiance. Blend a touch of tinted gel for a sheer golden veil, then enhance with sun-kissed powder. Sweep briskly from cheekbones to temples, forehead curve, face contours, and neck for a sculpted, healthy glow.

With that tanned base, opt for a vibrant coral lipstick to shine all summer. Tanned skin lets you play with shades from nude to cherry red or pastel pink—just balance lip intensity with eye makeup.
Our picks: Jelly from Interdit, orange distraction n°23 by Givenchy, €29; Dior Addict Fluid Stick, Adventure by Dior, €35.
Dare a pretty bluish halo on eyelids with cream shadow for watercolor-like transparency. Or use a base for subtlety. Finish with mascara to draw every admiring glance.
