]]> Have we mentioned how much we love a good dupe? If not, let us say it again—we love a good dupe! Forget spending hundreds of dollars on those high-end products when these do the job just as well. 

Hair Care

Summer means a lot more time spent in the pool. Sadly, chlorine can have a nasty effect on your hair as it alters the pH levels which leads to frizz and breakage. A citric-acid-infused treatment like Olaplex No. 3 Hair Perfector can help, but it comes with a price tag of $30. Instead, L’Oréal Paris EverPure Bond Strengthening Concentrate works just as well for around $10. 

Primer

Yes, we love summer heat; but our makeup, not so much. High temperatures can leave your face looking greasy, which is just not the look we’re going for. The best thing to use is a mattifying primer, but not everyone has $35 to spend on Tarte Clean Slate Blur Balm. Luckily, e.l.f. Cosmetics Matte Putty Primer is just under $9.

Mascara

Humidity and mascara are not friends. The moisture in the air can make mascara smudge, leaving black marks around your eyes. Thrive Causemetics Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara has won awards, but costs $32. For $5, you can keep the smudges at bay with Essence Bye Bye Panda Eyes! Mascara.

]]> On the list of things that just scream summer, sun-kissed skin is pretty near the top. While spending time outdoors is an excellent way to get some much-needed Vitamin D, too much sun exposure can be more harmful than helpful. If you have sensitive skin that repels the sun’s rays, but don’t want to look as though you’ve been hibernating all season, here’s how to fake a summer glow. 

Feign the Flush

If you ever needed proof that the sun is a dangerous entity, the term “sunburn” should be enough. Red and painful is not the trend we’re going for, thank you very much. What is on trend, though, is applying blush in a way that looks as though you got slightly burnt—just ask Hailey Bieber. For best results, use a cream blush and apply in a “W” shape across your cheeks and nose. 

Fake Those Freckles

Over the years, many a freckled person has sought to cover their dots using make-up. The irony, now, is that make-up is being used to create those tiny marks on people who don’t possess the freckle gene! The faux freckles can be achieved using eyeliner and gently tapping the spots. And if freckles come naturally to you, now is the time to embrace your genetic gift!

Bronze, Baby

Some people turn golden by being in the sun, and others end up looking related to a tomato. If you’re the latter, bronzer is your new best friend. Choose a powder or cream bronzer that is a shade or two darker than your skin tone. Blend it around the edges of your face, your cheekbones, and collar bones for a gorgeous glow that’ll make it seem like you’ve spent hours working on your tan.
